USAGE GUIDELINES FOR XEROX COLOR COPIERS AND PRINTERS

If attempting to run two sided copies, run the side with the lightest image, or the side with no color (black-only) on side one, and the higher density, or the color image on side two. Load the side one copies in the (Also Called Tray 5) so that the trail edge of side one is used as the lead edge for side two.

While running side two, continuously monitor the copies as they exit the machine. Look at the back side (side one) of the copy to see of any image offsetting has occurred. If offsetting is seen, stop the job immediately and clean the fusing system. This condition will only get worse if more copies are run.

To clean the fusing system, run about 10 blank sheets of paper through the machine. When the bottom side of the blank sheets comes out clean, continue to run the side two copies. To run a large quantity of two-sided copies, you may need to intersperse short runs of two-copies between single-sided runs to keep the fusing system from becoming contaminated again.

Dry ink coverage on electronic originals should be limited to a total of 280% (70% for each color). Higher dry ink coverage can result in poorly fused prints.

If using a coated paper that has not been recommended, first try a small quantity to test its performance, then consult your local Xerox representative for agreement on its use.
