and other "harsh environment" applications. They also offer excellent bond strength with laminating
film.
Customers can run DuraPaper and other Teslin-like materials from any tray. The recommended
weight setting is 187-300 gsm for optimum transfer and fusing. In this weight range, automatic
duplexing is not supported; however, duplex images can be generated manually by printing side one
first and then returning the prints to the paper tray in the correct orientation (imaged side down) and
then printing side two.

Label stocks may be run from internal trays 1 and 2, as well as optional SFM trays 3 and 4. When
designing label applications, it is recommended to leave
die-cut lines. Many different configurations and templates are available. Refer to the Recommended
Materials List or your Xerox Supplies Representative for ordering information.

When printing on heavyweight coated papers (250-300 gsm), especially 2-sided with heavy toner
coverage, some "blocking" may occur. This is when sheets stick together in the output device and the
image peels away when separated. Heat retained by the paper and toner, and pressure from the
weight of the stack, are the leading causes. If this problem is encountered, there are several ways to
minimize the likelihood of occurrence.
1)
Position an 8" diameter fan such that it cools and fluffs the output stack on the OCT (offset
catch tray). This may affect the integrity of the stack.
2)
Run job to the offset catch tray, remove small stacks (25 sheets at a time), fan the sheets, and
then re-stack. This would require operator intervention.
3)
Run stock SEF (short edge feed) with and without the fan. Printing speeds will be reduced.

When running tinted stocks, color rendition will be dependent upon the shade chosen. Although the
DFE (digital front end) RIP (raster image processor) has the ability to calibrate to a white background,
it cannot do so with tints. The resulting printed colors may not match those selected on your screen.
Please verify that color rendition meets your requirements before committing to a production scale
run.

Window decals are a composite product involving a film material and backing sheet. When the
backing is peeled away, a tacky surface combined with static allows the material to "cling" to glass
and other smooth surfaces. Applications include signage as well as window displays. For best
results, it is recommended to run window decals from any tray in the 187-300 gsm range. A custom
paper profile may be required in order to achieve premium image quality. Due to the nature of this
