Recommended Xerox Materials for Xerox Color 550/560
For use in the US and Canada
Revision 2.0 - Issued December 2010
Important Notes:
All media is listed by product, machine run mode, Image Quality System Setting, weight (standard gsm), re-order number, size, and tray
runability. The additional information column is for hints and tips on how to run certain media applications.
Media recommendations made in this publication are based on qualification tests* conducted using standard test images with moderate to
heavy image area coverage. Test duration for each product/media type is based on the suggested machine monthly copy/print volume. Test
machines are maintained within specifications defined by user documentation.
* Testing Environment temperature range of 60-75 deg. F, Relative Humidity range 20-40%.
*Machine reliability specifications may be affected by increased usage of the Heavyweight 1, Heavyweight 2, Heavyweight 3, Heavyweigt 4,
Coated 1, Coated 2 and Coated 3 modes. In addition, variances in machine reliability may occur due to extended use of some media types.
Your Xerox service representative can advise you on using Heavyweight 1, Heavyweight 2, Heavyweight 3, Heavyweight 4, Coated 1, Coated 2
and Coated 3 modes or special application media types for long duration copy/print runs.
Auto-duplexing of Coated 1, Coated 2 and Heavyweight 2 media may cause increased jams. When this occurs, use manual Duplexing.
Increased jams may occur when Output Format is Auto or Face Down. Use Face Up Output Format if this occurs.
Environmental conditions may require that coated paper be fed one at a time through Tray 5 (Bypass). Relative Humidity greater than 40%
could cause multifeeds. Oversize High Capacity Feeder Option (OHCF) prevents multifeeds for Coated 1, Coated 2 and Coated 3 modes when
Relative Humidity is greater than 40%. Output may require removal at 25 sheets of coated media in the tray when not using a finisher.
Oversize High Capacity Feeder Option is recommended for optimal feeding performance of Coated 2 Side (C2S) media. Coated 1, Coated 2 and
Coated 3 modes prevent multifeeds, especially in high humidity environments. Coated 1 Side (C1S) media has best feeding performance in
high humidity when using Coated 2 or Coated 3 mode. In low humidity environment, Heavyweight 2 or Heavyweight 3 mode may yield better
image quality.
For Manual Duplex, it may help to manually remove curl after printing side 1 before placing sheets into feeder for side 2.
