Xerox 300x User Manual

The printer prints on a variety of paper sizes and grades.  The size and grade 
of paper you select depends on your printing needs and whether you are 
using the paper tray or manually feeding the paper into the printer.  For 
information on ordering paper, refer to the supplies information sheet.

You can recycle the printed paper the same way you would recycle paper 
from any laser printer.

You can use a variety of paper grades with this printer, including Bond, 
Book, Cover, Index, Tag, Text, and Offset.  

The terms this manual uses (such as Book, Bond, and Cover) to 
describe paper grades the printer uses, may differ from the terms 
your country uses.  Refer to the table “Guidelines for paper grade, 
weight, and thickness” on page 3-26 for the metric equivalent of 
paper grades.

The best papers to use with this printer are paper grades such as Bond, Book, 
and Text.  You can use Bond papers for newsletters, forms, and reports.  
Book papers are best for manuals, fliers, and catalogs.  And Text papers are 
best for textbooks, brochures, and color comps.

Finish refers to the smoothness of the paper.  The printer can print on 
matte-finish paper as well as high-gloss paper.  The finish affects the 
durability of the print.  Generally, matte finishes produce more durable 
prints than glossy finishes because the ink bonds to porous surfaces better.

Avoid using “fuzzy” papers that have loose fibers.  If you use extra-fibrous 
papers, you may have to clean the printer more frequently.  Also, avoid 
watermarked papers because the watermark may be visible in the finished 
print.

Paper Company.
