The Xerox 4213 laser printer meets the requirements of EN55022
Class B.
WARNING: Use of controls, adjustments or performance of
procedures other than those specified herein may result in a
hazardous radiation exposure.
This product will produce ozone during normal operation. The
ozone produced is dependent on copy volume and is heavier
than air. Providing the proper environmental parameters as
specified in Xerox installation procedures will ensure that
concentration levels meet safe limits.
The 4213 has an ozone filter built into the print cartridge.

Introduction
The 4213 Laser Printer User Guide identifies the requirements for
installation and discusses printing preparations and procedures,
with examples for those procedures. It provides information on
configuring your printer to suit your individual environment.
Conventions used in this guide
Conventions used in this guide are as follows:
•WARNING: Warnings are associated with the safety of
people.
•Caution: Cautions are associated with equipment safety.
•Note designates important information that should be noted
before performing an operation or procedure.
•Keys pressed on the keyboard are shown by the applicable
symbol:
—AMenu
—B Test
—C Last Page
—D Select
—H Online
—G Reset buttons.
•Names of display screens and menus are shown in initial
capitals (for example, Main Menu).
•The terms 4213, printer, and 4213 laser printer are
interchangeable.
•The message display items are shown in all uppercase letters.
•Titles of books and related publications are italicised.
XEROX 4213 LASER PRINTER USER GUIDE xv

INTRODUCTION
•The symbol points to actions and options that do not have
numbers available within the Main Menu and submenu maps.
•In the index, the use of the lowercase “i” denotes an
illustration, the lowercase “f” means a figure and the
lowercase “t ”refers to a table.
Variances
The following differences exist between the 4213 and 4045
Model 150 laser printers:
•Pages may break differently on the two printers.
•To match rotation on the 4213, the 4045 must have an
XGRAPH cartridge installed.
•Set the page buffer to “FULL” to correctly print complex
pages.
•In XES mode, the underline character prints at the baseline
on the 4045; on the 4213, this prints under the character
descender.

1. Installation
This chapter identifies the requirements for installation. The
following material is discussed:
•Installation requirements
•Checklist for contents
•Installation procedures
•Power up.
Installation planning
To help you determine the best possible location for your new
4213 laser printer, this section contains information on the
following topics:
•Environmental conditions
•Space requirements
•Power requirements.
Environmental conditions
Your printer has certain environmental requirements you must
accommodate. These requirements, as well as environmental
conditions you should avoid, are listed in this section.
Operating environment
Consider the required operating environment listed below when
planning the location of your printer. Your printer operates more
efficiently when the following environmental conditions are
maintained:
Temperature 10oC to 32oC (50°F to 90°F)
Humidity 15 to 85% relative humidity
Altitude Up to 6,560 feet above sea level (2000 metres).
XEROX 4213 LASER PRINTER USER GUIDE 1-1

INSTALLATION
Environmental conditions to avoid
You should avoid the following environmental conditions as you
plan the location of your printer:
•Direct sunlight
•Rapid temperature changes
•Direct air flow
•Heat-emitting devices
•High temperature or humidity
•Dust dirt, or poor ventilation
•Volatile gas or liquids
General cautions
•Do not put anything on the printer, such as: a flower vase, or
a filled cup or glass. Water inside the printer unit not only
results in malfunction, but also causes damage to the printer.
•Do not drop paper clips or staples inside the printer unit.
This can cause a short-circuit or malfunction.
•Do not apply mechanical shocks to the printer.
•Do not use flammable aerosol products near the printer.
•Do not disassemble or modify the printer
•Never open covers which you are not intended to open.
•Make sure the area is well ventilated, if the location of the
printer is in a closed or crowded room.
•Turn off the power and unplug the power cable immediately
in you perceive smoke or an abnormal sound or odour.
Cautions while printing
•While printing, do not turn off the power or open the top
cover or any of the doors. A paper jam or malfunction will
occur.
1-2 XEROX 4213 LASER PRINTER USER GUIDE

INSTALLATION
Cautions for maintenance and inspection
For your personal safety, you should always keep the following
cautions and directions in mind when you perform normal printer
maintenance:
•There are high voltage areas and high temperature areas
inside the printer.
•See chapter 5, “Care and maintenance,” for paper jam
clearance, maintenance and inspection of the printer, and
replacement of consumable supplies.
•Do not perform any operation other than those stated in this
manual. Any modification to the printer can cause a
malfunction or damage.
Cautions for the power cord
For your personal safety, you should always keep in mind the
following cautions and directions when handling the power cord:
•Before you plug in or unplug the cord, turn off the printer
power.
•To plug in or unplug the cord, hold the plug instead of the
cord.
WARNING: Do not touch the plug, connector, or cord with
wet hands.
•Periodically check that the following situations are stable:
— The power cord is plugged firmly into the AC outlet and
the AC inlet on the printer.
— The power cord generates no abnormal heat.
— The power cord has no worn places.
Space requirements
Allow enough open space around the printer to make operation,
supply replacement, and maintenance possible.
