USER GUIDE (COPIER)
Loading Stock
Paper
Load the paper into Trays 1, 2, 3, and 4 with the preferred printing 
side up. 
Load the paper into Tray 5 (Bypass) with the preferred printing 
side down. 
The capacity of the tray varies with the paper weight that is loaded 
in the tray. 
NOTE: For the best results, use only the recommended paper 
sizes, paper weights, or paper types. If you do not use 
recommended papers, you may experience copy quality 
problems, paper jams, or possible component failures.
If you are loading pre-drilled paper load it into Tray 5 (Bypass) with 
the undrilled long edge as the leading edge (holes to the left) for 1 
sided output, the undrilled long edge as the trailing edge (holes to 
the right) for 2 sided output.

USER GUIDE (COPIER)
NOTE: Do not load paper above the fill line of the paper tray edge 
guides.
NOTE: Fan the desired paper before loading it into the Tray.
Straighten the paper stack each time the paper tray is opened. 
Close the paper tray slowly to avoid shifting the paper stack. This 
ensures that the paper is in the correct position when the paper 
tray is in the operating position.
If paper feeding or copy curl problems occur, flip the paper over in 
the tray and make the copies again. If the performance improves, 
continue to load the paper in this manner. Testing has shown that 
paper handling and copy performance vary with room 
temperature, humidity, paper quality, image area on copies, etc. 
All of these variables interact and, in some cases, you must 
decide which paper loading method works best.
NOTE: Coated papers are very susceptible to humidity. Multifeeds 
are much more likely with humidity greater than 40%. 
Environmental conditions may require that coated paper be fed 
one sheet at a time from Tray 5 (Bypass).

USER GUIDE (COPIER)
Transparencies
Transparencies can only be fed from Tray 5 (Bypass). Stripeless 
transparencies are recommended. Striped transparencies must be 
loaded with the stripe face up, on the left side of the tray.
NOTE: Use only the transparencies recommended in the 
Recommended Materials for the WorkCentre 24. 
After loading the transparencies you can program the copier 
printer to insert a blank separator page between transparencies by 
using the Transparency Separators feature. 
For more information about the Tranparency Separators feature, 
refer to the section entitled Transparency Separators, in this 
chapter.
Follow these guidelines to prevent static build up when using 
transparencies:
• Place no more than twenty 8.5x11 inch or A4 transparencies in 
Tray 5 (Bypass) at one time.
• Place only one 11x17 in. or A3 transparency in Tray 5 
(Bypass) at a time.
• Remove the transparencies from the Center Output Tray 
before running additional sets.
NOTE: Transparencies cannot be delivered to the Finisher Tray. 
For more specific information about materials that have been 
tested and approved for use in the WorkCentre 24, refer to the 
Recommended Materials for the WorkCentre 24. Information is 
also available off the main Xerox web site (www.xerox.com) and 
will be updated periodically.

Loading Paper into Trays 1, 2, 3, and 4
1To load a paper tray, pull the tray out.
2Fan the paper and load the desired paper into the tray by aligning 
the edge of the paper against the left edge of the tray. The side to 
be copied should be facing up.
Do not fill the paper tray above the fill line.
3Adjust the paper guides if necessary, until they lightly touch the 
paper.
4Push the tray in gently until it comes to a stop.
Loading Stock into Tray 5 (Bypass)
The number of sheets that can be loaded in Tray 5 (Bypass) 
varies with the weight of the stock. 
NOTE: Paper stocks which exhibit difficulties when fed from Trays 
1,2,3 and 4 may be fed more reliably from Tray 5 (Bypass).
Do not add paper during a copying job. Do not interleave 
transparencies with paper in Tray 5 (Bypass).
NOTE: Make sure to select the appropriate paper type (i.e. 
transparencies, heavyweight paper). This will ensure that the 
images are fused properly in the printing/copying process.
1Open Tray 5 (Bypass) by grasping the tray and gently pushing it 
away and down from the printer/copier.
2Check the position of the front edge paper guide for Tray 5 
(Bypass).
NOTE: The guide should only be set to the 12 inch position for 
papers wider than A3 (297 mm), such as 12x18 inches.

USER GUIDE (COPIER)
3Fan the paper and load paper with the side to be copied or printed 
on facing down. Insert the paper lightly along the paper guide on 
the front side of the machine until it comes to a stop.
4Adjust the back edge paper guide until it lightly touches the paper.
NOTE: Do not load mixed size paper into the tray. Do not load 
materials above the fill line located on the paper guide
5Select the appropriate size and type for the paper you have 
loaded.
6Remove all stock from Tray 5 (Bypass) after the job is complete. 
Dust and moisture can cause copy quality defects.
Loading 12 x 18 inch Paper
Use Tray 5 (Bypass) for 12x18 inch (305 x 457 mm) paper.
1Open Tray 5 (Bypass) by grasping the tray and gently pushing it 
away and down from the printer/copier.
2Adjust the front edge paper guide for Tray 5 (Bypass) to the 12x18 
position.
3Load up to 100 sheets of 12x18 inch (305 x 457 mm) 20 lb. paper 
into Tray 5  (Bypass). Load paper with the side to be copied or 
printed on facing down.
4Adjust the back edge guide until it lightly touches the paper.
5Select 12x18 in. under Standard Size, and select the appropriate 
type for the paper you have loaded. 
6When the job is complete, return the paper guides for Tray 5 
(Bypass) to their normal position.

Loading SRA3 Paper into Tray 5 (Bypass)
1Open Tray 5 (Bypass) by grasping the tray and gently pushing it 
away and down from the printer/copier. 
2Adjust the front edge paper guide to the closest position forward 
beyond the 12x18 in. position.
3Load the SRA3 paper into Tray 5 (Bypass). Load the paper with 
the side to be printed on facing down.
4Adjust the back edge guide until it lightly touches the paper.
NOTE: SRA3 paper is not recommended for copy jobs. 
Performance using this paper size may vary. The maximum image 
area is 303 x 476.6mm with a guaranteed area of 297 x 476.6mm.
CAUTION: Do not place any objects or materials other than the 
appropriate stock on Tray 5 (Bypass). Printer/copier damage may

USER GUIDE (COPIER)
Output Color
The Output Color feature allows you to select the desired output 
color.
The following options are available:
AutoThe Auto Color option enables the copier to determine if the 
document is black and white or color.  If the document is black and 
white, the Black option is selected automatically.  If the document 
is colored, the Full Color option is selected.
The DADF must be closed for the Auto Color option to function. In 
order for the scanner to accurately sense color on a document, the 
color area must be greater than 50 mm
2 (approximately 2 
inches
2).  If the color area is less, select the Full Color option.  
Also some very dark colors may be sensed as black.  In this case, 
select the Full Color option as well.
NOTE: With Auto selected, the printer/copier runs at the speed for 
color copying, even if the originals are B/W.
NOTE: The sensitivity of Auto for detecting color vs. B/W can be 
adjusted in System Settings mode under Output Color 
Recognition.
Full ColorEnables the copier to make copies using all four toner colors: 
Yellow, Magenta, Cyan and Black.
BlackThe Black option should be selected when the desired output is a 
black and white copy.  Black and white copies can be made from 
any original.  With Black selected only Black toner is used.
Dual ColorThe Dual Color option enables the copier to make copies in two 
preset colors.  The color of colored areas and black areas of the 
document can be specified. 
Single ColorThe color setting Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, Magenta, or Cyan can 
be selected.
NOTE: Custom colors can be programmed in System Settings 
mode under Setting Custom Colors.
