Regal 5790 Materials Usage Guide
Introduction
This guide provides the information and guidelines that should be
used when selecting papers or other materials to be used in a 5790
Digital Color Copier/Printer. The feeding reliability and the
performance characteristics that can be expected from the 5790
when using the specified paper stocks and other selected materials
are also provided. In addition, techniques related to the use of these
specific materials are given.
The first section, Recommended Materials,contains a chart
which lists all materials that are recommended for use in the 5790.
Following this chart, a second section, Usage Guidelines,
includes guidelines for selecting and using various materials, such
as transparencies, heavy-weight paper, and the transfer paper used
for T-shirts.
The third section, Applications,provides step-by-step procedures
to use when running certain types of jobs.
The fourth section, About Paper,gives you information about
some of the properties of paper that are important to the operation of
the 5790 and the quality of the copies produced.
The last section, Paper Storage,provides useful tips for the proper
handling and storage of paper.
Xerox has an on-going materials testing program for the 5790. As
new information, materials, or recommendations become available,
they will be included in revisions to this guide. Your Xerox
representative may also advise you of materials usage information
before it can be included in a revision to this guide.
The materials with Xerox part numbers, listed in this guide, can be
purchased by calling the Xerox Supply Net at 1-800-822-2200 (in

Recommended Materials
This symbol is used to indicate materials that will provide optimum
performance. The Regal 5790 was designed to provide optimum
performance with 16 to 28 lb bond paper (60 to 105 gsm).
Other materials can be used with varying degrees of success. Some
materials will run better if specific guidelines are followed.
This symbol prompts you to refer to the Usage Guidelines later in
this Guide for the type of material shown.
When using materials shown with this symbol, you should expect a
higher jam rate than when using 16 to 28 lb (60 to 105 gsm) paper.
Some of these materials will also cause image quality problems (i.e.
mottle) with certain images.
If you are uncertain of the ability of a specific material to perform well
in your Regal 5790, consult with your Xerox representative and test
the material before purchasing a large quantity.
Order Xerox materials from Xerox Supply Net, 1-800-822-2200 (in
