H a n d l i n g E S D - s e n s i t i v e Pa r t s
Many electronic products use parts that are known to be sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). To
prevent damage to ESD-sensitive parts, do the following:
• Turn off the printer before removing logic boards.
• Keep the parts in their original packing material until you are ready to install them into the
printer.
• Make the least possible movements with your body to prevent an increase of static electricity
from clothing fibers, carpets, and furniture.
• Put the ESD wrist strap on your wrist. Connect the wrist band to the system ground point. This
action discharges any static electricity in your body to the printer.
• Hold the parts by their edge connector shroud. Do not touch its pins. If you are removing a
pluggable module, then use the correct tool.
• If possible, keep all parts in a grounded metal cabinet.
• Do not place the parts on the printer cover or on a metal table. If you need to put down the parts,
then put them into their packing material.
• Prevent parts from being accidentally touched by other personnel. Cover the printer when you are
not working on it.
• Be careful while working with the parts when cold-weather heating is used. Low humidity
increases static electricity.

A printhead must be correctly positioned after it has been removed. Use a sharp pencil or a small,
flat-blade screwdriver to mark the location of the old printhead on the printer frame. Align the new
printhead relative to the location of the old printhead.
Note: Skew is caused by a sheet being fed through the printer while misaligned. The entire
image is rotated relative to the sheet edges. However, a mechanically misaligned printhead
causes the horizontal lines to appear skewed, while the vertical lines remain parallel to the
vertical edges. The skew cannot be adjusted. Check the pick tires for wear, the paper path for
obstructions, the fuser for proper setting, and the tray paper guides for proper setting.
5. If the grid lines of the right flap align below the corresponding lines on the left side, then adjust
the printhead clockwise relative to the printer, and recheck. If the grid lines of the left flap align
below the corresponding lines of the right side, then adjust the printhead counterclockwise.
6. Print another Quick test page, and check if adjustments are still needed.
7. After obtaining a properly adjusted image on the paper, tighten all the screws.
Note: If necessary, print a Quick test page again and perform the Registration adjust
procedure to correct the skew and misalignments. See Registration adjust.

reassembly to avoid pinching wires, obstructing the paper path, or restricting mechanical
movement.
• Remove the toner cartridges, imaging kit, and trays before removing other printer parts. The
imaging kit must be carefully set on a clean, smooth, and flat surface. It must also be protected
from light while out of the printer.
• Disconnect all external cables from the printer to prevent possible damage during service.
• Unless otherwise stated, reinstall the parts in reverse order of removal.
• When reinstalling a part held with several screws, start all screws before the final tightening.
• For printers that have a soft power switch, make sure to unplug the power cord after powering off.

Power Consumption
P r o d u c t Po w e r C o n s u m p t i o n
The following table documents the power consumption characteristics of the product.
Note: Some modes may not apply to your product.
The power consumption levels listed in the previous table represent time-averaged measurements.
Instantaneous power draws may be substantially higher than the average.
Values are subject to change. See https://www.xerox.com for current values.
Sleep Mode
This product is designed with an energy-saving mode called Sleep Mode. The Sleep Mode saves
energy by lowering power consumption during extended periods of inactivity. The Sleep Mode is
automatically engaged after this product is not used for a specified period of time, called the Sleep
Mode Timeout.
By using the configuration menus, the Sleep Mode Timeout can be modified between 1 minute and
120 minutes. Setting the Sleep Mode Timeout to a low value reduces energy consumption, but may
increase the response time of the product. Setting the Sleep Mode Timeout to a high value maintains
a fast response, but uses more energy.
Hibernate Mode
This product is designed with an ultra-low power operating mode called Hibernate mode. When
operating in Hibernate Mode, all other systems and devices are powered down safely.
The Hibernate mode can be entered in any of the following methods:
• Using the Hibernate Timeout
• Using the Schedule Power modes
The amount of time the printer waits after a job is printed before it enters Hibernate mode can be
modified between one hour and one month.
Off Mode
If this product has an off mode which still consumes a small amount of power, then to completely
stop product power consumption, disconnect the power supply cord from the electrical outlet.
To t a l E n e r g y U s a g e
It is sometimes helpful to estimate the total product energy usage. Since power consumption claims
are provided in power units of Watts, the power consumption should be multiplied by the time the
product spends in each mode in order to calculate energy usage. The total product energy usage is
the sum of each mode's energy usage.
• Allow the following recommended amount of space around the printer for proper ventilation:

1 Supplies shelf life is approximately 2 years. This is based on storage in a standard office environment at 22°
C (72° F) and 45% humidity.
2 Wet-bulb temperature is determined by the air temperature and the relative humidity.
POR Sequence
As the printer is turned on, the engine code goes through a series of tests to verify hardware integrity.
If a hardware failure is detected, then it is reported to the printer. If the POR sequence cannot be
completed successfully, then the printer may post an error message. The message states that service
may be needed.

Charge
1 Charge roller
2 Photoconductor drum
The charge roller applies a uniform negative electrical charge to the surface of the photoconductor
drum. The photoconductive properties of the surface material allow it to hold the charge as long as it
is not exposed to light.
Expose
1 Printhead
2 Photoconductor drum
The printhead emits the light that contacts the surface of the photoconductor drum. The light turns
on or off coinciding with the digital latent image. The light causes areas of the photoconductor drum
surface to lose charge, resulting in a relative opposite polarity.
D eve l o p
1 Toner cartridge
2 Developer roller
3 Photoconductor drum
The developer unit applies the toner from the toner cartridge to the photoconductor drum. The
difference in charge causes the toner particles to attract to the photoconductor drum areas which are
exposed to light.
Tra n s fe r
1 Charge roller
2 Transfer roller
3 Paper
The transfer roller applies a positive charge to the paper, which is pressed between the transfer roller
and the photoconductor drum. Due to relative opposite polarities between the paper from the
transfer roller, and the photoconductor drum from the charge roller, the charge attracts the toner to
the paper.
Clean
The cleaning blade removes the residual toner from the photoconductor after the transfer. After
cleaning, the process moves again to the charge process and repeats each cycle until the entire
image is transferred to a side of the paper.
Fu s e
1 Fuser
2 Paper
Even if the toner image is already on the paper, the toner particles are not yet permanently bonded
to the surface. For the final part of printing, the paper is transported to the fuser where heat and
pressure are applied to it. As a result, the toner particles melt and permanently fuse with the paper,
completing the print process. The print cycle repeats for the succeeding pages.

8 Pick roller
9 Transferroller
The pick and feed rollers pick the paper, and then feeds it to the transport roller. The transport roller
moves the paper to the deskew roller where the paper skew is corrected.
The deskew shutter along the deskew roller corrects the paper skew.
The deskew roller feeds the paper to the transfer roller for image transfer. At the transfer roller, the
photoconductor drum transfers the developed image to the paper to create the printed image.
As the paper passes the fuser, heat and pressure are applied to bond permanently the toner to the
paper.
After the image transfer process is complete, the paper is transported to the fuser exit roller, to the
paper exit roller, and then to the output bin.
D u p l e x Pr i n t J o b
After the first side is printed, the paper stops at the output bin while still in the exit roller. The paper is
fed back into the duplex paper path to have the opposite page printed.
The paper travels along the duplex path until it reenters the second input roller. From there, the paper
continues its path until the print job is done.
