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/ALC80XXdocs. 
 
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/ALC80XXsupport. 
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 Printing the Configuration 
Report on page 44. 
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/ALC80XXdocs.
