Paper path components
in order for an image to be printed, the media has to be moved from the paper tray to the printer and
eventually exit into the output area.
The most important component in this process is this media itself. Old, damaged or out-of-specification
media can and will cause feed and transport problems. If you encounter problems, you should always check
the media first. See
“Media input types and weights” on page 1-8
. In addition, it is always good practice
to check the printer and driver settings to see if the media being used matches the user’s settings in the
driver. It is not uncommon to find a user printing on card stock with the printer programmed to print on a
plain paper setting.
The printer feed and transport components can fail and cause paper jams or other feed and transport
problems. These components should be examined for damage or wear and replaced if necessary.
X500n specific information

The tray 1 paper path is
shown in red, and the optional tray 2 path is shown in blue (Tray 2 is not shown).
Note:
The tray 1 and tray 2 paper paths merge at the tray 1 paperfeed roll.

There is no duplex option or finisher option on this printer. There is a 530-sheet drawer available (not
shown).
