PREINSTALLATION
Paper
You need to select your paper carefully; without the proper paper, you increase the probability of paper jams and misfeeds.
Your LPS can print on standard white, colored, predrilled, and preprinted (that is, letterhead and forms) paper, labels, and transparencies. They must meet the specifications set forth by Xerox for operability in the LPS. Additional information about paper for your LPS can be found in your Xerox DocuPrint 96/DocuPrint 96MX Laser Printing System Operator Guide.

The DocuPrint 96/DocuPrint 96MX accepts paper sizes as small as 8 by 10 inches/203 mm by 254 mm. Larger paper sizes, such as 11 by 17 inches/297 by 432 mm, A3 (297 by 420 mm/11.69 by 16.54 inches) and B4 (257 by 364 mm/10.12 by 14.33 inches), can also be fed.
Paper has a tendency to curl under 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 percent.
Paper is fed into the LPS with the long side as the leading edge. (A3 and 11- by
