Getting Started

Initial Printer Setup

Before installing the printer software, verify that the printer is set up correctly. Setup includes
enabling the optional features and assigning an IP address for the Ethernet network connection.
Printer settings can be configured at the printer control panel or by using the Embedded Web Server.
To configure settings at the printer control panel, the Installation wizard starts the first time that you
power on the printer. The wizard prompts you with a series of questions to help configure basic
printer settings.
The System Administrator can configure the following settings:
• Language
• Network Connection
• Proxy Server Setup
• Date and Time
• Measurements
• LDAP Settings
• Apps Setup
• Security Settings
For more information on configuring the printer settings at the control panel or using the Embedded
Web Server, refer to the System Administrator Guide at www.xerox.com/office/ALC81XXdocs.

Configuration Watchdog is a security feature that monitors feature settings to ensure that the device
stays in the appropriate configuration throughout day-to-day operations. The feature ensures that
values remain compliant without external device monitoring. When a watched setting changes,
Configuration Watchdog detects the change on the next manual or scheduled check. After a change
is detected, Configuration Watchdog remediates the feature to the required settings.
After remediation occurs, administrators can view the list of remediated items on the Configuration
Watchdog page.
For more information about Configuration Watchdog, contact your system administrator, or refer to
the System Administrator Guide at www.xerox.com/office/ALC81XXdocs.
