Introduction; Media Specifications; Selecting Media - Xante Assel-a-Writer-8300 Instruction Manual

Introduction

This chapter describes how to select and use various media types and
sizes, how to create double-sided output, and how to handle the toner
cartridge.

Media Specifications

In addition to printer capabilities and application features, the quality
of printed output depends on the type and condition of the media
used. To ensure that your job prints correctly, always select media
that is appropriate for the print job and the printer. Storing and
handling the media carefully prevents damage to both the media and
the printer.

Selecting Media

Use the guidelines in this section when selecting media to use with
your XANTÉ printer. To save on media costs, test a sample of new
media before buying in quantity and run a sample on plain paper to
check layout before using more expensive stock.
Caution: All media used in the printer should be able to withstand
a temperature of 374˚ F (190˚ C). Inks on preprinted
sheets such as letterhead that cannot withstand these
temperatures can cause permanent damage to the
printer's fusing rollers.
Standard 20 lb bond copier paper works well for most printing jobs.
Use 24 lb bond/60 lb text weight paper to ensure more consistent
coverage when higher quality is desired.
