Loading Special Stock for Proper Finishing Output
Depending on the finishing devices that are present on your system, special paper stock must be loaded in certain ways to achieve correct output. To ensure correct output and to avoid manual collation, load as indicated by the labels on each paper tray and follow the guidelines below.
If you are using a 2 Tray Feed Module, follow the guidelines for loading stocks in trays 3 and 4 on the tables.

NOTE: As an aid to you, there are illustration decals on each paper tray which will help you to load stock correctly. |
|
NOTE: For best results and most efficient operation, load Special stocks LEF in the paper trays. Loading Special stocks SEF may result in pages delivered with incorrect rotation and face-up or face-down delivery. Special programming may be required to correct. |

**Special Case: Jobs with drilled paper AND drilled tabs when using the MFF:
When processing jobs which use drilled paper and drilled tabs together, load the tabbed stock with tabs trailing as usual, but load the drilled paper stock with the holes leading. This is contrary to what the label on the tray depicts, but drilled stock must be loaded this way in order to achieve correct output. If the job includes drilled tabs or drilled paper, but not within the same job, follow the diagram on the tray label and/or the information in the table above.
Systems with Insertion Module and MFF
|
NOTE: No tabs can be loaded into an Insertion Module (if present) if using a Multi-Function Finisher. |
|
NOTE: Generally, Special stocks loaded SEF in the paper trays cannot be run when delivered to the MFF. |
