System startup

When powering up your Xerox Color 550/560 Printer system (both print engine and server), the print

engine must be turned on first. This ensures that the print engine and server will synchronize

correctly.

Support

Software and hardware support of your print server may vary in regions. Refer to the Terms and

Conditions for definitions for software and/or hardware support.

Surge Protection

Xerox recommends protecting the Creo CXPrint Server from surges or spikes in electrical power that

can damage the server and result in extended downtime. In areas that tend to experience

brownouts or blackouts with more frequency, installation of an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)

is suggested. This protection is the responsibility of the customer. It is not recommended to have a

UPS with software installed. The additional introduction of the software is untested and verified by

Xerox.

A surge protector is strongly recommended for the network controller installation. This should be

provided by the customer.
