Color

Xerox Phaser color printers embody 20 years of printing experience. While different models are optimized for tasks, such as fast, easy, of f ice printing or complex, lar ge format graphic arts applications, all Phaser color printers share important characteristics that contribute to the Xerox reputation for color image quality.

Exceptional color quality starts with the controller. Xerox designs and b uilds the Phaser printer controller. Working in unison with advanced printer driver software, your printer incorporates capabilities, such as custom color tables for color accuracy. The proprietary TekColor correction applies the best color correction mode to each element on the page. This results in bright, vivid colors in solid fill areas, good detail in photographs, and crisp text.

Your printer also uses Adobe PostScript 3 for the most accurate page rendering and image quality. Together, these features combine to give you consistently high-quality results for a broad range of printing needs.

For more information about color and your printer, go to Reference/Printing/Using Color on the User Documentation CD-ROM.

Selecting Tray Settings

Tray Switching

When a tray runs out of paper , tray switchi ng enables the printer to switch between trays when the trays contain the same paper type and size. Tray switching is controlled by the printer driver, front panel, or CentreWare IS. If a specific tray is selected, tray switching is turned off. Select the Let printer select which tray to print from option in the printer driver to ha ve the printer select the tray from which to draw paper.

Note

If you use the printer driver to specify a tray to use for your print job, tray switching is disabled for that job. If the tray becomes empty during printing, the front panel prompts you to load paper in that tray even if another tray contains the correct paper type and size for the job.

Tray 1 (MPT) and Tray 2, a 500-she et adjustable tray, are standard with the Phaser 7750 printers. Additional paper feeders can be purchased:

■ 1500-Sheet Lower Tray Deck (Trays 3, 4, and 5)

■ 2500-Sheet High-Capacity Feeder (Trays 3, 4, and 5)

Tray Switching Settings

■ If tray switching is enabled, and a tray runs out of paper while printing, then the printer

selects another tray containing the same paper type, size, and orientation to continue printing the job.

■ If tray switching is disabled, and a tray runs out of paper while printing, then the front

panel prompts you that the tray is empty and must be refilled.

Tray Sequence

You can specify the sequence the printer uses to select trays containing the correct paper type and size for a print job. When a tray runs out of the correct paper during printing, the printer selects the next tray in the sequence containing the correct paper type and size to continue printing the job.

For example, if the tray sequence is set to 4-3-2, the printer selects paper from T ray 4 to print a job. If Tray 4 does not contain the requested paper, or runs out of paper while printing, the printer selects Tray 3. If neither Tray 4 nor Tray 3 contains the requested paper, or is out of paper, then Tray 2 is selected.

You can specify the tray sequence by two different methods:

■ The printer’s front panel

■ CentreWare IS

■ None: No job offsetting occurs and the output position is not changed for the output tray

selected.

■ With End of Job: The output position changes after the final sheet of the print job is

printed. The next print job is then offset to keep it separate from the previous print job.

■ With End of Set

■ With Collat ion Off: The job offset position changes after all copies of each sheet (one

page with single-sided printing, two pages with 2-sided printing) are printed.

■ With Collation On: The job offset position changes after each copy of all sheets in the

job is printed.

Note

When the stapling option is used for print jobs, job offsetting is activated.

Changing Paper

The paper trays adjust to accommodate most sizes and types of paper, transparencies, or other specialty media. For best results, use only Xerox Phaser Color Printing Media specified for this printer. They are guaranteed to produce excellent results on your Phaser 7750 Printer – the Phaser 7750 and Phaser media are Made for Each Other. See “Basic Printing” later in this section for instructions on how to load paper in the trays.

Caution

If you change the type or size of paper in a tray, you must change the paper type and size on the front panel to match the paper that you loaded. If you fail to do this, print-quality problems or jams can occur, and the fuser can be damaged.

Guidelines

After loading a tray and adjusting the paper guides, set the correct paper type and size at the printer’s front panel.

■ Do not overload the paper tray. See the tray label for the fill line.

■ Fan paper, transparencies, or other specialty media before loading in the paper tray.

■ If excessive jams occur, use fresh paper, transparencies, or other specialty media from a

new package.

Caution

Damage caused by using unsupported paper, transparencies, and other specialty media is not covered by the Xerox warranty, service agreement, or Total Satisfaction Guarantee. The Total Satisfaction Guarantee is available in the United States and Canada. Coverage may vary outside these areas; please contact your local representative for details.

Note

For optimal print quality and performance, set the correct paper type at the printer's front panel after loading paper in any tray. When loading paper in Tray 1 (MPT) or Tray 2, also set the correct paper size.

Paper Storage Guidelines

Providing a good environment, and safe handling and storage conditions for your paper, contributes to ultimate print quality.

■ Store paper in dark, cool, relatively dry locations. Most paper items are susceptible to

damage from ultraviolet (UV) and visible light. UV radiation, which is emitted by the sun and fluorescent bulbs, is particularly damaging to paper items. The intensity and length of exposure to visible light on paper items should be reduced as much as possible.

■ It is recommended that you maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity.

■ Avoid light, heat, and dampness.

■ A v oid attics, kitchens, garages, and basements for storing paper. Inside walls are drier th an

outside walls where moisture can collect.

■ Store paper flat. Paper should be stored on pallets, cartons, shelves, or in cabinets.

■ Avoid having food or drinks in the area where paper is stored or handled.

■ Do not open sealed packages of paper until you are ready to load them into the printer.

Leave paper in the original packaging, and leave the packages in the shipping carton. For most commercial cut-size grades, the ream wrapper contains an inner lining that protects the paper from moisture loss or gain.

Phaser media is sold with appropriate packaging to prevent transportation problems and to promote positive cust omer results. Lea ve the media inside the packaging until you are ready to use it; reinsert unused media in the original packaging and reseal it for protection.

Paper that May Damage Your Printer

Your printer is designed to be used with a variety of paper types. For more information about supported papers, go to Reference/Printing/Supported Papers on the User Documentation CD- ROM.

Other media types can cause poor print quality, increased paper jams, or damage to your printer.

Following are examples of unacceptable paper:

■ Rough or porous media

■ Paper that has been photocopied

■ Multipart forms

■ Paper with cutouts or perforations

■ Paper with staples inserted

■ Embossed, coated, or pre-printed paper with heat tolerances below 210° C (322° F)

■ Media that melts, offsets or discolors at temperatures less than 210° C (322° F) for

0.2 seconds.

Phaser papers have better cut quality, thus reducing dust and preventing potential contamination. Using paper free of contaminants helps guarantee longer component life and better print quality. Paper with better cut quality will also reduce paper jams and misfeeds.

Using the Stapler

The optional Finisher can staple up to 50 sheets of paper. Once the print job is stapled, it is delivered to the Finisher Output Tray. The stapler holds 5000 staples.

Note

The printer cannot staple paper fed from Tray 1 (MPT).

■ If output sheets are sent to the stapler unit, but the sheet count exceeds 50, the sheets are

sent to the Finisher Output Tray without being stapled. Further sheets then bypass the stapler unit, going directly into the Finisher Output Tray.

■ If output sheets are sent to the stapler unit and then the paper type changes during the job

to an unsupported paper type, stapling is turned off and any sheets in the stapler unit are sent to the Finisher Output Tray. Unsupported paper types then bypass the stapler unit, going directly into the Top Output Tray.

■ If stapling is on and you are printing multiple copies, check the Collate box, otherwise all

the copies of each page are stapled instead of each set of copies.

■ When the stapler is empty, the front panel notifies you that the staple cartridge is either

empty or missing. Printing continues with pages being delivered to the Finisher Output Tray without being stapled.

■ If you select stapling in the printer driver, the output is always sent to the Finisher Output

Tray even if you select the Top Output Tray for paper destination.

Stapling Options

Several stapling options are available:

■ None: This is the default option. When selected, prints are not stapled.

■ Front: Inserts one staple in each set of copies. (See the following table.)

■ Rear: Inserts one staple in each set of copies. (See the following table.)

■ Dual: Inserts two staples in each set of copies. (See the following table.)

To select a stapling option in a supported driver:

■ Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003,

Windows NT PostScript driver: On the Output/Options tab, select an option from the Stapling drop-down list, then select

Finisher Output Tray from the Paper Destination drop-down list.

■ Mac OS 9 driver:

In the Print dialog box, select Finishing Options from the drop-do wn list, then select one of the stapling options displayed.

■ Mac OS X (version 10.1 and higher) driver:

Printers and CMYK

Your printer and monitor generate color quite differently. Your printer produces prints using a series of dots in three primary colors: cyan, magenta, and yellow. When equal amounts of these three colors are overlaid, the resulting color is black.

The printer can overlay two colors to produce a third color. For example, magenta and yellow produce red. Cyan and magenta produce blue. To produce less saturated colors the printer “mixes” white by leaving some dots unprinted. Mixing magenta with unprinted dots p r odu ces pink.

By overlaying two or more primaries, the printer generates a palette of eight colors. Although equal portions of the three primary colors form black, your printer includes a separate black toner cartridge to produce very dense black for images with a large amount of black text or black backgrounds. These four colors—cyan, magenta, yellow, and black—represent the color system known as CMYK.

Monitors and RGB

Your monitor projects color onto the screen. The three primary colors the monitor projects are red, green, and blue. When equal portions of these three colors are projected, they produce white. These three colors represent the color system known as RGB.

The surface of your monitor consists of thousands of phosphor dots. To produce red, the monitor projects red phosphors. To produce a less saturated hue of red (pink) the monitor turns on two out of three of the red phosphors. Printers add unprinted white dots to produce less saturated colors, while monitors turn on fewer phosphors.

Another important difference between your printer and monitor is the way each one tran s lates light. Paper reflects light, while monitors emit light. Because of these different methods, printers have one range of colors and monitors have a different range of colors.

2-35

Using Color

Image Processing

The differences between the way your printer and monitor produce color explain why your printed document can look different from what you see on your screen. To compensate for

these differences, the colors are converted by your printer using image processing. Image processing is the process of translating your computer file into printer toner. Your printer uses TekColor Correction to translate color from your computer to your printer.

Adjusting Color Using TekColor Correction

The TekColor correction options provide simulations of different color devices. Automatic is the default correction for general image processing. See the following table to determine what option you want to use.

Category TekColor Correction Description

Automatic Applies the best color correction to each graphic

element: text, artwork, and photographs.

Office Color sRGB Display Approximates the colors on a computer display.

sRGB Vivid Produces brighter, more saturated colors than sRGB

Display.

Press Match SWOP Press Matches Specifications for Web Offset Publications.

Euroscale Matches FOGRA glossy paper specification. Commercial Approximates U.S. commercial press target. SNAP Press Matches Specifications for Newsprint Advertising

Production.

Japan Color Matches Japan Color 2001 specification. Custom colors Uses a custom color correction developed for your

printer using PhaserMatch software.

None Applies no color correction. Use with other color

management tools, such as ICC (International Color Consortium) profiles, ColorSync, or the Phaser 7750 PANTONE Color Chart.

Color Calibration

Overview

Color calibration procedures adjust the printer for optimal color output. Color settings may need adjustment upon initial printer setup or when toners and imaging units are replaced. There are two procedures: Balance Colors and Lighten/Darken Colors. If a finer adjustment of the primary colors (cyan, magenta, and yellow) is needed, start with the Balance Colors procedure. If the overall image appears either too light or dark, use the Lighten/Darken Colors procedure. For more information on color calibration, print the “Color Calibration” information page from your printer’s front panel.

For more information on color calibration, print the “Color Calibration” information page from your printer’s front panel.

To print the “Color Calibration” pages:

1. At the printer’s front panel, select Printer Setup, then press the OK button.

Manual 2-Sided Printing

Guidelines

If the printer does not have automatic 2-sided printing capability, or you want to print on a paper type that cannot be automatically printed on two sides, print manually on both sides of the paper by following the procedures in this section.

■ Use any tray for manual 2-sided printing.

■ For best opacity and feed reliability, use Plain Paper that is 90 g/m

heavier paper.

■ You must print all the odd-numbered pages first. Reinsert the printed pages in the same

tray from which the odd-numbered pages were taken, then print the even-numbered pages.

■ Do not use heavy toner coverage on side 1 of a manual 2-sided print job.

■ 2-sided printing on specialty paper can shorten the life of printer components.

Envelopes

This topic includes:

■ "Guidelines" on page 2-51

■ "Printing Envelopes" on page 2-52

Guidelines

Buying and Storing Envelopes

■ Use only paper envelopes specified in the Supported Papers table. Successful envelope

printing is highly dependent on the quality and construction of the envelopes. Use envelopes made specifically for laser printers.

■ It is recommended that you maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity.

■ Store unused envelopes in their packaging to avoid the effects of moisture and dryness

which can affect print quality and cause wrinkling. Excessive moisture can cause the envelopes to seal before or during printing.

■ Avoid padded envelopes; purchase envelopes that lie flat on a surface.

■ Remove air “b ubbles” from the envelopes before loading by setting a heavy boo k on top of

the envelopes.

■ If wrinkling or embossing problems occur, use a different brand of envelopes made

specifically for laser printers.

■ For more information, go to Reference/Printing/Supported P apers on the User

Documentation CD-ROM.

Preparing to Print

Follow these guidelines to prevent wrinkling problems:

■ Use only Tray 1 (MPT) to print envelopes.

■ Print only on the front of the envelope.

■ Perform these steps when using an application that includes a tool for creating an envelope

document:

■ Select facedown.

■ Select the feed method with the image centered.

■ Clear Clockwise Rotation.

■ Load a maximum of 10 envelopes at a time. This printer is not designed to handle

high-capacity production envelope printing.

■ Avoid printing over the area where the envelope seams meet.

■ When using commercial flap envelopes with side seams (vs. diagonal seams) verify that

the side seams are cut all the way to the corner of the envelope.

Envelopes

Caution

Never use envelopes with windows or metal clasps; they can damage the printer. Damage caused by using non-Xerox envelopes is not covered under the Xerox warranty, service

agreement, or Total Satisfaction Guarantee. The Total Satisfaction Guarantee is available in the United States and Canada. Coverage may vary outside these areas, please contact your local representative for details.

Printing Envelopes

1. Insert the envelopes in Tray 1 (MPT):

■ Place C4 envelopes short-edge feed in the tray.

■ Place #10, A7, B5, C5, C6, and DL envelopes long-edge feed in the tray.
