Initial Printer Setup; Updating The Printer System Software - Xerox AltaLink B80XX Series User Manual

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/ALB80XXdocs.

Updating the Printer System Software

Before installing print driver software, verify that the printer has the latest version of system software
loaded. You can update your device when Xerox releases a new version of printer system software or
firmware. To ensure a successful software update, follow the steps provided with the software files.
Printer system software is downloaded from www.xerox.com/office/ALB80XXsupport.
Before you download and install new software, determine the current software version installed on your
device. Print the Configuration Report to compare the system software version with the version available
for download. For instructions about printing a Configuration Report, refer to
Report on page 40.
Follow the instructions provided with the software to download the files and upgrade your device.
You can configure the device to connect routinely to an FTP directory on your network to update device
software automatically. You can also update the device software manually. For more information about
updating system operating software, refer to the System Administrator Guide at
www.xerox.com/office/ALB80XXdocs.
