Troubleshooting
Probable Causes
The printer cable is disconnected.
Solutions
If the Status LED does not flash once after you send a print job, check the connection between the printer and the computer.
There is a network-connectivity issue. If the printer is connected to a network: a.
Verify that the Ethernet cable is connected to the printer. b.
On the printer Ethernet connector, verify that the green
LED is On. If not, reseat both ends of the Ethernet cable. c.
Examine the TCP/IP address in the Communication section of the Configuration Report. For details, refer to Printing the Configuration Report
d.
If the TCP/IP address is 0.0.0.0, the printer needs more time to acquire an IP address from the DHCP server.
Wait 2 minutes, then print the Configuration Report again. e.
If the TCP/IP address is unchanged, or begins with 169, contact your network administrator.
Verify that the Wireless Network Adapter is installed and properly configured. For details, refer to Connecting to a Wireless Network

Ensure that the paper type is set properly in the print driver and at the printer control panel. For details, refer to Print Speed.
It takes time for printing to start when the printer is coming out of Power Saver mode.
Determine if a print spooler or a computer sharing the printer is buffering all print jobs and then spooling them to the printer.
Spooling can slow print speeds. To test the speed of the printer, print some information pages such as the Demonstration Print.
For details, refer to Information Pages. If the page prints at the rated speed of the printer, there could be a network or printer installation issue. For more help, contact the system administrator.
Wait. No action needed.

Print-Quality Problems
This section includes:
•
•
•
Your printer is designed to produce consistently high-quality prints. If you observe print-quality problems, use the information in this section to troubleshoot the problem. For more information, go to www.xerox.com/office/VLC7000support .
CAUTION:
The Xerox Warranty, Service Agreement, or Xerox Total Satisfaction Guarantee does not cover damage caused by using unsupported paper or specialty media. The Xerox
Total Satisfaction Guarantee is available in the United States and Canada. Coverage could vary outside these areas. Contact your local Xerox representative for details.
Notes:
• To ensure consistent print quality, the toner cartridges, print cartridges, and drum cartridges for many devices are designed to cease functioning at a predetermined point.
• Grayscale images printed with the composite black setting increment the color pages counter, because color consumables are used. Composite black is the default setting on most devices.
Controlling Print-Quality
Various factors can affect the quality of the output of your printer. For consistent and optimum print quality, use paper designed for your printer, and correctly set the Print-Quality Mode and Color
Adjustments. Follow the guidelines in this section to maintain optimum print quality from your printer.
Temperature and humidity affect the quality of the printed output. The range for optimal print quality is
15–28ºC (59–82ºF) and 20–70% relative humidity. However, print quality can be affected when operating near the limits for both temperature and humidity.

Troubleshooting
Paper and Media
Your printer is designed to use various paper and other media types. Follow the guidelines in this section for the best print quality and to avoid jams:
• Use only Xerox approved paper. For details, refer to Supported Paper
• Use only dry, undamaged paper.
• Ensure the paper type selected in your print driver matches the paper type on which you are printing.
• If you have the same size paper loaded in more than one tray, ensure that the proper tray is selected in the print driver.
• Store your paper and other media properly for optimum print quality. For details, refer to Paper
Storage Guidelines
CAUTIONS:
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
• Paper that has been photocopied
• Paper that has been folded or wrinkled
• Paper with cutouts or perforations
• Stapled paper
• Envelopes with windows, metal clasps, side seams, or adhesives with release strips
• Padded envelopes
• Plastic media
• Transparencies
Solving Print-Quality Problems
When the print quality is poor, to correct the problem, select the closest symptom from the following table, then refer to the corresponding solution. You can also print Support pages to help detect image-quality problems. For details, refer to Information Pages.
If the print quality does not improve after performing the appropriate action, contact your Xerox representative.
Note: To maintain print quality, a warning message appears when the toner level is low or when the drum cartridge is nearing the end of life. When the toner cartridge is empty, or when the drum cartridge has reached end of life, a second message appears. The second message prompts you to replace the expired cartridge. The printer stops printing until you install a new toner cartridge or drum cartridge.
