Media Storage Guidelines

Providing a good environment, and safe handling and storage conditions for your paper and other media contributes to optimum print quality.

■Store paper in dark, cool, relatively dry locations. Most paper items are susceptible to damage from ultraviolet (UV) and visible light. UV radiation, which is emitted by the sun and fluorescent bulbs, is particularly damaging to paper items. The intensity and length of exposure to visible light on paper items should be reduced as much as possible.

■Maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity.

■Avoid light, heat, and dampness.

■Avoid attics, kitchens, garages, and basements for storing paper. Inside walls are drier than outside walls where moisture can collect.

■Store paper flat. Paper should be stored on pallets, cartons, shelves, or in cabinets.

■Avoid having food or drinks in the area where paper is stored or handled.

■Do not open sealed packages of paper until you are ready to load them into the system. Leave paper in the original packaging. For most commercial cut-size grades, the ream wrapper contains an inner lining that protects the paper from moisture loss or gain.

■Some specialty media is packaged inside resealable plastic bags. Leave the media inside the bag until you are ready to use it; reinsert unused media in the bag and reseal it for protection.

Media that May Damage Your System

Your system is designed to use a variety of media types for print and copy jobs. However, some media can cause poor output quality, increased paper jams, or damage to your system.

Unacceptable media for Trays 1–4 include:

■Rough or porous media

■Plastic media

■Paper that has been folded or wrinkled

■Paper that has been photocopied

■Paper with staples inserted

■Envelopes with windows, metal clasps, or adhesives with release strips

■Padded envelopes

■CD labels

■Media that is less than 60 g/m2 or more than 220 g/m2

C2424 specifications

The Xerox 2820/2840 All-in-One (AiO) and C2424 multifunction devices are designed to meet the diverse needs of modern offices and workgroups with a blend of functionality, reliability, and efficiency. Both models are particularly well-suited for small to medium-sized businesses requiring high-quality printing, copying, scanning, and faxing capabilities in a compact footprint.

The Xerox 2820 and 2840 AiO are monochrome models, while the C2424 offers color printing, catering to different business requirements. The 2820 provides print speeds of up to 28 pages per minute (ppm), making it suitable for high-volume tasks. On the other hand, the 2840 supports an impressive maximum print speed of 40 ppm, enabling faster workflow and increased productivity.

At the core of these devices is the advanced printing technology. They utilize a high-resolution printing mechanism that delivers sharp text and detailed graphics, ensuring professional-quality documents every time.
