Manual Duplex (2-Sided) Printing
The DocuColor 4 can ONLY perform manual two-sided printing (no automatic duplex capability
is provided) and with very limited usage. Manual Duplex printing can be accomplished
ONLY
IF
adhering to strict guidelines and recommendations.
Permanent damage and reduced life of
the printer components will result when operating outside of the guidelines and procedures for
duplex. These damages will not be covered under the Xerox Warranty terms.
Duplex performance is not expected to match the performance for single sided printing. Paper
jam rates will be higher than the rate you will experience for the same thruput material in single
sided mode. Extensive duplex operation may have a secondary effect on performance and
copy quality of single sided jobs.
Manual Duplex Recommended Guideline or Procedure
Comment
1
Paper Weight: 90-220 gsm.
2
Color Only: No duplex of pure black & white documents. Duplex should
be applied
ONLY for full color printing.
3
Max. Daily Print Volume: Daily Print volume for duplex should not
exceed 50-100 sheets (A4 / Letter) regardless of Long Edge Feed (LEF)
or Short Edge Feed (SEF).
50-100 sheets/day
max.
4
Image Area Coverage: Duplex area coverage should be less than
150% (total of all four colors: cyan, magenta, yellow, and black - no
more than 35% area coverage of any one dry ink color). Even low area
coverage could result in fuser offset using the Regular Duty Oil Roll.
If High Duty Oil Roll is applied, some partial area coverage of greater
than 150% may be possible.
Only low area
coverage images
should be duplex
printed.
5
If Fuser offsetting problems occur while running Manual Duplex, try the
HIGH DENSITY OIL ROLLER to improve the offsetting condition.
(note:
high density oil roller may cause oil streaks if daily print volume is less
than 500 prints per day. Refer to CRU table for part number of High
Density Oil Roll).
Fuser Offsetting may
occur (poor fusing
and re-fusing).
6
Paper Conditioning: We recommend leaving the prints of side-1 for as
long as possible before attempting to reload and print side-2.
7
Paper Handling Performance: Paper Jamming frequency may be
degraded to about 1/200-1/300 paper feeds for Manual Duplex.
Jams will increase
8
Feed Source: The Multi-sheet Inserter (MSI) should be the only feed
source used with Manual Duplex printing. Do not attempt manual
duplex printing from any other paper trays.
MSI ONLY
9
Inkjet Media: Do not attempt duplex with inkjet media.
Inserting Copies / Prints Into High Volume Copiers
•
Inserting (feeding) DocuColor 4 prints or copies into other Xerox copier/duplicator products
(5090/5390/ DocuTech 135 etc.) has not been tested.
•
We currently, do not recommend inserting prints or copies from the DocuColor 4 CP into
other Xerox or competitive copier/duplicator products.
