Xerox Nuvera Managing your paper supply
Paper Guide 2-11
Inserter hints and tips
An inserter is a feeder module that is positioned between the print engine and the finishing
device.
An inserter allows you to insert preprinted, blank, or other stocks into your documents. Stocks
that are fed from an inserter do not pass through the fuser.
Inserter trays are loaded and programmed in the same ways that feeder trays are loaded and
programmed.
Stock names
The system uses the stock name to locate stock in feeder and inserter trays. If the same stock is
programmed in a feeder paper tray and an inserter paper tray, the system will choose the feeder
tray over the inserter tray.
To avoid using the wrong tray, the stock can be copied and renamed with a unique name. The
feeder and inserter can then be programmed with one version or the other.
Stock orientation
Load inserter trays as you load feeder trays. Refer to the label in the tray for help with orienting
your stocks in the tray.
The Xerox Nuvera will allow you to stack printed jobs face up or face down. The default is to
print jobs face down, which is the recommended orientation when using an inserter. If a job is
printed face up, sheets fed from the inserter may be oriented incorrectly.
When printing from feeder and inserter trays, pay special attention to stock orientation.
Paper handling
Xerox has tested a wide variety of stocks for use with an inserter.
• Regular stocks feed well from inserter trays.
• Many specialty stocks, such as tabs, transparencies, business cards, and trifold brochures
can be fed successfully from an inserter.
