USAGE GUIDELINES10 REGAL 5790 MATERIALS USAGE GUIDERecycled PapersMaterial Description & ExpectationsMost recycled papers are made from a combination of new pulp,waste from the paper-making process, and paper that has beenreturned by consumers for recycling. Because the nature of paperreturned for recycling is unpredictable, recycled papers are lessuniform in content and quality than papers made from entirely newfiber. The recommended Xerox recycled papers offer the best feedperformance and image quality available. The Xerox papersundergo exclusive screening procedures to minimize the amount ofharmful inks and plastic particles in the final product. Therecommended recycled papers will run well in the 5790 but thereduced smoothness, formation and brightness will result indegraded image quality as compared to the primary 24 lb ImageSeries LX paper.Recommended MaterialsXerox 20 lb Recycled Business Paper, 8.5 x 11” = 3R5130Xerox 20 lb Recycled Business Paper, 11 x 17” = 3R5133Steps for Success1 The recommended recycled papers should be run using thesame procedures as standard paper.2 If running a recycled paper heavier than 28 lb bond (105 gsm)use the instructions for Heavy-Weight Papers.Hints, Tips & Testing ResultsXerox testing has shown the following:• Severe image quality problems are likely if non-recommendedrecycled papers are run. If you plan to use a recycled paperother than the Xerox brand, first try a small quantity to test itsperformance, then consult your local Xerox representative foragreement on its use.• The wide variation in recycled paper fibers increases thetendency for these papers to curl, which may result in jams. Ifan obvious curl is detected, load that paper in the bypass papertray with the curl down for best feeding performance.• Two-sided copying with recycled papers is not recommended.The inherently poor image quality of recycled papers onlybecomes worse when the second side is run.• To avoid making a marginal material worse, all recycled papersshould be stored in sealed packages when not in use. Imagequality on exposed papers will degrade even more as humidityincreases.12 3. . .
