8. Evaluate the printed output.
• If the test prints are acceptable, continue to the next step.
• If the test prints are not acceptable, repeat the previous steps and run more test prints until
the desired printed output is achieved. If the output continues to be unacceptable after
multiple sets of test prints, contact your Customer Support Center for further assistance.
It may take multiple adjustments to the Advanced Stock Setup options and running test prints
before the printed output meets customer satisfaction.

The
Advanced Stock Setup
feature allows the user to customize the stocks further beyond the typical
size, weight, type, and other characteristics.
Tip:
The
Advanced Stock Setup
feature is accessed from either the Stock Properties window or
the New Stock Setup window.
Different media, including paper type, weight, type, and paper curl, requires specific or special
handling by the press as it moves through the paper path. For example, some media types may skew
or curl as they progress through the printing path of the press. This can occur on frequently-run jobs
or on jobs with a high volume output.
The
Advanced Stock Setup
feature allows you set specific custom parameters for different types of
media and jobs, such as outlined in the above paragraph. These custom stocks can be used at point
of need to ensure optimum output quality of your print jobs. The stocks can be either a temporary
stock for a specific, one-time job, or they can be a permanent stock added to the Stock Library list.
By setting custom stocks for specific media types, you can avoid output prints that are skewed, curled,
have too much dry ink/toner or not enough dry ink/toner in areas, or images that are not registered
properly on the output print, such as 1 Side 1 and Side 2 images that are misregistered.
Note:
Once a custom stock is created, either temporarily or permanently, this information is
sent to the print server and to the press. The print server in turn reflects this information in the
print options for the print jobs.
Tips for Using the Advanced Stock Setup Feature
Before using the Advanced Stock Setup feature, review the following information:
• Choose only one Advanced Stock Setup option at a time. This helps you determine if the option is
providing the desired printed output.
Important:
Always run test prints after selecting each option. This allows you to
evaluate the printed output and determine whether or not it is acceptable. If it is
acceptable, no further adjustments are required.
• If the output is unacceptable, do one of the following:
–
Make further adjustments to the value for the selected option (if applicable) or
–
Return the option to its default value and continue to the next option.
