Xerox 701P40211 manual Job Printing Hints, Skipped Pitches

Hints and Tips System Guide

The DC 2045/2060/6060 print engine will also perform IQ adjustments if a difficult job is being processed and RIP falls behind the print output. If this occurs, the print engine will cycle down for a few seconds while the RIP catches up and then it will perform an IQ adjustment which will take anywhere from 5-95 seconds. During the IQ adjustment, the printer will not print anything. However, the RIP will continue and be slightly ahead. As soon as the printer finishes the IQ adjustment it will print all of the RIPped pages and catch up with the printer.

Job Printing Hints

The DC 6060 print engine cycles down on certain operations such as on tray/bank switches or between jobs. Each cycle may take 10-40 seconds to complete before the print engine is ready to print again. To avoid unnecessary print engine cycling, you can perform the following:

•Disable finishing, slip-sheets and offset stacking.

•Disable banner sheets when making multiple copies of a job.

•Avoid media tray switches by constructing the job to use only a single size, color, and weight of paper and by ensuring before running a job that the currently active tray has enough media loaded to print the entire job.

Skipped Pitches

To stop the cycle of skipped pitches and cycle the print engine down, perform one of the following to improve the overall job performance:

1.Process the job in N-1 order rather than 1-N order. This will force the job to be completely ripped before the print engine is started up. When the print engine starts it will consume pages at 60 ppm until all pages are printed.
