5 Loading print media
This chapter will help you understand the types of paper you can use
with your printer and how to properly load paper in the different paper
trays for the best print quality.
This chapter includes:
• Selecting print media
• Loading paper
• Output tray information
Selecting print media
You can print on a variety of print media, such as plain paper, envelopes,
labels, and transparencies. Always use print media that meet the
guidelines for use with your printer. Print media that does not meet the
guidelines outlined in this user guide may cause the following problems:
• Poor print quality
• Increased paper jams
• Premature wear of the output tray components
Properties, such as weight, composition, grain, and moisture content,
are important factors that affect the machine’s performance and the
output quality. When you choose print materials, consider the following:
• The type, size and weight of the print media for your machine are
described later in this section.
• Desired outcome: The print media you choose should be appropriate
for your project.
• Brightness: Some print media are whiter than others and produce
sharper, more vibrant images.
• Surface smoothness: The smoothness of the print media affects how
crisp the printing looks on the paper.
Notes
• Some print media may meet all of the guidelines in this section
and still not produce satisfactory results. This may be the
result of improper handling, unacceptable temperature and
humidity levels, or other variables over which Xerox has no
control.
• Before purchasing large quantities of print media, ensure that
it meets the requirements specified in this user guide.
Caution
• Using print media that does not meet these specifications may
cause problems, requiring repairs. Such repairs are not
covered by Xerox’s warranty or service agreements.
