product,  static  may  limit  it’s  ability  to  stack  neatly  in  the  OCT  (offset  catch  tray)  or  other  output 

devices. Also, this material retains a great deal of heat. Use caution when removing printed stacks 

and empty stacking devices every 25 – 50 sheets to avoid blocking. 

Cut  Qualit y &  Paper Trim m ing Rec om m endat ions 

Proper cutting of the paper to be used is critical. Mills offering paper in cut sizes will convert papers 

using state of the art rotary slitters on high performance systems. Slitting and edge trimming by 

circular knives with dust removal at every cutting point prevents contamination issues.  
Trimming papers from parent sheets to get the desired output size may generate dust if dull knifes 

are used. The recommendation is to delay trimming until printing has been finalized to prevent paper 

dust generation and contamination issues. 
If pre-print trimming is imperative, special care must be taken to ensure that any loose fibers are 

removed before the paper is loaded into the machine trays. By thoroughly fanning the sheets and 

wiping down the edges with a cloth, most of these contaminants can be removed; however, an in-

house maintenance program, including blade maintenance and dust removal with a vacuum or air 

system, will be key in achieving good results. 
 

Carbonless Papers 

Carbonless papers are pressure sensitive papers that are coated with several functional coatings. 

These coatings promote image transfer through the form set and enable the form sets to separate 

appropriately after padding with a special adhesive. Xerox has enabled this application on DocuColor 

5000AP by combining a unique paper coating chemistry (Xerox Premium Digital Carbonless), with a 

software “switch” designed to disable key machine components reducing the frequency of service 

calls. Since each supplier of xerographic carbonless papers has developed their own chemistry, the 

following procedure does not enable any other carbonless product.  

  Enter machine “tools” mode (Refer to 

System Administration Guide

 for more information) 

  Touch “Machine Defaults 3” tab on the machine User Interface (UI) 

  Enter Chain Link 700-920 on the UI key pad (hyphen will be added automatically) 

  Press “Start” to display “Current Value”. “0” (on) will be displayed. 

  Touch “1” on the UI key pad. “1” (off) appears in “New Value” box. 

  Touch “Close” and then “Exit Tools” on the UI touch screen 

 

Note: This procedure must be performed at the start and end of each Xerox Premium Digital 

Carbonless Paper run. Failure to do so will lead to premature component failure. 

As this machine is equipped with a friction feed device, the sheet sustains a small scuff mark visible 

on the CF and CFB sheets as it is fed from the trays.
