Getting Help
This section includes: Control Panel Messages on page 139 PrintingScout Alerts on page 139 Online Support Assistant on page 139 Web Links on page 140
Xerox provides several automatic diagnostic tools to help you produce and maintain print quality.

Control Panel Messages

The control panel provides you with information and troubleshooting help. When an error or warning condition occurs, the control panel displays a message informing you of the problem.

PrintingScout Alerts

PrintingScout is a tool that is included on the Software and Documentation CD-ROM. It automatically checks the printer status when you send a print job. If the printer is unable to print your job, PrintingScout automatically displays an alert on your computer screen to let you know that the printer needs attention. PrintingScout is unavailable for Windows Vista.

Online Support Assistant

The Online Support Assistant is a knowledge base that provides instructions and troubleshooting help to solve your printer problems. You can find solutions for print quality, media jams, software installation, and much more. To access the Online Support Assistant, go to www.xerox.com/office/6280support.

Phaser 6280 Printer 139

Web Links
Xerox provides several websites that offer additional help on your Phaser 6280 printer. A set of Xerox links is installed in your web browsers Favorites folder when you install the Xerox printer drivers on your computer.

Phaser 6280 Printer 148

Checking Page Counts
The total number of printed pages can be checked at the control panel. Three meters are available: Total Impressions, Color Impressions, and Black Impressions. The billing meter counts the number of pages printed properly. Single side print (including N-up) is counted as one impression, and 2-sided print (including N-up) is counted as two. During duplex printing, if an error occurs after one side is printed properly, it is counted as one. When printing color data, that has been converted by using ICC profile on an application, with the Color (Auto) setting, the data is printed by color even if it seems to be black and white data on the monitor. In that case, Color Impressions is increased. Note: Grayscale images printed with the composite black setting count as color pages, because color consumables are used. This is the default setting on most printers. When doing 2 sided printing, a blank page may be inserted automatically depending on the settings on the application. In this case, the blank page is counted as one page. Use the following procedure to check a meter: 1. Press the Menu button. 2. Press either the Up Arrow or Down Arrow button until Billing Meter is displayed, and then press the Forward Arrow or OK button. 3. Press the Up Arrow or Down Arrow button until the desired meter is displayed. 4. After checking, press the Menu button.

Phaser 6280 Printer 149

Carry out the following procedure when moving the printer. To view precautions and guidelines for safely moving your printer, see User Safety on page 8. The printer, configured with the optional accessories, paper trays, and consumables, weighs 24.5 kg (54 lb.). When moving the equipment, make sure that there are two or more persons carrying it. When lifting the printer, be sure to observe the following points. Failure to do so may cause the printer to fall and result in injuries. Two persons, one facing the front of the printer (control panel) and the other facing the back, should firmly grip the recessed areas on the bottom part of both sides of the printer. Never try to lift the printer by gripping any other areas.
Warning: If the 550-Sheet Feeder (optional) has been installed, uninstall it before moving the printer. If these are not fixed securely to the printer, they may fall to the ground and cause injuries. For details on how to uninstall the options, refer to the instructions sheet that is bundled with each option. Note: The front side of this printer is heavier than the rear. Take note of this difference in weight when moving the printer.
