13.3 Paper, Toner, and Waste Toner Replacement
The imagePRESS operator can maintain productivity by removing, replacing,
and refilling the paper, toner, and waste toner while the press is running.
The paper trays can also be opened and refilled during operation. The tray
that is being utilized by the press during production, however, will be locked.
Once the job completes, or the machine switches to another tray, the empty
tray unlocks, allowing the operator to prepare for the next job, and add more
paper. No productivity is affected and jobs finish quicker.
Similar to the paper, the toner bottle may be removed and replaced while a
job is printing. The imagePRESS C7000VP has a large toner hopper, making
it possible for the press to run much longer with no bottle. The operator is not
required to replace the bottle immediately after removing the old bottle.
Therefore, productivity and image quality are not affected, and jobs finish in
the same amount of time.
Finally, the waste toner bottle is required to be replaced when filled. However,
this bottle may be removed while the press is running. Therefore, the operator
will remain productive, and not notice any changes in speed or quality.
14. Copies between Calls
imagePRESS C7000VP performance depends on certain variables, such as the
type of media and paper used, the amount of toner and image coverage,
environmental conditions, average monthly volume, and how well the
imagePRESS C7000VP has been serviced and maintained. While it is difficult to
forecast performance targets under all conditions, it is possible to establish a
performance target for an imagePRESS C7000VP used within the mid-range of its
performance capabilities. For example, an imagePRESS C7000VP used within the
optimum monthly print/copy volume, and used with media and image coverage
ratios at the high end of their ranges.
The actual number of prints/copies between calls will vary, depending on usage
and conditions, examples of which are provided above, as well as customer
knowledge. Using paper larger than LTR will have an impact on the prints/copies
between calls that can be expected.
15. Optimum Monthly Print/Copy Volume
The optimum monthly print/copy volume is 50,000 – 300,000 impressions per
month. This is the range of print/copy volume that the equipment was intended to
run on a regular basis to maintain a high level of performance and print/copy
quality. Running the equipment within this range ensures that no undue stress is
placed on components, and it allows time for the proper servicing and maintenance
of the equipment.
