Paper Tray and Type

You must specify paper type and tray prior to printing. Otherwise, the printer will default to letter-sized, plain paper.

  1. Choose the color printer (Xerox- Color and Grayscale)
  2. Select the number of copies you would like (if any)
  3. (Optional) Select double-sided print if desired.
    1. Ensure that the settings are the same in Xerox Features
  4. Select paper size
  5. Select scale
    1. Scale allows you to choose what percentage to scale your image (100% being the original image size)
    2. Scale to Fit will resize your image to fit onto the paper size.



  6. Open Printer Options and click Xerox Features



  7. IMPORTANT: this step will determine if your print goes to the correct paper tray.
    1. Choose "white" as your paper color
    2. Choose "Plain" for paper and "Cardstock" for cardstock. The printer will then pick the correct tray containing the media type you wish to print.
  8. Check your settings for the "Xerox Black and White" option
    1. Choosing "Off (Use Document Color)" will result in your project printing color.
    2. Choosing "On" will result in your project in black and white.
  9. Click "OK"



  10. Click on Print
