Xerox Nuvera® 100/120/144 EA Digital Production System - Customer Expectations Document
•Paper latitudes are unique for each inline finishing solution.
•The Xerox SquareFold Booklet Maker Covers Insertion Module (CIM) is not supported for the SquareFold Booklet Maker. As an alternative, the Inserter Module can be used for covers insertion except when sending LCDS or IPDS jobs. The Bourg BDFx Booklet Maker with the BCFx Covers Feeder can be used with LCDS or IPDS jobs that require covers.
•Supported Inline DFA Finishing Solutions are compatible with specific Xerox Nuvera® configurations. Consult finisher module details in this document and, for more details, the Solutions Planning Guideline for the selected DFA Finishing device. The Finishing Solutions Planning Guides can be accessed by Xerox sales Reps at
Basic Finishing Module (BFM) and Basic Finishing Module Plus (BFM Plus)
•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 BFM and BFM Plus do not offset paper sizes larger than 11x17" / A3. This means that 12x18 or 12x18.5 cannot be offset. For these sizes, software ignores any offset programming selection.
•For reliable stacking, stack size should be limited for certain jobs:
•Banner and slip sheets should be greater than or equal to 90 gsm (24 lb bond)
•
•When stapling sets with mixed size stock, the stock must be the same dimension in the Across Feed direction, and the dimension differences should be within 13mm (½”) in the feed direction.
•Drilled paper must be loaded with the holes leading (e.g. to the left) when using two Basic Finishing Modules.
Multifunction Finisher
•Statement size paper (5.5” x 8.5”) and Envelopes (as noted above) will be delivered only to the top tray.
•Staple locations for
•Substrates that tend to exhibit curl when being fed through the Xerox Nuvera® system can cause functional problems in the finishing devices. On MFF systems (which do not include the Sheet Enhancement Module), it may be necessary to adjust the Print Engine decurler in order to get the substrate to become flatter, so that the finisher runs with optimal performance. The proper Print Engine decurler setting will vary depending on the substrate and the ambient environmental conditions. Paper left opened overnight may exacerbate curl.
•Tearing of booklet covers near the staples can occur with booklets using 9 or more sheets of paper, under the following conditions: a) there is high image coverage around the gutter area on the inside of the cover or on the inside or outside gutters of the first couple of booklet sheets (note that gutter area image coverage on the innermost sheet of the booklet is OK), or, b) the cover stock is smooth and/or lightweight (<80gsm). With certain other stocks (coated stocks, or uncoated stocks with high area coverage Xerographic Color Images), the cover tearing can occur even with booklets containing less than 9 sheets of paper.
