Selection tips • Before ordering stock, check the latest Xerox Nuvera Media
Compatibility Guide.
• If you wish to run a paper that has not been recommended by Xerox,
test a small quantity before making a large purchase.
Storage tips Refer to the Chapter 2, Managing your paper supply , section on controlling
moisture in paper.
Usage tips • To prevent leaving handling dents on sheets, handle stocks gently when
loading feeder trays.
• To prevent damaging large size papers, handle partial reams only.
• Stock that is cut unevenly may require fanning to improve performance.
• If multifeeds occur, leave the stock in the tray and fan the lead and trail
edges of the stack.
– Gently hold one side (lead or trail) of the stack to keep it from
moving.
– Gently lift the top four inches (10 centimeters) of the opposite side of
the stack, then allow the sheets to gently fan back down into the tray.
• If the paper packaging does not indicate a paper loading direction, load
paper with the curl side down.
• If jammed sheets exhibit damaged or folded lead edges, check the
unloaded (stored) paper from the same shipment to see if the paper is
defective.
