Xerox 144, 120 specifications Printer Module

Xerox Nuvera® 100/120/144 EA Digital Production System - Customer Expectations Document

•DFA devices do not support single page offsetting specified within the job or set. Offset at job or set boundary is supported. Single page job or set will offset.

•There is no floppy drive on Nuvera®. Resource loading may be accomplished via the LTO Tape option, QIC tape or over the network.

•The FreeFlow™ Print Manager Applet (previously available via clicking on the “Job Submission Applet” in the Web Browser) is no longer included with the system. Note that the standalone FreeFlow™ Print Manger product continues to be available for purchase.

•Stapling and hole-punching cannot be invoked together from FreeFlow™ applications. If this is required, a queue override can be used to invoke stapling or hole-punching.

Printer Module

•This is not a print to edge system due to potential image quality defects on the edge of the page.

•Printing on SRA3 can result in inboard and outboard edge image quality defects.

•The Nuvera® Digital Production System provides very good support for imaging on pre-printed materials. However, to obtain best results, please follow the guidelines outlined here:

Design the pre-printed image so that no ink, varnish, or aqueous coating is placed in the area to be printed on by Nuvera®. Toner does not adhere as well to the stock when printing over inks or

varnish. If Nuvera® must print over pre-printed ink, results are more likely to be acceptable if the color is screened back to less than 30%, or an uncoated base stock is used.

Use a laser-compatible printing process for the pre-printed stock. Choose inks, varnishes, and coatings that are temperature stable and have low levels of petroleum distillates. UV-cured inks

are recommended, to insure complete curing before printing on with Nuvera®. Do not use stock on Nuvera® that has been pre-printed on xerographic equipment.

Select base paper stock approved for use on Nuvera® (see the Compatible Media List section).

There are other factors that should be taken into account to successfully print on pre-printed stocks.

Refer to the Xerox Nuvera® DPS Paper Guide, available on Xerox.com, for additional considerations and performance expectations.

•8½” x 14” paper is loaded short edge feed and runs at 72 pages per minute simplex on 120 and 144 PPM configurations and runs at 60 pages per minute on a 100 PPM configuration. Refer to the Printer Module Section for a summary of engine speed for various paper sizes.

•When feeding paper smaller than 8½” (216mm) in the cross process direction, there may be some degradation of image quality. It is recommended that the customer test their applications for such cases.

Inserter Module

•LCDS and IPDS applications are currently not able to pull paper stocks from the Insertion Module.

Finishing Devices

Finishing Transport Module (FTM) with Document Finishing Architecture (DFA) finishing

•Substrates that tend to exhibit curl when being fed through the Xerox Nuvera® system can cause functional problems in the finishing devices. In most cases, the Sheet Enhancement Module will deliver flat output. In cases where the output may still need adjustment, you can fine tune the Sheet Enhancement Module controls or you can manually specify the amount of decurling you prefer. See the ‘User Guide and Training Aid: How Do I? – Manage Paper Curl’, for additional information.

•The DS5000, Bourg BDFx, and Xerox Square Fold Booklet Maker support a specific range of coated paper; all other supported inline DFA finishing devices do not support coated paper. Refer to specific solution planning guides for details.
