Helpful Hints
When downloading a Feature Key it may be helpful to open two browsers, one for the Print Services on Web website
from your printer and one for the Xerox Wide Format Coupon Exchange website. With the two browsers open you
may move between the two sites as required until the Feature Key download is complete.
When installing multiple Feature Keys, upload all keys to the controller (printer) before rebooting the system. This
allows you to download all the keys using the same KIK number. If you reboot, a new KIK number will be created and
you will need to obtain the new KIK number, and Feature Keys that have already been created will become invalid. If
this happens, use the procedure in the section entitled Get a Single Replacement Key to download the additional
keys.
