NOTE
To assure the correct page margins, use the drivers supplied on the printer's CD-ROM.

Media hints


CAUTION
Do not use any media designed for inkjet printers, especially inkjet coated paper and inkjet transparencies. Inkjet media is coated with a substance that will damage the fuser; Xerox does not furnish service for damage or malfunction caused by the use of non-Xerox supplies or consumables. Always use Xerox media that has been specially designed for use with Xerox Laser Printers.

  • For the best print quality, load only paper in the paper tray and Xerox transparencies in the transparency tray.
  • When printing a large number of sheets of paper or transparencies, use the media-specific trays for best reliability.
  • If you have the Automatic Duplex/Lower Tray Assembly:
    • Insert the Duplex Unit only in the upper ( a ) slot.
    • Insert the transparency tray only into the middle ( b ) tray slot.
    • Insert the Paper tray into the middle ( b ) or lower ( c ) slot.
  • Always use the Multi-Purpose Tray ( d ) for specialty media.
  •  

  • When using the Multi-Purpose Tray, always select the appropriate media type in the front panel after loading the media.
  • When you select a media tray by location ( Upper, Middle, Lower, Multi-Purpose Tray ), the printer picks from that tray, regardless of the tray's media type or size.
  • Always keep media in a sealed package to avoid the effects of moisture and dryness, which can affect print quality.

NOTE
For details on automatic duplex printing, refer to Automatic duplex.
