Xerox 100, 155, 135, 115 manual Supplies, US Ledger/US Tabloid 11 by 17 inches / 279 by 432 mm

Supplies

•US Ledger/US Tabloid: 11 by 17 inches / 279 by 432 mm

•A3: 11.69 by 16.54 inches / 297 by 420 mm

Recommended Use a good quality, xerographic-grade paper. For best results, weight and grade use paper that is 20-pound or 80 gsm (grams per square meter)

bond, xerographic grade. Xerox 4024 Dual Purpose Paper provides optimal performance in the printer. (Refer to the consumable supplies table later in this appendix.)

Use paper within these parameters:

•Lightest: 16-pound (65 gsm) bond

•Heaviest: 110-pound (200 gsm) index

Characteristics The paper stock should have the following characteristics:

•Low moisture content (a paper-to-moisture ratio below 5.7 percent). Paper with higher moisture content may curl and jam.

•Smooth surface

•Moisture-resistant wrapping

•No defects (bent edges, uneven surfaces)

•Grain long (parallel with the long side of paper)

Paper is usually fed into the printer with the long side as the leading edge (except 11 by 17-inch or A3 paper). When you purchase paper, buy long-grain paper. Make sure the grain is parallel with the long side (long-grain) for the most reliable feeding and stacking.

Special stocks Following are some guidelines for choosing and using special materials:

•Labels: Must be the type designed for high-speed printers and must meet the specifications described in the section above. Loading instructions are printed on all paper trays.

Use only the processor feeding trays (trays 1 and 2) for labels. Load labels in the tray with the label side up.

You can direct printed labels to any output tray. Be sure the printed labels are stacked face up in the output tray, to avoid ink offsetting and jams due to delamination.
