The Smart Proximity Sensor detects when a user approaches or leaves the device, using a reflective
sensor. This feature provides convenience for users, and can reduce power consumption. You can
enable the device to wake up and sleep based on the detection of a user. To configure the Smart
Proximity Sensor, refer to the System Administrator Guide at www.xerox.com/office/ALC81XXdocs.

The printer has two power switches. The main power switch, located behind the front door, controls
the main power to the printer. The secondary power switch is the Power/Wake button on the control
panel. The Power/Wake button controls power to the printer electronic components, and when
powered off, initiates a software-controlled shutdown procedure. The preferred method to power on
and off the printer is to use the Power/Wake button.
• To power on the printer, open the front door, then power on the main power switch. On the
control panel, press the Power/Wake button.
• To enter or exit Sleep mode, press the Power/Wake button.
Note:
• When the printer receives data from a connected device, the printer exits Sleep mode
automatically.
• When the printer receives data from a network print job, to reduce power consumption, only
necessary electronic components exit Sleep mode automatically. The control panel and the
document scanner do not exit Sleep Mode.
• When the printer is in Sleep mode, the touch screen is powered off and unresponsive. To
wake the printer manually, press the Power/Wake button, or move into the Smart Proximity
Sensor detection zone.
