•  If the button backlight is off, the mode is disabled and the printer prints 
in normal mode.
From the software application
You can set toner save mode from the printer properties window on your 
printer driver. See the Software Section.

5 Loading print media
This chapter will help you understand types of paper you can use with 
your printer and how to properly load paper in the different paper trays 
for the best print quality. 
This chapter includes:
• Selecting print media
• Loading paper
• Selecting an output location
Selecting print media
You can print on a variety of print media, such as plain paper, envelopes, 
labels, and transparencies. Always use print media that meet the 
guidelines for use with your printer. Print media that does not meet the 
guidelines outlined in this user’s guide may cause the following 
problems:
•  Poor print quality
•  Increased paper jams
•  Premature wear on the printer.
Properties, such as weight, composition, grain, and moisture content, 
are important factors that affect the printer’s performance and the output 
quality. When you choose print materials, consider the following:
•  Desired outcome: The print media you choose should be appropriate 
for your project.
•  Size: You can use any size media that fits easily within the paper 
adjusters of the paper tray.
•  Weight: Your printer supports print media weights as follows:
-  16 to 24 lb bond (60 to 90 g/m
2) for the tray 1 and optional tray 2
-  16 to 43 lb bond (60 to 163 g/m2)  for the multi-purpose tray 
-  20 to 24 lb (75 to 90 g/m2) for the duplex printing
•  Brightness: Some print media are whiter than others and produce 
sharper, more vibrant images.
•  Surface smoothness: The smoothness of the print media affects how 
crisp the printing looks on the paper.
Notes
• Some print media may meet all of the guidelines in this 
section and still not produce satisfactory results. This may be 
the result of improper handling, unacceptable temperature 
and humidity levels, or other variables over which Xerox
 has 
no control.
• Before purchasing large quantities of print media, ensure that 
it meets the requirements specified in this user’s guide. 
Caution
Using print media that does not meet these specifications may 
cause problems, requiring repairs. Such repairs are not 
covered by Xerox’s warranty or service agreements.

Guidelines for selecting and storing print media
When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other print materials, 
keep these guidelines in mind:
•  Always use print media that conform with the specifications listed on 
page 5.3.
•  Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper can cause 
paper jams and poor print quality.
•  For the best print quality, use only high quality copier grade paper 
specifically recommended for use in laser printers.
•  Avoid using the following media types:
-  Paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or a texture that is too 
smooth or too rough
-  Erasable bond paper
-  Multi-paged paper
-  Synthetic paper and thermally reactive paper
-  Carbonless paper and Tracing paper. 
•  Use of these types of paper could result in paper jams, chemical 
smells, and damage to your printer.
•  Store print media in its ream wrapper until you are ready to use it. 
Place cartons on pallets or shelves, not on the floor. Do not place 
heavy objects on top of the paper, whether it is packaged or 
unpackaged. Keep it away from moisture or other conditions that can 
cause it to wrinkle or curl.
•  Store unused print media at temperatures between 15
o C and 30o C 
(59o F to 86o F). The relative humidity should be between 10% and 
70%.
•  Store unused print media in a moisture-proof wrap, such as a plastic 
container or bag, to prevent dust and moisture from contaminating 
your paper.
•  Load special media types one sheet at a time through the multi-
purpose tray to avoid paper jams.
•  To prevent print media, such as transparencies and label sheets, from 
sticking together, remove them as they print out.
Guidelines for special print media
Media typeGuidelines
Envelopes• Successful printing on envelopes depends upon 
the quality of the envelopes. When selecting 
envelopes, consider the following factors:
-  Weight: The weight of the envelope paper 
should not exceed 90 g/m
2 (24 lb) or jamming 
may occur.
-  Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes 
should lie flat with less than 6 mm 
(0.25 inches) curl, and should not contain air.
-  Condition: Envelopes should not be wrinkled, 
nicked, or otherwise damaged.
-  Temperature: You should use envelopes that 
are compatible with the heat and pressure of 
the printer during operation.
• Use only well-constructed envelopes with sharp 
and well creased folds.
• Do not use stamped envelopes.
• Do not use envelopes with clasps, snaps, 
windows, coated lining, self-adhesive seals, or 
other synthetic materials.
• Do not use damaged or poorly made envelopes.
• Be sure the seam at both ends of the envelope 
extends all the way to the corner of the 
envelope.
• Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with 
more than one flap that folds over to seal must 
use adhesives compatible with the printer’s 
fusing temperature of 200° C (392° F) for 
0.1 second. The extra flaps and strips might 
cause wrinkling, creasing, or jams, and may 
even damage the fuser.
• For the best print quality, position margins no 
closer than 15 mm (0.6 inches) from the edges 
of the envelope.
• Avoid printing over the area where the 
envelope’s seams meet.
