PRODUCT DIFFERENCES/USER CONSIDERATIONS

System page size

The Xerox DocuPrint 180 maximum imaging area (that is, the system page) measures 14- by 17-inches.

Virtual page size

The default virtual page size is identical to the physical page size. If a virtual page size is user-defined, the virtual page is centered relative to the physical page. A user-defined virtual page may not be larger than the paper size value; larger dimensions are truncated.

Error messages

If any part of a print line originates off the system page, the following message is displayed:

OS6905 DATA ORIGIN OFF PAGE -- CHECK OUTPUT.

This message appears only once during a print job. It indicates a print line origin problem within the form description or an excessive SHIFT value. Refer to Xerox LPS Forms Creation Guide and Xerox DocuPrint 180 LPS Message Guide for more information.

Deletions

The Xerox DocuPrint 180 printer utilizes the newest xerographic advancements, providing good solid black print quality and spot control. However, in certain circumstances, there is a possibility that toner from the photoreceptor may not completely transfer to a sheet of paper before it is fused and sent to the output bin. This occurrence is known as a deletion. Generally, deletions will result in a small area of the printed page appearing lighter than the rest of the page. For example, a few letters of a word may appear lighter than the rest of the word.

To help reduce the occurrence of deletion, the Xerox DocuPrint 180 printer has been fitted with a four-segment transfer blade which presses the paper onto the photoreceptor during toner transfer. This blade is automatically activated based on the paper size setting in the job descriptor and does not involve any operator interaction or loss of productivity.

There are two different transfer blades: one for 60Hz systems and one for 50Hz systems. Each blade can adjust to four paper size lengths as follows:

60 Hz blade: 11-, 11.69-, 13-, and 14-inch (279-, 297-, 330-, 356-mm)

50 Hz blade: 10-, 11-, 11.69-, and 13-inch (254-, 279-, 297-, 330-mm).
