Advanced Features
Booklet printing
You can print a document in the form of a small book. The printer automatically reduces
each page image by 50 percent and prints two pages per sheet of paper. The pages are
printed in the correct order so that you can fold and staple the pages to create a booklet.
0726-67
Note
To use this feature, the printer must have the DP Feature Set. You can create
booklets for any paper size that is supported for 2-sided (duplex) printing.
When you choose Print Booklet Style, you can also print a border around each page and
specify the creep and gutter. The gutter is the horizontal distance from the fold to the page
image (in points). The creep is the distance that page images are shifted inward (in 10ths of
a point); this compensates for the thickness of the folded paper, which otherwise would
cause the page images to shift slightly outward.

Color and Color Sampler Charts
Color and Color Sampler Charts
You can have the colors on your print match particular press specifications or match your
computer screen’s colors. To do this, pick a color correction in the printer driver; see
page 3 for more information.
You can use color sampler charts to help select the colors to use in your application. Refer
to the next section for more information.
Color Sampler Charts
Color sampler charts are colored rectangles with each color’s component values; they help
you select colors in an application that can be reproduced on your printer.
Component values are percentages of each color — CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black),
RGB (Red, Green, Blue), or HSB (Hue, Saturation, Brightness) — that combine to make a
particular color.

Which color chart you print and use depends on how your application selects color. For
information on color selection, refer to the application’s documentation, then print one or
more of the color sampler charts.

values from the PANTONE Process Imaging Guide.
2. Print your document, selecting Commercial Press or SWOP Press for the color
3. When you are satisfied with the proof, the file can be separated for printing press
plates without adjustment to the file.
Printing printer-specific PANTONE Colors
Your printer can produce process color simulations of PANTONE Spot Colors.
2. Within the application, define the desired color in your document by using the
individual CMYK values that appear on the sampler chart.
3. Print your document, selecting None for the color correction in the printer driver; (see
page 3 for more information). For best results, use the proper print quality setting and
the same type of paper that you used to print the PANTONE Color chart.
For final output on a color printing press (colors printed as a process color, not spot
colors):
1. Open the application.
2. Replace the printer’s PANTONE process Colors with standard PANTONE Colors.

Downloading fonts
To supplement the resident fonts (which are always available for printing), downloadable
fonts can be sent from your computer and be stored in the printer’s memory or on a hard
drive. Adding more printer memory or a hard drive expands the number of fonts that can
be stored on your printer. Refer to the Phaser 860 Color Printer User Guide or the Xerox
web site for part numbers of the hard drive and memory.
By downloading fonts to a hard disk or memory, you save print time when you use a
Macintosh to print large documents or print several documents that use those fonts.
Because it has bi-directional communication with the printer, the Macintosh finds out
which fonts are already available in the printer memory and on the hard drive, and thus
doesn’t spend time downloading those same fonts from the application.
Note
Because PC drivers don’t have bi-directional font communication with the
printer, the PC only knows what fonts came with the printer. All other fonts are
downloaded from the application, even if they already were downloaded to the
hard disk or memory.

Clear the jam. For detailed information about clearing jams, refer to the Phaser 860
Color Printer User Guide.
Make sure that paper or transparencies are installed correctly in the tray and that the
tray switch is set correctly.
If the jam occurred because too much media was loaded in the tray, reduce the
amount of media so it is below the fill line on the left side of the tray.
If the paper is wrinkled or curled, change the media; only use clean, undamaged
paper.
If the jam occurred because the paper is too thick or too thin, use the recommended
media instead; refer to the Phaser 860 Color Printer User Guide or print the Paper
Tips Page (from the Printable Pagesmenu).

For transparencies, only use Phaser 860 transparency film, which has been
specially formulated for use in this printer.
Use clean, undamaged paper. Keep paper and other supplies clean and free from
dust. Paper that has been sitting out of its sealed wrapper can become distorted,
causing paper jams. Keep paper sealed until you are ready to use it for printing.
I
I
I
I
Do not use paper that has been creased or wrinkled.
If paper is still jamming, flip the paper over in the paper tray
Do not print on sheets of labels that are missing labels.
Use only Phaser 860 printer Color Printing Labels or Xerox Phaser Premium
Business Cards.

When using the manual-feed slot:
I
I
Always use two hands to load the media so that it enters evenly.
Wait until a front panel message prompts you before feeding the first sheet of
paper, first transparency, or first envelope. When printing multiple pages, wait
until the front panel message prompts you before adding the next sheet of media.
I
I
Clean the printer’s rollers if they are visibly dirty. Refer to the Phaser 860 Color
Printer User Guide for more information about cleaning the rollers.
In high-humidity conditions, or when using speciality papers that can be printed on
both sides: Remove the paper from the paper tray, turn over the stack of paper, and
reinsert the paper into the tray.
After you clear a media jam, the printer sometimes outputs a second, usually partial print
to remove any image that may remain on the print drum; then the printer prints your
original image.
If you have more than one tray, the lower tray is usually the tray that the printer uses in
