We use the APU with X-bleed in AUTO. We only use x-bleed starts if the APU is inop. Normal SE taxi out is with #1 Bleed ON, X-Bleed OPEN, and APU Bleed OFF. This allows the #1 engine bleed to supply both packs, and (the book says) this keeps the engine exaust from contaminating the air conditioning via the APU intake/bleed, which is why we don't turn the APU bleed on until right before the 2nd start.



From our Manual:

DELAYED START PROCEDURE:

ENG MODE selector: IGN/START

Cross Bleed Selector: Rotate Auto

APU Bleed pb: ON

Engine #2 Bleed pb: Verify ON

Y ELEC PUMP pb: OFF

Engine Start Procedure: Accomplish


After engine start:

ENG MODE selector: NORM

APU BLEED pb: OFF

ENG ANTI ICE: as reqd

APU MASTER SW pb: OFF (may remain ON for MDM considerations)

Flight Controls: ckd

DELAYED START checklist


Hope this helps.
