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: 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: 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.
