2, 3, and 4 hole drilled / punched papers can be run from any tray in DC5000AP. Papers with 3 holes, however, will require an extra step to run successfully due to interference between the center hole and machine sensors. First, go to NVM Read / Write in the tools mode (refer to the System Administration Guide Tools Mode Chapter) and enter chain link 700-545. Change the default setting from “1000” (on) to “0” (off). Please remember to reset the default value to “1000” when you are finished running 3 hole drilled / punched papers. Failure to do so may result in degraded image quality, an increase in service calls, and damage to the machine.

Transparencies can be run from any tray. For more information on loading transparencies, refer to the Operator’s Manual. Use only the recommended Xerox transparencies to ensure optimum image quality and transmission efficiencies when projected. Overhead Projector (OHP) sizes are limited to 8.5”x11” in the US, and A4 in Europe. For best results use transparency 3R5765 (US/Canada) and 3R93179 (Europe).

To ensure consistent image quality and minimize streaking, only 500 transparencies should be run at one time. If a larger run is required, it is recommended to break the job up into smaller ones and print approximately 25-50 sheets of regular paper between sets to absorb any excess fuser oil.

Even though paper backed transparencies will run through the system, it is important to be aware that productivity enhancements may be offset by image quality degradation. Even when run at the slowest speed possible by selecting the 187-300 gsm for the weight, image quality on paper-backed transparencies will likely be inferior to that which can be achieved by using the recommended removable stripe transparencies and running them in the OHP mode.

Coated papers have binders, adhesives, and pigments applied to their surfaces on one or both sides. As compared to Xerox Digital Color Xpressions + 24 lb, coated papers will provide improved image quality and gloss.

Coated papers are susceptible to humidity. Image mottle (light patches in solid area) or light images overall will occur if paper is not kept packaged in environments with more than 40% humidity. To avoid this, keep packages sealed and store unused paper in a resealable bag.

The surface of coated paper is susceptible to scratches and fingerprints. Handle all coated stocks carefully and avoid excessive handling. Keep all work areas clean, as dust or dirt can scratch the surface of coated papers.
