overheating of the printer.

• Do not drop paper clips or staples into the printer.

Warning: Do not push objects into slots or openings on the printer. Making contact with a

voltage point or shorting out a part could result in fire or electrical shock.

If you notice unusual noises or odors:

1. Turn off the printer immediately.

2. Disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet.

3. Call an authorized service representative to correct the problem.

The power cord is attached to the printer as a plug-in device at the back of the printer. If it

is necessary to disconnect all electrical power from the printer, disconnect the power cord

from the electrical outlet.

Warning: Do not remove the covers or guards that are fastened with screws unless you are

installing optional equipment and are specifically instructed to do so. Power should be OFF

when performing these installations. Except for user-installable options, there are no parts

that you can maintain or service behind these covers.

Choosing a Connection Method

Phaser® 6280 Printer

Connecting via USB

If you are connecting to one computer, a USB connection offers fast data speeds. A USB

connection is not as fast as an Ethernet connection. To use USB, PC users must have

Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003 or newer. Macintosh users must use Mac OS X, version 10.3

and higher.

USB Connection

A USB connection requires a standard A/B USB cable. This cable is not included with your

printer and must be purchased separately. Verify that you are using the correct USB cable

for your connection (2.0 for best results).

1. Connect one end of the USB cable to the printer and turn it on.

2. Connect the other end of the USB cable to the computer.

Configuring the Network Address

This section includes:

•TCP/IP and IP Addresses on page 35

•Dynamic Methods of Setting the Printer’s IP Address on page 36

•Manually Setting the Printer’s IP Address on page 37

TCP/IP and IP Addresses

If your computer is on a large network, contact your network administrator for the

appropriate TCP/IP addresses and additional configuration information.

If you are creating your own small Local Area Network or connecting the printer directly to

your computer using Ethernet, follow the procedure for automatically setting the printer’s

Internet Protocol (IP) address.

PCs and printers primarily use TCP/IP protocols to communicate over an Ethernet network.

With TCP/IP protocols, each printer and computer must have a unique IP address. It is

important that the addresses are similar, but not the same; only the last digit needs to be

different. For example, your printer can have the address 192.168.1.2 while your computer

has the address 192.168.1.3. Another device can have the address 192.168.1.4.

Generally, Macintosh computers use either TCP/IP or the Bonjour protocol to talk to a

networked printer. For Mac OS X systems, TCP/IP is preferred. Unlike TCP/IP, however,

Bonjour does not require printers or computers to have IP addresses.

Many networks have a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. A DHCP server

automatically programs an IP address into every PC and printer on the network that is

configured to use DHCP. A DHCP server is built into most cable and DSL routers. If you use

a cable or DSL router, see your router’s documentation for information on IP addressing.

Configuring the Network Address

Phaser® 6280 Printer

Dynamic Methods of Setting the Printer’s IP Address

There are two protocols available for dynamically setting the printer’s IP address:

• DHCP (enabled by default on all Phaser printers)

• AutoIP

You can turn on/off both protocols using the control panel, or use CentreWare IS to turn

on/off DHCP.

Note: You can view the printer's IP address at any time. On the control panel, select Menu.

Then select Information Pgs and press the OK button. Finally, select Configuration, and

then press the OK button.

Using the Control Panel

To turn on/off either the DHCP or AutoIP protocol:

1. On the control panel, select the Menu button.

2. Select the Admin menu, and then press the OK button.

3. Select the Network Setup menu, and then press the OK button.

4. Select the TCP/IP menu, and then press the OK button.

5. Select IPv4, and then press the OK button.

6. Select Get IP Address, and then press the OK button.

7. Select DHCP, and then press the OK button.

Using CentreWare IS

To turn on/off the DHCP protocol:

1. Launch your web browser.

2. Enter the printer’s IP address in the browser’s Address field (http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx).

3. Select Properties.

4. Select the Protocols folder on the left navigation panel.

5. Select TCP/IP.

6. In the Get IP Address field, select the DHCP/Autonet option.

7. Click the Save Changes button.

Configuring the Network Address

Phaser® 6280 Printer

Manually Setting the Printer’s IP Address

Note: Verify that your computer has a properly configured IP address for your network.

Contact your network administrator for more information.

If you are on a network without a DHCP server, or in an environment where the network

administrator assigns printer IP addresses, you can use this method to manually set the IP

address. Manually setting the IP address overrides DHCP and AutoIP. Alternatively, if you

are in a small office with a single PC and use a dialup modem connection, you can

manually set the IP address.

Information Required for Manual IP Addressing

Information Comments

Internet Protocol (IP) address of the printer Format is xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, where xxx represents a

decimal number from 0–255.

Network Mask Get this information from your network

Phaser® 6280 Printer

Supported Paper and Media

This section includes:

•Paper Usage Guidelines on page 46

•Paper That Can Damage Your Printer on page 47

•Paper Storage Guidelines on page 47

Your printer is designed to be used with a variety of paper types. Follow the guidelines in

this section to ensure the best print quality and to avoid jams.

For best results, use Xerox printing media specified for your Phaser 6280 printer. They are

guaranteed to produce excellent results with your printer.

To order paper, transparencies, or other specialty media, contact your local reseller or go to

www.xerox.com/office/6280supplies.

Caution: Damage caused by using unsupported paper, transparencies, and other specialty

media is not covered by the Xerox warranty, service agreement, or Total Satisfaction

Guarantee. The Total Satisfaction Guarantee is available in the United States and Canada.

Coverage may vary outside these areas; please contact your local representative for details.

Paper Usage Guidelines

The printer trays accommodate most sizes and types of paper, transparencies, or other

specialty media. Follow these guidelines when loading paper and media in the trays:

• Envelopes and transparencies can be printed from Tray 1 (MPT) only.

• Fan paper, transparencies, or other specialty media before loading in the paper tray.

• Do not print on label stock once a label has been removed from a sheet.

• Use only paper envelopes. Do not use envelopes with windows, metal clasps, or

adhesives with release strips.

• All envelopes should be printed single-sided only.

• Some wrinkling and embossing may occur when printing envelopes.

• Do not overload the paper trays. Do not load paper above the fill line on the inside of

the paper guide.

• Adjust the paper guides to fit the paper size. For Trays 2–3, the paper guides click into

place when they are adjusted correctly.

• If excessive jams occur, use paper or other media from a new package.

Paper That Can Damage Your Printer

Your printer is designed to use a variety of media types for print jobs. However, some media

can cause poor output quality, increased paper jams, or damage to your printer.

Unacceptable media includes:

• Rough or porous media

• Plastic media other than supported transparencies

• Paper that has been folded or wrinkled

• Paper with staples

• Envelopes with windows or metal clasps

• Padded envelopes

• Non-laser glossy or coated paper

• Perforated media

Paper Storage Guidelines

Providing good storage conditions for your paper and other media contributes to optimum

print quality.

• Store paper in dark, cool, relatively dry locations. Most paper items are susceptible to

damage from ultraviolet (UV) and visible light. UV radiation, which is emitted by the

sun and fluorescent bulbs, is particularly damaging to paper items. The intensity and

length of exposure to visible light on paper items should be reduced as much as

possible.

• Maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity.

• Avoid attics, kitchens, garages, and basements for storing paper. Inside walls are drier

than outside walls where moisture can collect.

• Store paper flat. Paper should be stored on pallets, cartons, shelves, or in cabinets.

• Avoid having food or drinks in the area where paper is stored or handled.

• Do not open sealed packages of paper until you are ready to load them into the

printer. Leave paper in the original packaging. For most commercial cut-size grades, the

ream wrapper contains an inner lining that protects the paper from moisture loss or

gain.

• Leave the media inside the bag until you are ready to use it; reinsert unused media in

the bag and reseal it for protection. Some specialty media is packaged inside

resealable plastic bags.

best results, use only recommended Xerox transparencies.

To order paper, transparencies, or other specialty media, contact your local reseller or go to

www.xerox.com/office/6280supplies.

Caution: Damage caused by using unsupported paper, transparencies, and other specialty

media is not covered by the Xerox warranty, service agreement, or Total Satisfaction

Guarantee. The Total Satisfaction Guarantee is available in the United States and Canada.

Coverage may vary outside these areas; please contact your local representative for details.

Guidelines

• Remove all paper before loading transparencies in the tray.

• Do not load more than 25 sheets in Tray 1 (MPT). Overloading the tray may cause the

printer to jam.

• Handle transparencies by the edges using both hands to avoid fingerprints and

creases, which may cause poor print quality.

• Fan transparencies before loading in the paper tray.

This section explains how to print on transparencies.

Printing on Specialty Media

Phaser® 6280 Printer

Loading Transparencies

Note: Transparencies with a white frame and full-color transparencies cannot be used.

1. After carefully fanning a small stack of transparencies, load them into Tray 1 (MPT)

with the side to be printed facing down. Load no more than 25 transparencies at a

time.

2. Slide the paper guides to the size of the transparencies.

3. Pull out the output tray extension when loading paper, such as transparencies.

Printing on Transparencies

When MPT Mode is set to Panel Specified, you need to set the paper type and size settings

for the tray on the control panel in advance. See Setting Paper Types and Sizes on page 50.

Printing transparencies continuously may lead to the output transparencies sticking to

each other. Remove the transparencies from the output tray after about 20 sheets, and

then fan them to lower their temperatures.

Using the PostScript Driver

To print on transparencies using the PostScript print driver, display the Paper/Output tab.

1. From the File menu, select Print.

2. Select this printer as the printer to be used and click Preferences or Properties.

3. Select the Paper/Output tab.

4. From Paper Type, select Transparency.

Printing Envelopes

Envelopes can be printed only from Tray 1 (MPT).

Guidelines

• Successful envelope printing is highly dependent on the quality and construction of the

envelopes. Use envelopes made specifically for laser printers.

• It is recommended that you maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity.

• Store unused envelopes in their packaging to avoid the effects of moisture and dryness

which can affect print quality and cause wrinkling. Excessive moisture can cause the

envelopes to seal before or during printing.

• Avoid padded envelopes; purchase envelopes that lie flat on a surface.

• Remove air bubbles from the envelopes before loading by setting a heavy book on top

of the envelopes.

• If wrinkling or embossing problems occur, use a different brand of envelopes made

specifically for laser printers.

Caution: Never use envelopes with windows or metal clasps; they can damage the printer.

Damage caused by using unsupported envelopes is not covered under the Xerox warranty,

service agreement, or Total Satisfaction Guarantee. The Total Satisfaction Guarantee is

available in the United States and Canada. Coverage may vary outside these areas, please

contact your local representative for details.
