Generating Floppy Disks from your CD
With your DocuPrint C8 printer you will receive a CD
containing the software for operating your printer in
connection with your PC.
For your convenience, it is possible for you to copy the
Windows 95/98 Printer Driver onto a floppy disk using
the instructions provided below:
Hold down the shift key and insert the DocuPrint C8
CD into the CD-ROM drive; holding down the shift
key suspends the Auto Start of the installer.
Open My Computer and right-click on the CD-ROM
drive (for example, the D drive).
Double-click on the
Diskmake
directory
to open
it.
Double-click on
setup.exe
to run the utility.
Follow the instructions provided by the utility.
Safety notes
Your DocuPrint C8 has been carefully designed to give
you years of safe, reliable performance. As with all
electrical equipment, however, there are a few basic
precautions you should take to avoid hurting yourself or
damaging the unit.
1. Read and follow all warnings and instructions marked
on or supplied with the printer.
2. Unplug the printer before you clean it. Use a damp
cloth only; do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
3
3. Place your printer on a firm, solid surface. If you put
it on an unsteady surface, it might fall and become
damaged. If you place the printer on a soft surface,
such as a rug, sofa, or bed, the vents may be blocked,
causing it to overheat.
4. Do not put the printer on or near a heat source, such
as a radiator or heat register. If you put the printer in
any kind of enclosure, make sure it is well ventilated.
5. Do not use your printer near water, or spill liquid of
any kind into it.
6. Ensure that your power source matches the rating
listed on the back of the printer.
7. Be sure to install the printer near a power outlet that
will remain easily accessible.
8. To avoid damaging the power cord, do not put
anything on it or place it where it will be walked on.
If the cord becomes damaged or frayed, replace it
immediately.
4
9.
The use of an extension cord or power strip with this
printer is not
recommended
. If you are using an
extension cord or power strip with the printer, make
sure that the total of the amperes required by all of
the equipment on the extension is less than the
extension’s rating. Generally, the total ratings of all
equipment plugged into any one power line should
not exceed 15 amperes. Do not exceed this unless you
know that the power line your equipment is plugged
into has a rating above 15 amperes.
10. You must only use the 3-conductor, 18 AWG, SVT
type, IEC320 style power cord provided with your
printer (e.g., a plug having a third grounding pin).
This plug will only fit into a grounding-type power
outlet. This is a safety feature. To avoid the risk of
electric shock, contact your electrician to replace the
receptacle if you are unable to insert the plug into the
outlet. Never use a ground adapter plug to connect
the printer to a power source receptacle that lacks a
ground connection terminal.
5
11. Aside from the routine maintenance described in your
printer documentation, do not try to service the
printer yourself. Opening the cover may expose you
to shocks or other hazards. Do not make any
adjustments other than those described in the
documentation, as you might cause damage requiring
extensive repair work.
12. If anything happens that indicates that your printer is
not working properly or has been damaged, unplug it
immediately and have your printer serviced. These
are some of the things to look for:
The power cord or plug is frayed or damaged.
Liquid has been spilled into the housing, or the
printer has been exposed to water.
The printer has been dropped or its cabinet has
been damaged.
The printer does not function normally when you
are following the operating instructions.
6
13. The CE marking applied to this product symbolizes
Xerox’s declaration of conformity with the following
applicable directives of the European Union as of the
dates indicated.
January 1, 1995—Council Directive 73/23/EEC
amended by Council Directive 93/68/EEC,

related to low voltage equipment.
January 1, 1996—Council Directive
89/336/EEC, Approximation of the laws of the
member states related to electromagnetic
compatibility.
A full declaration defining the relevant directives
and referenced standards can be obtained from
your Xerox representative.
WARNING: In order to allow this equipment to
operate in proximity to Industrial, Scientific and
Medical (ISM) equipment, the external radiation
from ISM equipment may have to be limited or
special mitigation measures taken.
14. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference,
and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
15. This Class “B” digital apparatus complies with
