Default Direct Printing on Divider Paper

Suzanne, I have never come across the "folded" tabs stock, I have a source of
blank 1-5 and 1-10 on Oversize A4, these are not from Avery as the Avery
stock tend to have their logo and coding on and I want to print full page as
well as on the tab.
But I used the templates from their website to get a good starting point for
my templates, I only needed a slight adjustment to the text boxes ovee the
"tabs" to get a good result.
The stock is presented to my printer; a Xerox 7235 which is getting old now
:-( ; via the manual feed long edge without tabs first and I rotate the print
image by 180 deg. and this works very well.

I don't know if they're still made, but didn't Avery use to make oversized
tabbed dividers with the tabs initially folded in, so that they could be
printed that way? I would still be concerned about the tabs setting chewed
up, though, since printing on them is a little different from feeding an
envelope, where the flap is on the opposite side to the printed one.

As previously mentioned, your printer must be able to handle the
"oversize"
stock.
If it does, you may find you have to rotate your print image by 180 deg.
as
usually the printer will take the divider "backwards", i.e. the non-tabbed
side first.

To get you started, go to the Avery or MS websites as they have pre-setup
templates for the various types of dividers, just download the one you
want,
i.e. the stock size, say Oversize A4, and what design of tabs, say 1-5
tabs,
and off you go.

Hope this helps
