Introduction

Your Xerox Document HomeCentre is a dependable and

efficient multifunction PC companion that handles your

home computing tasks with ease. With your HomeCentre

and the software that comes with it, you can work quickly

to create quality projects for work, school, or home. Here’s

what you can do with the HomeCentre:

• Scan art, graphics, photographs, or text

• Make color copies of documents

• Print directly from your PC

The HomeCentre does all this in color or black and white.

You can scan or make copies with the scanner attached by

feeding individual pages into the HomeCentre. You can

also detach the scanner if you want to scan or make copies

of books, magazines, or other bound and large documents.

The HomeCentre CD-ROM includes Pagis Pro97 and

TextBridge© Pro 96 software. Pagis is the scanning

software that also lets you edit, organize, and file all of your

scanned images and documents.

What do the buttons and lights do?

The control panel on the front of the printer is how the

HomeCentre communicates with you. Notice that there are

three buttons with lights (LEDs).

When you are working with the HomeCentre you may need

to use the buttons to do one or more tasks. You may also want

to keep an eye on the LEDs—the HomeCentre is trying to tell

you something when the LEDs are lit or blinking.

The buttons

Use the buttons to do the following:

The LEDs

Each LED means something different, depending on

whether the light is steadily lit or blinking:

Yellow LED—When lit, you need to change or clean the

ink cartridge.

Green LED—When lit, the HomeCentre is online and

ready to print. When blinking, the HomeCentre is

processing data.

Left button

—Press and quickly release this button

to clean the cartridge, or move the print head into

position before you change an ink cartridge or

remove the print head. When the left button is

pressed and held, the cartridge is primed.

Center button

—Press and release this button to

reset the HomeCentre if a fault occurs. Pressing the

center button also toggles the HomeCentre between

the on-line and off-line states.

Right button

—Press and quickly release this button

to clear a paper jam, eject paper, or clear other

errors. Pressing and holding the right button prints

the demo page.

Note

If you press the green LED button during the

print cycle, the HomeCentre completes the current

line before it stops printing.

Red LED—When lit, an error has occurred. For example,

you stopped or suspended printing, the paper has jammed,

or the HomeCentre has run out of paper.

Using the HomeCentre software

The HomeCentre includes TWAIN-compliant PC scanning

software that is compatible with most scanning

applications. Included on your HomeCentre CD-ROM is

Pagis and TextBridge Pro 96 software.

Pagis and TextBridge Pro 96 are the scanning and optical

character recognition (OCR) software you need to convert

paper documents to electronic documents, then edit and

save them on your PC.

You use the Pagis software on your PC to work with the

HomeCentre and perform your printing, copying, and

scanning tasks. With the Pagis software, you control the

image quality, edit the scanned material, and save images

for future use.

Paper and media

Most types of paper will work well in the HomeCentre,

although some variables in paper composition may affect

print quality. Paper width is limited to 8.5 inches. Most

high-grade photocopying papers and cotton bond papers

produce good results. You should fully test a paper before

purchasing large quantities.
