storage or transportation environment is very different from the printer environment. Thick paper may also requirea longer conditioning period.Grain DirectionGrain refers to the alignment of the paper fibers in a sheet of paper. Grain is either grain long, running the length ofthe paper, or grain short, running the width of the paper.For recommended grain direction, refer to Supported Paper Weights.Fiber ContentMost high-quality xerographic paper is made from 100 percent chemically treated pulped wood. This contentprovides the paper with a high degree of stability, resulting in fewer paper feeding problems and better printquality. Paper containing fibers such as cotton can negatively affect paper handling.U N A C C E P TA B L E PA P E RThe 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 ±2.3mm(±0.09in.), such as optical character recognition (OCR) formsIn 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 documentsS TO R I N G PA P E RUse 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 printerenvironment. 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 relativehumidity between 40 and 60 percent.• Store paper in cartons, on a pallet or shelf, rather than on the floor.Xerox® C410 Color Printer User Guide 35Learn About the Printer
