Regal 5790 Materials Usage Guide

Introduction

This guide provides the information and guidelines that should be

used when selecting papers or other materials to be used in a 5790

Digital Color Copier/Printer. The feeding reliability and the

performance characteristics that can be expected from the 5790

when using the specified paper stocks and other selected materials

are also provided. In addition, techniques related to the use of these

specific materials are given.

The first section, Recommended Materials,contains a chart

which lists all materials that are recommended for use in the 5790.

Following this chart, a second section, Usage Guidelines,

includes guidelines for selecting and using various materials, such

as transparencies, heavy-weight paper, and the transfer paper used

for T-shirts.

The third section, Applications,provides step-by-step procedures

to use when running certain types of jobs.

The fourth section, About Paper,gives you information about

some of the properties of paper that are important to the operation of

the 5790 and the quality of the copies produced.

The last section, Paper Storage,provides useful tips for the proper

handling and storage of paper.

Xerox has an on-going materials testing program for the 5790. As

new information, materials, or recommendations become available,

they will be included in revisions to this guide. Your Xerox

representative may also advise you of materials usage information

before it can be included in a revision to this guide.

The materials with Xerox part numbers, listed in this guide, can be

purchased by calling the Xerox Supply Net at 1-800-822-2200 (in

U.S. and Canada).

Recommended Materials

This symbol is used to indicate materials that will provide optimum

performance. The Regal 5790 was designed to provide optimum

performance with 16 to 28 lb bond paper (60 to 105 gsm).

Other materials can be used with varying degrees of success. Some

materials will run better if specific guidelines are followed.

This symbol prompts you to refer to the Usage Guidelines later in

this Guide for the type of material shown.

When using materials shown with this symbol, you should expect a

higher jam rate than when using 16 to 28 lb (60 to 105 gsm) paper.

Some of these materials will also cause image quality problems (i.e.

mottle) with certain images.

If you are uncertain of the ability of a specific material to perform well

in your Regal 5790, consult with your Xerox representative and test

the material before purchasing a large quantity.

Order Xerox materials from Xerox Supply Net, 1-800-822-2200 (in

U.S. and Canada).
