How to print a configuration print on the 6204

On occasion an owner or operator of a Xerox 6204 wide format copier and scanner may want to print out the configuration print.  The configuration print will provide a wealth of information about the machine that is just not easily visible on the display.  Before you start the steps below you need to determine if your 6204  a basic print server( BPS) or an Acxess print server (APS).  To find out which type 6204 your have look on the right end of the the printer,  if there is a small black Dell computer connected you have an APS 6204.  If you see no external Dell computer connected to you operational 6204 you have a BPS machine.   Sorry but BPS models cannot print a configuration print because they were designed to use the older Fuji embedded controller.  If you have an APS 6204 move on to step one.


Step 1.  When your 6204 says "Ready" on the display find the Machine status button on the key pad and press it.

Step 2  You should see the Machine status window now.  Find the configuration print icon and tap it once.

Step 3 You should now see the Configuration prints window now.  Find the Printer configuration icon and tap it once.

Step 4 You should now see the Printer configuration icon highlighted. Find the Print icon at the top right of the display and tap it once.

Step 5  You should now hear the Configuration print being printed.  Once it has printed find the Menu button at the bottom of the display and press it once to bring the display back to the start menu where you should see "Ready" again.

Step 6  You should have a configuration print that looks similar to the one below.  We will cover what all the information on the configuration print means in a future blog.

We are just scratching the surface today regarding what you as the operator can do with your Xerox 6204.  In a future blog we will also cover how to do this same operation on the other Xerox printers as well as the KIP and HP wide format printers.    Leave a comment if you like.  If you have a problem with this operation and would like some help you can say that in the comments or you can email me from my profile.  Thanks for coming by.
