Selecting Print Media
Selecting Print Media
One of the most important things you can do to assure the best
possible print quality from your printer is to select the correct paper.
Your printer produces letter quality output on most plain bond
papers, including cotton bond and photocopying papers; it does not
require special papers. However, the print quality varies with
different paper types. Be sure to test a small quantity of paper
before you purchase a large quantity.

Selecting Print Media
Basic Guidelines
When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other special media,
keep these guidelines in mind:
• Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper can
cause paper jams and poor print quality.
• Use cut-sheet paper only. You cannot use multipart paper.
• Use only high quality, copier grade paper. Avoid paper with
embossed lettering, perforations, or texture that is too smooth or
too rough.
• Colored paper should be of the same high quality as white
photocopy paper. The pigments must withstand the printer’s
fusing temperature of 400
o
F (205oC) for 0.1 second without
deterioration. Do not use paper with a colored coating that was
added after the paper was produced.
• Preprinted forms must be printed with nonflammable,
heat-resistant inks that do not melt, vaporize, or release
hazardous emissions when subject to the printer’s
approximately 400
o
F (205oC) fusing temperature for 0.1
second.
• Store paper in its ream wrapper until ready to use. Place cartons
on pallets or shelves, not on the floor. Do not place heavy
objects on top of the paper, whether it is packaged or
unpackaged. Keep it away from moisture, or other conditions
that can cause it to wrinkle or curl.

Manual Feed source is used when printing on special media. The
default Auto Continue value of the printer is 15 seconds, meaning
that the printer will wait up to 15 seconds for you to press the
control panel button before printing. Afterwards the printer will
attempt to print from whatever paper source is available. If the
paper source is set to Auto Select, the printer automatically selects
the print material according to the following priority: MP Tray,
Tray 1, Tray 2.
If Reverse Print Order is selected, the job will be printed in
reverse order, i.e. the last page printed is the first page of the
document.
The Images per Sheet feature will print multiple pages of an
electronic document onto one physical sheet. The driver has the
following selections for this feature:
1-Up, 2-Up, 4-Up, 6-Up, 9-Up, 16-Up
For example, if you have a four-page electronic document and you
select Images per Sheet to be 2-Up, each physical sheet printed will
contain 2 electronic pages per sheet.

Using Printer Utilities
CONFIG
Use this tab to control the following printer features:
• Power Save determines the length of time the printer waits after
a job is printed before it goes to a reduced power state. If the
printer is used frequently, select OFF which keeps the printer
ready to print with the minimum warm-up time. This uses more
electricity to keep the printer warm and ready to print.
• Econo Mode determines the toner quantity the printer should
use when printing. If set to ON, the printer conserves toner
when printing. The default value is OFF, which provides 100%
usage
• Auto Continue determines what action the printer should take
when a manual feed print job is sent to the printer and there is
no paper in the MP Tray. If set to ON, the printer will pick up
the paper from Tray 1 after ten seconds. Otherwise, the printer
will wait for you to load paper in the MP Tray.
• Altitude helps the printer optimize its output depending on the
air pressure of the region. If you are close to sea level, it should
be set to “Low.” If at a high elevation (1,500 m / 5,000 ft or
higher), set it to “High.”

• Jam Recovery determines what action the printer should take
when a paper jam occurs. When set to OFF, the printer does not
reprint a page that has jammed. When set to ON, the printer
keeps the image in memory for a printed page until the printer
signals that the page has successfully printed. The printer
reprints all jammed pages.

• Baud rate (bps) sets the rate at which data is being sent to or
from the computer.
• Robust XON sets XON/XOFF pacing (if the handshaking
protocol uses XON/XOFF pacing). When set to ON, the printer
sends a continuous stream of XONs to the host computer to
indicate that the serial port is ready to receive more data. An
XON is sent every second as long as no data is received across
the serial port in the last second, the last XON is accepted by the
host computer, and the printer is ready to receive data from the
serial port.

Introduction
Your DocuPrint P1202 is a full-featured laser printer that has been
optimized to meet most of your printing needs. Recognizing that
each user may have different requirements, however, Xerox makes
several options available to enhance the printer’s capabilities:
• PostScript, which enables your printer to use the PostScript
printing language for text and graphics.
• Serial and LocalTalk ports, which enable your printer to
interface with a Macintosh computer.
• Paper Tray 2, which extends your printer’s paper handling
capacity.
This appendix provides detailed installation instructions for each of
these options.

Precautions
Precautions
DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD:
Never remove the printer control board while
the printer is plugged in.
To avoid the possibility of electrical shock,
always disconnect the power cord when
installing or removing ANY internal or external
printer option.
DISCHARGE STATIC ELECTRICITY:
The control board and internal printer options
(SIMMs, PostScript, Serial/LocalTalk interface) are
sensitive to static electricity. Before installing or
removing an internal option, discharge static
electricity from your body by touching something
metal, such as the metal back plate on any device
plugged into a grounded power source. If you walk
around before finishing the installation, again
discharge any static electricity.
Appendix B: Printer Options

Memory and PostScript SIMMs
Memory and PostScript SIMMs
Additional printer memory and the PostScript option are provided
on SIMMs (single inline memory modules). This procedure is
applicable to either option.
Since PostScript requires 12 MB of printer memory and the
DocuPrint P1202 comes with 4 MB standard, installation of the
PostScript SIMM requires installation of a memory SIMM as well.
Review the precautions on page B-3 and then follow this procedure
to install SIMMs in your computer.
