Tray and Media Usage Guidelines
The system trays accommodate most sizes and types of paper, transparencies, or other
specialty media.
■ Do not overload the paper tray. Do not load paper above the fill line on the inside of the
paper guide.
■ Adjust the paper guides to fit the paper size. For Trays 2, 3, and 4, the paper guides click
into place when they are adjusted correctly.
■ If excessive jams occur, use paper, transparencies, or other specialty media from a new
package.
■ Custom size paper can be printed only from Tray 1.
■ Xerox Professional Solid Ink Photo Paper, Xerox Professional Solid Ink Glossy Paper, and
Xerox Professional Solid Ink Trifold Brochures, can be printed from any tray, although
they exceed the recommended weight guidelines for Trays 2–4.
■ Use Xerox Professional Solid Ink Transparencies; print quality may vary with other
transparencies.
■ When printing photos, postcards, or brochures, some attention to stacking in the output
tray may be required.

Supported Media
■ Use only paper envelopes. Do not use envelopes with windows, metal clasps, or adhesives
with release strips.
■ Do not print CD labels in this system.
■ When using pre-punched paper, load the paper so that the holes are on the right side of the
tray. Adjust print and copy margins to accommodate the pre-punched holes.
Duplex Automatic Document Feeder Guidelines
The document feeder accommodates original sizes from 114 x 140 mm (4.5 x 5.5 in.) to
216 x 356 mm (8.5 x 14.0 in.), with weights within the following range:
2
60–120 g/m
Follow these guidelines when loading originals into the document feeder:
(16–32 lb. Bond) (22–45 lb. Cover).
Videos are available with instructions for using the document feeder. Videos are
located on the User Documentation CD-ROM and at www.xerox.com/office/
c2424support.
■ Load originals faceup, so the top of the document enters first.
■ Place only loose sheets of paper in the document feeder.
■ Adjust the paper guides so they fit against the originals.
■ Insert paper in the document feeder only when the ink on the paper is completely dry.
Use the glass rather than the document feeder to copy or scan the following types of originals:
■ Paper with paper clips or staples attached
■ Paper with wrinkles, curls, folds, tears, or notches
■ Coated or carbonless paper, transparencies, or items other than paper such as cloth or
metal
■ Envelopes
