Ordering Paper
To order paper or other media, contact your local reseller or visit
www.xerox.com/office/VLC500supplies.
General Paper Loading Guidelines
• Do not overfill the paper trays. Do not load paper above the maximum fill line in the
tray.
• Adjust the paper guides to fit the paper size.
• Fan paper before loading it in the paper tray.
• If excessive jams occur, use paper or other approved media from a new package.
• Do not print on label media after a label has been removed from a sheet.
• Use only paper envelopes. Print envelopes 1-sided only.
Paper That Can Damage Your Printer
Caution
Some paper and other media types can cause poor output quality, increased paper jams,
or damage your printer. Do not use the following media:
• Rough or porous paper
• Inkjet paper
• Non-laser glossy or coated paper
• Paper that has been photocopied
• Paper that has been folded or wrinkled
• Paper with cutouts or perforations
• Stapled paper
• Envelopes with windows, metal clasps, side seams, or adhesives with release strips
• Padded envelopes
• Plastic media
• Transparencies
Paper Storage Guidelines
Storing your paper and other media properly contributes to optimum print quality.
• Store paper in dark, cool, relatively dry locations. Most paper is susceptible to damage
from ultraviolet and visible light. Ultraviolet light, from the sun and fluorescent bulbs,
is particularly damaging to paper.
• Reduce the exposure of paper to strong lights for long periods of time.
• Maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity.
• Avoid storing paper in attics, kitchens, garages, or basements. These spaces are more
likely to collect moisture.
• Store paper flat, either on pallets, cartons, shelves, or in cabinets.
• Avoid food or drinks in the area where paper is stored or handled.
