Remove the printer and all accessories from the packing carton. 
Save the carton and packing materials in case you need to repack the printer for service or 
storage.

Make sure that your printer came packed with the following items:
• Laser print cartridge
• Power cord
• User Guide (this book)
• Warranty Information
• Xerox DocuPrint P8ex CD-ROM
This CD-ROM contains the software required to operate your printer, along with useful 
printer utilities and a complete Reference Guide. Should your computer not be equipped 
with a CD-ROM drive, please visit the Xerox website at www.xerox.com. If you do not 
have Internet access, refer to “Making Installation Diskettes” (page 1-17) for detailed 
instructions for creating installation diskettes.
Additional items contained on the CD-ROM that are not accessed through the main setup 
routine:
- Adobe Acrobat Reader located in the Acrobat directory.
- Documentation located in the Docs directory:

The printer box may also contain an IEEE 1284-compliant printer cable. Look at the drawings 
labeled “Contents” on the top flap of the box. If a printer cable is not pictured there, you will 
need to obtain a cable before installing the printer.
If any items are missing or damaged, notify your dealer immediately.

Carefully remove any shipping tapes from the printer.

Place the printer on a flat, stable surface near your workstation. Leave at least 6 inches (15 cm) 
behind and on each side of the printer, and at least 1 foot (30 cm) in front of the printer, so that 
you can operate it properly and allow adequate air circulation.
Do not place the printer:
• In direct sunlight.
• Near heat sources or air conditioners. Place the printer where the temperature is stable and 
set for comfort.
• In dusty or dirty environments. Dust accumulation may prevent the printer from functioning 
properly.
• Near devices that contain magnets or generate magnetic fields (such as loudspeakers or base 
units of cordless telephones).
