Paper Specifications
Overview
Your machine accepts a variety of print materials, such as cut-sheet paper (including 
up to 100% recycled fiber content paper), envelopes, labels, transparencies and 
custom-size paper. Properties, such as weight, composition, grain and moisture 
content, are important factors affecting the machine’s performance and the output 
quality. Paper that does not meet the guidelines outlined in this user’s guide can 
cause the following problems:
• Poor print quality
•Increased paper jams
• Premature wear on the machine.
NOTES: 
• Some paper may meet all of the guidelines in this guide 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 paper, insure the paper meets the requirements 
specified in this user’s guide. 
CAUTION: Using paper that does not meet these specifications may cause problems, 
requiring repairs. These repairs are not covered by the Xerox warranty or service 
agreements.

NOTE: You may experience jams when using print materials with a length of less than 
127 mm (5 in.). For optimum performance, ensure that you are storing and handling the 
paper correctly. Please refer to “Paper Storage Environment” on page E.8.
Guidelines for Using Paper
For the best result, use conventional 75 g/m2 (20 lb) paper. Ensure that the paper is 
of good quality, and free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, 
voids, and curled or bent edges.
If you are unsure of what type of paper you are loading, such as bond or recycled 
paper, check the label on the package.

NOTES: 
• Do not use letterhead paper printed with low-temperature inks, such as those used in 
some types of thermography.
• Do not use raised or embossed letterhead.
• The machine uses heat and pressure to fuse toner to the paper. Insure that any colored 
paper or preprinted forms use inks that are compatible with this fusing temperature 
(200 °C or 392 °F for 0.1 second).

Ideally, the machine and paper storage environment should be at or near room 
temperature, and not too dry or humid. Remember that paper is hygroscopic; it 
absorbs and loses moisture rapidly.
Heat works with humidity to damage paper. Heat causes the moisture in paper to 
evaporate, while cold causes it to condense on the sheets. Heating systems and air 
conditioners remove most of the humidity from a room. As paper is opened and used, 
it loses moisture, causing streaks and smudging. Humid weather or water coolers can 
cause the humidity to increase in a room. As paper is opened and used it absorbs any 
excess moisture, causing light print and dropouts. Also, as paper loses and gains 
moisture it can become distorted. This can cause paper jams.
Care should be taken not to purchase more paper than can be used in a short time 
(about 3 months). Paper stored for long periods may experience heat and moisture 
extremes, which can cause damage. Planning is important to prevent damage to 
large supplies of paper.
Unopened paper in sealed reams can remain stable for several months before use. 
Opened packages of paper have more potential for environment damage, especially 
if they are not wrapped with a moisture-proof barrier.
The paper storage environment should be properly maintained to ensure optimum 
performance. The required condition is 20 to 24 °C (68 to 75 °F), with a relative 
humidity of 45 % to 55 %. The following guidelines should be considered when 
evaluating the paper’s storage environment:
• Paper should be stored at or near room temperature.
• The air should not be too dry or too humid.
• The best way to store an opened ream of paper is to rewrap it tightly in its 
moisture-proof wrapping. If the machine environment is subject to extremes, 
unwrap only the amount of paper to be used during the day’s operation to prevent 
unwanted moisture changes.
Envelopes
Envelope construction is critical. Envelope fold lines can vary considerably, not only 
between manufacturers, but also within a box from the same manufacturer. 
Successful printing on envelopes depends upon the quality of the envelopes. When 
selecting envelopes, consider the following components:
• Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed 90g/m
2 (24lb) or 
jamming may occur.
• Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat with less than 6mm 
(0.25in.) 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 machine.

							SpecificationsE.10
• Size: You should only use envelopes within the following size ranges.
NOTES:
• Use only the manual feeder to print envelopes.
• You may experience some paper jams when using any media with a length less than 
140 mm 
(5.5 in.). This may be caused by paper that has been affected by 
environmental conditions. For optimum performance, make sure you are storing and 
handling the paper correctly. Please refer to “Paper Storage Environment” on page E.8.
Envelopes with Double Side Seams
Double side-seams construction has vertical seams at both ends of the envelope 
rather than diagonal seams. This style may be more likely to wrinkle. Be sure the 
seam extends all the way to the corner of the envelope as illustrated below.
Envelopes with Adhesive Strips or Flaps
Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than one flap that folds over to 
seal must use adhesives compatible with the heat and pressure in the machine. The 
extra flaps and strips might cause wrinkling, creasing or even jams and may even 
damage the fuser.

NOTES:
• For the best print quality, position margins no closer than 15 mm (0.6 in.) from the 
edges of the envelope.
• Avoid printing over the area where the envelope’s seams meet.
Envelope Storage
Proper storage of envelopes helps contribute to print quality. Envelopes should be 
stored flat. If air is trapped in an envelope, creating an air bubble, then the envelope 
may wrinkle during printing.
Labels
CAUTIONS: 
• To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels recommended for laser printers.
• To prevent serious jams, always use the manual feeder to print labels and always use 
the rear output tray.
• Never print on the same sheet of labels more than once and never print on a partial 
sheet of labels.
When selecting labels, consider the quality of each component:
• Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at 180°C (356°F), the 
machine’s fusing temperature.
• Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed backing between them. Labels can 
peel off sheets with spaces between the labels, causing serious jams.
• Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with no more than 13mm (5in.) of curl in 
any direction.
• Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles or other indications of 
separation.
Transparencies
Transparencies used in the machine must be able to withstand 180°C (356°F), the 
machine’s fusing temperature.
CAUTION: To avoid damaging the machine, use only transparencies recommended for 
use in laser printers.
