Xante 3 Series warranty Media Types, Printing on Custom Sized Media

Printing on Custom Sized Media

Always use the appropriate feed source for the size and type media you are using, following the procedure in chapter 2 or in “Media Sources” later in this chapter.

Set the custom page size through your application. Make sure that paper size selections in the page or document setup section agree with those in the Print dialog box to ensure that the page prints correctly.

Caution: Do not use the optional duplexer when printing on custom sized media.

Additional RAM is required to print oversized media, particularly at high resolutions. See “Printer Memory Requirements” in chapter 9.

If a virtual memory error occurs, there is not enough printer memory to process the job. In this case, try adding memory to your printer, printing at a lower resolution, or using only printer resident fonts.

Media Types

Your printer supports paper, envelopes, film media, labels, and transparencies with weights from 16 - 36 lb bond (60 - 135 g/m2). The duplexer supports 16 - 28 lb bond (60 - 105 g/m2) weight paper. See “Media Sources” later in this chapter about which media source to use with specific media types and weights. Chapter 8, “Printing with Various Media Types,” covers specifics for printing on film, envelopes, transparencies, and labels.

Media used in your printer should meet the guidelines for selecting and storing media covered earlier in this chapter. To save on media costs, test a sample of new media before buying in quantity. Run a test print on plain paper to check layout and alignment before using more expensive stock.

Caution: Do not use the duplexer when printing on transparencies,

Myriad film, envelopes, postcards, or labels.
