1.3 Image Printable Area and Assured Image Area

The printer defines "Image Printable Area" and "Assured Image Area" for printing.

Refer 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.

Note  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.

Important

Note

Refer

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

2.1.2Supported 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

Important can cause paper jams and image quality defects. Make sure the selected paper size, paper type, and paper weight are all correct.

Note

Paper weight 52 - 350 g/m2 can be loaded for some of the types although they are not supported; In this case the image quality and paper feed performance cannot be guaranteed. For coated paper, we only guarantee printing on paper weighing 72 g/m2 or heavier.

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.

Unsupported Paper

Do not use the following paper. It may damage the machine.

Inkjet paper

Business-card-size paper

Folded or wrinkled paper

Damp or wavy damp paper

12 mm or more curled paper

Thermal paper, Heat-transfer paper

Window envelope

2.1.3Storing and Handling Paper

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

Important 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.

Refer For detailed information about the Tray Air Assist, refer to "Stock Library" in the Stock Library Manager Manual.

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.

2.2 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

Note 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

Toner density

When the Offset Catch Tray becomes full, the machine detects it and stops running.

Refer 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.
