Paper and Media ColorQube 8700/8900 Color Multifunction Printer 43 User Guide General Paper Loading Guidelines • Do not over fill the paper trays. Do not load paper above the maximum fill line in the tray. • Adjust the paper guides to fit the paper size. • Fan paper before loading it in the paper tray. • If excessive jams occur, use paper or other approved media from a new package. • Use only recommended Xerox ® transparencies. Print quality could vary with other transparencies. • Do not print on label media once a label has been removed from a sheet. • Use only paper envelopes. Print envelopes 1 -sided only. Paper That Can Damage Your Printer Some paper and other media types can cause poor output quality, increased paper jams, or damage your printer. Do not use the following: • Rough or porous paper • Inkjet paper • Non -laser glossy or coated paper • Paper that has been photocopied • Paper that has been folded or wrinkled • Paper with cutouts or perforations • Stapled paper • Envelopes with windows, metal clasps, side seams, or adhesives with release strips • Padded envelopes • Plastic media • Iron on transfer paper CAUTION: The Xerox® Warranty, Service Agreement, or Xerox® Total Satisfaction Guarantee does not cover damage caused by using unsupported paper or special media. The Xerox® Total Satisfaction Guarantee is available in the United States and Canada. Coverage could vary outside these areas. Contact your Xerox representative for details. Paper Storage Guidelines Storing your paper and other media properly contributes to optimum print quality. • Store paper in dark, cool, relatively dry locations. Most paper is susceptible to damage from ultraviolet and visible light. Ultraviolet light, from the sun and fluorescent bulbs, is particularl y damaging to paper. • Reduce the exposure of paper to strong lights for long periods of time. • Maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity. • Avoid storing paper in attics, kitchens, garages, or basements. These spaces are more likely to collect moist ure. • Store paper flat, either on pallets, cartons, shelves, or in cabinets. • Avoid food or drinks in the area where paper is stored or handled.
Paper and Media 44 ColorQube 8 700/8900 Color Multifunction Printer User Guide • Do not open sealed packages of paper until you are ready to load them into the printer. Leave stored paper in the original packaging. The paper wrapper protects the paper from moisture loss or gain. • Some special media is packaged inside resealable plastic bags. Store the media inside the bag until you are ready to use it. Keep unused media in the bag and reseal it fo r protection.
