Selecting Paper
Pa p e r G u i d e l i n e s
Use the appropriate paper to prevent jams and help ensure trouble-free printing.
• Always use new, undamaged paper.
• Before loading paper, know the recommended printable side of the paper. This information is
usually indicated on the paper package.
• Do not use paper that has been cut or trimmed by hand.
• Do not mix paper sizes, types, or weights in the same tray; mixing results in jams.
• Do not use coated papers unless they are specifically designed for electrophotographic printing.
Pa p e r C h a r a c t e r i s t i c s
The following paper characteristics affect print quality and reliability. Consider these factors before
printing on them.
We i g h t
The trays can feed paper weights from 60 to 176g/m2 (16 to 47 lb) grain long paper. Paper lighter
than 60g/m2 (16lb) may not be stiff enough to feed properly, and may cause jams.
Curl
Curl is the tendency for paper to curl at its edges. Excessive curl can cause paper feeding problems.
Curl can occur after the paper passes through the printer, where it is exposed to high temperatures.
Storing paper unwrapped in hot, humid, cold, or dry conditions can contribute to paper curling before
printing and can cause feeding problems.
Smoothness
Paper smoothness directly affects print quality. If paper is too rough, toner cannot fuse to it properly.
If paper is too smooth, it can cause paper feeding or print quality issues. We recommend the use of
paper with 50 Sheffield points.
M o i s t u r e Co n t e n t
The amount of moisture in paper affects both print quality and the printer ability to feed the paper
correctly. Leave paper in its original wrapper until you use it. Exposure of paper to moisture changes
can degrade its performance.
Store paper in its original wrapper in the same environment as the printer for 24 to 48 hours before
printing. Extend the time several days if the storage or transportation environment is very different
from the printer environment. Thick paper may also require a longer conditioning period.
G ra i n D i r e c t i o n
Grain refers to the alignment of the paper fibers in a sheet of paper. Grain is either grain long,
running the length of the paper, or grain short, running the width of the paper.
For 60–176g/m2(16–47-lb) paper, grain long paper is recommended.
F i b e r Co n t e n t
Most high-quality xerographic paper is made from 100 percent chemically treated pulped wood. This
content provides the paper with a high degree of stability, resulting in fewer paper feeding problems
and better print quality. Paper containing fibers such as cotton can negatively affect paper handling.
U n a c c e p t a b l e Pa p e r
The following paper types are not recommended for use with the printer:
• Chemically treated papers used to make copies without carbon paper, also known as carbonless
papers, carbonless copy paper (CCP), or no carbon required (NCR) paper
• Preprinted papers with chemicals that may contaminate the printer
• Preprinted papers that can be affected by the temperature in the printer fuser
• Preprinted papers that require a registration (the precise print location on the page) greater than
±2.3 mm (±0.9 in.), such as optical character recognition (OCR) forms
In some cases, registration can be adjusted with a software application to successfully print on
these forms.
• Coated papers (erasable bond), synthetic papers, thermal papers
• Rough-edged, rough or heavily textured surface papers, or curled papers
• Recycled papers that fail EN12281:2002 (European)
• Paper weighing less than 60 g/m2 (16 lb)
• Multiple-part forms or documents
S t o r i n g Pa p e r
Use these paper storage guidelines to help avoid jams and uneven print quality:
• Store paper in its original wrapper in the same environment as the printer for 24 to 48 hours
before printing.
• Extend the time several days if the storage or transportation environment is very different from
the printer environment. Thick paper may also require a longer conditioning period.
• For best results, store paper where the temperature is 21°C (70°F) and the relative humidity is 40
percent.
• Most label manufacturers recommend printing in a temperature range of 18–24°C (65–75°F) with
relative humidity between 40 and 60 percent.
• Store paper in cartons, on a pallet or shelf, rather than on the floor.
• Store individual packages on a flat surface.
S e l e c t i n g Pr e p r i n t e d Fo r m s a n d Le t t e r h e a d
• Use grain long paper.
• Use only forms and letterhead printed using an offset lithographic or engraved printing process.
• Avoid paper with rough or heavily textured surfaces.
• Use inks that are not affected by the resin in toner. Inks that are oxidation-set or oil-based
generally meet these requirements; latex inks might not.
• Print samples on preprinted forms and letterheads considered for use before buying large
quantities. This action determines whether the ink in the preprinted form or letterhead affects
print quality.
• When in doubt, contact your paper supplier.
• When printing on letterhead, load the paper in the proper orientation for your printer. For more
information, see the Paper and Specialty Media Guide.

Removal Precautions
CAUTION—SHOCK HAZARD: The low-voltage power supply (LVPS) and the high-voltage
power supply (HVPS) may have residual voltage present. To avoid the risk of electrical shock, do
not touch their circuit components or the solder side of the board. Only handle them by their
outer edges or metal housing.
CAUTION—SHOCK HAZARD: This product uses an electronic power switch. It does not
physically disconnect the input AC voltage. To avoid the risk of electrical shock, always remove
the power cord from the printer when removal of the input AC voltage is required.
CAUTION—SHOCK HAZARD: To avoid the risk of electrical shock and to prevent damage to
the printer, remove the power cord from the electrical outlet and disconnect all connections to
any external devices before you connect or disconnect any cable, electronic board, or assembly.
CAUTION—HOT SURFACE: The inside of the printer might be hot. To reduce the risk of injury
from a hot component, allow the surface to cool before touching it.
CAUTION—PINCH HAZARD: To avoid the risk of a pinch injury, use caution in areas marked
with this label. Pinch injuries may occur around moving parts, such as gears, doors, trays, and
covers.

To prevent damage to the electrostatic discharge (ESD)-sensitive parts in the printer, do the following:
• Turn off the printer before removing logic boards.
• Keep the parts in their original packing material until you are ready to install them into the
printer.
• Make the least-possible movements with your body to prevent an increase of static electricity
from clothing fibers, carpets, and furniture.
• Use the ESD wrist strap. Connect the wrist band to the system ground point. This action
discharges any static electricity in your body to the printer.
• Hold the parts by their edge connector shroud. Do not touch its pins. If you are removing a
pluggable module, then use the correct tool.
• If possible, keep all parts in a grounded metal cabinet.
• Do not place the parts on the printer cover or on a metal table. If you need to put down the parts,
then put them in their packing material.
• Prevent parts from being accidentally touched by other personnel. Cover the printer when you are
not working on it.
• Be careful while working with the parts when cold-weather heating is used. Low humidity
increases static electricity.

Adjustments
Re g i s t r a t i o n A d j u s t m e n t
Image misalignments can occur after printhead replacement. Perform this procedure to correct the
position of the image relative to the paper edges.
Note: You cannot perform mechanical registration or skew adjustments on this printhead.
Before performing the procedure, make sure that the paper guides are properly set and the paper
settings on the printer match the paper size loaded in the tray.
A d j u s t i n g T h e S ke w
The skew adjustment changes the angle of the horizontal lines so that the lines can be aligned with
the leading edge of the page. As the skew setting is changed, the top line on the test page stays in
place at the left end, while its right end tilts up or down. All horizontal lines on the page tilt at that
same angle while the vertical lines remain vertical. Changing the skew setting moves the right edge of
the page up and down, and changes the angle of the top and bottom lines. If the skew is properly
adjusted, then the horizontal lines at the top of the page are parallel to the leading edge of the page.
To check for skew:
1. Enter the Diagnostics menu, and then navigate to:
Printer diagnostics and adjustments > Registration adjust
Note: If there is no skew on the page, then go to Adjusting the margins topic. See Registration
adjustment.
To adjust the skew:
1. Enter the Diagnostics menu, and then navigate to:
Printer diagnostics and adjustments > Registration adjust > Top Skew
2. Adjust the value.
Note: Notes:
• For non-touch-screen printer models, use the left or right arrow button to increase or decrease
the value.
• Increasing the value of the skew rotates the horizontal lines clockwise. The left end of the line
remains in the same place and the right end moves downward.
• Decreasing the value of the skew rotates the horizontal lines counterclockwise. The left end of
the line remains in the same place and the right end moves upward.
3. Print a Quick Test page to verify the change.
4. Repeat step 1 through step 3 until the horizontal line is properly aligned with the leading edge of
the page.
5. Check for proper margin alignment. See Registration adjustment.
• For non-touch-screens, use the left or right arrow buttons to increase or decrease the value.
• Increasing the value of the top margin setting pushes the top edge of the image downward.
• Increasing the value of the bottom margin setting pushes the bottom edge of the image
upward.
• Increasing the value of the left margin setting pushes the left margin to the right.
• Increasing the value of the right margin setting pushes the right margin to the left.
5. Print a Quick Test page to verify the change.

Removal Procedures
Keep the following tips in mind as you replace parts:
• Some removal procedures require removing cable ties. Do not forget to install these cable ties
during reassembly to avoid pinching wires, obstructing the paper path, or restricting mechanical
movement.
• Remove the print cartridges before removing other printer parts. Carefully set the cartridges on a
clean, smooth, and flat surface. Protect the cartridges from light while out of the printer.
• Disconnect all external cables from the printer to prevent possible damage during service.
• Unless otherwise stated, install the parts in reverse order of removal.
• When installing a part held with several screws, start all screws before the final tightening.
• For printers that have an electronic power switch, make sure to unplug the power cord after
powering off.

Power Consumption
P r o d u c t Po w e r C o n s u m p t i o n
The following table documents the power consumption characteristics of the product.
Note: Some modes may not apply to your product.
The power consumption levels listed in the previous table represent time-averaged measurements.
Instantaneous power draws may be substantially higher than the average.
Values are subject to change. See https://www.xerox.com for current values.
Sleep Mode
This product is designed with an energy-saving mode called Sleep Mode. The Sleep Mode saves
energy by lowering power consumption during extended periods of inactivity. The Sleep Mode is
automatically engaged after this product is not used for a specified period of time, called the Sleep
Mode Timeout.
By using the configuration menus, the Sleep Mode Timeout can be modified between 1 minute and
120 minutes. If the A4 print speed is less than or equal to 30 pages per minute, then you can set the
timeout only up to 60 minutes. Setting the Sleep Mode Timeout to a low value reduces energy
consumption, but may increase the response time of the product. Setting the Sleep Mode Timeout to
a high value maintains a fast response, but uses more energy.
Hibernate Mode
This product is designed with an ultra-low power operating mode called Hibernate mode. When
operating in Hibernate Mode, all other systems and devices are powered down safely.
The Hibernate mode can be entered in any of the following methods:
• Using the Hibernate Timeout
• Using the Schedule Power modes
The amount of time the printer waits after a job is printed before it enters Hibernate mode can be
modified between one hour and one month.
Off Mode
If this product has an off mode which still consumes a small amount of power, then to completely
stop product power consumption, disconnect the power supply cord from the electrical outlet.
To t a l E n e r g y U s a g e
It is sometimes helpful to estimate the total product energy usage. Since power consumption claims
are provided in power units of Watts, the power consumption should be multiplied by the time the
product spends in each mode in order to calculate energy usage. The total product energy usage is
the sum of each mode's energy usage.
• Allow the following recommended amount of space around the printer for proper ventilation:

1 Tray
2 Manual feeder
3 Rear door
4 Bin
The printer has a C-shaped paper path. The standard paper path is shown in red.
Paper is fed from the front of the printer and transported upward through the rear of the printer.
The duplex unit is built into the rear door. The duplex paper path is shown in blue.
The manual feeder is above the tray at the front of the printer. The paper path is also shown in red.
D r i v e Co m p o n e n t s
1 Motor (CMY)
3 Pick clutch
4 Motor (fuser)
5 Staging clutch
When a print job is sent to the printer, the printhead motor initiates and the fuser starts to heat. After
the printhead motor reaches speed, the CMY and K motors begin turning to start the EP process. For
more information, see EP process.
Pa p e r S t a g i n g
1 Transfer belt
4 Pick roller
5 Sensor (input)
6 Input roller
After the image is placed on the transfer belt, the image moves toward the second transfer roller. The
leading-edge position of the image is tracked. When the leading edge of the image reaches a
predetermined point, the pick clutch is energized and a sheet of paper is picked. The staging clutch is
energized next, and then the paper moves to meet the image. When the paper reaches the sensor
(input), the print engine calculates the image position on the belt relative to the paper position. If the
paper is early, then the staging clutch is turned off until the image is in the correct position. When the
image and paper are aligned, the staging clutch is energized and the input rollers move the paper to
the second transfer roller nip to do the second transfer.
Fu s e r a n d E x i t
2 Fuser
3 Fuser roller
6 Exit roller
7 Bin
After the second transfer, the paper is fed to the fuser. When the paper hits the fuser rollers, it buckles
before passing through. The sensor (fuser buckle) detects the buckle. If the buckle is too great, then
the motor (fuser) speeds up to avoid causing a paper jam. If the buckle is too small, then the motor
slows to avoid smearing the image. After the image is fused, the paper passes through the sensor
(fuser exit) and exits. Before the paper reaches the bin, it triggers the sensor (bin/narrow media). If
narrow media is being run, then the printer may slow down after several sheets to avoid damaging
the fuser. If narrow media is being run but the printer is set for wide media, then the printer may stop
and post a paper size mismatch message. If the bin is overfilled when running narrow media, then
paper jams may occur.
Duplexing
1 Fuser
3 Duplex rollers
4 Sensor (input)
Printers with duplex support use a secondary paper path, shown in blue, to print on the second side of
a sheet of paper. The duplexing process is summarized as follows:
1. After the first side of the paper is printed and the trailing edge of the paper clears the sensor
(fuser exit), the motor (fuser) reverses direction to feed the paper into the duplex unit.
Note: While the sheet is being transported through the duplex unit, it is the only sheet of paper
processed by the print engine. Inserting a sheet of paper into the manual feeder while a duplex
job is processed causes a paper jam.
2. When the trailing edge of the paper clears the fuser, the motor (fuser) rotates forward to prepare
the fuser for the page traveling from the duplex unit.
3. The duplex rollers transport the paper along the duplex unit. The staging clutch drives the rollers.
4. When the paper reaches the sensor (input), it follows the standard paper path again to print on
the second side.
1 Controller board
2 HVPS
3 LVPS
The LVPS (low voltage power supply) powers the printer. It converts the power from the AC outlet to
controlled AC and DC outputs.
The HVPS (high voltage power supply) converts the DC output from the LVPS to controlled outputs
used during the EP process.
1 Print cartridge
2 Printhead
3 Fuser
4 Cleaner
6 Developer roller
7 Photoconductor drum
9 Transfer belt
This single-laser printer uses four print cartridges (cyan, yellow, magenta, and black) to create text
and images on paper.
The photoconductor drums, developer rollers, and toner supplies are built into the print cartridges.
The transfer belt passes under the four photoconductor drums to produce and transfer the four-color
image to the paper in one pass.
Note: The transfer belt and second transfer roller are parts of the transfer module.
During the printing process, the printer follows the six basic steps of the EP process to create its
output to the page.
The printer controller board receives the print data and print command. The controller board then
initiates the print process. The controller board is the command center for the EP process and it
coordinates the various motors and signals. The HVPS sends voltage to various components in the EP
process. A laser contacts each photoconductor drum and alters the surface charge relative to the
image. Each photoconductor drum rotates past its respective developer roller, and toner is developed
on its surface. The four separate color images are then transferred to the transfer belt. After the
image is transferred to the transfer belt, the photoconductor drums are cleaned and recharged. The
transfer belt carries the four-colored image toward the second transfer roller. The timing of the paper
pick is determined by the position of the leading edge of the image on the transfer belt. For more
information, see the Paper staging section on Drive components.
Paper is carried to the fuser rollers where heat and pressure are applied to the page to bond
permanently the toner to the page. The fuser exit roller driven by the motor (fuser) pushes the paper
into the bin. The transfer belt is cleaned and the process begins again for the next page.
E P Pr o c e s s
Charge
1 Photoconductor drum
2 Charge roller
During the charge step, voltage is sent from the HVPS to the charge roller on each of the four
photoconductor drums. In this printer, the charge roller is part of the print cartridge.
The charge roller puts a uniform negative charge over the entire surface of the photoconductor drum
to prepare it for the laser beam.
Expose
1 Printhead
2 Photoconductor drum
During the expose step, the printhead laser fires a focused beam of light at the surface of each
photoconductor drum and writes an invisible image. The image formed for each color is called a
latent image or electrostatic image.
The laser beam discharges only the surface where the beam hits the photoconductor drum. This
discharge creates a difference in charge potential between the exposed area and the rest of the
photoconductor drum surface.
D eve l o p
1 Photoconductor drum
2 Developer roller
When the laser exposes the photoconductor drum in the print cartridge, the HVPS sends charge to
the developer roller. For each color, the print cartridge engages the photoconductor drum so it is in
contact with the developer roller. Because of the charge difference, the toner is attracted to areas of
the photoconductor drum surface exposed by the laser.
This process is similar to using glue to write on a can, and then rolling the can over glitter. The glitter
sticks to the glue but does not stick to the rest of the can.
F i r s t Tra n s fe r
2 Photoconductor drum
3 Transfer belt
When the latent images are developed on each photoconductor drum, the HVPS sends voltage to the
first transfer rollers inside the transfer belt.
For each color, the charge difference between the developed toner image on the photoconductor
drum surface and the first transfer roller causes the images to transfer to the surface of the transfer
belt. This transfer occurs during a direct surface-to-surface contact between the photoconductor drum
and the transfer belt.
S e c o n d Tra n s fe r
1 Transfer belt
2 Paper
On the transfer belt, the four-color image is carried toward the second transfer roller. When the image
on the transfer belt reaches a predetermined point, the paper pick is timed so that the paper is at the
exact position between the transfer belt and second transfer roller. For more information, see the
Paper staging section on Drive components.
The HVPS sends voltage to the second transfer roller to create a positive charge. When the image on
the transfer belt reaches the second transfer roller, the negatively charged toner clings to the paper.
The entire image is then transferred from the transfer belt to the paper.
Fu s e
1 Fuser rollers
2 Paper
3 Transfer belt
With the help of the transfer roller, the paper with the image moves into the fuser area.
The fuser applies heat and pressure to the page to melt the toner particles and bond them
permanently to the paper. The fuser moves the paper to the exit rollers which move the paper to the
bin.
C l e a n / e ra s e
Two cleaning processes take place during the EP process. Both processes remove the residual toner
from the system.
Transfer belt clean
1 Transfer belt
2 Cleaning blade
3 Auger
When the toner image on the transfer belt is transferred to the page, the transfer belt rotates and
gets cleaned by the cleaning blade. The cleaning occurs for every page that is printed.
The removed toner is moved to the waste toner bottle using a rotating auger.
Photoconductor drum clean/erase
1 Cleaning blade
2 Photoconductor drum
After each plane of color is transferred to the transfer belt from the photoconductor drums, a cleaning
blade scrapes the remaining toner from the surface of each photoconductor drum.
The photoconductor drum surface is prepared to restart the EP process. This cleaning/erasing cycle
happens after each plane of color is transferred to the transfer belt.
