Date And Time Are Incorrect - Xerox WorkCentre 7970 User Manual

Date and Time Are Incorrect

The date and time are set automatically when the printer is connected to a network that has a Network
Time Protocol (NTP) server. NTP is used to synchronize the internal clocks of computers over a network
connection at system startup and every subsequent 24-hour period thereafter. This feature ensures that
the internal clock of the printer stays synchronized with the NTP server you specify.
Probable Causes
The Date and Time Setup is set to Manual
(NTP Disabled).
The time zone, date, or time is set incorrectly. Set the time zone, date, and time manually:
