PREINSTALLATION
Paper
Select your paper carefully; without the proper paper, the
probability of paper jams and misfeeds increases.
Acceptable paper stocks and sizes Your LPS can print on standard white, colored, predrilled, and
preprinted (for example, letterhead and forms) paper, labels, and
transparencies. They must meet the specifications set forth by
Xerox for operability in the LPS.
Reference Additional information about paper for your LPS can be found in
Helpful Facts About Paper.
Paper weights and grade For best results, use 20 pound/80 gsm (grams per square meter)
bond xerographic grade paper. Xerox 4024 Dual Purpose Paper
and Xerox 10 Series Dual Purpose Paper are specifically designed
for optimal performance in your LPS.
Reference Refer to the “Consumable supplies” table in the “Postinstallation”
chapter for a list
of papers and supplies.
Use paper within the following parameters:
Lightest: 20 pound/80 gsm
Heaviest: 110 pound/200 gsm
Your LPS accepts 8 1/2 by 11 inch, 8 1/2 by 14 inch, and A4 (210
by 297 mm) cut sheet paper.
Note: If you have a 4650 LPS, it is recommended that you use
Xerox 10 Series, or other high-quality paper, to receive optimum
quality for your applications.
Storing paper Paper has a tendency to curl when exposed to the heat that is
present inside xerographic equipment. Paper with low moisture
content curls less. Paper with excessive moisture content has a
tendency to jam because of the greater curl.
Note: The maximum recommended moisture content is 5.7%.
Paper is fed into the LPS with the long side as the leading edge.
The grain should be parallel with the long side (long grain) for
the most reliable feeding and stacking. Purchase long grain
paper.
Keep these points in mind when preparing your paper storage
area.
• Store paper in its own wrapper; do not leave it unwrapped or
where it can be damaged by dampness or heat.
• Store paper on a flat surface and not on its side or edge.
• Store reams of paper in a closed cabinet.
• Always store paper in a cool, dry area.
• Store paper on pallets or shelves, not on the floor.
• Keep a supply of paper designed to last several hours in the
same area as the printer to allow for the environmental
stabilization of the paper.
