Hints, Tips and Testing Results
Xerox testing has shown the following:
•
The Xerox Premium Transparencies, U.S./Canada 3R5765, and
Rank Xerox 3R93179, provide brighter/cleaner colors than the
standard transparencies.
•
Be careful when handling transparencies. Dry ink (toner)
cannot penetrate into the surface of the transparency.
Therefore, any damage to the surface of the transparency will
affect the quality of the image.
•
A light, oily residue may be present on the transparency after
copying. This residue will eventually disappear, but it may be
removed by gently wiping the surface with a cloth or tissue.
•
Transparencies should be run in Interleaf Mode or batches of no
more than 25 at a time. This is to help clean the oil (that would
normally absorb into paper) from the fuser and pressure rolls.
During a long run of transparencies not in Interleaf Mode, feed 5
sheets of blank paper through the copier/printer after each run
of 25 transparencies. Place a blank sheet on the document
glass and use the Black Mode for the paper copies.
•
If the transparencies stick together or multifeed jams occur,
remove them from the Paper Tray Bypass and fan them
vigorously.
•
The recommended Xerox Transparencies are specifically made
for use in color copiers/printers. Because of the wide variety of
transparencies available, it is impossible to predict how other
types will perform.
•
If a jam occurs while using transparencies, look carefully to
locate the jammed transparency and remove it before
proceeding. If the jammed transparency cannot be located or
removed, the Xerox Service Representative should be called.
•
When running non-Xerox transparencies, always pretest a small
amount of material to determine image quality and feeding
performance before purchasing a large quantity.
CAUTION:
If you cannot find or clear a jammed transparency, do
not run another transparency or paper copy. Copier/Printer damage
will occur if another sheet is run while a transparency is jammed in
the fuser area (out of operator view).
CAUTION:
Do not attempt to remove a transparency that is firmly
jammed in the fuser. Only a Xerox Service Representative should
attempt to remove this type of transparency jam.
