Paper and Media for Trays 8 and 9

Paper and Media Overview

Before loading paper, consider the following:
• To define attributes for a stock, to add a new stock to the Stock Library, or to assign
a stock to a paper tray for the print job, access the Stock Library Manager on the print server. If you have restricted access, contact your System Administrator.
Note
The Stock Library Manager is an application that is loaded onto the print server and is used to manage the stocks and paper trays for your press.
- Bydefault, the Stock Library feature is available to both the operator and system
administrator modes.
- Your System Administrator may restrict user access to change or add stocks.
- When you are loading paper, the Stock Library Manager application opens the
Tray Properties window for that tray and you can view or change the stock assigned to that tray.
• The press supports the ability to pull different stock sizes and paper types from various trays and assemble them as part of a single job. To select multiple paper trays and insert different papers within one job, program this custom job at the print server using features such as special pages.
• The press supports Automatic Tray Switching, which allows a job to switch automatically from an empty tray to a full tray containing the same size paper, orientation and stock type. Refertothe SystemAdministration Guide for information on how to enable this feature and prioritize the order of trays to search on and use.
General Paper Loading Guidelines
• Fan paper before loading it in the paper tray.
• Do not overfill the paper trays. Do not load paper above the indicated maximum fill line in the tray.
• Adjust the paper guides to fit the paper size.
• If excessive jams occur, use paper or other approved media from a new package.
• Do not print on label media after a label has been removed from a sheet.
• Use only paper envelopes.
• Print envelopes 1-sided only.
Unsupported Media
Some paper and other media types can cause poor output quality, increased paper jams, or damage the press. Do not use the following:
• Rough or porous paper
• Inkjet paper
• Paper that is business-card size
1-3Xerox®Versant®3100 Press
Optional Devices Guide
Dual Advanced High Capacity Feeder (Trays 8 and 9)
• Paper that is folded or wrinkled
• Paper that is curled more than 0.47 in. / 12 mm
• Paper with cutouts or perforations
• Stapled paper
• Damp paper
• Thermal or heat-transfer paper
• Envelopes with windows, metal clasps, side seams, or adhesives with release strips
• Padded envelopes
Note
In addition to the above list, there may be other media that is not recommended or supported. For details, please contact your local Xerox representative.
Paper / Media Storage Guidelines
Storing paper and other media properly contributes to optimum print quality.
• Store paper in dark, cool, relativelydrylocations.Mostpaper is susceptible to damage fromultraviolet and visible light. Ultravioletlight,from the sun and fluorescent bulbs, is particularly damaging to paper.
• Reduce the exposure of paper to strong lights for long periods of time.
• Maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity.
• Avoid storing paper in locations that are damp or collect moisture.
• Store paper flat, either on pallets, cartons, shelves, or in cabinets.
• Avoid food or drinks in the area where paper is stored or handled.
• Do not open sealed packages of paper until you are ready to load the paper into the trays. Leave stored paper in the original packaging. The paper wrapper protects the paper from moisture loss or gain.
• Some special media is packagedinsideresealableplasticbags.Storethemediainside the bag until you are ready to use it. Keep unused media in the bag and reseal it for protection.

- If you use Trays 8 or 9, envelopes must be fed either with the Postcard Bracket or the optional Envelope Support Kit installed.
- If the Postcard Bracket is used, the stack height is limited to 200 envelopes.
Postcard Bracket
The postcard bracket is delivered with Trays 8 and 9 from manufacturing. The postcard bracket allows you to print on smaller size media without requiring post-processing cutting or sorting. The postcard bracket accommodates 4 x 6 in. (101.6 x 152.4 mm) SEF media and smaller. For more information, refer to Paper Size Ranges for Trays 8
and 9.
Note

Optional Devices Guide
Dual Advanced High Capacity Feeder (Trays 8 and 9)
Optional Envelope Support Kit
The Envelope Support Kit enables a greater quantity of envelopes to be loaded and printed from Trays 8 or 9. This optional kit consists of two plastic pieces that fit into the bottom of the tray and a postcard bracket that attaches to the side of the tray. The plastic pieces lift one side of the stack of envelopes to offset the extra thickness of the flaps. This keeps the stack level for feeding and enables more envelopes to be fed from the tray.
Note
For more information, refer to Envelopes.

Loading Paper in the Trays 8 and 9

1. Select the appropriate paper stock for your print job.
2. Pull out the tray slowly until it stops.
3. Open the ream of paper with the seam side facing up.

10. Select OK to save the information and close the Tray Properties window.

Paper Feed Performance in Trays 8 and 9

If misregistration / skew occurs on printed output that was fed from Trays 8 or 9, manual adjustment of the paper-feed levers may improve and correct the printed output.
Important
For most print jobs, these levers should remain in their default position. The position of these levers should be changed only if there is a skew problem when running a specific print job and / or media type. Changing the levers may cause more skew problems when running certain media types such as coated, label, tab stock, hole-punched paper, transparency, film, postcards, and envelopes.
The paper-feed adjustment levers are found in Trays 8 and 9. These levers are used to improve paper feed accuracy and to reduce paper skew problems.

• Use of other size envelopes may be used, but performance is not guaranteed.
Xerox®Versant®3100 Press1-18
Optional Devices Guide
Dual Advanced High Capacity Feeder (Trays 8 and 9)
• Envelopes must be run 1-sided only.
• Recommended capacity is 30-40 envelopes. Capacity may vary based on envelope type and manufacturer.
• Always load envelopes with the flaps closed and flaps face down.
• When loading SEF, place the flaps facing the front of the press.
• When loading LEF, place the flaps facingthe lead edge (feeddirection into the press).
• When submitting your print file, select a custom paper as the Paper Type, and enter the dimensions of the envelope.
- The width is measured from the lead edge to the trail edge of the envelope.
- This means that if you are loading the envelope SEF, enter the long dimension of the envelope as the width.
- If you are loading the envelope LEF, enter the short dimension of the envelope as the width.
• Enter a heavy weight for the media, such as 176 gsm or greater for 24lb envelopes. Best results will vary based on envelope type and manufacturer.
• Select the Tray 5 (Bypass) as the Paper Source.
• Do not use padded envelopes. Use envelopes that lie flat on a surface.
• Store unused envelopes in their original packaging to avoid the excess moisture or dryness which can affect print quality and cause wrinkling. Excessive moisture can cause the envelopes to seal before or during printing.
• Some wrinkling or embossing may occur when printing on envelopes. Successful envelope printing depends on the quality and construction of the envelopes. Try another envelope brand if problems occur.
• Greater image registration variance may be experienced on envelopes.
• Maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity.
• Removal of the envelopes from the output top tray is recommended to minimize poor stack quality and possible jams.
• Printed envelopes are sent only to the Offset Catch Tray (OCT) or to the top tray of the standard finishers.

2. 4.IDM Up-Curl Paper Path Printed Media From IDM to Inline Finishing Device
As media enters the module, it is fed to the IDM decurler for paper curl correction. The IDM decurler has both upper and lower decurler rolls that apply pressure to the media based upon the following:
• System default (Auto on)
• Manual selections made from the IDM control panel
Based on the IDM paper curl correction settings, the decurler gate routes the paper to either the up-curl (cupped) path, or the down-curl (bridged) path. The degree of pressure is applied independently to the upward and downward decurler arms.
If you want to quickly, and at the point-of-need, adjust the paper curl on the printed output, use the manual curl up or down buttons. If the printed output contains too much curl after using these buttons, refer to the Stock LibraryManager Help on the print server for information about adjusting the paper curl (Stock Library > Advanced Stock
Settings). Also refer to the Stock Library Manager Help, the section entitled “Correcting Paper Curl.”
Fromthe IDM decurler, the print media is cooled and routed from the IDM to the optional finishing device that is next inline and connected to the press.

Tray T1 Purge Function Settings

The purge function allows you to specify how the press behaves when tray T1 is used. The purge function has two settings:
Standard
For each printed set that requires the inclusion of paper into the finished set, the press checks that paper Is loaded in tray T1 before it starts printing.
This setting increases the waiting time between sets, and thereby causes decreased productivity. However, paper purging does not occur even if tray T1 runs out of paper.
Speed First
The printer starts printing regardless of the paper status of tray T1. This setting maintains productivity based on press productivity. However, paper is
purged from the press and the press stops printing when tray T1 runs out of paper.
Note
Speed First is the default setting for the tray T1 purge function.

The following occurs when there is an fault, such as paper jams, open doors or covers, or a press malfunction:
Xerox®Versant®3100 Press6-4
Optional Devices Guide
Two-Sided Trimmer
• The press stops running and an fault message displays on the press touch screen.
• The message includes a graphical illustration showing the location of the fault along
with a brief explanation of corrective actions for clearing the fault.
• Paper jams may occur in multiple areas of the press and any optional devices
connected to the press. When this happens, the graphical illustration changes to show the multiple locations and the required corrective actions.
• Additionally, if a fault occurs with an optional device, an indicator lights on that
device's control panel and shows the corresponding area on the device where the fault occurred.
Always refer to the following information when clearing paper jams:
• Do not power off the press when removing paper jams.
• Paper jams can be removed with the press still powered on. When the power is turned
off, all information stored to the system's memory will be erased.
• Clear all paper jams before resuming print jobs.
• Do not touch components inside the press. This can cause print defects.
• Ensure that all paper jams, including any small ripped pieces of paper, are cleared
before proceeding with print jobs.
• Gently remove the paper taking care not to tear it. If paper is torn, be sure to remove
all torn pieces.
• After removing paper jams, close all doors and covers. The press cannot print when
doors or covers are open.
• After clearing a paper jam, printing automatically resumes from the state before the
paper jam occurred.
• If all paper jams are not cleared, an error message continues to display on the press
touch screen. To clear any remaining jams, refer to the press touch screen for instructions and information.
