| Table |
|
|
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. |
|
|

| Swedish |
| • 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. |
| CAUTION: Running drilled paper containing paper plugs can damage the |
| photoreceptor. |

|
Storage tips | Follow general guidelines in Chapter 2, Managing your paper supply. |

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. |
