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 standard tray can feed paper weights from 60 to 120g/m2(16 to 32 lb) grain long paper. Paper
lighter than 60g/m2(16lb) 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 60–120g/m2(16–32-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 60g/m2(16lb)
• Multiple-part forms or documents
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.
• When printing on letterhead, load the paper in the proper orientation for your printer. For more
information, see the Paper and Specialty Media Guide.

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.
• 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.

Your Xerox printer is designed to function best with genuine Xerox parts and supplies. Use of third-
party parts or 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 parts or
supplies is not covered by the warranty.
All life indicators are designed to function with Xerox supplies and parts 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 and parts without Return Program agreement terms may be reset and
remanufactured. However, the manufacturer’s warranty does not cover any damage caused by
non-genuine supplies or parts. Resetting counters on the supply or part without proper
remanufacturing can cause damage to your printer. After resetting the supply or part counter,
your printer may display an error indicating the presence of the reset item.

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

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.

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.
TToottaall EEnneerrggyy UUssaaggee
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.
