Copy

Simple Copying
Before making copies on your machine, you need to determine what you want to copy and how many copies you want to make. In this section you will learn the 6 simple steps to follow when making copies:
1. Load the documents
The Document Handler for scanning multiple documents. Up to 250
documents can be scanned at one time using the Document Handler. Ensure the documents are of the same size, in good condition and all staples and paper clips are removed. Load the documents face up with the first page on top with the headings towards the back or left of the machine. Position the guides to just touch the edge of the documents.
The Document Glass for scanning only one original at a time and
suitable f or any type of docum ent up to a maximum size of 11"x17". Place the document face down, align with the top of the registration arrow near the upper left hand corner of the document glass. Lower the document handler.
2. Press the Copy button Press the Copy button and select the Basic Copying tab. Pressing the Clear All (AC) button once will cancel any previous screen programming
selections.
3. Select the Features
The features available on the Basic Copying tab are the ones used most often. They allow you to program the standard features for a copy job. On touching the button for the required feature, the button changes to blue. If a More... button is selected additional options for that feature become available.
4. Enter the Quantity
On your machine the maximum copy quantity is 9999. Use the numeric keypad to enter the number of copies. The number entered is displayed in the top right hand corner of the touch screen. To cancel an incorrect entry, press the C button and enter the correct quantity.
5. Press Start
Once you have pressed Start, each document is scanned once. A screen is displayed showing information about your copy job.

Loading Documents
Using the Document Handler
The Document Handler will accept most types of documents. They must be loose leaf, of normal thickness, between 8.5" x 5.5" and 11" x 17" in size and in good condition.
The document input tray can take up to 250 documents at a time. If your document has more than 250 pages then use the L arge Volume Document feature on the Job Assembly tab. As a general rule, load your documents face up in the same orientation as the copy paper. However, if this is not possible the machine will automatically rotate the image for you.
The machine will detect the size of the documents, this means that you can either:
1. Select Auto% Reduce/Enlarge and a specific copy paper size. The image will be modified to fit the selected paper or
2. Select a specific Reduce/Enlarge ratio and Auto Paper Supply. The machine will select the same size of paper. When you press the START button the document will be scanned once only and stored in memory. If the document is 2-sided, the Document Handler will automatically turn it over so that both sides are scanned.
Loading Mixed Size Originals
The Document Handler can even feed documents containing different size pages. However, the top left corners of the original documents must be aligned in the document handler.
The mixed size originals feature is switched on by selecting the Scan Options tab, then touching the Mixed Size Originals button.
The machine will detect the size of the documents. This means that you can either:
1. Select Auto% Reduce/Enlarge and a specific copy paper size and the image will be modified to fit the selected paper or
2. Select the 100% Reduce/Enlarge ratio and Auto Paper Supply and the machine will automatically make copies that are the same size as the originals.

Using the Document Glass
The Document Glass can be used to copy most documents but is most frequently used for the more unusual document. Some examples are: bound or stapled documents, any size up to 11" x 17", heavyweight or lightweight, very shiny, glossy, damaged, torn or crumpled document s.
With the exception of bound originals, simply place the document face down on the documen t glass and register it to the left rear corner. Close the document handler.
There are numerous options for copying bound originals that are described in the Bound Originals section later in this section.
The machine can detect the size of the document if it is a standard size. If the document is not a standard size the machine will not know what size it is. This does not matter if you select a specific reduction/enlargement and also select a specific paper tray. However, you can tell the machine the size of the document if you want to use the Auto features.
To input the size of the document select the Scan Options tab and the Original Size button.
The Original Size screen allows you to select a standard paper size from the options shown. You can also select the Auto Size Detect option, which enables automatic detection of scanned paper sizes. When you have input the size of your document, you can use the auto reduce/enlarge or the auto paper supply features. So, for example, you can auto enlarge your document to fit a specific size of paper.

The machine can detect the size of the document if it is a standard size. If the document is not a standard size, the machine will not know what size it is. This does not matter if you select a specific reduction/enlargement and also select a specific paper tray. However, you can tell the machine the size of the document if you want to use the Auto features. To input the size of the document select the Scan Options tab and the Original Size button.
The Original Size screen is shown below.
On this screen you can either select a standard paper size from the options shown, or input a non-standard (custom) size. You can also select the Auto Size Detect option, which enables automatic detection of scanned paper sizes.
When you have input the size of your document, you can use the auto reduce/enlarge or the auto paper supply features. So, for example, you can auto enlarge your document to fit a specific size of paper.

Print

Introduction
Your Xerox printer will produce high quality prints from your electronic documents. However, the advanced print features of this machine will enable you to create professionally finished documents at the click of a mouse button. For example you can:
Publish your prints as booklets
Put covers onto your prints
Automatically staple or Hole Punch
Produce sets of transparencies with dividers ready for a presentation
and many more features that will take the strain out of printing.
You access the printer from your PC application in the normal way through a print driver. A print driver converts the code contained in an electronic document into a language that the printer can understand. While you can use generic print drivers on this printer they will not enable all the features. This is why you should use the print drivers that accompany this printer.
The Properties of the print driver enable you to select all the options you want to apply to your document. It is your "remote control panel" for the printer.

Print Drivers
There are numerous print drivers for this printer to enable it to be used on all the popular computer operating systems. You can download the latest print drivers from the Xerox website at www.xerox.com.
For Windows users there are around 20 different drivers. Your System Administrator may have loaded specific drivers on your PC. However, if the choice of driver is yours, the following information will help you decide which driver is most suited to your workstation.
PCL
PCL drivers make smaller print files than postscript drivers because they use fonts that are embedded in the machine. Therefore printing is faster. On occasion, this may cause problems with fonts.
PostScript
PostScript drivers enable image scaling and other types of image manipulation, options for printing graphics and font substitution. However, the print files are large and take longer to process. PostScript drivers also provide font substitution options.
Once you have decided upon the most appropriate print driver, install it on your workstation in the usual way. If you do not know how to install drivers, consult your System Administrator.
NOTE: You can load more than one print driver for the printer on your
workstation. Then, when you send a job to print, you can choose the most appropriate print driver for the job.
Help is available on the print drivers through a Help button and the context sensitive "What's This" indicated by the question mark (?) symbol.
When you press the Help button a menu is displayed containing the titles of the options available on that tab. Select the option that you want to learn about and a pop-up window will appear explaining the feature in detail.
To display context sensitive help click on the ? symbol. The ? symbol will attach itself to your cursor. When you then click on the area of the screen you want to learn about a pop-up window will appear containing information about that feature.

2. Select the Xerox DocuColor 240/250 print driver from the Printer - Name drop down menu. If you do not know which one to choose ask your System Administrator. It may have been renamed.
3. Click on the Properties button. The driver properties window will be displayed.
4. Use both the Help button and the ? help symbol to locate information. Try them out on various tabs in the properties window.
