Paper Tray and Type
You must specify paper type and tray prior to printing. Otherwise, the printer will default to letter-sized, plain paper.
- Choose the color printer (Xerox- Color and Grayscale)
- Select the number of copies you would like (if any)
- (Optional) Select double-sided print if desired.
- Ensure that the settings are the same in Xerox Features
- Select paper size
- Select scale
- Scale allows you to choose what percentage to scale your image (100% being the original image size)
- Scale to Fit will resize your image to fit onto the paper size.
- Open Printer Options and click Xerox Features
- IMPORTANT: this step will determine if your print goes to the correct paper tray.
- Choose "white" as your paper color
- Choose "Plain" for paper and "Cardstock" for cardstock. The printer will then pick the correct tray containing the media type you wish to print.
- Check your settings for the "Xerox Black and White" option
- Choosing "Off (Use Document Color)" will result in your project printing color.
- Choosing "On" will result in your project in black and white.
