Printer Unpacking and Setup
1
Remove the printer and all accessories from the packing carton.
Save the carton and packing materials in case you need to repack the printer for service or
storage.
2
Make sure that your printer came packed with the following items:
• Laser print cartridge
• Power cord
• User Guide (this book)
• Warranty Information
• Xerox DocuPrint P8ex CD-ROM
This CD-ROM contains the software required to operate your printer, along with useful
printer utilities and a complete Reference Guide. Should your computer not be equipped
with a CD-ROM drive, please visit the Xerox website at www.xerox.com. If you do not
have Internet access, refer to “Making Installation Diskettes” (page 1-17) for detailed
instructions for creating installation diskettes.
Additional items contained on the CD-ROM that are not accessed through the main setup
routine:
- Adobe Acrobat Reader located in the Acrobat directory.
- Documentation located in the Docs directory:
Reference Guide: XX_P8EXR.pdf (where XX indicates the language code

The printer box may also contain an IEEE 1284-compliant printer cable. Look at the drawings
labeled “Contents” on the top flap of the box. If a printer cable is not pictured there, you will
need to obtain a cable before installing the printer.
If any items are missing or damaged, notify your dealer immediately.
3
Carefully remove any shipping tapes from the printer.
4
Place the printer on a flat, stable surface near your workstation. Leave at least 6 inches (15 cm)
behind and on each side of the printer, and at least 1 foot (30 cm) in front of the printer, so that
you can operate it properly and allow adequate air circulation.
Do not place the printer:
• In direct sunlight.
• Near heat sources or air conditioners. Place the printer where the temperature is stable and
set for comfort.
• In dusty or dirty environments. Dust accumulation may prevent the printer from functioning
properly.
• Near devices that contain magnets or generate magnetic fields (such as loudspeakers or base
units of cordless telephones).
