A-2 XEROX DOCUPRINT 4850/4890 IPS INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE
Characteristics The paper stock should have the following characteristics:
• Low moisture content (a paper-to-moisture ratio below 5.7
percent). Paper with higher moisture content may curl and jam.
• Smooth surface
• Moisture-resistant wrapping
• No defects (bent edges, uneven surfaces)
• Grain long (parallel with the long side of paper).
Paper is usually fed into the printer with the long side as the
leading edge. When you purchase paper, buy long-grain paper.
Make sure the grain is parallel with the long side (long-grain) for
the most reliable feeding and stacking.
Special stocks Following are some guidelines for choosing and using special
materials:
• Labels — Must be the type designed for high-speed printers
and must meet the specifications described in the section
above. Loading instructions are printed on all paper trays.
Load labels with the label side up. You can direct them to any
output tray.
• Transparencies — Must be the type designed for high-speed
printers and must meet the specifications described in the
section above. Loading instructions are printed on all paper
trays.
Load transparencies with the opaque strip to the right. All
printed transparencies are delivered to the sample tray.
As long as they meet your printer’s paper specifications, you
can also use:
• Tinted paper — Available in a variety of colors, it has many
uses, including calling attention to certain printed material,
separating special sections, or dividing chapters of a report.
• Preprinted paper — May be letterhead, forms, or logos.
• Predrilled paper — Has a varying number of holes for use in
binders or binder rings. Before loading predrilled paper, fan it to
remove loose plugs that could cause paper jams. Load
predrilled paper in the printer with holes to the right.
• Perforated paper
