Xerox DocuPrint 180 manual Cleaning time between pitch mode changes

PRODUCT DIFFERENCES/USER CONSIDERATIONS

Cleaning time between pitch mode changes

Because the xerographic process places toner images on the photoreceptor belt, it is necessary for the printer to clean the system completely when switching to different modes. This cleaning process ensures that unprinted toner from one pitch mode is not deposited on sheets running in the other mode. This cleaning process requires approximately 25-30 seconds, during which time the system “dead cycles” before printing again. During this time, areas of the printer are running, but paper is not fed through the system.

Specialized papers The Xerox DocuPrint 180 printer handles paper differently from the 9790 and other Xerox LPS. Paper sensors and the paper path are not the same from one printing product to another. An application running special papers on a 9790, for example, may yield slightly different results when printed on the Xerox DocuPrint 180 LPS. Therefore, it is recommended that you test applications that use specialized papers to ensure that output is satisfactory.

Pay special attention to the following materials:

•

•

•

Die cut paper (paper with windows or areas cut out) must be tested to ensure that the sheet registers properly with paper sensors.

Multiple-thickness materials may cause stacking problems. Such problems may be alleviated by using the Bin Limits window or command to limit the number of sheets that can be stacked in a bin.

For information on the Bin Limits window and command, refer to the Xerox DocuPrint 180 LPS Operator Guide or the DocuPrint 180 LPS PC User Interface Reference.

Refer to Helpful Facts About Paper for more information on the selection, storage, and handling of papers for your DocuPrint 180 LPS.
