Media hints |
|
Use high-grade media. For best reliability and image-quality, always use Xerox media. Refer to the printer's
User Guide
for ordering information. Do not use media designed for inkjet printers; it may damage the Fuser.
Media handling
-
Make sure that the media is dust-free. Dust and dirt can result in poor print quality.
-
Handle media with both hands at the edges to avoid creases and fingerprints.
-
Store media in the original, dust-free package in the same environmental conditions as the printer.
Double-sided printing
-
Automatic Duplex.
Use laser paper that is between 75 - 90 g/m2 (20 - 24 lb. bond) for opacity and feed reliability.
-
Manual Duplex with the Multi-Purpose tray.
Depending on the stiffness and smoothness of your laser paper, the printer handles paper up to 105 g/m2 (28 lb. bond). Buy a small amount first and try it.
-
Manual Duplex with specialty media.
For two-sided printing on specialty media (card stock and Xerox glossy coated paper), only use the Multi-Purpose Tray.
-
Duplex printing can reduce the life of the printer's components and may require more frequent printer cleaning.
If your printer has an Automatic Duplex/Lower Tray Assembly installed
-
Always place the Duplex Unit into the printer's
upper
slot.
-
Insert the transparency tray in the printer's
middle
tray slot.
-
Place the most frequently used paper in the paper tray and insert the tray in the printer's
lower
tray slot.
Specialty media
-
Always load specialty media (envelopes, laser labels, Xerox glossy coated paper, card stock) in the Multi-Purpose Tray.
-
Always set the Media Thickness Switch according to the media being used.
-
When printing labels or envelopes, make sure that you use only the recommended types; refer to
Loading specialty media in the Multi-Purpose Tray
for details.
