Paper That Can Damage Your Printer
Your printer is designed to use a variety of  media types for print jobs. However, some media 
can cause poor output quality, increased pa per jams, or damage to your printer.
Unacceptable media includes:
■Rough or porous media, such as inkjet paper
■Plastic media
■Paper that has been folded or wrinkled
■Paper that has been photocopied
■Paper with staples
■Carbonless paper
■Envelopes with windows, metal clasps, or adhesives with release strips
■Padded envelopes
■Non-laser glossy paper
■Transparencies other than the Xero x Digital Color Clear Transparencies
■Label stock that has one or more labels removed from a sheet
■Media that is less than 75 g/m2 (20 lb. Bond) or more than 255 g/m2 (90 lb. Cover)
■Embossed, coated, or pre-printed paper with  heat tolerances below 210° C (322° F)
■Media that melts, offsets, or discolors at temperatures less than 210° C (322° F) for 
0.2 seconds.

Paper Storage Guidelines
Providing good storage conditions for your pa per and other media contributes to optimum 
print quality.
■Store paper in dark, cool, relatively dry lo cations. Most paper items are susceptible to 
damage from ultraviolet (UV) and visible light . UV radiation, which is emitted by the sun 
and fluorescent bulbs, is partic ularly damaging to paper items. The intensity and length of 
exposure to visible light on paper items should be reduced as much as possible.
■Maintain constant temperatur es and relative humidity.
■Avoid attics, kitchens, garages, and basements fo r storing paper. Inside walls are drier than 
outside walls where moisture can collect. 
■Store paper flat. Paper should be stored 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 yo u are ready to load them into the printer. 
Leave paper in the original packaging. Fo r most commercial cut-size grades, the ream 
wrapper contains an inner lining that protec ts the paper from moisture loss or gain.
■Leave the media inside the bag until you are r eady to use it; reinsert unused media in the 
bag and reseal it for protection. Some specialty  media is packaged inside resealable plastic 
bags.
