Printing on Tabs from the Print Server

Basic Procedure for Printing on Tabs from a Print Server

There are many types of tab stock and tab sequences available. Precut tabs are commonly
used and have two different orientations: the single straight collated tab stock or the
single reverse collated tab stock.
When programming tab jobs and loading tab stock, consider the following:
• Precut tabs can only print 1-sided
• There are specific job settings that you need to define such as tab order/sequence,
number of bank sets, stock weight, paper size, and insertion before or after body
pages. Refer to your print server documentation for more detailed setting information.
• Always load tab stock LEF into the tray where the straight edge of the stock is the
lead edge and the tabs are oriented at the trail edge.
• Always use a complete set or bank or tabs in the paper tray.
• If staple or punch finishing, use tray 5 or trays 6 or 7 (if available).
The following are the basic steps for printing tabs on your press.
1. From the print server, create and define the Tab stock for the paper tray you will be
using.
2. Load the Tab stock in Trays 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 or 7.
3. From the print server window, access the Held queue that contains your document.
Select the document you want to configure with tabs. Double click to open the file's
properties.
4. Once all settings are made, select Print.
The press prints the complete set of tabs with the body pages defined. Any extra
tabs not used in the job are sent to the output tray.

Tips for Printing on Tabs from the EX Print Server

Use the following tips for printing on tabs from the EX Print Server:
• The EX Print Server allows for setting up your job to print on tabs. Otherwise, you can
set up your job to insert preprinted tabs into your document. Use one tray for the
body pages, another tray for the preprinted tab stock, and another tray for cover or
back pages.
• While you can print tab stock from any of the paper trays on the system (Trays 1, 2,
3, 5, 6 or 7), Trays 6 and 7 should be used for best results. If you plan to apply staple
or punch finishing, use Trays 5, 6 or 7 only.
• Loading orientation depends on what tray you are using.
