Notes
• The Exception Page is the only selection to use for tab pages.
• Print out each job completely, and make a note of where the tab pages are located. For example:
pages 4, 10, 21, 26, 35, 41, 51, etc.
• Always select the Loaded Stocks option in order to choose the paper stock when printing the tab
pages. This selection ensures that the correct paper stock is used from the Xerox Color 800/1000
Press and paper stock mismatches do not occur between the FreeFlow Print Server and the print
engine.
• Tabs only print on one side.
• Proofread each job carefully to ensure that the Exception Page programming is accurate.
• Tabs do not run at the rated printer speeds due to an issue with mixed media when going to the
high capacity stacker.
• Perform a manual job recovery when there is a jam. Remove the jammed tab stock and replace
them in the paper tray in the proper order. If the stock is replaced incorrectly, the job will not print
correctly.
• Use any paper tray when Tabs that are programmed as a Temporary Stock can be printed from
any paper tray.
• The Custom Stock selection only prints from Tray 1.
