Your new Xerox Nuvera is capable of feeding a wide range of media. However, incorrect
tray media programming greatly degrades the feeding performance in the form of misfeed
or multifeed jams. Ensure that the media basis weight is correctly programmed. The media
weight is usually located on the ream wrapper. Refer to the
attached C o m p a r i s o n o f B a s i s W e i g h t s o f P a p e r chart for more details concerning
different types of papers (Bond, Cover, etc.) and to convert lbs. to gsm (g/m2) for
programming.
Copier/Printer:
Refer to the following table for selecting the correct media weight category for
the media in use.
Job Program Type

Paper Basis Weight
Bond Paper (lbs.)
gsm or g/m 2

NORMAL (56-84 gsm)

56 – 84

15–22

MEDIUM (85-105 gsm)

85 –105

23–27

HEAVY (106-216 gsm)

106 –216

28–58

Production System:
Ensure that you select or enter the actual weight (in gsm) of the media in use.
2.

While loading paper into the tray, adjust the side and trail edge guides snug against
the stack after loading the first ream, and then fill the remainder of the tray.
Snug guides minimize the possibility of skew in your job output.

3.

Ensure the finger of the stack height sensor is free and rests above the top of the stack
before closing the tray.

4.

Fan the paper ream before loading it into the tray
This action breaks edge bonds present in the ream, minimizing jams caused by paper
edge welds and ream glue.

5.

Use media in good physical condition.
Paper containing wrinkles, tears, curl, waves, ream wrapper glue, excessive moisture,
etc. will degrade the system feeding performance.

PAPER GRADE
CLASSIFICATIONS
PAPER GRADE CLASSIFICATIONS
Paper may be defined in terms of its use. Each grade serves a purpose, usually
suggested by its grade name. Some of the most common classifications of printing
papers are BOND, COATED, TEXT, COVER, OFFSET, and INDEX. The size shown in
parentheses is the basis size for that grade.
BOND (17 X 22) These papers are commonly used for letterhead, letters, flyers, promos
and business forms. They have surfaces that accept toner and ink readily for a copier or
printing press. Most letterheads and flyers are a standard 8 1/2” x 11” size. Within the
bond paper family, sheets are classified by number. The number indicates whether the
sheet is a “rag bond” or a “sulfite bond”. Examples are 1524 is a #7 sulfite bond, where a
cotton content sheet (rag bond) would be a #1-4, depending on % of cotton.
COATED (25 x 38) These papers are used when high copying and printing quality are
desired because of its superior surface smoothness. There are many kinds: gloss coated,
dull coated, matte coated, coated one & two side. Coated sheets are classified as #1, #2,
#3, #4 grades, #1 being whitest and brightest. Xerox offers Ultra Spec Gloss Coated and
Color Xpressions C1S 8pt and 10pt.
TEXT (25 X 38) These papers are noted for their interesting textures and attractive
colours. They enjoy frequent use for announcements, booklets, annual reports and
brochures. The most common text basis weights are 60, 70, and 80lb. These papers are
very unique and expensive.
COVER (20 X 26) These papers complement coated and text papers in heavier weights
and matching colours for use as covers on books, etc. Special characteristics of cover
are stability, durability, good scoring and folding. It is a rule of thumb that cover stocks of
the same basis weight as text paper have about twice the thickness. The most common
cover basis weights are 60, 65, and 80lb. Xerox sheets include Color Xpressions 65lb,
80lb, and Ultra Spec Gloss Coated 60lb cover.
OFFSET (25 X 38) These papers are used in the book publishing industry. They are less
expensive than text papers, and are made in several finishes. Offset papers have a wider
range of weights and bulk than text or bond sheets. Sizing is added to the sheet to resist
the slight moisture present in offset printing, and the surface is treated to resist picking.
Offset sheets are classified as #1 and #2 grades, #1 being of higher brightness. Many
Xerox products are offset compatable.
INDEX (25 1/2 X 30 1/2) These sheets have two outstanding characteristics, stiffness and
receptivity to writing ink. Commonly used whenever an inexpensive stiff paper is required.
The most common Index weights available are 90lb and 110lb. Xerox stocks 90lb, white
and colours.
