Automatic Tray Switching
Automatic tray switching, available for both PCL and
PostScript jobs, enables you to group two or more input
trays together into one logical tray, and in a specific order
in which the trays will be searched to satisfy an input
request. Tray switching is useful for:
Automatic Tray
Sw itching
•
Increasing paper capacity.
When the current paper tray runs out of paper, the
printer automatically switches to the next tray in the
sequence, provided the paper size and type in the next
tray is the same size and type as that in the current
tray.
•
•
Searching for the correct paper size and type.
If the paper size and type specified in your software
application does not match the paper loaded in the
current paper tray, the printer automatically searches
the next tray in the sequence for a paper size and type
that matches.
Tray switching is made possible via the Tray Sequence
item in the Control Panel’s Tray Menu. It enables
grouping of Tray 1 in the printer, the MBF, and optional
Trays 2 and 3 (if installed) into a variety of sequence
combinations. Tray switching can also be turned off.
Following is a description of the settings and rules for
using the Tray Sequence function, along with examples of
its use. For more information on using the Control Panel
to set Tray Sequence, refer to Chapter 3 of the System
Administrator Guide.

Automatic Tray Switching
Paper size/type mismatch occurs when the requested size
is not available in the printer. This can be caused by
running out of paper in a tray that is configured for the
requested paper, or by requesting a paper that is not
configured in the printer. The printer goes off-line under
paper mismatch conditions. It automatically returns
on-line and continues printing after the paper mismatch
condition is resolved.
Paper Size/Type
Mismatch
If a tray is configured for the requested paper, but the tray
is out of paper, the display prompts you to load the
requested paper (size and type) in the appropriate tray.
After the tray is loaded, printing continues.
If the request is for paper that is not configured in the
printer, you are prompted to load the requested paper in
the first tray of the Tray Sequence setting.
If you do not want to load paper in the first tray of the
Tray Sequence setting, two options are available:
•
One of the trays may be loaded with the requested size
paper and reconfigured via the Tray Menu to match
the requested paper type. (See Chapter 3 of the System
Administrator Guide for instructions on using the Tray
Menu.)
•
Value Up or Value Down may be pressed to scroll
through all the trays, displaying the size and type
paper in each tray. If one of these alternate papers is
acceptable, pressing Enter will cause printing to
continue on the new paper. Trays are searched in the
order specified in the Tray Sequence setting.

Your DocuPrint N17 printer has been designed to provide
reliable, trouble-free operation. However, you may
experience an occasional paper jam.
Paper Jams
When the printer detects a misfeed or a paper jam, the
printing process is halted and a Control Panel message is
displayed.
After the paper jam has been cleared, the printer will
resume operation to complete the print job. The pages in
the print engine will be reprinted when the jam is cleared
and printing resumes.
Paper jams occur most often when:

Operation
Problems
Table 7.1 Printer operation problems
Problem
Action
The printer will not print
at all, or a file sent from
the client/server will not
print.
1. Check with your network administrator to see that the printer is powered up,
connected to the network and that the network is operational.
2. Check Control Panel messages for “Paper Jam,” “Door Open,” etc.
3. If the port (parallel or network) the printer is connected to is disabled, enable
it. Check the Configuration Sheet for the port you are using to see if the Port
Enable item in the appropriate Interface Menu is set to On. If it is set to Off, set
it to On and try again.
4. If the printer has printed recently, do the following:
• Attempt to print a Configuration Sheet. If it does not print, contact your
dealer or Xerox.
• If the Configuration Sheet prints, check to see that the printer is configured
properly.
• If the printer is configured properly, check the Configuration Sheet to
confirm that the correct PDL is enabled for the port or protocol you are
using.
• If the correct PDL is enabled and the printer continues not to print, contact
your dealer or Xerox.

Printer Operation Problems
Table 7.1 Printer operation problems (continued)
Problem
Action
A printed page does not
look like it should.
1. Make certain that the software application you are using to create your print
job is configured properly. Refer to your software documentation.
2. Make sure the correct driver is being used.
3. Send a file containing PCL or PostScript commands to the printer.
• If your page prints as it should, your printer and interface are functioning
properly.
• If your information prints correctly, but doesn't look right, you may have:
- An error in your command sequence/operator.
- A missing downloaded font.
- A mismatched printer option against your host formatting.
• Command errors may be identified by looking at your input file. You can
determine which fonts are in the system by printing a PCL or PS Font List.
You can verify your data setup by printing a Configuration Sheet and
checking your printer setup.
The requested font for
the job does not print.
Print a PCL Font List, or PostScript Font List if the job is PostScript.
• If fonts print on the Font List, your print job may need correcting.
• If fonts do not print on the Font List, reload the fonts and print another PCL or
PostScript Font List.

Printer Operation Problems
Table 7.1 Printer operation problems (continued)
Problem
Action
PostScript commands are
printed instead of the
PostScript job.
1. Make certain that the software application you are using to create your job is
configured properly. Refer to your software documentation.
2. The job sent to the printer might have included an incorrect header, and
therefore, not have indicated that a PostScript job was being sent.
• Check your software to make sure the PostScript header file is being sent to
the printer.
3. Set the Print Errors item in the PostScript Menu to On and resend the job.
• If an error page prints, there is a problem in the PostScript coding. Correct
the coding problem and resend the job.
• If the job still does not print and an error page was not printed, the job may
require additional memory.

Printer Operation Problems
Table 7.1 Printer operation problems (continued)

A PostScript or PCL job
fails to print.
1. Check that you are using a DocuPrint N17 PostScript printer driver.
2. For a PostScript job, set the Print Errors item in the PostScript Menu to On and
resend the job.
• If an error page prints, there is a problem in the PostScript coding. Correct
the coding problem and resend the job. Asking for unavailable features can
cause a configuration error.
• If the job still does not print and an error page was not printed, the job may
require additional memory. See Appendix A of the System Administrator
Guide for ordering more printer memory.
3. For a PCL job, do the following:
• Check the output for PCL errors.
• If there is a problem in the PCL coding, correct the coding problem and
resend the job.
• If there is no error message, resend the job.
• If the error message indicates “out of memory,” the job may require
additional memory. See Appendix A of the System Administrator Guide for
ordering more printer memory.
