Transparency guidelines Transparencies can be run from all the paper trays. Use only the transparencies recommended: • Xerox Removable Paper Stripe: USA and Canada, 3R5765; Xerox Europe, 003R91331. • Load transparencies into a tray with the paper stripe side facing DOWN and with the stripe as the leading edge. (The leading edge is the edge that feeds into the digital press first.)
3 . P ap e r i nf o r ma ti o n Drilled paper Three-hole drilled paper can be run from all the trays either LEF or SEF with the holes facing any direction. NOTE: If you are stapling 3-hole drilled paper with the optional Common Stacker Stapler (CSS), refer to Chapter 4 Accessories for paper loading instructions based on the position of the staple.
