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.

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.

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.

• 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.

• 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.
