Using paper that is not appropriate for the printer can cause paper jams, image quality problems, or printer failure.
To achieve the best performance from your printer, we recommend you to use only the paper described in this
section.
When using paper other than that recommended, contact the Fuji Xerox local representative office or an authorised
dealer.
Print Media Usage Guidelines
The printer tray accommodates various sizes and types of paper and other specialty media. Follow these guidelines
when loading paper and media in the tray:
• Envelopes can be printed from the bypass tray.
• Fan paper or other specialty media before loading in the paper tray.
• Labels can be printed from the bypass tray.
• Do not print on label stock once a label has been removed from a sheet.
• Use only paper envelopes. Do not use envelopes with windows, metal clasps, or adhesives with release strips.
• Print all envelopes single-sided only.
• Some wrinkling and embossing may occur when printing envelopes.
• Do not overload the paper tray. Do not load print media above the fill line on the inside of the width guides.
• Adjust the width guides to fit the paper size.
• If excessive jams or wrinkles occur, use paper or other media from a new package.

occurs, it may cause short-circuit and eventually a fire accident.
