5 Operational Considerations
Image Quality Expectations
Image Quality
The C8000 series is designed to produce consistent uniform looking color and monochrome prints and copies in the product’s specified Average Monthly
Print Volume range.
The C8000 series is designed to produce a uniform image. Image Quality is subjective and can be impacted by lighting, and is strongly influenced by
paper (consult the Recommended Materials List).
Quality, Color Management & Print Resolution
The appearance of the document displayed on the computer monitor screen may not match the output print due to the following reasons:
The range of colors that can be produced in print is different than the range of colors that can be displayed on a computer display.
Different display technologies have different reproductions of color
Printed colors appear differently under different light sources.
The customer is responsible for calibrating by using the provided copy and print calibration routines.
The Postscript and PCL drivers contain the ability to adjust the print quality. Image adjustments include Color correction modes, ability to render images
at either 600x600 (contone or binary) or 1200x1200 dpi (binary only). All images are marked at 2400 x 1200 dpi. ICC profiles can adjust how RGB and
CMYK objects are reproduced. There are differences between the PS, XPS and PCL driver based on PDL image-path limitations.
When the print drivers "Color" output mode is selected, grayscale images in MS Office applications may print using composite grays, which contain a
visually neutral combination of C, M, Y and K.
Pages are not guaranteed to print and bill as monochrome unless the "Black and White" output color mode is selected in the print driver.
Print Expectations
Duplex (2-sided) Copying / Printing
The Xerox
®
C8000 can automatically perform two-sided (duplex) copying or printing on media size up to 12x19” (SRA3) and non-coated 220 gsm paper
or coated 169gsm paper.
Manual duplex can be performed on media up to 110 lb Cover (300gsm) 12x19” (SRA3) from Tray 5 (Bypass).
Full duplex print productivity is achieved except when paper exits to the top center tray.
Image-to-Paper Registration
Printing registration specifications for 8.5 x 11” (A4) size media are ±1.5 mm (side 1), ±1.9 mm (side 2) along the lead edge and ±2.0mm (side 1), ±2.4mm
(side 2) mm along the side edge from Trays 1-4. Lead Edge is ±2.2 mm and Side edge ±3.0 mm for bypass tray.
Skew registration specification from side to side feeding for 8.5 x 11” (A4) size media from Tray 1-4 is ±3 mm on simplex side and ±4 mm on duplex side.
Bypass tray skew is ±4 mm.
USB Print
USB Media Print enables walk-up users to print “Print-Ready” files (PDF, XPS, TIFF, JPEG, TXT) files directly from most standard (FAT-32 formatted) USB
Thumb Drives.
Files are sent directly from the USB drive to the print controller.
Print Around
The Print Around feature holds a job needing additional resources (such as a different paper size) and prints the next job in queue. This function allows
the device to keep working, while making sure jobs are printed correctly.
