Functions Related to NIST 800-171 for Local Authentication
To improve critical cybersecurity infrastructure for organizations, the National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST) in the United States created the Cybersecurity Framework (CSF). The system administrator can change the NIST 800-171r2 compatible settings through the Embedded Web Server. The NIST 800-171r2 related functions include the following features:
The system administrator can configure the printer to prohibit the reuse of a previous user ID value for a specified amount of time since the user ID was last used, from 1–999 days. The system administrator can change the number of days through the Embedded Web Server.
The printer disables the user accounts that have not logged in to the printer for a specified period. The system administrator can specify the number of days, from 1–999 days. If your account is locked after a period of time and you cannot access the printer, contact your system administrator for assistance.
When you change a password, the printer restricts the number of characters that you can reuse from the previous password. The system administrator specifies the maximum number of characters that can be reused, from 1–63. The printer rejects any new password that exceeds the specified maximum number of reused characters. If you are changing your password and encounter an error, contact your system administrator and comply with the password complexity requirements for your printer.
For example, if the maximum number of characters is set to 3 characters, a password of TEST123 cannot be changed to TEST444 , because it contains four characters from the previous password. A password of
GOOD123 is valid, because it contains three characters from the previous password.
28 Xerox ® VersaLink ® C500 Color Printer User Guide
To prohibit the reuse of recent passwords, the system administrator can specify the interval before a user can reuse a password. The interval range is from 1–10. If you are changing your password and encounter an error, contact your system administrator and comply with the password complexity requirements for your printer.
After the system administrator creates a user account or changes or resets the account password using one of the following options, when you log in, the printer can prompt a password change:
• EEddiitt
When the option is enabled, the password set by the system administrator is regarded as a temporary password.
When you are logged in with a temporary password, the printer prompts you to change the password. As a security feature, you are required to change your password before the first login at the printer. Until the temporary password is changed, remote authentication attempts through EIP or SNMP fail for the user. Contact your system administrator for assistance.
After a specified number of invalid login attempts for a user account, the printer locks out the account. If you do not log in to the printer for a long period of time, your account can be disabled automatically. Contact your system administrator for assistance.
For more information, refer to the System Administrator Guide at www.xerox.com/office/VLC500docs .

Connecting the Printer
S E L E C T I N G A C O N N E C T I O N M E T H O D
You can connect the printer to your computer using a USB cable, Ethernet cable, or wireless connection. The method that you select depends on how your computer is connected to the network. A USB connection is a direct connection and is the easiest to set up. An Ethernet connection is used to connect to a network. If you are using a network connection, it is important to understand how your computer is connected to the network.
Note: Hardware and cabling requirements vary for the different connection methods. Routers, network hubs, network switches, modems, Ethernet cables, and USB cables are not included with your printer and must be purchased separately.
If you connect the printer to one computer and do not have a network, use a USB connection. A USB connection offers fast data speeds, but typically not as fast as a network connection.
Note: To access the Embedded Web Server, a network connection is required.
If your computer is connected to an office network or home network, use an Ethernet cable to connect the printer to the network. You cannot connect the printer directly to the computer. A connection through a router or network switch is required. An Ethernet network can be used for one or more computers and supports many printers and systems simultaneously. An Ethernet connection is typically faster than USB and allows you direct access to the settings of the printer using the Embedded Web Server.
If your environment includes a wireless router or wireless access point, you can connect the printer to the network with a wireless connection. A wireless network connection provides the same access and services as a wired connection. A wireless network connection is typically faster than USB and allows direct access to the settings of the printer using the Embedded Web Server.

Connecting to a Network with a Wi-Fi Protected Setup
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a network standard for setting up a wireless network. The WPS protocols enable you to set up devices in a secure wireless network without having wireless networking experience. With a WPS-certified router, you can use tools in the router and the printer to connect the printer to the network. To use the tools, ensure that the wireless router is configured properly and is compliant with the WPS.
• Push Button Connection (PBC) is the easiest way to connect the printer to a wireless network. It automatically connects when you push a button on the router and on the printer. After the router and printer exchange information, the printer accepts the security and configuration information from the router and connects to the network. The PBC is a moderately secure way to connect the printer to the network. You do not need to enter any information to make the network connection.
• PIN (Personal Identification Number) automatically connects the printer to a wireless router using a common
PIN. The printer generates and prints a PIN for use in the setup process. When you enter the PIN into the router, the router broadcasts network information using the PIN. When both devices recognize the PIN, the router provides the security and configuration information to the printer, which uses it to connect to the network.
Connecting to a WPS Wireless Network Using the PBC Method

Printing Exception Pages
Exception pages have different settings from the rest of the pages in the job. You can specify differences such as page size, page type, and page color. You can also change the side of the paper on which to print as your job requires. A print job can contain multiple exceptions.
For example, your print job contains 30 pages. You want five pages to print on only one side of a special paper, and the remainder of the pages printed 2-sided on regular paper. You can use exception pages to print the job.
In the Add Exceptions window, you can set the characteristics of the exception pages and select the alternate paper source:
• PPaaggeess: Specifies the page or range of pages that use the exception page characteristics. Separate individual pages or page ranges with commas. Specify pages within a range with a hyphen. For example, to specify pages

Some paper and other media types can cause poor output quality, increased paper jams, or damage your printer.
Do not use the following:
• Rough or porous paper
• Inkjet paper
• Non-laser glossy or coated paper
• Paper that has been photocopied
• Paper that has been folded or wrinkled
• Paper with cutouts or perforations

The Xerox Total Satisfaction Guarantee is available in the United States and Canada. Coverage could vary outside these areas. Please contact your local representative for details.
PA P E R S TO R A G E G U I D E L I N E S
Storing your paper and other media properly contributes to optimum print quality.
• Store paper in dark, cool, relatively dry locations. Most paper is susceptible to damage from ultraviolet and visible light. Ultraviolet light, from the sun and fluorescent bulbs, is particularly damaging to paper.
• Reduce the exposure of paper to strong lights for long periods of time.
• Maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity.
• Avoid storing paper in attics, kitchens, garages, or basements. These spaces are more likely to collect moisture.
• Store paper flat, either on pallets, cartons, shelves, or in cabinets.
• Avoid food or drinks in the area where paper is stored or handled.
• Do not open sealed packages of paper until you are ready to load the paper into the printer. Leave stored paper in the original packaging. The paper wrapper protects the paper from moisture loss or gain.
• Some special media is packaged inside resealable plastic bags. Store the media inside the bag until you are ready to use it. Keep unused media in the bag and reseal it for protection.

Guidelines for Printing Envelopes
• Use only paper envelopes.
• Do not use envelopes with windows or metal clasps.
• Print quality depends on the quality and construction of the envelopes. If you do not get the desired results, try another envelope brand.
• Maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity.
• Store unused envelopes in their packaging to avoid excess moisture and dryness which can affect print quality and cause wrinkling. Excessive moisture can cause the envelopes to seal before or during printing.
• Remove air bubbles from the envelopes before loading them into the tray by setting a heavy book on top of the envelopes.
• In the print driver software, select Envelope as the paper type.
• Do not use padded envelopes. Use envelopes that lie flat on a surface.
• Do not use envelopes with heat-activated glue.
• Do not use envelopes with press-and-seal flaps.

• To prevent jams, ensure that the leading edge of the envelopes are flat or have only a slight upward curl, less than 5 mm (.19 in.), before loading into the tray. If the edge is curled or swollen, fold it over to decurl. The length of the curl must be within 8–10 mm (.31–.39 in.). Downward curl at the leading edge of envelopes is not acceptable and can cause a jam or misfeed.
• Load envelopes up to 16.5 mm (.65 in.) in height. This is approximately 10–20 envelopes, depending on brand, size, and texture.
• If you do not load envelopes in the Bypass Tray right after you have removed the envelopes from the packaging, the envelopes can bulge. To avoid jams, flatten the envelopes before loading them into the tray.

Xerox ® VersaLink ® C500 Color Printer User Guide 129
General Precautions
• Internal parts of the printer can be hot. Use caution when doors and covers are open.
• Keep all cleaning materials out of the reach of children.
• Do not use pressurized spray cleaning aids on or in the printer. Some pressurized sprays contain explosive mixtures and are not suitable for use in electrical applications. Use of pressurized spray cleaners increases the risk of fire and explosion.
• Do not remove the covers or guards that are fastened with screws. You cannot maintain or service any parts that are behind these covers and guards. Do not attempt any maintenance procedure that is not described in the documentation supplied with your printer.
• When cleaning your printer do not use organic or strong chemical solvents or aerosol cleaners. Do not pour fluids directly into any area. Use supplies and cleaning materials only as directed in this documentation.
• Do not place anything on top of the printer.
• Do not leave the covers and doors open for any length of time, especially in well-lighted places. Light exposure can damage the drum cartridges.
• Do not open covers and doors during printing.
• Do not tilt the printer while it is in use.
• Do not touch the electrical contacts or gears. Doing so could damage the printer and cause the print quality to deteriorate.
• Ensure that any parts removed during cleaning are replaced before you plug in the printer.
130 Xerox ® VersaLink ® C500 Color Printer User Guide
Cleaning the Printer
C L E A N I N G T H E E X T E R I O R
Clean the exterior of the printer once a month.
• Wipe the paper tray, output tray, control panel, and other parts with a damp, soft cloth.
• After cleaning, wipe with a dry, soft cloth.
• For stubborn stains, apply a small amount of mild detergent to the cloth and gently wipe the stain off.
C Do not spray detergent directly on the printer. Liquid detergent could enter the printer through a gap and cause problems. Never use cleaning agents other than water or mild detergent.
C L E A N I N G T H E I N T E R I O R
W Never touch a labeled area on or near the heat roller in the fuser. You can get burned. If a sheet of paper is wrapped around the heat roller, do not try to remove it immediately. Power off the printer immediately and wait 40 minutes for the fuser to cool. Try to remove the paper jam after the printer has cooled.
To prevent stains inside the printer that can deteriorate print quality, clean the interior of the printer regularly. Clean the printer interior whenever you replace a drum cartridge.
After clearing paper jams or replacing a toner cartridge, inspect inside the printer before closing the printer covers and doors.
• Remove any remaining pieces of paper or debris.
• Remove any dust or stains with a clean, dry, lint-free cloth.
Cleaning the LED Lenses
If prints have voids or light streaks through one or more colors, use the following instructions to clean the LED lenses.
W If you accidentally get toner on your clothes, lightly dust them off as best as you can. If some toner remains on your clothes, use cool water, not hot, to rinse off the toner. If toner gets on your skin, wash it off with cool water and a mild soap. If you get toner in your eyes, wash it out immediately with cool water and consult a doctor.

Environmental Information Providing Environmental Solutions and Reducing Cost
The following information has been developed to assist users and has been issued in relation to the European
Union (EU) Energy Related Products Directive, specifically the Lot 4 study on Imaging Equipment. This requires manufacturers to improve environmental performance of in scope products and supports the EU action plan on energy efficiency.
In scope products are Household and Office equipment that meet the following criteria:
• Standard monochrome format products with a maximum speed less than 66 A4 images per minute
• Standard color format products with a maximum speed less than 51 A4 images per minute
Environmental Benefits of Duplex Printing
Most Xerox products have duplex printing, also known as 2-sided printing, capability. This enables you to print on both sides of the paper automatically, and therefore helps to reduce the use of valuable resources by reducing your paper consumption. The Lot 4 Imaging Equipment agreement requires that on models greater than or equal to 40 ppm color or greater than or equal to 45 ppm monochrome the duplex function has been auto-enabled, during the setup and driver installation. Some Xerox models below these speed bands may also be enabled with 2-sided printing settings defaulted on at the time of install. Continuing to use the duplex function will reduce the environmental impact of your work. However, should you require simplex/1-sided printing, you may change the print settings in the print driver.
Paper Types
This product can be used to print on both recycled and virgin paper, approved to an environmental stewardship scheme, which complies with EN12281 or a similar quality standard. Lighter weight paper (60 g/m²), which contains
Xerox ® VersaLink ® C500 Color Printer User Guide 191
less raw material and thus saves resources per print, may be used in certain applications. We encourage you to check if this is suitable for your printing needs.
ENERGY STAR
The ENERGY STAR program is a voluntary scheme to promote the development and purchase of energy-efficient models, which help to reduce environmental impact. Details on the ENERGY STAR program and models qualified to ENERGY STAR can be found at the following website: www.energystar.gov
.
The ENERGY STAR and ENERGY STAR mark are registered United States trademarks.
The ENERGY STAR Imaging Equipment Program is a team effort between United States,
European Union, Japanese governments, and the office equipment industry to promote energy-efficient copiers, printers, fax, multifunction printers, personal computers, and monitors. Reducing product energy consumption helps combat smog, acid rain, and longterm changes to the climate by decreasing the emissions that result from generating electricity.

Power Consumption and Activation Time
The amount of electricity that a device consumes depends on the way the device is used. This device is designed and configured to enable you to reduce your electricity usage.
Power Saver modes are enabled on your device to reduce energy consumption. After the last print, the device transitions to Ready mode. In this mode, the device can print again immediately. If the device is not used for a specified period, the device transitions to Low Power mode, then to Sleep mode. In these modes, to enable reducedpower consumption, only essential functions remain active. The device takes longer to produce the first print after it exits the Power Saver modes than it takes to print in Ready mode. This delay is the result of the system waking up and is typical of most imaging devices on the market.
To save power, you can enable Auto Power Off mode on your device. If Auto Power Off mode is enabled, you can configure the mode as follows: mode and Sleep mode timeouts have elapsed.
elapsed. The device also powers off if Fax, USB Drive, and Wired and Non-Wired Network have not been activated.
To change the Power Saver settings, refer to the User Guide at www.xerox.com/office/VLC500docs . For further assistance, contact your System Administrator or refer to the System Administrator Guide .
To enable Auto Power Off mode, contact your System Administrator. For details, refer to the System Administrator
Guide at www.xerox.com/office/VLC500docs .
To learn more about Xerox participation in sustainability initiatives, go to: www.xerox.com/environment .
Note: Changing the default Power Saver activation times can result in an overall higher energy consumption of the device. Before you turn off Power Saver modes or set a long activation time, consider the increase in device power consumption.
192 Xerox ® VersaLink ® C500 Color Printer User Guide
Default Power Saver Settings
This device is ENERGY STAR ® -qualified under the ENERGY STAR Program Requirements for Imaging Equipment. The transition time from Ready mode to Low-Power mode can be set up to 60 minutes. The default value is 5 minutes.
