Paper Tray Programming

When you load paper in a paper tray, you must program the tray for the paper it contains.

To avoid loading a paper stock unsupported by the machine, see Recommendations for Paper Usage.

Tray Confirmation Options

When you change or add paper to a feed tray, you need to program the tray for the stock you added. To avoid "Resource Not Available" faults, you can set a confirmation option to match your workflow. The confirmation box displays asking you to confirm or change the paper setting for a tray.

To set a Confirmation option

1. Select Setup from the Menu bar.
   
2. Select System Preferences: Stocks and Tray tabs.
   
3. Under Tray Confirmations select a Confirmation Option.
   • None - No Confirm box is displayed (Production System Default).
     
   • When Tray Settings Change - Confirm box displays if you add a different sized stock and do not change tray programming.
   • After Every Tray Cycle - Confirm box display each time a tray is opened and closed (Copier/Printer default).
   • Auto Accept Settings Changes - No Confirm box is displayed as the system automatically senses the new stock size. You may need to change other stock attributes based upon the stock you added to the tray.

   TIP: When programming a stock in a feed tray or the stock library it is important to set the correct stock properties, especially the weight listed as gsm. Based on the weight of the stock (gsm) setting, the feed tray 'fluffers' settings are modified to feed the programmed stock. Taking time to verify the gsm setting increases runtime and productivity by decreasing feed module paper jams.

To program paper trays

Tray programming procedures vary depending on how you configure confirmation alerts and on the particular Nuvera System.

Rear Guide Stop for Tray 2 on the 4-Tray Feed Module

The Tray 2 Rear Guide Stop is designed for systems that dedicate tray 2 on the 4-Tray Feed Module for 8.5” x 11" or A4 stock. It is designed to stabilize the rear guide in the tray improving registration. The stop is installed in the back of the tray to restrict the rear guide from opening.

About Auto Tray Switching and setting tray priorities

The Xerox Nuvera is designed to allow a job to be submitted using only job attributes, and the system will then, based upon tray priorities, pull stock from the tray(s) containing the programmed stock.

You have the ability to control the order in which trays are used by the system, by setting each tray' priorities. For example, if trays 1 and 2 contain the same type of paper, but you are running a big jobs, you can set tray 2 to be chosen first, since it has a larger paper capacity. In this case, the job pulls stock from tray 2 first. When tray 2 is out of stock, the job switches to pull from tray 1. Once tray 2 is refilled, the job switches back to pulling stock from tray 2.

Feed Until Empty

A user selected workflow, Feed Until Empty, tells the system to empty the second tray before switching back to the original tray. In the above example, once the tray 1 was empty, the job switches to pulling stock from tray 2 and remain pulling stock from that tray until it is empty. Once the 2nd try is empty the job immediately switches back to the 1st tray, if it has be refilled.

To select Feed Until Empty

1. Select System: User Diagnostics: Feed System Optimization Customer Setup: Feed Until Empty Algorithm to enable Feed Until Empty.
