 MAJESTIK 5760/5765 MATERIALS USAGE GUIDE
Preprinted Papers
Material Description & Expectations
This category encompasses a wide variety of materials.  Offset 
printed Letterhead papers and Xerographic Prints, within the 
recommended paper weight range, will feed reliably in the 5760/
5765.  Copies produced on laser, ink jet, or dot matrix printers, 
carbonless paper, raised/engraved copies, and preprinted forms, 
using various inks (with and without MICR), have not been tested 
and should be considered in the not recommended category.
Recommended Materials
Offset printed Letterhead and Xerographic Prints
 from 16 lb 
bond (60 gsm) to 90 lb index (163 gsm).
Steps for Success
1 Ensure paper is within the 5760/5765’s paper weight range.
2 For best feeding performance, run all preprinted sheets from the 
Paper Tray Bypass.  If paper is heavier than 28 lb bond (105 
gsm), run it in the Heavy Paper Mode.
3 Allow preprinted sheets to dry completely before loading them 
into the copier/printer.
4 The preprinted ink should have a low conductivity and will have to 
withstand the high fuser temperature of the 5760/5765 (155° C/
310° F).
5 Keep the preprinted sheets free from curl.  Ensure that sheets are 
flat or have a slight lead edge downcurl when loaded into the 
bypass paper tray.
6 To minimize jams, store preprinted sheets carefully.  Avoid 
damaging the edges or corners of the paper and protect 
preprinted sheets from humid conditions that will lead to image 
quality problems.
Hints, Tips & Testing Results
Xerox testing has shown the following:
Some inks from preprinted materials may cause deletions, 
offsetting or contamination.  Select a surface-drying , laser-
compatible ink designed for reproduction on color copier/
printers. An example is TuffText by Vanson.  Your offset printer 
representative may be able to specify an ink with similar 
characteristics.
Two-sided copying/printing onto preprinted materials is not 
recommended.  In many cases, deletions will occur if you
