Printing on Tabs from the Print Server
Basic Procedure for Printing on Tabs from a Print Server
There are many types of tab stock and tab sequences available. Precut tabs are commonly used and
have two different orientations: the single straight collated tab stock or the single reverse collated tab
stock.
When programming tab jobs and loading tab stock, consider the following:
• Precut tabs can only print 1-sided
• There are specific job settings that you need to define such as tab order or sequence, number of
bank sets, stock weight, paper size, and insertion before or after body pages. Refer to your print
server documentation for more detailed setting information.
• Always load tab stock LEF into the tray where the straight edge of the stock is the lead edge and
the tabs are oriented at the trail edge.
• Always use a complete set or bank or tabs in the paper tray.
• If staple or punch finishing, use tray 5 or, if available, trays 6 or 7.
The following are the basic steps for printing tabs on your press.
1. From the print server, create and define the Tab stock for the paper tray you will be using.
2. Load the Tab stock in Trays 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 or 7.
