DocuColor 240/250 Stock Types Your machine can operate with a variety of paper such as plain, recycled, nontearing, heavyweight, and coated papers. NOTE: Coated papers are very susceptible to humidity. Multifeeds are much more likely with humidity greater than 40%. Environmental conditions may require that coated paper be fed one sheet at a time from Tray 5 (Bypass). The following paper stock is NOT recommended: • Conductive papers • Papers containing talc • Papers containing wax, stearate or plasticiser Colored Paper/Non-tearing Papers Colored paper and card is available in a wide range of shades. Color is most effective when used sparingly. Examples of applications that can automatically insert colored stock are covers, inserts, and transparency dividers. Non-tearing paper is coated with a polyester film that is waterproof, soil resistant and is extremely difficult to tear. Non-tearing paper is a good choice for important documents that are handled frequently. Pre-printed/Letterhead Pre-printed paper such as letterheads and forms should be loaded in Tray 1, Tray 2 and the High Capacity Feeder trays, face down with the top to the front of the machine. Cover Stock Cover stock is ideal for posters, calendars, report covers and presentation proofs. Covers should be loaded in the Bypass Tray face up. Be sure to use the Paper Tray Settings screen to specify the appropriate media type. Label Stock Labels consist of three layers; the face sheet, pressure sensitive adhesive and the backing or release sheet. When printing self adhesive labels, it is best to use stock designed for use in xerographic printers. The adhesives are designed to withstand the higher temperatures of such machines without bleeding and causing spotting or causing damage to the internal components. Dry gum labels (those that require moistening before being applied) can cause dry particles of glue to detach from the backing and should not be used. The label stock should be left in the printing environment for 72 hours before using it in the printer to allow it to adjust to the ambient temperature. Leave labels sealed in their plastic wrapping until they are loaded in the printer. DocuColor 240/250 Training and Information Guide 101
