DocuColor 40 MATERIALS USAGE GUIDE
Hints, Tips and Testing Results
Xerox testing has shown the following:
•
When the recommended materials are run as detailed above;
with the correct tray, mode, orientation and curl, feeding
performance is good, but will not equal 24 lb Image Series LX
and 90 g/m
2
Colotech performance.
•
Coated papers are very susceptible to humidity. Image Mottle
(light patches in solid areas), or generally light image or
multisheet feeds may occur if paper is left open. To avoid this,
keep packages sealed; use sheets from the center of the ream;
or store unused paper in a self sealing bag. Placing desiccant in
the sealed packaging will prevent the paper from absorbing
excessive moisture.
•
Paper curl created when running side one can cause a high jam
rate with side two during two sided copying. If this occurs,
turning the paper over before imaging side one may improve
curl and feeding performance of side two.
Manually curling the lead edge of side one imaged sheets down
before loading them for side two, can also improve side two
feeding. Image quality on side two will also be reduced with
certain images. Light image patches (mottle) and deletions are
likely on side two especially in large halftone areas.
•
To avoid intermittent second side deletions, consider running a
coated cover stock 60lb / 160 g/m
2
or above.
•
Coated text papers 80lb / 120 g/m
2
can be run from Trays 2 and
3 without second side deletions. However, when running 80lb /
120 g/m
2
coated paper from Trays 2 and 3, customers may
experience reduced gloss on side two, first sheets out may
have higher gloss, multisheet feeds, jams and possibly poor
toner adhesion. If customers experience multisheet feeds,
they will need to run 10-25 blank sheets to clean off residual
toner that may be on the Fuser Roll.
•
Running coated papers other than 80 lb / 120 g/m
2
from Trays 2
and 3 may result in unacceptable performance.
