refer to the Supported Papers section of the Trays and Paper Guide on the Interactive Documentation
CD-ROM or print the Paper Tips page from the printer’s front panel.

Automatic 2-sided printing

To have the printer do automatic 2-sided printing (duplexing):

■ The printer must be either a Phaser 6200 DP or Phaser 6200 DX model.

■ The paper must be loaded in a tray. The printer will NOT do automatic 2-sided printing on paper

loaded in the Multi-Purpose Tray.

■ Any supported paper size that is supported in the tray can be duplexed. Any supported paper type

(Plain Paper, Heavy Plain Paper, Letterhead, or Special) that can be loaded in the tray can be
duplexed.

■ The paper must have a weight of 75-105 g/m

2

(20 - 28 lb. bond).

Caution

DO NOT use any specialty media (such as glossy coated paper), envelopes, or labels for
2-sided printing. Any damage caused by duplexing specialty media may not be covered
under your printer warranty.

For best results with automatic 2-sided printing, do not use heavy toner coverage on the even-numbered
pages of your print job.

When you print any job, you can use the printer driver to select the orientation of the images on the
page: Portrait or Landscape. When you print 2-sided jobs, you also select the binding preference,
which determines how the pages turn; refer to the table on page 12 for the wording used in the printer
drivers for binding preference.

To do automatic 2-sided printing:

1. Insert a stack of paper into the tray. For more information, refer to the Trays section of the

Trays and Paper Guide on the Interactive Documentation CD-ROM. Place the side to be
printed with the odd-numbered pages facedown with the top of the page at the back of the tray. If
using paper with pre-punched holes, place the holes toward the right side of the tray.

2. In the printer driver:

■ Select the tray containing the paper.

■ Select the orientation.

■ Select 2-sided printing, as described in the following table.

3. Send the job to the printer.

Manual 2-sided printing

If the printer doesn’t have a duplex unit, you can still have the printer print on both sides of the paper.
However, you must have the printer print all of the odd-numbered pages first, reinsert the printed pages
in the tray, then have the printer print the even-numbered pages.

You can use Trays 1-3 or the Multi-Purpose Tray for manual 2-sided printing.

Paper specifics

■ When using the Multi-Purpose Tray, the paper must have a weight of 75 - 216 g/m

2

(20 - 58 lb.

bond).

■ When using the trays, the paper must have a weight of 75 - 105 g/m

2

(20 - 28 lb. bond).

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

2

(24 lb. bond) paper.

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

■ For best results, do not use heavy toner coverage on side 1 of a manual 2-sided print. Increase the

top margin on side 1 to at least 12 mm (0.48 in.).

■ Print quality may be degraded on the second side of manual 2-sided prints.

Transparencies

Transparencies can be printed from Tray 1 or the Multi-Purpose Tray. Handle transparencies by the
edges and with both hands to avoid fingerprints and creases, which can cause poor print quality.

Xerox Phaser® 6200 Transparencies

Xerox recommends that you use Phaser® 6200 Transparencies, which have been specifically developed
for use with this type of printer fuser.

To order supplies and accessories, contact your local reseller or visit the Xerox web site at:

www.xerox.com/officeprinting/6200supplies

Using non-Phaser 6200 transparency film

The printer features a unique oil-less fuser. Phaser 6200 Transparency film is designed specifically to
work with the printer's fuser. If you want to use non-Phaser 6200 transparency film, you must use a film
that meets the following specifications:

■ Compatible with oil-less fuser systems

■ Fusing temperature: 178 degrees C

■ Electrical surface resistivity: greater than 7 x 10exp11 ohm/square

Any overhead transparency materials used with this printer must be compatible with the heat and
pressure of the oil-less fusing process. The materials must not discolor, melt, offset, or release
hazardous emissions when heated to 178 degress C for 0.2 seconds.

Overhead transparency materials that do not meet these specifications can produce poor image quality,
produce a jam in the printer, wrap around the fuser rollers and even melt on the fuser rollers. Some
non-Phaser 6200 transparencies have paper tape on the edge that can separate in the heat of the fuser,
leading to damage. Using non-Phaser 6200 transparencies may damage the fuser. Damage caused by
using non-Phaser 6200 transparencies is not covered under the warranty, service agreement, or Total
Satisfaction Guarantee.

Videos are available with instructions for loading transparencies. Videos are located on the

Interactive Documentation CD-ROM and on the Xerox web site at:

Envelopes

Guidelines for envelope printing

■ Envelopes can only be printed from the Multi-Purpose Tray.

■ Use only paper envelopes.

■ Do not print on the back of the envelope.

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

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

■ Many applications include a tool for creating an envelope document. For example, Microsoft

Word includes an Envelopes and Labels feature in the Tools menu. Be sure to:

■ 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.

■ Envelopes may wrinkle depending on the weight and stiffness of the envelope. Envelopes

with short flaps work best; longer flaps are more likely to wrinkle.

Caution

Never use envelopes with windows or metal clasps; they can damage the printer. Damage
caused by using unsupported envelopes is not covered by your printer’s warranty.

Printing envelopes

1. Insert the envelopes short-edge feed into the Multi-Purpose Tray. For more information, refer to

the Trays section of the Trays and Paper Guide on the Interactive Documentation CD-ROM.

■ Place envelopes with the flap side up and top of the envelope towards the right of the printer.

(For A7 envelopes, place the flap side up but have the top of the envelope enter the printer
first.)

■ Maximum capacity is 10 envelopes.

4. Make a test print from your application to confirm that the orientation of your envelope is correct.

Note

The heat from the printing process can melt certain types of envelope glue. If the envelope
flap sticks shut after printing the test print, tuck the flaps inside the envelopes when printing
the remaining envelopes.

Labels, Business Cards, Greeting Cards,
CD/DVD Inserts, and CD/DVD Labels

Labels, business cards, greeting cards, CD/DVD inserts, and CD/DVD labels can only be printed from
the Multi-Purpose Tray. The number of sheets that can be loaded depends on the item.

Refer to the Supplies section of the Support Guide on the Interactive Documentation CD-ROM for
information on part numbers for ordering these items. To order supplies and accessories, contact your
local reseller or visit the Xerox web site at: www.xerox.com/officeprinting/6200supplies

Guidelines

■ Do not use vinyl labels.

■ If any of the labels, cards, or inserts on a sheet are missing, do not use that sheet; it may

damage printer components.

■ Store unused labels, cards, and inserts flat in their original packages.

■ Do not store labels, cards, or inserts in extremely dry or humid conditions or extremely hot or

cold conditions. Storing them in extreme conditions may cause them to jam in the printer or
cause print quality problems.

■ Rotate stock frequently. Long periods of storage in extreme conditions can cause the labels,

cards, and inserts to curl and jam the printer.

■ Print only on one side of the sheet of labels and inserts.
