About Print Media
This section includes:
• "Print Media Usage Guidelines" on page 65
• "Print Media That Can Damage Your Printer" on page 66
• "Print Media Storage Guidelines" on page 67
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.
Printing Basics64
Print Media Usage Guidelines
The printer tray accommodates most sizes and types of paper and other specialty media. Follow these
guidelines when loading paper and media in the tray:
• Before buying large quantities of any print media, it is recommended that you try a sample first.
• For 60 to 135 gsm (16 to 36 lb bond) paper, grain long, where the paper fibers run along the
length of the paper, is recommended. For paper heavier than 135 gsm (36 lb bond), grain short,
where the paper fibers run along the width of the paper, is preferred.
• Envelopes can be printed from the multipurpose feeder (MPF) and priority sheet inserter (PSI).
• 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 paper 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 or wrinkles occur, use paper or other media from a new package.
WARNING :
• 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.

65Printing Basics
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:
• Paper that is too heavyweight or too lightweight (less than 60 gsm or more than 190 gsm)
• Transparencies
• Photo paper or coated paper
• Tracing paper
• Illumination film
• Special ink jet printer paper and ink jet transparencies
• Static-cling paper
• Pasted-up or glued paper
• Specially coated paper
• Color paper with surface treatments
• Paper that uses ink that deteriorates with heat
• Photosensitive paper
• Carbon paper or carbonless copy paper
• Paper with a rough surface, such as Japanese paper, pulp paper or fibrous paper
• Envelopes that are not flat, or that have clasps, windows or adhesives with release strips
• Padded envelopes
• Tack film
• Water transfer paper
• Textile transfer paper
• Perforated paper
• Leather paper, embossed paper
• Conductive paper such as origami paper, carbonic paper or conductively-coated paper
• Wrinkled, creased, folded, or ripped paper
• Damp or wet paper
• Wavy or curled paper
• Paper with staples, clips, ribbons, or tape
• Label paper with some labels already peeled off, or that are partially cut off
• Paper pre-printed by another printer or copier
• Paper pre-printed all over rear side
WARNING :
• 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.
Printing Basics66
Print Media Storage Guidelines
Providing good storage conditions for your paper and other media contributes to optimum print quality.
• Store print media in dark, cool, relatively dry locations. Most paper items are susceptible to
damage from ultraviolet (UV) and visible light. UV radiation, which is emitted by the sun and
fluorescent bulbs, is particularly damaging to paper items. The intensity and length of exposure
to visible light on paper items should be reduced as much as possible.
• Maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity.
• Avoid attics, kitchens, garages, and basements for storing print media.
• Store print media flat. Print media should be stored on pallets, cartons, shelves, or in cabinets.
• Avoid having food or drinks in the area where print media is stored or handled.
• Do not open sealed packages of paper until you are ready to load them into the printer. Leave
paper in the original packaging. For most commercial cut-size grades, the ream wrapper
contains an inner lining that protects the paper from moisture loss or gain.
• Leave the media inside the bag until you are ready to use it; reinsert unused media in the bag
and reseal it for protection. Some specialty media is packaged inside resealable plastic bags.
67Printing Basics
Supported Print Media
Using unsuitable print media may lead to paper jams, poor print quality, breakdown and damage to
your printer. To use the features of this printer effectively, use the suggested print media that is
recommended here.
IMPORTANT:
• The toner may come off the print media, if it gets wet by water, rain, steam and so on. For details, contact the
Fuji Xerox local representative office or an authorized dealer.
Printing Basics68
