Powering On the Printer or Exiting Low-Power or Sleep Mode 
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 Low-Power mode or Sleep mode, press the Power/Wake button. 
Notes: 
•  The printer exits Low-Power mode or Sleep mode automatically when it receives data from a 
connected device. 
•  When in Low-Power mode or Sleep mode, the touch screen is powered off and unresponsive.   
To wake the printer manually, press the Power/Wake button. 
•  If Auto Power Off is enabled, the printer powers off automatically after the specified 
conditions are met. To enable Auto Power Off mode, contact your System Administrator. 
For details, refer to the System Administrator Guide at www.xerox.com/office/ALC80XXdocs. 
 
 
CAUTION: Do not plug or unplug the power cord while the printer is powered on.
