Special Materials Information

Revision 2

In response to customer requests to use special materi als in the
DocuColor 40 Pro/ CP, Xerox has done extensive testi ng on a variety
of materials. This guide contains descripti ons of and details about the
special materials that have been approv ed by Xerox for use in the
DocuColor 40 Pro/ CP. As the Xerox on-going materials testi ng
program discovers new infor m at ion, materials, or dev elops
recommendations, revisions will be made to this guide.

Each section of this gui de descr i bes a single material. Descriptions
include:

• General information about t he 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 opt imum performance
of the material when used with the DocuColor 40 Pro/ CP.

Each material described in thi s gui de has specific conditi ons and
requirements to produce accept able perfor m ance. To achieve this
performance and to meet t he st ated expectations, these condi t ions and
requirements should be monitored car ef ully.

Tabs______________________________________________________________________

Material Description and Expectat i on:
Tabs are made of Xerox 90lb. Index or glossy coated cover, which has been convert ed into full one-half

inch tabs and divider s that offer durability and sti f f ness. Tabs can be used to protect, or ganize, highlight,
and divide impor t ant documents such as manuals, reports, cat alogs, and pric e lists.

When 90lb Index tabs are run as descri bed below, feeding will be optimized. However, performance will
not equal the performance of Xerox 24lb Color Xpressions or other sim i lar laser papers. Feeding
performance will be good, but increased jamming may occur. Image m ot tle (light cloudy patches) may
occur when printing on the larger portion of t he t abs. Image m ottle is more likely to occur when printing
uniform halftone areas.

When Color Xpressions T abs ar e r un as det ailed 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 m ay occur. Because coat ed paper s ar e very
susceptible to humidity, the mat er ial should be stored in moisture proof packaging when not in use t o
enable best feeding performance and image quality.

The recommended tabs are conf i gur ed as f ive position t abs. The dimensions of each sheet is 9 x 11”.
Tabs are packaged in two different m et hods: straight and reverse precollated. Customers preferring a
portrait style report with the fi r s t t ab beginning at the upper ri ght cor ner of t he docum ent and with the
tabs running from top to bottom would choose straight collation (i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) . Customers preferri ng
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) .

Recommended Materials:
Xerox White Straight Collated Tabs 3R4417

Xerox White Straight Collated Tabs (3HD) 3R4418
Color Xpressions Glossy Coated Tabs Straight Collated 3R6254
Color Xpressions Glossy Coated Tabs Straight Collated (3HD) 3R6255

Xerox White Reverse Collated Tabs 3R4415
Xerox White Reverse Collated Tabs (3HD) 3R4416
Xerox Plastic Reverse Collated Tabs 3R5520
Xerox Plastic Reverse Collated Tabs (3HD) 3R5521

Steps for Success:
For printing tabs f r om a di gital front end:

1) Design a tab template to match t he f ollowing diagram. The di m ensi ons of the paper should be 9 x
11”. The center of t he f ive tabs should be 1.5”, 3.5”, 5. 5” , 7.5” and 9.5”. T he t abs ar e 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”
