DocuColor 40 Pro/ CP
Special Materials Information
Revision 2
Introduction
In response to customer requests to use special materials in the DocuColor 40 Pro/ CP, Xerox has done extensive testing on a variety of materials. This guide contains descriptions of and details about the special materials that have been approved by Xerox for use in the DocuColor 40 Pro/ CP. As the Xerox on-going materials testing program discovers new information, materials, or develops recommendations, revisions will be made to this guide.
Each section of this guide describes a single material. Descriptions include:
∙General information about the unique and approved material.
∙Expectations of the feeding reliability and performance of the DocuColor 40 Pro/ CP when using the material.
∙Usage techniques and applications to obtain optimum performance of the material when used with the DocuColor 40 Pro/ CP.
Each material described in this guide has specific conditions and requirements to produce acceptable performance. To achieve this performance and to meet the stated expectations, these conditions and requirements should be monitored carefully.
WARRANTY DISCLAIMER
Xerox makes no guarantees or warranties, either express or implied, concerning the performance, use or replacement of non-Xerox branded media or throughput products. Customers should inquire directly of their paper distributor or manufacturer for any guarantees they may offer. When purchasing a particular media product for the first time, customers are advised to purchase small quantities to insure that their expectations are met.
The materials with Xerox part numbers listed in this guide, can be purchased by calling the Xerox Supply Net at 1-800-822-2200 from the United States and Canada.

Tabs______________________________________________________________________
Material Description and Expectation:
Tabs are made of Xerox 90lb. Index or glossy coated cover, which has been converted into full one-half inch tabs and dividers that offer durability and stiffness. Tabs can be used to protect, organize, highlight, and divide important documents such as manuals, reports, catalogs, and price lists.
When 90lb Index tabs are run as described below, feeding will be optimized. However, performance will not equal the performance of Xerox 24lb Color Xpressions or other similar laser papers. Feeding performance will be good, but increased jamming may occur. Image mottle (light cloudy patches) may occur when printing on the larger portion of the tabs. Image mottle is more likely to occur when printing uniform halftone areas.
When Color Xpressions Tabs are run as detailed below, feeding will be optimized. However, performance will not equal the performance of Xerox 24lb Color Xpressions or other similar laser papers. Feeding performance will be good, but increased jamming may occur. Because coated papers are very susceptible to humidity, the material should be stored in moisture proof packaging when not in use to enable best feeding performance and image quality.
The recommended tabs are configured as five position tabs. The dimensions of each sheet is 9 x 11”. Tabs are packaged in two different methods: straight and reverse precollated. Customers preferring a portrait style report with the first tab beginning at the upper right corner of the document and with the tabs running from top to bottom would choose straight collation (i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5). Customers preferring landscape documents where the first tab would be at the lower left corner and proceed right would choose reverse collated (i.e. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1).

Steps for Success:
For printing tabs from a digital front end:
1) Design a tab template to match the following diagram. The dimensions of the paper should be 9 x 11”. The center of the five tabs should be 1.5”, 3.5”, 5.5”, 7.5” and 9.5”. The tabs are 1.5” wide. The configuration would be similar to the following diagram which is not drawn to scale:
1.5” |
3.5” |
5.5” |
7.5” |
9.5” |

11” |
