Using non-standard stock

Using stock of non-standard width or length in the printer may
have a negative impact on system performance. Refer to the
following table for a listing of sizes and possible resulting impacts.

Table 5-6. Stock width impact on system performance

Textured paper

Heavily textured paper may produce prints
with a ragged character appearance or
deletions. To test, run a proof print.

Window stock

Run if the window is 2.2 to 4 inches (57 to
102 mm) from the top edge of the paper and
at least 1 inch (25.4 mm) from each side of
the paper.
Run only as the first page or a front cover to
avoid finisher bin jams.
Load the window stock face-up into a tray
(tray 1 or 2 is recommended) with the top
edge toward the front of the tray.
If running plastic-covered window stock,
there may be some distortion. To test, run a
proof copy.

Xerox Carbonless

Xerox Carbonless Paper is recommended.

Impact on performance

8.67 to 9 inches (221

2, 3, 4, and 5

Extended runs may increase the risk of
temporary background.
Increased risk of lead-edge image deletions on
each successive sheet.
Stock programming errors may go undetected
because stock width checking is not performed.

9 inches (229 mm) to
less than 14.2 inches
(361 mm) in trays 3,
4, and 5.

Image offset may occur following a printer
malfunction; for example, fuser jams.
Running stock wider than 9 inches (229 mm)
(other than 17 x 11 inches or A3) may increase
the risk of misregistration, skew, and tray 3
elevator problems.
