If you are an Australian consumer, you should be aware that the Trade Practices Act 1974
and equivalent State and Territory legislation (collectively "the Acts") contain special
provisions designed to protect Australian consumers. Nothing in any Fuji Xerox warranty
material excludes or limits the application of any provision of any of the Acts, where to do
so would contravene the Acts or cause any part of this warranty to be void. In this
warranty material, an implied condition or warranty, the exclusion of which from a
contract with a "Consumer" (as defined in the Acts) would contravene any provision of the
Acts or cause any part or all of this warranty to be void, is called a "Non-excludable
Condition". To the full extent permitted by law, Fuji Xerox’s sole and total liability to the
customer for a breach of any Non-excludable Condition (including for any consequential
loss suffered by the customer) is limited, except as otherwise stated herein, to (at Fuji
Xerox’ option) replacing or repairing the goods, or resupplying, or paying the cost of the
resupply of, the services, in respect of which the breach occurred. Subject to the above, all
conditions and warranties which would or might otherwise be implied in a Consumer
contract, whether by operation of statute, inference from circumstances, industry practice
or otherwise, are excluded.

Convenience Features
SnapColor
The SnapColor feature provides the optimum settings for documents with both graphics
and text. This produces the best output for most documents.
Fax Friendly
The Fax Friendly feature changes your color document to patterns of black and white so
that it can be used as a fax original or for black and white copying.
Automatic Transparency Detection
The printer detects transparencies and optimizes the printing process to ensure the best
possible print quality. Transparencies can only be printed from Tray 1 or the Multi-sheet
Bypass Feeder (MBF). Use only Phaser 35 series transparencies.
Front Cover Different
Prints the first page of your document from a different paper tray than the remaining
pages. This permits you to specify the media size and type for the front cover page of a
document.
Separator Pages
Inserts a blank separator sheet after each printed page or transparency. Job separators are
available using the Windows 9x/ME/2000 driver. Job separators are placed at the end of
each job. Separator pages can be taken from a different paper tray than the printed pages.
Secure Print
Use for printing confidential documents. Requires installation of the optional hard disk
drive. Automatically holds your password-protected document within the hard disk drive.
When you're ready to print your job, you go to the front panel and release the job for
printing by entering the corresponding four-digit numeric password. Once the file is
printed, it is automatically deleted from the hard disk drive.
Proof Print
Print and proof a single copy of a document before printing the remaining copies. Requires
installation of the optional hard disk drive. The remaining sets are held in the printer's
hard disk drive until you release the job for printing at the front panel by entering the
corresponding four-digit numeric password.

Selecting Print Media
This chapter will help you understand what kinds of paper and other print media to use
with the printer and also how to properly position the media in the printer’s paper trays.
The printer supports a variety of media types and sizes.
■
Supported media and media sizes on page 15 lists the sizes of paper, envelopes and
other print media for use with the printer’s paper trays.
■
The printer supports weights of paper as follows:
■
60-176 g/m2 (16-47 lb. bond) via the standard and optional paper trays
■
60-203 g/m2 (16-54 lb. bond) via the Multi-sheet Bypass Feeder (MBF)
■
75-105 g/m2 (20-28 lb. bond) for automatic 2-sided printing via the MBF
■
Media especially sensitive to curl (transparencies, labels, etc.) should be output to the
face-up bin at the rear of the printer instead of to the standard face-down bin on top of
the printer.
■
To use the printer’s automatic 2-sided printing capability:
■
The optional duplex module must be installed.
■
Only media with a weight from 75 to 105 g/m2 (20-28 lb. bond) should be used. All other
media weights must be printed 1-sided.
Note
Do not attempt 2-sided printing on transparencies, labels, envelopes, postcards,
card stock or glossy paper. The Multi-sheet Bypass Feeder will not feed media
heavier than 28 lb. bond paper.
■
The paper must feed from a 530-sheet tray (Tray 1, Tray 2 or Tray 3). If paper is fed from
the Multi-Sheet Bypass Feeder, it may not be printed 2-sided automatically, but may be
printed 2-sided manually.
■
Use only Xerox Phaser 35 Series transparencies as other transparencies may cause
damage to the fuser. Any damage caused due to the use of unsupported media will
not be covered by your printer’s warranty.
