Recommendations for Paper Usage

TipTip: To help anybody needing to load paper, and to avoid using unsupported papers, print this topic and post near the Xerox Nuvera.

Paper Type

Usage Recommendation

Coated stocks

Digital Copier/Printer: Feeding and handling not supported. Do not use.

Production System : If printing on coated side, coated side UP.

Paper weight range

  • Normal - 56gsm to 84gsm (ex: standard copier paper, inkjet paper)
  • Medium - 85gsm to 105gsm (ex:slightly heavier than Normal. Good for brochures, advertisements)
  • Heavy - 106gsm to 216gsm (index cards, cover stock, posters)

Drilled stocks

If you are loading any type of drilled paper, to aid in sheet separation and to prevent jams, it may be helpful to fan reams before loading into the tray.

Transparency or Mylar reinforced sheets

Loading limit in Paper Feeder trays: 50 sheets.

Removable stripe transparencies

Loading limit in Paper Feeder trays: 50 sheets.

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.
