Downloading Fonts  
To supplement the resident fonts (which are always available for printing), downloadable fonts  
can be sent from your computer and stored in the system’s memory or on the system’s hard  
drive.  
Note  
If you turn the system off, the fonts you download to memory are deleted. You must  
download them again when you turn the system on.  
Before printing, verify that the fonts specified in your document are installed in the system or  
are set up to download correctly. If your document has a font not currently in your system, or  
downloaded with your print job, a different font will be used.  
The system accepts the following downloadable fonts for printing:  
PCL  
Type 1  
Type 3  
TrueType (scalable to any point size; looks the same on-screen and printed).  
Downloading Fonts from the CentreWare Font Management Utility  
The CentreWare Font Management Utility (FMU) is a Windows and Macintosh application  
that helps manage fonts, macros and forms on a printer’s hard drive. Downloading fonts to a  
printer can improve printing performance and reduce network traffic. You can list, print,  
delete, and download PostScript and PCL fonts using the Font Management Utility.  
To download the Font Management Utility, go to www.xerox.com/office/drivers and use the  
Key word search FMU.

Envelopes  
Successful envelope printing is highly dependent on the quality and construction of the  
envelopes. Follow these guidelines when printing envelopes:  
All envelopes should be printed single-sided only.  
Use only paper envelopes.  
Do not use envelopes with windows, metal clasps, or adhesives with release strips.  
Some wrinkling and embossing may occur when printing envelopes.  
Note  
Envelopes with side seams, end-flaps, or with flat, announcement style flaps may jam.  
Supported  
Not Supported  
Storing Envelopes  
Maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity.  
Store unused envelopes in their packaging to avoid the effects of moisture and dryness  
which can affect print quality and cause wrinkling. Excessive moisture can cause the  
envelopes to seal before or during printing.  
Preparing to Print  
All envelopes should be printed single-sided only.  
Remove air “bubbles” from the envelopes before loading by setting a heavy book on top of  
the envelopes.  
If ink is missing around the envelope seams:  
Move the location of the text to another place on the envelope.  
Use a different envelope style.  
Use lighter weight envelopes.

Carbonless Paper  
Xerox Carbonless Paper reams are pre-collated into sets of two or more sheets. The first sheet  
of a set is white; the subsequent sheets are different colors.  
Most carbonless paper reams are straight collated, with the first sheet of a set on top.  
Reverse collated reams are stacked in the opposite order, with last sheet of a set on top.  
You can print Xerox Carbonless Paper from any tray.  
To order paper, transparencies, or other specialty media, contact your local reseller or go to  
Guidelines  
Do not open sealed packages of carbonless paper until you are ready to load them.  
Do not leave unused carbonless paper in the paper trays. Seal and store unused paper in the  
original wrapper.  
Xerox Carbonless Paper has an odor that differs from regular paper. This is normal and is  
not harmful in any way.  
Rotate stock frequently. For best results, use carbonless paper within one year from the  
date of purchase.  
The friction feed action of the paper tray may cause a slight scuff mark on the second or  
subsequent sheets.  
If you encounter a paper jam while running carbonless paper, maintain the integrity of the  
pre-collated sets by:  
a. Checking the color of the last printed sheet.  
b. Discarding sheets from the input tray so that the next sheet to print is the correct color  
sequence.  
Printing Xerox Carbonless Paper from Tray 1  
1. Find the label on the end of the paper ream package. The label contains an arrow pointing  
to the top of the ream.  
2. Open the package, and select the number of sets that you want to print. A set contains a  
white sheet, followed by one or more colored sheets.  
Note  
It is important that the sheets be printed in the correct order. Do not change the order  
of the sheets.

Printing Booklets  
With two-sided printing, you can print a document in the form of a small book. Create  
booklets for any paper size that is supported for 2-sided (duplex) printing. The driver  
automatically reduces each page image by 50 percent and prints two pages per sheet of paper.  
The pages are printed in the correct order so that you can fold and staple the pages to create a  
booklet.  
When you choose to print booklets, you can also specify the creep and gutter in both  
Windows 98 and Windows Me drivers. The gutter is the horizontal distance from the fold to  
the page image (in points). The creep is the distance that page images are shifted inward (in  
10ths of a point); this compensates for the thickness of the folded paper, which otherwise  
would cause the inner page images to shift slightly outward.  
To select booklet printing in a supported Windows driver:  
Windows 98, Windows Me PostScript driver:  
On the Setup tab, click More Layout Options, then check Print Booklet Style in the  
More Layout Options box. You can also specify the creep and gutter in this box.  
Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 PostScript driver:  
On the Layout tab, select Booklet from the Pages per Sheet drop-down list.

Printing Cover Pages  
A cover page is the first or last page of a document. The printer enables you to choose a  
different paper source for the cover page than for the body of a document. For instance, use  
your company letterhead for the first page of a document, or use card stock for the first and last  
pages of a report.  
Use any applicable paper tray as the source for printing cover pages.  
Verify that the cover page is the same size as the paper used for the rest of your document.  
If you specify a different size in the driver than the tray you select as a cover pages source,  
your cover(s) print on the same paper as the rest of your document.  
You have several choices for cover pages:  
None - Prints the first and last pages of your document from the same tray as the rest of  
your document.  
First - Prints the first page on paper from the specified tray.  
First and Last - Prints the first and last pages on paper from the specified tray.
