DocuColor 40 MATERIALS USAGE GUIDE
Preprinted Papers
Material Description and Expectations
This category encompasses a wide variety of materials. Offset
printed letterhead papers and xerographic prints, within the
recommended paper weight range, may feed reliably in the
DocuColor 40. Copies produced on laser, ink jet, or dot matrix
printers, carbonless paper, raised/engraved copies, and preprinted
forms, using various inks (with and without MICR), have not been
tested and should be considered in the not recommended category.
Pretesting with small quantities to determine copy quality and
feeding performance is recommended.
Recommended Materials
Offset printed letterhead and xerographic prints from
16 lb / 60 g/m
2
xerographic/bond to 110 lb Index / 220 g/m

.
Steps for Success
1
Ensure paper is within the specified paper weight range of the
DocuColor 40.
2
For best feeding performance, run all preprinted sheets from the
Paper Tray Bypass. If paper is heavier than 28 lb / 105 g/m
2
xerographic/bond, run it in the Heavy Weight Paper Mode.
3
Allow preprinted sheets to dry completely before loading them into
the copier/printer.
4
he preprinted ink should have a low conductivity and will have to
withstand the high fuser temperature of the DocuColor 40 (180° C /
356° F).
5
Keep the preprinted sheets free from curl. Ensure that sheets are
flat or have a slight lead edge downward curl when loaded into the
Paper Tray Bypass.
6
To minimize jams, store preprinted sheets carefully. Avoid
damaging the edges or corners of the paper and protect preprinted
sheets from humid conditions that will lead to image quality
problems.
