• Paper stock color — white paper is the most reliable choice for patch code
reading. If you want to make the patch pages more visible to operators or
people who prepare the documents for scanning, then you can use bright
colors for the paper stock. Light yellow paper or a light pastel color that
reflects at least 65% of the light source should work well. Use of dark color
paper stock for patch pages may lead to unreliable patch reading.
• Print — the patch bars should always be printed in black. The printed black
bars must reflect less than 20% of the light source. Avoid photocopying
patches. Photocopiers tend to increase the size of the black bars while
simultaneously reducing the white space, thus altering the print
specifications.
• Paper size — the length and width of the patch pages should at least 5.5
inches (139.7 mm).
• Paper weight — if you want to reuse the patch pages after sorting, then the
paper weight needs to be stiff enough to successfully fly into Stack #2. For
more information refer to the section entitled, "Recommended paper
specifications" earlier in this chapter.
In addition to the guidelines outlined in the "Recommended paper
specifications" section, use this tips below to achieve the best possible
stacking results.
• For neater stacking use a jogger to align your document edges before
scanning.
• If you are using patch pages to separate documents and if the patch pages
are not separating correctly, you can print your patch pages on heavier
weight paper. The heavier weight paper will aid in better Stack #2 stacking.
If the Controlled Dual Stacking Accessory is not installed, refer to the
installation procedures that came with the accessory.
The side guides improve stacking of documents. You may need to change the
location of the side guides until you find the best stacking of your documents.
The side guides are magnetized. When removing the sides, you may need to
tilt the guides to the left or right to remove them more easily.
NOTE: The handles of the side guides should always be facing outward.
