•Paper Storage Guidelines on page 56
Your printer is designed to be used with a variety of media types. Follow the guidelines in this section to 
ensure the best print quality and to avoid jams. 
For best results, use Xerox printing media specified for your Phaser 7500 printer. 
Recommended Media
A complete regularly updated list of recommended media types is available:
•www.xerox.com/paper Recommended Media List (United States)
•www.xerox.com/europaper Recommended Media List (Europe)
You can also print a summary of supported media (the Paper Tips information page) directly from the 
printer.
Ordering Media
To order paper, transparencies, or other specialty media, contact your local reseller or go to: 
www.xerox.com/office/7500supplies.
Caution:Damage caused by using unsupported paper, transparencies, and other specialty media 
is not covered by the Xerox warranty, service agreement, or Total Satisfaction Guarantee. The Total 
Satisfaction Guarantee is available in the United States and Canada. Coverage may vary outside 
these areas; please contact your local representative for details.
General Media Loading Guidelines
Follow these guidelines when loading paper and media in the appropriate trays:
• Use only recommended Xerox transparencies; print quality may vary with other transparencies.

Media That Can Damage Your Printer
Your printer is designed to use a variety of paper and media types for print and copy jobs. However, 
some media can cause poor output quality, increased paper jams, or damage to your printer. 
Do not use the following:
• Rough or porous media
• 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 other than supported transparencies
Paper Storage Guidelines
Providing good storage conditions for your paper and other media contributes to optimum print 
quality.
• Store paper in dark, cool, relatively dry locations. Most paper is susceptible to damage from 
ultraviolet (UV) and visible light. UV radiation, which is emitted by the sun and fluorescent bulbs, is 
particularly damaging to paper items. The intensity and length of exposure to visible light on 
paper should be reduced as much as possible.
• Maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity.
• Avoid storing paper in attics, kitchens, garages, or basements. These spaces are more likely to 
collect moisture.
• Store paper flat, either on pallets, cartons, shelves, or in cabinets.
• Avoid having food or drinks in the area where paper is stored or handled.
• Do not open sealed packages of paper until you are ready to load them into the printer. Leave 
stored paper in the original packaging. For most commercial-cut size grades, the ream wrapper 
contains an inner lining that protects the paper from moisture loss or gain.
• Some specialty 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 for protection.
