Non-St andard (Cust om ) Paper Sizes
For information on loading and programming non-standard paper sizes, refer to the
Operator’s
Manual
and
System Administration Guide
.
Drilled / Punc hed Papers
2, 3, and 4 hole drilled / punched papers can be run from any tray in DC5000AP. Papers with 3
holes, however, will require an extra step to run successfully due to interference between the center
hole and machine sensors. First, go to
NVM Read / Write
in the tools mode (refer to the
System
Administration Guide
Tools Mode Chapter) and enter chain link 700-545. Change the default setting
from “1000” (on) to “0” (off).
Please remember to reset the default value to “1000” when you are
finished running 3 hole drilled / punched papers.
Failure to do so may result in degraded image
quality, an increase in service calls, and damage to the machine.
Transparenc ies
Transparencies can be run from any tray. For more information on loading transparencies, refer to
the
Operator’s Manual
. Use only the recommended Xerox transparencies to ensure optimum image
quality and transmission efficiencies when projected. Overhead Projector (OHP) sizes are limited to
8.5”x11” in the US, and A4 in Europe. For best results use transparency 3R5765 (US/Canada) and
3R93179 (Europe).
To ensure consistent image quality and minimize streaking, only 500 transparencies should be run at
one time. If a larger run is required, it is recommended to break the job up into smaller ones and print
approximately 25-50 sheets of regular paper between sets to absorb any excess fuser oil.
Even though paper backed transparencies will run through the system, it is important to be aware
that productivity enhancements may be offset by image quality degradation. Even when run at the
slowest speed possible by selecting the 187-300 gsm for the weight, image quality on paper-backed
transparencies will likely be inferior to that which can be achieved by using the recommended
removable stripe transparencies and running them in the OHP mode.
Coat ed Papers
Coated papers have binders, adhesives, and pigments applied to their surfaces on one or both sides.
As compared to Xerox Digital Color Xpre 24 lb, coated papers will provide improved image
quality and gloss.
Coated papers are susceptible to humidity. Image mottle (light patches in solid area) or light images
overall will occur if paper is not kept packaged in environments with more than 40% humidity. To
avoid this, keep packages sealed and store unused paper in a resealable bag.
The surface of coated paper is susceptible to scratches and fingerprints. Handle all coated stocks
carefully and avoid excessive handling. Keep all work areas clean, as dust or dirt can scratch the
surface of coated papers.
