About Print Media
This section includes:
• "Print Media Usage Guidelines" on page 57
• "Print Media That Can Damage Your Printer" on page 58
• "Print Media Storage Guidelines" on page 59
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 Basics 56
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.
• 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.

57 Printing 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 Basics 58
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.
59 Printing 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.

used. Setting the wrong size for printing can cause printer failure. This is especially true if you configure a
bigger size when using a narrow width paper.
• Using the Windows Print Driver
On the Windows print driver, set the custom size in the Custom Paper Size dialog box. This section
explains the procedure using Windows XP as an example.
For Windows XP or later, an administrator’s password only allows users with administrator rights to

range. The length of the long edge cannot be shorter than the short edge, even if it is within the
specified range.

Troubleshooting 98
Avoiding Jams
• Use only recommended print media.
• See "Loading Print Media in the Multipurpose Feeder (MPF)" on page 66 to load print media
properly.
• Do not overload the print media sources. Ensure that the stacked print media height does not
exceed the marks indicated on the paper width guides.
• Do not load wrinkled, creased, damp, or curled print media.
• Flex, fan, and straighten print media before you load it. If a jam occurs with print media, try
feeding one sheet at a time through the multipurpose feeder (MPF).
• Do not use print media that you have cut or trimmed.
• Do not mix print media sizes, weights, or types in the same print media source.
• Ensure that the recommended print side is face up when you insert the print media.
• Keep print media stored in an acceptable environment.
• Ensure that all cables that connect to the printer are correctly attached.
• Overtightening the guides may cause jams.
