About Print Media
Using paper that is not appropriate for the printer can cause paper jams, image quality problems, or printer failure.
To achieve the best performance from your printer, we recommend you to use only the paper described in this
section.
When using paper other than that recommended, contact the Fuji Xerox local representative office or an authorized
dealer.
Print Media Usage Guidelines
The printer tray accommodates various sizes and types of paper and other specialty media. Follow these guidelines
when loading paper and media in the tray:
• Fan paper or other specialty media before loading in the paper tray.
• Do not print on label stock once a label has been removed from a sheet.
• Use only paper envelopes. Do not use envelopes with windows, metal clasps, or adhesives with release strips.
• Print all envelopes single-sided only.
• Some wrinkling and embossing may occur when printing envelopes.
• Do not overload the tray. Do not load print media above the fill line on the inside of the paper width guides.
• Adjust the paper width guides to fit the paper size.
• If excessive jams occur, use paper or other media from a new package.

Print Media That Can Damage Your Printer
Your printer is designed to use a variety of media types for print jobs. However, some media can cause poor output
quality, increased paper jams, or damage to your printer.
Unacceptable media includes:
• Rough or porous media
• Plastic media
• Paper that has been folded or wrinkled
• Paper with staples
• Envelopes with windows or metal clasps
• Padded envelopes
• Non-laser glossy or coated paper
• Perforated media
• Do not use conductive paper such as origami paper, carbonic paper or conductively-coated paper. When paper jam
occurs, it may cause short-circuit and eventually a fire accident.
