5 Operational Considerations
Image Quality Expectations
Image Quality
•
The C60/C70 series is designed to produce consistent uniform prints
and copies in the product’s specified Average Monthly Print Volume
range.
•
The C60/C70 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).
•
Color consistency of DeltaE ≤ 7 within a page
•
The Xerox Color C60/C70 Printer uses a low melt EA toner which is
the same type as used by the X700. When compared to the toner
currently being used on the DC2XX family - customers will notice
lower gloss (consistent to the matte finish of offset prints) and less
color saturation (but improved detail in shadows, etc). Should the
customer wish to achieve a glossier finish – they can use the
enhanced gloss mode to achieve that look– though it may not be as
glossy as what they are accustomed to seeing on the DC2XX family.
If you plan to run C60/C70 prints through other equipment, it is
highly recommended you test the application before committing to
the job. Many factors (operating temperature of the fuser, fuser oils,
fix reaction of toner/inks) impact the success of running C60/C70
prints in other equipment

•
When feeding HW2 and/or coated stock it is highly
recommended to feed from tray 5 (Bypass) or trays 6/7 (OHCF)
due to the degraded feeding performance of these papers
through trays 1-4.
•
8.5x11/A4 may perform better when fed long edge feed (LEF)
•
Coated 1 side (C1S) media should not be auto-duplexed
•
As with any copier or printer, duplex performance, (coated or
uncoated), is not expected to match the performance for single-
sided copying. Paper jam rates may be higher than the rate you
will experience for the same throughput material in single-sided
mode.

SIQA- (Simple Image Quality Adjustment toolset)
1.
To achieve improved registration results with paper other
than centerline paper, Xerox recommends that you use the
Simplified Image Quality Adjustment (SIQA) tool to create
custom media profiles to a specific tray and paper type by
making the front to back registration better aligned.
2.
This additional registration tool allows service or users to
easily create profiles The tool can also make Density
adjustments inboard/outboard (SMILE Correction).
*Note: For more information regarding the SIQA tool, please contact
your local sales representative or reference the link below:
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.
•
Windows 8 Certified USB drives are not supported
Power On time
•
Power on time from cold-boot to the display of the main All services
screen may take three minutes. Users will notice an additional 5-8
sec delay when they first access a service. Subsequent entries into
that service (including after exiting power saver) will not incur any
additional delay. This is designed to improve the availability of the
first screen as the subsequent services are loaded when first
accessed.
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.
Apple AirPrint
•
If AirPrint is not enabled on this product, download the install
instructions and airPrintInstall.dlm from the support and driver page
for your product at xerox.com and follow the instructions. AirPrint-
enabled ConnectKey devices work with iPad (all models), iPhone
(3GS or later), and iPod touch (3rd generation or later), running the
latest version of iOS. For printing from a Mac, the device must be
running Mac OS X 10.7 or later to support AirPrint. The device
submitting the AirPrint job must be on the same subnet as the
printer. To allow devices to print from different subnets, configure
your network to pass multicast DNS traffic across subnets.
Network Connectivity Expectations
USB Wireless Network Adapter
•
Your Xerox Device can be equipped with an optional Xerox USB
802.11b/g/n (2.4GHz) Wireless Adapter to enable WiFi connectivity.
When utilizing this Xerox Device over WiFi, it is important to
understand the performance impacts that may result from WiFi
technology. Compared to a wired Ethernet connection, WiFi
performance varies significantly due to many factors that are specific
to wireless technology.
•
Some of these factors include: WiFi LAN Overhead, Proximity to
Access Point (AP) and Physical Obstacles (i.e. Signal Strength),
Network usage / AP Loading and Radio Frequency (RF)
interference.
