product, static may limit it’s ability to stack neatly in the OCT (offset catch tray) or other output devices. Also, this material retains a great deal of heat. Use caution when removing printed stacks and empty stacking devices every 25 ± 50 sheets to avoid blocking.

Proper cutting of the paper to be used is critical. Mills offering paper in cut sizes will convert papers using state of the art rotary slitters on high performance systems. Slitting and edge trimming by circular knives with dust removal at every cutting point prevents contamination issues.

Trimming papers from parent sheets to get the desired output size may generate dust if dull knifes are used. The recommendation is to delay trimming until printing has been finalized to prevent paper dust generation and contamination issues.

If pre-print trimming is imperative, special care must be taken to ensure that any loose fibers are removed before the paper is loaded into the machine trays. By thoroughly fanning the sheets and wiping down the edges with a cloth, most of these contaminants can be removed; however, an in- house maintenance program, including blade maintenance and dust removal with a vacuum or air system, will be key in achieving good results.

Carbonless papers are pressure sensitive papers that are coated with several functional coatings. These coatings promote image transfer through the form set and enable the form sets to separate appropriately after padding with a special adhesive. Xerox has enabled this application on DocuColor 5000AP by combining a unique paper coating chemistry (Xerox Premium Digital Carbonless), with a software ªswitchº designed to disable key machine components reducing the frequency of service calls. Since each supplier of xerographic carbonless papers has developed their own chemistry, the following procedure does not enable any other carbonless product.

Enter machine ªtoolsº mode (Refer to System Administration Guide for more information)

Touch ªMachine Defaults 3º tab on the machine User Interface (UI)

Enter Chain Link 700-920 on the UI key pad (hyphen will be added automatically)

Press ªStartº to display ªCurrent Valueº. ª0º (on) will be displayed.

Touch ª1º on the UI key pad. ª1º (off) appears in ªNew Valueº box.

Touch ªCloseº and then ªExit Toolsº on the UI touch screen

Note: This procedure must be performed at the start and end of each Xerox Premium Digital Carbonless Paper run. Failure to do so will lead to premature component failure.

As this machine is equipped with a friction feed device, the sheet sustains a small scuff mark visible on the CF and CFB sheets as it is fed from the trays.
