CAUTION
Running drilled paper containing paper plugs can damage the photoreceptor.
Drilled Paper
Description Drilled paper has two or more holes along one edge so it can be placed in a ring
binder or spiral bound. A plastic reinforcement strip is placed on the drilled edge of
some papers to prevent tearing from the holes.
Selection tips • Most drilled papers with common hole patterns will run reliably. Common hole
patterns include, 3-hole standard, 7-hole, European din 4-hole, Swedish 4-hole,
Norwegian 6-hole.
• Some hole configurations, especially holes that are close to the edge of the
sheet, will cause frequent jams. Test a small quantity before making a large
purchase.
• Sheets should not stick together at the holes (hole welding caused by a dull drill).
• Paper plugs should not be present in the holes.
Storage tips Follow general guidelines in Chapter 2.
Usage tips • Load drilled paper with the holes on the lead edge (left side) of the paper tray.
Paper handling will be best when holes are loaded at the trail edge.
Note
When feeding tab stock and drilled stock in the same job, the drilled stock must be
loaded with the holes on the leading edge, not the trail edge, so that the stock
orientation is the same as for the tab stock.
• Load reinforced paper with the plastic strip facing down.

• Catalog Envelopes: Use only 6”x9”, 7”x10”, C5 (162x229mm), or 178x254mm
