Selecting Paper
PPaappeerr GGuuiiddeelliinneess
Use the appropriate paper to prevent jams and help ensure trouble-free printing.
• Always use new, undamaged paper.
• Before loading paper, know the recommended printable side of the paper. This information is
usually indicated on the paper package.
• Do not use paper that has been cut or trimmed by hand.
• Do not mix paper sizes, types, or weights in the same tray; mixing results in jams.
• Do not use coated papers unless they are specifically designed for electrophotographic printing.
PPaappeerr CChhaarraacctteerriissttiiccss
The following paper characteristics affect print quality and reliability. Consider these factors before
printing on them.
WWeeiigghhtt
The trays can feed paper weights from 60–176 g/m2(16–47 lb.) grain long paper. Paper lighter than
60 g/m2(16 lb.) may not be stiff enough to feed properly, and may cause jams.
CCuurrll
Curl is the tendency for paper to curl at its edges. Excessive curl can cause paper feeding problems.
Curl can occur after the paper passes through the printer, where it is exposed to high temperatures.
Storing paper unwrapped in hot, humid, cold, or dry conditions can contribute to paper curling before
printing and can cause feeding problems.
SSmmooootthhnneessss
Paper smoothness directly affects print quality. If paper is too rough, toner cannot fuse to it properly.
If paper is too smooth, it can cause paper feeding or print quality issues. We recommend the use of
paper with 50 Sheffield points.
MMooiissttuurree CCoonntteenntt
The amount of moisture in paper affects both print quality and the printer ability to feed the paper
correctly. Leave paper in its original wrapper until you use it. Exposure of paper to moisture changes
can degrade its performance.
Store paper in its original wrapper in the same environment as the printer for 24 to 48 hours before
printing. Extend the time several days if the storage or transportation environment is very different
from the printer environment. Thick paper may also require a longer conditioning period.

GGrraaiinn DDiirreeccttiioonn
Grain refers to the alignment of the paper fibers in a sheet of paper. Grain is either grain long,
running the length of the paper, or grain short, running the width of the paper.
For 60–176 g/m2(16–47 lb.) paper, grain long paper is recommended.
FFiibbeerr CCoonntteenntt
Most high-quality xerographic paper is made from 100 percent chemically treated pulped wood. This
content provides the paper with a high degree of stability, resulting in fewer paper feeding problems
and better print quality. Paper containing fibers such as cotton can negatively affect paper handling.
UUnnaacccceeppttaabbllee PPaappeerr
The following paper types are not recommended for use with the printer:
• Chemically treated papers used to make copies without carbon paper, also known as carbonless
papers, carbonless copy paper (CCP), or no carbon required (NCR) paper
• Preprinted papers with chemicals that may contaminate the printer
• Preprinted papers that can be affected by the temperature in the printer fuser
• Preprinted papers that require a registration (the precise print location on the page) greater than
±2.3mm (±0.9in.), such as optical character recognition (OCR) forms
In some cases, registration can be adjusted with a software application to successfully print on
these forms.
• Coated papers (erasable bond), synthetic papers, thermal papers
• Rough-edged, rough or heavily textured surface papers, or curled papers
• Recycled papers that fail EN12281:2002 (European)
• Paper weighing less than 60 g/m2(16 lb.)
• Multiple-part forms or documents
SSttoorriinngg PPaappeerr
Use these paper storage guidelines to help avoid jams and uneven print quality:
• Store paper in its original wrapper in the same environment as the printer for 24 to 48 hours
before printing.
• Extend the time several days if the storage or transportation environment is very different from
the printer environment. Thick paper may also require a longer conditioning period.
• For best results, store paper where the temperature is 21°C (70°F) and the relative humidity is 40
percent.
• Most label manufacturers recommend printing in a temperature range of 18–24°C (65–75°F) with
relative humidity between 40 and 60 percent.
• Store paper in cartons, on a pallet or shelf, rather than on the floor.
• Store individual packages on a flat surface.
24 Xerox®C230 Color Printer
User Guide
Learn About the Printer
• Do not store anything on top of individual paper packages.
• Take paper out of the carton or wrapper only when you are ready to load it in the printer. The
carton and wrapper help keep the paper clean, dry, and flat.
SSeelleeccttiinngg PPrreepprriinntteedd FFoorrmmss aanndd LLeetttteerrhheeaadd
• Use grain long paper.
• Use only forms and letterhead printed using an offset lithographic or engraved printing process.
• Avoid paper with rough or heavily textured surfaces.
• Use inks that are not affected by the resin in toner. Inks that are oxidation-set or oil-based
generally meet these requirements; latex inks might not.
• Print samples on preprinted forms and letterheads considered for use before buying large
quantities. This action determines whether the ink in the preprinted form or letterhead affects
print quality.
• When in doubt, contact your paper supplier.

Your Xerox printer is designed to function best with genuine Xerox supplies. Use of third-party
supplies can affect the performance, reliability, or life of the printer and its imaging components. It
can also affect warranty coverage. Damage caused by the use of third-party supplies is not covered
by the warranty.
All life indicators are designed to function with Xerox supplies and can deliver unpredictable results if
third-party supplies are used. Imaging component usage beyond the intended life can damage your
Xerox printer or associated components.
Warning: Supplies without Return Program agreement terms can be reset and remanufactured.
However, the manufacturer’s warranty does not cover any damage caused by non-genuine
supplies. Resetting counters on the supply without proper remanufacturing can cause damage
to your printer. After resetting the supply counter, your printer may display an error indicating
the presence of the reset item.

What is RGB color?
RGB color is a method of describing colors by indicating the amount of red, green, or blue used to
produce a certain color. Red, green, and blue light can be added in various amounts to produce a
large range of colors observed in nature. Computer screens, scanners, and digital cameras use this
method to display colors.
Xerox®C230 Color Printer
User Guide

Troubleshoot a problem
What is CMYK color?
CMYK color is a method of describing colors by indicating the amount of cyan, magenta, yellow, and
black used to reproduce a particular color. Cyan, magenta, yellow, and black inks or toners can be
printed in various amounts to produce a large range of colors observed in nature. Printing presses,
inkjet printers, and color laser printers create colors in this manner.
How is color specified in a document to be printed?
Software programs are used to specify and modify the document color using RGB or CMYK color
combinations. For more information, see the software program Help topics.
How does the printer know what color to print?
When printing a document, information describing the type and color of each object is sent to the
printer and is passed through color conversion tables. Color is translated into the appropriate
amounts of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black toner used to produce the color you want. The object
information determines the application of color conversion tables. For example, it is possible to apply
one type of color conversion table to text while applying a different color conversion table to
photographic images.
What is manual color correction?
When manual color correction is enabled, the printer employs user-selected color conversion tables to
process objects. Manual color correction settings are specific to the type of object being printed (text,
graphics, or images). It is also specific to how the color of the object is specified in the software
program (RGB or CMYK combinations). To apply a different color conversion table manually, see
Modifying the Colors in Printed Output.
If the software program does not specify colors with RGB or CMYK combinations, then manual color
correction is not useful. It is also not effective if the software program or the computer operating
system controls the adjustment of colors. In most situations, setting the Color Correction to Auto
generates preferred colors for the documents.
How can I match a particular color (such as a corporate logo)?
From the printer Quality menu, nine types of Color Samples sets are available. These sets are also
available from the Color Samples page of the Embedded Web Server. Selecting any sample set
generates multiple-page prints consisting of hundreds of colored boxes. Each box contains a CMYK or
RGB combination, depending on the table selected. The observed color of each box is obtained by
passing the CMYK or RGB combination labeled on the box through the selected color conversion
table.
By examining Color Samples sets, you can identify the box with color closest to the color being
matched. The color combination labeled on the box can then be used for modifying the color of the
object in a software program. For more information, see the software program Help topics. Manual
color correction may be necessary to use the selected color conversion table for the particular object.
Selecting which Color Samples set to use for a particular color-matching problem depends on:
174 Xerox®C230 Color Printer
User Guide
Troubleshoot a problem
• The Color Correction setting being used (Auto, Off, or Manual)
• The type of object being printed (text, graphics, or images)
• How the color of the object is specified in the software program (RGB or CMYK combinations)
If the software program does not specify colors with RGB or CMYK combinations, then the Color
Samples pages are not useful. Additionally, some software programs adjust the RGB or CMYK
combinations specified in the program through color management. In these situations, the printed
color may not be an exact match of the Color Samples pages.

This product is designed with an energy-saving mode called Sleep Mode. The Sleep Mode saves
energy by lowering power consumption during extended periods of inactivity. The Sleep Mode is
automatically engaged after this product is not used for a specified period of time, called the Sleep
Mode Timeout.
Note: Factory default Sleep Mode Timeout for this product is 15 minutes.
By using the configuration menus, the Sleep Mode Timeout can be modified between 1 minute and
120 minutes. If the print speed is less than or equal to 30 pages per minute, then you can set the
timeout only up to 60 minutes. Setting the Sleep Mode Timeout to a low value reduces energy
consumption, but may increase the response time of the product. Setting the Sleep Mode Timeout to
a high value maintains a fast response, but uses more energy.
HHiibbeerrnnaattee MMooddee
This product is designed with an ultra-low power operating mode called Hibernate mode. When
operating in Hibernate Mode, all other systems and devices are powered down safely.
The Hibernate mode can be entered in any of the following methods:
• Using the Hibernate Timeout
• Using the Schedule Power modes
Note: Factory default Hibernate Timeout for this product in all countries or regions is 3 days.
The amount of time the printer waits after a job is printed before it enters Hibernate mode can be
modified between one hour and one month.
OOffff MMooddee
If this product has an off mode which still consumes a small amount of power, then to completely
stop product power consumption, disconnect the power supply cord from the electrical outlet.

It is sometimes helpful to estimate the total product energy usage. Since power consumption claims
are provided in power units of Watts, the power consumption should be multiplied by the time the
product spends in each mode in order to calculate energy usage. The total product energy usage is
the sum of each mode's energy usage.
