Every effort has been made to ensure that the Press supports a broad range of media. Using only Xerox-recommended media helps
maximize reliability and paper-handling performance. Furthermore, use of the Centerline papers is recommended to help ensure that you
receive the best image quality from your Press.
Typically, heavy weight papers exhibit increased variability of formation and surface smoothness, which may result in degraded image
quality.
Paper from all trays is printed topside first. It is recommended that Xerox branded paper be loaded with ream wrapper seam-side up.
Manufacturers of coated stock do not recommend use of their media when the ambient relative humidity exceeds 60%. Relative humidity
greater than 40% may increase the misfeed rate from Trays 1, 2, 3 and 5 (Bypass).
All paper stretches to a certain extent during printing. The amount of stretch is dependent on paper type and environmental conditions.
Stretch is most noticeable on coated stocks. This stretch can affect front-to-back image registration. Use the Alignment Profiles feature with
the SIQA tool to minimize this effect.
Image registration, image quality (for example white spots), and machine reliability can be adversely affected when custom-cut paper is
inaccurately cut, is of poor quality, or loose paper fibers are present on the cut edges.
Image registration, image quality (for example white spots), jam frequency and machine reliability can be adversely affected when
punched or drilled paper is of poor quality and/or loose hole plugs are present in the ream.
For further information and recommendations regarding media testing, selections, and handling, refer to the Recommended Media List (RML)
available from your Xerox representative or downloaded at www.xerox.com.
