Printed Jobs

2. Setup
This chapter describes how to load tab stock into the paper tray and how to create tab masters.
Loading Tab Stock Into The Paper Trays
This procedure is the same for both copying and printing onto tab stock. NOTE Tab stock can only be loaded into Bypass Tray. The stock you are using for the body of the document should be loaded into any tray. Use 8.5 x 11 inch paper with 9 x 11 inch tab stock or A4 paper with A4 tab stock in the same orientation.

Bypass Tray

1. Load the Single Straight Collated tab stock into the bypass tray as follows: a) Tabs to the left with tab 1 on top and at the front of the tray. b) Tabs in standard order. If more than one set of tabs is required, the number and sequence of the tabs loaded must match the number and sequence of tabs to be printed. Any surplus tabs should be removed from each set prior to starting the job. c) If you have to reload tabs in case of jam or for any reason, please make sure tab 1 is on top and at front of the tray. 2. Move the rear guide against the rear edge of the tab stock.

Creating Tab Masters
Your document must contain a page with the text you want printed on the tab for each tab divider in the set. These are called the tab master pages and are the same size as the body of your document, either 8.5x11 inches or A4. The pages must be inserted in the correct place in your document. To create the tab master pages you can either use the Xerox Tab Template or create your own tab master pages.
Using Xerox Tab Master Templates
1. Xerox provides templates for 5 position tab masters for A4 or 8.5x11 inch documents in Microsoft Word. The templates can be downloaded from http://www.xerox.com - Search on Tab Template. - Select Templates for Laser Printers 2. Open the template you require, save it as another file and change the text on the tabs as required. 3. If you are making the tab masters for a copy job, print the tab master pages onto plain stock either 8.5x11 inches or A4 and insert the prints into the appropriate places in your original document. 4. If you are creating tab masters for a print job, cut and paste the tab master pages into the appropriate places in your document. 5. You are now ready to copy or print your job.

Creating Your Own Tab Master Pages
If you do not have access to the internet, or you use an application other than Microsoft Word, create your own tab master pages as follows: NOTE Your WorkCentre will copy the information printed on a standard A4 or 8.5x11 inch sheet of paper and shift the image to the right so that it is copied onto the tab. 1. Create a document with as many pages as you require tab dividers. 2. On each page create a text box on the right hand side of the page containing the text you want on each tab. Position the text box vertically to correspond with the tab positions. The text can be vertical, read from the left side of the page or read from the right side of the page.
3. Print the document onto plain paper. 4. Lay the prints of the tab master pages over the tab stock and check the vertical position of the text against each tab. You may need to adjust the vertical position of the text boxes on your master to make the text align correctly with the respective tabs. 5. If you are making the tab masters for a copy job, print the tab master pages onto plain stock either 8.5x11 inches or A4 and insert the prints into the appropriate places in your original document. 6. If you are creating tab masters for a print job, cut and paste the tab master pages into the appropriate places in your document. Note the page numbers of the tab master pages in your document. You will need this information later. 7. You are now ready to copy or print your job.
