Before you print, ensure that your computer and the printer are plugged in, powered on, and
connected. Configure the initial settings of the printer, then install the print driver software and
utilities on your computer.
You can connect to your printer directly from your computer using USB, or connect to a network using
an Ethernet cable or wireless connection. Hardware and cabling requirements vary for the different
connection methods. Routers, network hubs and switches, modems, Ethernet cables, and USB cables
are not included with your printer and must be purchased separately. Xerox recommends an Ethernet
connection because it is typically faster than a USB connection, and it provides access to the
Embedded Web Server.

Connecting the Printer
SSeelleeccttiinngg aa CCoonnnneeccttiioonn MMeetthhoodd
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.
USB
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.
Network
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.
Wireless Network
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.
CCoonnnneeccttiinngg ttoo aa CCoommppuutteerr UUssiinngg UUSSBB
To connect using USB, you need one of these operating systems:
• Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2008, Windows 10, Windows Server 2008 R2, and
Windows Server 2012.
• Macintosh OS X version 10.10 and later.
• UNIX and Linux: Your printer supports connection to various UNIX platforms through the network
interface.
To connect the printer to the computer using a USB cable:
1. Connect the Bend of a standard A/B USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 cable to the USB Port on the back of the
printer.

Paper and Media
• 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.

General Precautions
Caution: Do not expose the drum cartridge to direct sunlight or strong indoor fluorescent
lighting. Do not touch or scratch the surface of the drum.
Caution: 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.
WARNING: Keep all cleaning materials out of the reach of children.
WARNING: 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.
WARNING: 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.
WARNING: Internal parts of the printer can be hot. Use caution when doors and covers are
open.
• 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-lit places. Light
exposure can damage the drum cartridge.
• 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.

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.
Caution: 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.
CClleeaanniinngg tthhee IInntteerriioorr
Clean the interior of the printer regularly to prevent stains inside the printer that can deteriorate print
quality. 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. For details, refer to Clearing Paper Jams.
• Remove any dust or stains with a clean, dry, lint-free cloth.
WARNING: 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

Paper Jams
LLooccaattiinngg PPaappeerr JJaammss
WARNING: 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 jam after the printer has cooled. If the error persists, contact your Xerox
representative.
Caution: Do not attempt to clear any paper jams using tools or instruments. This can
permanently damage the printer.
The following illustration shows where paper jams can occur along the paper path:
1. Optional Trays 2, 3, and 4
2. Fuser
3. Bypass Tray
4. Tray 1
MMiinniimmiizziinngg PPaappeerr JJaammss
The printer is designed to function with minimal paper jams using Xerox supported paper. Other
paper types can cause jams. If supported paper is jamming frequently in one area, clean that area of
the paper path.
The following can cause paper jams:
• Selecting the incorrect paper type in the print driver.
• Using damaged paper.
• Using unsupported paper.
• Loading paper incorrectly.
Xerox®VersaLink®B400 Printer

Troubleshooting
• Overfilling the tray.
• Adjusting the paper guides improperly.
Most jams can be prevented by following a simple set of rules:
• Use only supported paper.
• Follow proper paper handling and loading techniques.
• Always use clean, undamaged paper.
• Avoid paper that is curled, torn, moist, creased, or folded.
• To separate the sheets before loading into the tray, fan the paper.
• Observe the paper tray fill line; never overfill the tray.
• Adjust the paper guides in all trays after inserting the paper. A guide that is not properly adjusted
can cause poor print quality, misfeeds, skewed prints, and printer damage.
• After loading the tray, at the control panel, select the correct paper type and size.
• When printing, select the correct type and size in the print driver.
• Store paper in a dry location.
Avoid the following:
• Polyester coated paper that is designed especially for inkjet printers.
• Paper that is folded, wrinkled, or excessively curled.
• Loading more than one type, size, or weight of paper in a tray at the same time.
• Overfilling the tray.
• Allowing the output tray to overfill.

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 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, and 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 long-term changes
to the climate by decreasing the emissions that result from
generating electricity.
For additional information on energy or other related topics, go to www.xerox.com/environment or
www.xerox.com/environment_europe.
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 reduced-power 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:
•Always Allowed: The device powers off automatically after the specified time, and the cumulative
Low Power mode and Sleep mode timeouts have elapsed.
•Allowed ONLY When Conditions are Met: The device automatically powers off only after
timeouts have 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/support/VLB400docs.
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/support/VLB400docs.
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.
