Xerox Nuvera Paper Guide

Tips by stock type
Tabs
NOTE: A special tabs guide must be installed on the trail edge
paper guide before tabs can be loaded and run from a paper tray.
Tabs can be run from any tray when the appropriate guide is
installed. Refer to Appendix B, Printing with tabs, for more
information.
Table 3-20. Tabs
Description Tabs are cover weight sheets that are slightly longer in one dimension than
normal size sheets and are used to mark off sections. Pre-cut tabs are
stamped to remove all but a small tab, typically come in sets of three or five,
and are arranged in a particular order. Full cut tabs have a larger, uniform
section that protrudes beyond the standard sized sheets and are not
arranged in a particular order.
Selection tips • Refer to the Drilled paper section if tabs have pre-punched holes to
ensure hole pattern is acceptable.
• Tabs with a sequence of 1 to 31 can be run.
Storage tips Follow general guidelines in Chapter 2, Managing your paper supply.
Usage tips • Pre-cut tabs must be loaded in paper trays for long edge feed.
• Only use single straight (forward) collated tabs with the DS5000 stacker.
The job should be programmed with 1-N order and face down delivery.
• A5/5.5” tabs can not be run to the stacker due to the stacker size
limitation. These tabs can only be programmed to the top tray.
• When loading pre-cut tabs, the tab side of the sheets must be on the trail
edge. Refer to the label in the paper tray.
• When running tab stock with coated or laminated tabs, limit the stacks in
feeder trays to 200 sheets to prevent jamming. If jamming occurs,
reduce the number of sheets to 50.
