Transparencies

Presentations

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.

  • For all transparencies, refer to the label on the tray for correct orientation.
  • When using transparencies with removable stripes, load with the stripe down in Tray 1 - 4.
  • Do not program 2-sided.
  • For best results, set Heavy Weight attribute when programming Trays 1 - 4.
  • Nuvera supports only 8 1/2 x 11" (A4) transparencies.
 

Labels

Self-adhesive labels for envelopes and packaging

  • Do not program 2-sided.
  • For best results, feed labels into the machine LEF only.
