You will also learn how to handle the Printer Cartridge and paper tray. Please read and perform all the steps in this chapter before you attempt to configure and operate your printer.
PAGE 13
4508-c02.frm Page 3 Thursday, June 6, 1996 12:04 PM Setting Up the Printer Printer Set-up Physical Location The printer should be installed on a smooth and flat surface. There should be enough clearance around the printer to allow air circulation around the vents to prevent the printer from overheating, and also allow you to easily: • Open the top door. • Open the rear door to remove any jammed paper. • Retrieve paper from the rear face up output. Figure 2.1 A 14.2 inches / 360 mm B 14.

4508-c03.frm Page 2 Wednesday, May 22, 1996 6:55 AM Using the Front Control Panel Overview This printer’s control panel consists of four status LEDs and one Front Panel key. The LEDs indicate the printer’s status. (The Status Monitor utility displays more detailed information about the printer’s status on your computer’s screen.) Figure 3.1 Front control panel Xerox DocuPrint 4508 A ERROR* B MANUAL* C PAPER* D READY* * These are not labeled on the control panel.

4508-c03.frm Page 3 Wednesday, May 22, 1996 6:55 AM Using the Front Control Panel Front Panel Key and LED Functions There are four key functions. The key function is determined by the current printer’s state. For instance, holding the key down for four seconds with READY LED ON causes three Self Test pages to be printed. Holding the key down for four seconds with the READY LED blinking causes the printer to print any data remaining in the printer’s memory.

PAGE 30
Printing Documents Overview In this chapter, you will learn how to select the correct paper path according to your needs and the paper sizes you will use. Using the Paper Tray Paper Sizes Supported Since the paper tray is adjustable, it can hold up to 250 sheets of Executive, Letter, A4, B5, Folio or Legal sized paper. To achieve the best print quality and to avoid paper jam or damage to your printer, use only quality, xerographic/ photocopier grade paper.
PAGE 31
Using the Paper Tray Using the Side Guide You can use both the tab hole and paper size marker to adjust the side guide. While pressing the side guide tab, push the side guide forward towards the center of the tray until the tab hole of the selected paper size is positioned to the corresponding size. However, when using B5 size paper, simply position the paper size marker to the B5 size. Figure 4.
PAGE 32
Using the Paper Tray Using the Rear Guide For the rear guide, there are four positions: three positions in the center of the rear, and one position on the side of the rear. If you are using A4 size paper, place the rear guide in the side position. Otherwise, place the rear guide in one of the three positions in the center at the rear. Figure 4.
PAGE 33
Using the Paper Tray Using the Extension Guide Unless you are using legal or folio sized paper, you do not have to adjust the extension guide at all. If you need to use legal or folio sized paper, perform the following adjustment. While pressing the two tabs at the rear center of the paper tray, pull the extension guide to the rear until the two buttons are positioned into either the first position holes for folio or into the final position holes for legal. Figure 4.
PAGE 34
Printing Documents Adjusting and Loading the Paper Tray 1 Pull out the paper tray and remove the paper. 2 Using the rear guide or extension guide, adjust the tray for each paper size. • Extension guide: Legal, Folio • Rear guide: Letter, Exec, B5, A4 When letterhead is used, load the paper face down, with the top edge towards the front of the paper tray. 3 Secure the corner of the paper stack under the metal corner at the front of the paper tray. 4 Adjust the side guide to the corresponding size.
PAGE 35
Printing Documents Using Manual Feed When to Use Manual feed Use the printer’s manual feed option with the rear paper path cover open when printing on media that must go through a straight paper path. Following are examples of media that require the manual feed: • Envelopes • Adhesive Labels • Heavy or special paper, such as a single sheet of letterhead paper • Odd sized paper • Transparencies The rear cover must be open to enable the straight through paper path.
PAGE 36
Using Manual Feed 2 To prevent a paper jam, select the correct paper size in your software. For example, do NOT select letter size paper in your software and then try to feed legal paper into the manual feed slot. 3 If you are printing envelopes, insert the envelope, flap down, to the left side of the manual feed slot. Through your software, send the command to print. The printer’s MANUAL LED blinks, indicating the printer is ready to receive paper through the manual feed slot.
PAGE 37
Using Manual Feed Setting Up the Printer 1 If you want to use the faceup paper path, push down the exit cover latch. 2 While aligning the paper to the left, gently insert the paper face up into the manual feed slot until you feel resistance on the left corner. 3 Leave the other end of the paper resting on the table. Manual feeding of materials such as C5 envelopes will require you to physically support the trailing edge of the document to prevent bending/folding of the envelope.
PAGE 38
Using Manual Feed Using Priority Feed (Quick Manual Feed) The printer’s Priority Feed feature is a quick way to manually feed paper. If there is a sheet of paper in the manual feed slot, the printer always prints on that sheet first, then pulls the remaining pages from the paper cassette. No special software commands are required. This feature is especially helpful when the first page of your job is different from the rest. Example: Printing multiple page letters where first page is letterhead paper.

4508-c06.frm Page 8 Wednesday, May 22, 1996 7:48 AM Troubleshooting Clearing Paper Jams Paper Jam Causes Following are some conditions that can cause paper jams. • Removing the paper tray while a job is printing. • Filling the tray too full. • Not securing the paper stack under the metal corner of the paper tray. • Using paper that is too coarse or too smooth. • Using damaged or used paper. • Storing paper incorrectly, so that it curls or contains moisture. Figure 6.
PAGE 63
4508-c06.frm Page 9 Wednesday, May 22, 1996 7:48 AM Clearing Paper Jams First Action When a paper jam has occurred, first open the top door by pressing the door release button on the right side of the printer, then close it again. In most cases, this will clear the paper jam by feeding the jammed paper out of the printer. If this doesn’t solve the problem, refer to the following steps. Figure 6.2 Opening the top door Figure 6.
PAGE 64
4508-c06.frm Page 10 Wednesday, May 22, 1996 7:48 AM Clearing Paper Jams Checking the Paper Feed Area • Open the top door. • Take out the Printer Cartridge. • Pull out the paper tray. • If paper is in the paper feed area, pull the paper to the right to release it from the feed roller. Then pull the paper straight out. If the paper has gone completely into the printer, see the next page.
PAGE 65
4508-c06.frm Page 11 Wednesday, May 22, 1996 7:48 AM Clearing Paper Jams If the Paper has Gone Completely into the Printer • While holding the printer steady, carefully pull the jammed paper toward you to remove it. • Do not pull the paper straight up when removing it. The toner on the paper can contaminate the paper transportation system and affect the print quality. Remove paper horizontally.
PAGE 66
4508-c06.frm Page 12 Wednesday, May 22, 1996 7:48 AM Clearing Paper Jams If the Paper is Jammed in the Rear of the Printer • Open the rear access door. • Pull out the paper. • Remember to close the rear access door again. Figure 6.6 Clearing paper jams If the paper jam light continues to be lit, open and close the top door again. This should clear the paper jam message.
