Page 183: Auto Tray Switching
Auto Tray Switching The Auto Tray Switching feature enables the copier/printer to switch automatically to another tray when a tray runs out of paper. The trays must be loaded with the same size paper in the same orientation (long edge feed or short edge feed). Also, Auto Tray Switching must be enabled in the Tools mode, with the same paper type assigned to two or more trays.
Page 184: Loading Stock
Loading stock Using paper The front and back surfaces of a piece of paper differ slightly. Therefore, one side is preferred as the side to image when copying to one side only, or the side to image first if copying to two sides. Some ream wrappers mark this preferred printing side (also called the wire side) with an arrow.
Page 185 Refer to the Recommended Materials for the Document Centre ColorSeries 50 for more information. • If you are loading pre-drilled paper, load it into Paper Tray 5 with the undrilled long edge as the leading edge (holes to the left).
Page 186: Using Transparencies
KEY POINT: Use only the transparencies recommended in the Recommended Materials for the Document Centre ColorSeries 50 . Before you load transparencies, you must determine which side has the white stripe. Use a soft lead pencil to make a small mark on the stripe on each side of the transparency.
Page 187: Loading Paper Into Trays 1, 2, 3, And 4

11.Sorter/Mailbox Overview The Document Centre ColorSeries 50 copier/ printer may be equipped with an optional Sorter/Mailbox, as illustrated in Figure 121. The Sorter/Mailbox contains the following components: Sorter/Mailbox Release Lever Sorter/Mailbox Bins: Copies are delivered here in the Sort or Stack Mode.
Page 211 WARNING: Do not place your fingers between the Bins while the Sorter/Mailbox is in operation. WARNING: Never cheat the safety interlock switch. Injury or a document jam may occur. This switch shuts off the Sorter/Mailbox power when you open the front doors or when you move the Sorter/Mailbox to the right to clear a paper jam.
Page 212: Using The Sorter/Mailbox
Using the Sorter/Mailbox The optional Sorter/Mailbox performs like a sorter for the Document Centre ColorSeries 50 standalone copier configuration. It performs like a sorter or mailbox for the Document Centre ColorSeries 50 copier/printer configuration. Contact your Xerox representative to change functionality.
Page 213 • Uncollated Copies are stacked sequentially in the Sorter/ Mailbox Bins by page numbers of the documents. For example, in a three-page job where 3 sets are requested, one set of output is delivered, face up, in 1/1/1, 2/2/2, 3/3/3 order. This results in all copies of the first page being at the bottom of the set and all copies of the last page being on the top of the set.
