The Stock Library and Media Compatibility Guide

The Stock Library contains the paper-related information that is maintained by the system operator at the system interface.

Each stock in the Stock Library has a set of stock settings that describe the paper to the system. The attributes allow you to print a job with multiple stocks. The Xerox Nuvera uses the attribute information to make internal adjustments throughout the printer on a sheet-by-sheet basis.

In the Stock Library, the preloaded stocks contain the Xerox recommended settings for each stock. If custom stocks are added to the Stock Library, the stock attribute information must be accurate to prevent image quality and paper handling problems. When image quality and/or paper handling problems occur, check the stock settings. You can check the paper packaging to be sure the stock attributes are correct.

The operator assigns stocks from the Stock Library to individual paper trays, which makes the stock information available to each
