Heavy-Weight Papers
8
The following guidelines have been developed as a result of
extensive testing of the materials shown. Use these procedures to
obtain the best performance from materials indicated with the Book
and Magnifying Glass symbol.
Material Description & Expectations
Heavy-Weight Papers are those classified as greater than 28 lb
bond (105 gsm). As compared to the primary 24 lb (90 gsm) papers,
they offer increased stiffness but will generally have degraded
image quality due to their rough surface and coarse formation. An
increase in jams is also likely. Two-sided copying of heavy-weight
papers is not recommended because of frequent jams and image
quality problems.
Recommended Materials
Xerox 32 lb LXC (120 gsm) 8.5 x 11" = 3R4811, 11 x 17" = 3R4813
Xerox 90 lb Index (163 gsm) 8.5 x 11" = 3R3004, 17 x 11" =
3R5102
The Xerox 17 x 11" 90 lb Index is a specially cut, short-grain
paper.

Steps for Success
1 Run all Heavy-Weight Papers from the Paper Tray Bypass.
2 Select Heavy Paper Mode.
3 Load all paper with curl down in the tray.
4 All 11 x 17" Heavy-Weight Papers must be short grain.
5 All papers heavier than 32 lb (120 gsm) must be run with the
grain parallel to the leading edge. For example:
Run 8.5 x 11" long-grain with the 11" edge as the lead edge.
Run 17 x 11" short-grain with the 11" edge as the lead edge.
11 x 17 long-grain, heavy-weight papers cannot be run.
6 If jams occur, manually curl the lead edge down before loading to
reduce jamming.
7 Improperly clearing heavy-weight jams can cause machine
damage. When clearing jammed sheets (especially important
with 11 x 17 inch sheets), first try clearing the jam from the Paper
