Loading Envelopes In The Bypass (Tray 5) - Xerox Versant 180 Press User Manual

Loading Envelopes in the Bypass (Tray 5)

Note
It is recommended that you print envelopes from the Bypass/Tray 5 only. Optional Trays
6 and 7 (OHCF) can be used if the Postcard Bracket is mounted and the stack height is
limited to no more than 200 envelopes.
When setting up your print job, follow the steps below to define the custom paper settings
at the Paper Tray settings/Tray Properties window and assign this stock to Tray 5. With
the flap closed, measure the height and width of the envelope.
The following envelope sizes are supported. Other sizes can be used but performance is
not guaranteed.
• C4 (229 x 324 mm) Short Edge Feed or Long Edge Feed
• C5 (162 x 229 mm) Short Edge Feed or Long Edge Feed
• #10 (4.125 x 9.5 inches) Short Edge Feed
1. Always load envelopes with the flaps closed.
Do not use padded envelopes.
2. When loading in the SEF direction, place the flaps facing the back of the press. When
loading in the LEF direction, place the flaps facing the lead edge.
3. When submitting your network print file, select Custom Paper as the Paper Type.
Enter the dimensions of the envelope.
The width is measured from the lead edge to the trail edge of the envelope. For
example, if you are loading SEF, enter the long dimension of the envelope as the
width. If you are loading the envelope LEF, enter the short dimension of the envelope
as the width.
4. Enter a heavy paper weight value, such as 220 gsm, in the Paper Weight field.
5. Select the Bypass Tray as the Paper Source.
6. Store unused envelopes in their original packaging to avoid the excess moisture or
dryness that can affect print quality and cause wrinkling. Excessive moisture can
cause the envelopes to seal before or during printing.
Some wrinkling or embossing may occur when printing on envelopes. Successful envelope
printing depends on the quality and construction of the envelopes. Try another envelope
brand if problems occur.
