Stock Types Performance Matrix

The Xerox Nuvera can process a wide array of stock types. Use the following topics to learn how each stock type can be expected to perform in the system.

Note

NOTE: Performance of the following stock types may not be equivalent to papers in the same weight range.

Throughput Material

Note

Window stock

 

Letterhead

b, c

Pre-printed forms

b

Pre-drilled/pre-punched holes (standard locations)

b

Mylar reinforced

LEF (mylar on long edge)

 
 

SEF

 

Transparencies

Note

NOTE: The paper path/sensors in the Xerox Nuvera do not require that you feed transparencies with removable stripes. If you have this type of media, you can use it, but the stripe is not necessary for proper function.

Note

NOTE:For dedicated transparency trays, first place approximately half an inch (12 mm) worth of plain paper at the bottom of the tray. This will ensure that all 50 of the transparencies get used.

Table Legend

SEF: Short Edge Feed

LEF: Long Edge Feed


Best: Best system performance

Good: Good system performance

Fair: Significant performance degradation is likely, particularly paper handling.

NR: Not Recommended. Exceeds system design. Unacceptable performance likely.

**: Same performance as shown in 20 lb. Standard Paper Table for the corresponding paper sizes.

Notes:

a. The output will go to the Top Tray in an MFF-equipped machine, and cannot be stapled.

b. Refer to Table 5 or to the paper tray label for the correct paper loading orientation.

c. Embossed letterhead may cause degraded paper handling, and possibly image deletion defects near the embossed area on either side of the paper.

d. Refer to Table 5 for more information.

e. Image deletion defects might occur near the perforation, especially if the perforation is parallel to the feed direction.

f. 2-sided copies or prints should not be selected when this stock is used.

g. Blank or preprinted covers are acceptable.
