Image Printable Area
Assured Image Area
Image Printable Area and Assured Image Area
The printer defines "Image Printable Area" and "Assured Image Area" for printing.
For detailed information about the supported paper size, refer to "2.1.2 Supported Paper" (p.18).
Image Printable Area
Image Printable Area is the area where the printer can print.
In the area close to boundary of printable area, image or text printed may become slightly blur but does
not give impacts if printing crop marks or color patches.
Assured Image Area
Assured Image Area is the area where Fuji Xerox assures image quality.
When an image with high area coverage is placed in the area described above, Fusing Unit jam may be
caused.
High temperature and high pressure on the Fusing Unit may cause the paper to expand or contract.
Regardless of size, there are some areas where printer cannot print on the lead, tail, top and bottom of a
paper.

The printed image may fade or damaged due to moisture caused by water, rain, or vapor. For information,

Note
Important
contact your local Fuji Xerox representative.
Even if you use recommended paper types, however, please note that they do not necessarily yield the
optimum print results depending on the environment where the printer is installed (room temperature,
humidity, and others), and/or on the print data.
If you are running a large print job, we recommend that you print some sample sets to check the print
quality before you continue to the remaining.
The print system fuses toner images on paper by applying heat. Therefore, a certain amount of expansion
and contraction can occur on any type of paper.
Ballpoint inks and water-color inks may hard to penetrate into the surface of printed paper.
Adhesive materials such as tapes, sticky notes, and book binding adhesives may come unglued quickly on
printed paper.
White dots or white areas may appear on the output due to paper dust, small coating pieces, or other foreign materials.
Performance of preprinted paper depends on types of preprint. Before running a job, please test preprinted
paper and ensure its output quality and running performance.
For detailed information about the Stock Library, refer to "Stock Library" in the Stock Library Manager Man-
ual.
2.1.2 Supported Paper
Below is the list of paper sizes available for printing by setting paper properties with Stock Library Manager.
If you load paper whose paper properties are different from those currently being set for the specified Tray, it

case the image quality and paper feed performance cannot be guaranteed. For coated paper, we only
guarantee printing on paper weighing 72 g/m
For Bypass Tray, paper weight 301 - 350 g/m2 can be loaded but the image quality and paper feed performance cannot be guaranteed.
When loading coated paper (coated, cast coated, matte coated), transparencies or films into the Tray
other than High Capacity Tray, make sure you load one sheet at a time.
If two or more sheets are loaded, the image quality and paper feed performance will not be not guaranteed.
Paper weight means the weight of a paper in gram per 1 square meter (g/m2).
For information on supported transparency, contact your local Fuji Xerox representative.
Transparency having a white strip on the edge is not supported.
For 2-sided print jobs where both front and back sides contain toner density, use 115 g/m2 or heavier paper.

[Ordered/Sequenced] is a set of multiple papers as same as the precut tab. When you select [Ordered/
Sequenced] or [Precut tab], enter the number of papers in a set in [Modules].
When you print a set of paper consists of 5 sheets, enter "5" in [Modules], and if the paper jam occurred on
the 3rd paper of the set, the 4th, 5th, next 1st, and next 2nd papers are purged (ejected without printing),
and the 3rd paper of the next set is printed.

2.1.3 Storing and Handling Paper
Important
Refer
Storing Paper
Paper is easy to get moist by the open air and to be deformed by the impact. Therefore, be sure to note
the following:
Store paper inside a cabinet or other dry places. Paper that has absorbed moisture can cause paper
jams and image quality defects.
After unpacking the paper, store any remaining paper in the wrapper.
Store paper flat to prevent from bending or warping.
Keep papers out of direct sunlight.
Handling Paper
Do not load a bunch of sheets that were once separate and then put together.
Do not use folded or wrinkled paper.
Do not load mixed sizes or types together into the Tray.
Fan Transparencies, films, or coated paper well before loading in a Tray. These types of paper may be
jammed or multifeed (multiple sheets transferred simultaneously). Also, setting Tray Air Assist feature
may help improving its feeding performance when using High Capacity Tray.
Paper absorbs moisture if the paper is left in a Tray for a long time under highly humid conditions. Paper
with excessive moisture may cause paper jams and image quality defects when it goes through the
machine. It is recommended to remove all such paper from the Tray, and replace it with fresh paper.
Do not use damp paper, paper left unwrapped for long periods of time, and/or paper having excessive curl.
For detailed information about the Tray Air Assist, refer to "Stock Library" in the Stock Library Manager Man-
ual.
Removing Paper Dust
Edges of a paper may have paper dust or coating materials
generated during a paper cutting process.
Before loading paper in a Tray, remove paper dust and coating
materials from paper edges using a vacuum cleaner or dry
cloth.

Output Paper
Offsetting
When offsetting is enabled, each set of printed paper is staggered
in the output tray so that you can separate the stack easily.
Enable offsetting on Print Server.
Offsetting is disabled when:
Sheets 297.1 mm portrait or larger and 181.9 mm portrait or smaller.
Offset is performed only when the paper length (portrait) is in a range between 182 and 297 mm.
Sheets 488.1 mm landscape or larger
The Offset Catch Tray offers a capacity of 500 sheets (A4 , Colotech+90, 1-sided job). Please note, however,
the capacity may be reduced depending on the following conditions.
Size of paper, Weight of paper
Types of paper (such as coated/uncoated) and the degree to which the paper is curled
2-sided printing
Ton e r de ns i t y
When the Offset Catch Tray becomes full, the machine detects it and stops running.
For detailed information on capacities of High Capacity Stacker Output tray and Finisher Output tray, refer to
the relevant chapters describing these units in the Optional Units Manual.
Purge Function
The sheets are ejected to the Offset Catch Tray or Output tray on optional units when they are in mid-flow
being fed, before paper jam causes the machine to stop. Also, after the jammed papers are removed, the
remaining sheets in the machine are ejected to the Offset Catch Tray (or to the Output tray closer to the
printer unit if any optional units are installed).
Do not reuse the sheets ejected by the Purge function, as this may cause paper jams.
