6. 1 Image Quality Overview 2 3 Figure 1: Image Quality Tab The Image Quality features, listed on the Image Quality tab (Figure 1), allow you to optimize the output copy quality. You begin your adjustment by indicating the type of original document you have. Then you change settings for specific image quality factors such as lightness and darkness, sharpness, or color. 4 Examples of the images printed with default settings are provided on the following pages.
Preset Color Balance The Preset Color Balance option automatically adjusts Image Quality settings to produce output with balanced image tones. Lighten/Darken The adjustment of lightness or darkness will sometimes improve the output quality. 2 Color Shift/Saturation This feature allows you to shift all of the copy colors toward the adjacent hue, as well as adjust the overall richness of color on the output copy.
Original Type 1 The Original Type feature (Figure 2) enables you to define the kind of original document you wish to copy. After you have, the copier/printer automatically makes fine adjustments to optimize the copy sharpness based on document type.
Photo & Text Photo & Text is the best document type selection for original documents that contain pictures and printed text (Figure 4), as you often see in magazines or professional journals. In the Photo & Text mode, the copier/printer scans the document and copies the text areas with the Text option and the photo areas with the Photo option. Output copies will be made using the best sharpness and density levels for pictures and charts combined with the best levels for text.
1 1 Touch the Original Type icon on the Image Quality tab to display the Original Type screen. 2 Touch the Photo & Text icon to display the Photo & Text detail screen, Figure 5. 3 Touch the selection in the Photo Type column which best describes the picture or photo in the original document: • 2 Figure 5: Original Type screen with default settings Halftone (default) Use this option for images that are created using a fine screen that varies the darkness and density of dots that make up the image.
Text Text is the best selection for text documents composed of fine line characters or other high contrast documents with bright, dense colors, as in Figure 6. Selecting this option suppresses background color. Examples of text documents include business documents that contain graphics; documents with color or black text; output from a pen plotter; and documents composed of fine, sharp lines, such as diagrams.
Photo 1 The Photo option is the best selection for photographs or lithographs. Examples include photographs or lithographs (Figure 8) that portray people, or paintings that contain a variety of pastel colors. The Photo option provides the most accurate color and density copy for continuous tone documents that contain a wide range of densities from very dark to very light images.
3 Touch the selection in the Photo Type column which best describes the original document: • Halftone Use this option for images created using a fine screen that varies the darkness and density of dots that make up the image. Examples of halftone images can be found in magazines and newspapers. 2 • Photograph Use this option when copying photographs or extremely fine halftones. • Xerographic Copy Use this option when using a Xerographic reproduction (copy) as the original document.
Graphics & Maps 1 Use the Graphics & Maps option to optimize the reproduction of detailed graphics, maps, or maplike originals. Examples include highly technical drawings, histograms, pie charts, or roadmaps (Figure 10). With this option, text on a light-colored background is enhanced more than if the Photo option or the Text option were used. Fine detail and light colors are copied very well in this mode.
Preset Color Balance The Preset Color Balance feature (Figure 12) automatically changes Image Quality settings to produce balanced image tones described below. The Preset Color Balance feature also lets you enable Background Suppression or Auto Suppression. Figure 12: Preset Color Balance feature 2 Normal The Normal option, illustrated in Figure 13, makes no changes to the image quality and produces copies with the same quality and density as those of the original.
Lively 1 The Lively option, illustrated in Figure 14, uses the highest color saturation to produce rich, vivid output colors. The option increases the Color Saturation to the most vivid setting and adjusts the Lighten/Darken setting one step lighter.
Bright The Bright option, illustrated in Figure 15, produces a sharp, clear image on the copy. The Bright option decreases the low density settings for Yellow, Magenta, Cyan, and Black. It increases the color saturation, adjusts the Lighten/ Darken setting two steps darker, and selects the highest Sharpness setting.
Warm 1 The Warm option, illustrated in Figure 16, produces a soft image on the copy by transforming low density colors into light and reddish colors. Use this setting to apply a light pink tone to skin colors and to give a soft tone to dark, warm colors. The Warm option decreases the Low and Medium density settings for Yellow and Cyan, and increases the Medium setting for Magenta.
Cool The Cool option, illustrated in Figure 17, produces a strong, clear blue tone on the copy. This setting can be used to make the blue color of water or the sky stronger, and to make dark, cold colors clearer. The Cool option decreases the Low, Medium, and High density settings for Yellow and Magenta, and increases the Low, Medium, and High setting for Cyan.
Background Suppression 1 Background Suppression is illustrated in Figure 18. Background suppression prevents undesired marks or images that are printed on the back of an original from appearing on the output copy. A newspaper is one example of this type of original. 2 The Background Suppression feature reduces the Medium density settings for Yellow, Magenta, Cyan, and Black. The High density level for Black is increased. This alters the appearance of the color on the copy.

9. 1 Paper 9 Overview 3 This chapter contains basic information about loading paper or transparencies and about using paper trays. It also includes some paper usage guidelines for the DocuColor 12. Good quality, 24 lb (90 gsm) bright, white paper with a smooth finish is the standard for color output, as it reduces show-through on 2-sided output and provides the best quality output. Good quality 20 lb (75 gsm) paper is the standard for black and white output.
Paper Trays 1, 2, 3, and 4 Paper Trays 1, 2, 3, and 4 hold the paper supply for the DocuColor 12 color copier/printer. Paper Tray 1, illustrated in Figure 1, can accommodate 8.5 x 11 inch, A4, B5, or A5 paper. Paper Trays 2, 3, and 4, illustrated in Figure 1, can accommodate an assortment of standard paper sizes, from 8 x 10 inch through 17 x 11 inch, and A3 through B5.
1 Paper Tray 5 Paper Tray 5 (sometimes called the Bypass Tray or the Multiple Sheet Inserter) is located on the left side of the copier/printer, as illustrated in Figure 2. Paper Tray 5 can accommodate transparencies and other specified paper stocks, and various paper sizes up to 12 x 18 inches or SRA3 (320 x 450 mm). 9 Refer to the Recommended Materials List and the Color Materials Usage Guide for more information about the materials you can use in Paper Tray 5.
Auto Tray Switching - Tools Mode Auto Tray Switching is enabled in the Tools mode only for Paper Trays 1, 2, 3 and 4. Tray 5 can not be enabled for Auto Tray Switching. The Auto Tray Switching feature enables the copier/printer to switch automatically to another tray when a tray runs out of paper. The trays must be loaded with the same size paper in the same orientation (long edge feed or short edge feed). Also, Auto Tray Switching must be enabled with the same paper type assigned to two or more trays.
Loading stock 1 Using paper The front and back surfaces of a piece of paper differ slightly. Therefore, one side is preferred as the side to image when copying to one side only, or the side to image first if copying to two sides. 9 Some ream wrappers mark this preferred printing side (also called the wire side) with an arrow. If the arrow is not present, turn the ream over so the seam is facing up. Load the paper into Paper Trays 1, 2, 3, and 4 with the preferred printing side down.
KEY POINT: • For the best results, use only the recommended paper sizes, paper weights, or paper types. If you do not use recommended papers, you may experience copy quality problems, paper jams, or possible component failures. Refer to the Recommended Materials List and the Color Materials Usage Guide for more information. 9 2 • If you are loading pre-drilled paper, load it into Paper Tray 5 with the undrilled long edge as the leading edge (holes to the left).
Using transparencies 1 Transparencies can be run ONLY from Tray 5. Transparencies with removable lead edge paper stripes are recommended. KEY POINT: Use only the transparencies recommended in the Recommended Materials List and the Color Materials Usage Guide. 9 Before you load transparencies, you must determine which side has the white stripe. Use a soft lead pencil to make a small mark on the stripe on each side of the transparency. The side with the darker mark is the stripe side.
Loading paper into trays 1, 2, 3, and 4 To load a paper tray, pull the tray out fully, as illustrated in Figure 5. 1 9 2 2 Select the appropriate paper to load. If you are not sure of the size to load, refer to the Paper Supply feature on the Basic Copying tab to check the size that was previously loaded in the paper tray. 3 3 4 Load the desired size paper into the tray, as illustrated in Figure 6.
4 In Paper Trays 2, 3, and 4, straighten the paper stack and adjust the paper guides until they lightly touch the paper. See Figures 7 and 8. 1 9 Figure 7: Adjusting the Rear Paper Guide 3 4 5 Close the paper tray slowly to avoid shifting the paper stack. This ensures that the paper is in the correct position when the paper tray is in the operating position.
Loading stock into Paper Tray 5 The number of sheets that can be loaded in Paper Tray 5 (sheet capacity) varies with the weight of the stock. For more information about paper weight and requirements, refer to the Recommended Materials List and the Color Materials Usage Guide. Do not load materials above the fill line located on the paper guide.
• • Follow these guidelines to prevent static build up when using transparencies: – Place no more than twenty-five 8.5 x 11inch or A4 transparencies in Paper Tray 5 at one time. – Place only one 11 x 17 or A3 transparency in Paper Tray 5 at a time. – Remove the transparencies from the Output or Offset Catch Tray before running additional sets. 1 9 Do not interleave transparencies with paper in Paper Tray 5.
1 Open Paper Tray 5 by grasping the cover Tray 5 at the top in the middle and gently pushing it away from the copier/printer and down, as illustrated in Figure 10. 9 2 Figure 10: Opening Paper Tray 5 3 For long paper, extend the tray by grasping the long plastic tab at the left edge (Figure 11) and pulling it to the left as far as possible, as illustrated in Figure 12. If you do not extend the tray fully, paper jams or copy misregistration may occur.
2 3 Place the stack of materials onto Paper Tray 5 between the edge guides, as illustrated in Figure 13. Slide the stack into the tray until it stops. 1 Edge guides Move the back edge guide until it lightly touches the side of the stack of materials. Readjust the left edge guide each time you load materials into Paper Tray 5. 9 Figure 13: Loading paper into Paper Tray 5 4 Select the appropriate size and type for the stock you have loaded.
Using 12 x 18 inch or SRA3 paper Use Paper Tray 5 for 12 x 18 inch (305 x 457 mm) or SRA3 (320 x 450 mm) paper. Refer to the Recommended Materials List and the Color Materials Usage Guide for more information about the paper you are loading. NOTE: 9 2 3 • Remove all stock from Paper Tray 5 after the job is complete. Dust and moisture can cause copy quality defects. • Do not add paper during a copying job. • To prevent damage, close Paper Tray 5 when you are not using it.
3 Load up to 100 sheets of 12 x 18 inch (305 x 457 mm) or SRA3 (320 x 457 mm) 20 lb. paper into Paper Tray 5. (Remember that images are copied onto the upper side of the paper.) 4 Adjust the back edge guide until it lightly touches the paper. 5 Select the appropriate size and type for the stock you have loaded. Refer to “Programming the Paper Supply for Tray 5” for more information. 6 1 9 When the job is complete, return the paper guides for Paper Tray 5 to their normal position.

10. Duplex Automatic Document Feeder 1 Overview 10 This chapter describes the Duplex Automatic Document Feeder (DADF), illustrated in Figure 1, for the DocuColor 12 copier/printer. The DADF automatically feeds up to 50 of the same size documents or mixed size documents, one at a time, onto the Document Glass, feeding the top sheet first.
KEY POINT: 2 10 3 • The copier/printer automatically copies black and white documents in the Black mode and documents with color in the Full Color mode when Auto Output Color is selected. • If the DADF belt is dirty and the original is a thin or transparent document, background may appear on the output. This may also occur when copies are made using the Document Glass. Place a white sheet of paper of the same size on top of the document being copied to eliminate background until the belt is cleaned.
If you use the DADF to input the original documents, the output will be delivered in one of the following ways, assuming a three-page job. • In a basic, single-copy job, output is delivered face down in 1, 2, 3 order. • In a multiple-copy job, output is delivered to the Output Tray face up with copies of the first page on the bottom and copies of the last page on top in 3/3/3, 2/2/2, 1/1/1 order.
Component names and functions The following items are the principal components of the Duplex Automatic Document Feeder, as illustrated in Figure 2: 1 Document Feed Lamp This lamp displays a green arrow when a document is inserted correctly into the feeder. This light can also indicate a document jam. 2 2 Document Feeder Output Tray Original Documents are delivered to this tray. 3 10 3 Duplex Automatic Document Feeder Tray Place documents here to start copying.
Document specifications 1 Always use the recommended types of input documents so that the Duplex Automatic Document Feeder operates within the design specifications. Document jams may occur if nonstandard documents are used, resulting in damaged documents. Standard DADF document specifications • Weight – The document weight should be from 16 lb to 32 lb (64 to 128 gsm). • Size – North and South America 3 10 8.5 x 5.5 inches, 8.5 x 11 inches, 8.5 x 14 inches, 11 x 17 inches, A4.
If the DADF senses non-standard size documents in the feeder, a message displays and the copier/ printer stops. Place such non-standard documents on the Document Glass, or enter the document size by using the Original Size feature in the Added Features tab. Refer to the section “Added Features” for more information. 2 If the input document is slightly smaller or larger than a standard size document, the Duplex Automatic Document Feeder may detect it as a standard size document.
Documents not recommended 1 The following document types cause document jams or malfunction of the copier/printer. Make copies of these documents by placing them directly onto the Document Glass. • Book, pamphlet, and booklet documents • Broken, creased, or paste-up documents • Documents with clips and staples • Transparent documents (the document size cannot be detected automatically or the DADF belt is copied) • Documents with black carbon • Documents smaller than A5 size (8.5 x 5.
Loading the documents You can load up to 50 documents from 16 lb. (64 gsm) to 32 lb. (128 gsm) into the DADF. 2 1 Remove any paper clips or staples from the documents. Align the documents. 2 Place the documents face up onto the DADF Tray, as illustrated in Figure 3. Slide the documents to the left until the green Document Feed Lamp lights. 10 3 Document Feed Lamp If the lamp does not light, readjust the alignment and/or the placement of the documents until the lamp lights.
4 5 Extend the DADF Output Tray to accommodate the size of the documents, as illustrated in Figure 5. 1 Press the Start button. The documents automatically feed one by one, onto the Document Glass. The feeding begins from the top of the stack of documents.
Clearing a document jam When a document jam occurs in the Duplex Automatic Document Feeder, the Document Feed Lamp (Figure 6) lights and instructions for clearing the jam appear on the screen display. Document Feed Lamp 2 Figure 6: Document Feed Lamp 10 3 1 Open the Left Cover by lifting it to the left and open the Document Chute, as illustrated in Figure 7.

Figure 8: Sliding the Document Guide 5 Raise the DADF and remove any documents from the Document Glass, as illustrated in Figure 9. 6 Remove any paper that is jammed in the DADF belt, as illustrated in Figure 10. 7 Close the DADF.
8 Check the documents for damage, creases, and/ or folds before reloading them into the Document Feeder Tray. A torn, creased, or folded document can cause a document jam. KEY POINT: If a document is damaged, you may have to use Interrupt mode to make a copy from the Document Glass. You can then return to the original job and use the copy instead of the damaged document in the stack of documents you are copying. 2 10 3 9 Check the message on the screen to ensure that all jams have been cleared.
1 11. Sorter/Mailbox Overview The DocuColor 12 copier/printer may be equipped with an optional Sorter/Mailbox, as illustrated in Figure 1. The Sorter/Mailbox contains the following components: 1 1 Sorter/Mailbox Release Lever 2 Sorter/Mailbox Bins: Copies are delivered here in the Sort or Stack Mode. 3 Offset Catch Tray (OCT): Output is delivered here when you select the Offset Catch Tray.
WARNING: Do not place your fingers between the Bins while the Sorter/Mailbox is in operation. WARNING: Never cheat the safety interlock switch. Injury or a document jam may occur. This switch shuts off the Sorter/Mailbox power when you open the front doors or when you move the Sorter/Mailbox to the right to clear a paper jam.
Using the Sorter/Mailbox 1 The optional Sorter/Mailbox performs like a sorter for the DocuColor 12 standalone copier configuration. It performs like a sorter or mailbox for the DocuColor 12 copier/printer configuration. Contact your Xerox representative to change functionality.
• Uncollated Copies are stacked sequentially in the Sorter/ Mailbox Bins by page numbers of the documents. For example, in a three-page job where 3 sets are requested, one set of output is delivered, face up, in 1/1/1, 2/2/2, 3/3/3 order. This results in all copies of the first page being at the bottom of the set and all copies of the last page being on the top of the set. 2 Each Sorter/Mailbox bin can hold up to 100 copies of 20 lb (75 gsm) paper. The Sorter/Mailbox can accept paper sizes from 8.
Clearing a paper jam 1 When a paper jam occurs, a paper jam message and instructions for clearing the paper jam display on the screen. KEY POINT: Remove the jammed paper carefully and gradually so you do not tear it. If the jammed paper tears, be sure to remove all the torn pieces. 1 Push the Sorter/Mailbox release lever toward the Sorter/Mailbox and pull the unit to the right, away from the copier/printer, as illustrated in Figure 2.

Using the stapler 1 1 Ensure that you have no more than 50 sheets of 24 lb. paper. Align all sheets to the edge you want to staple. 2 Slide the set under the staple head using the diagonal or straight marks on the stapler base as a guide. These diagonal or straight marks are the paper guides, Figure 9. • When the set is inserted into the stapler, a switch activates the stapling action automatically. • Remove and reinsert the set if another staple is required.
Adding staples 1 Open the stapler by grasping the cover at the two indentations on the upper right and left side and pulling it straight up and back (Figure 10). 2 Figure 10: Opening the stapler 3 2 Pull the empty cartridge out by holding the gold handle at the top tabs and pulling the cartridge straight out (Figure 11). Dispose of the cartridge according to local regulations.
Clearing a stapler jam 1 1 For a simple jam, remove the set with the jammed staples from the stapler. Insert a sheet under the staple head to cause the stapler to eject the jammed staple. 2 If the set itself is jammed, remove the staple cartridge, as described in “Adding Staples,” then pull out the jammed set. Clear the jammed staple and reinsert the cartridge or insert a new cartridge.
Troubleshooting If you suspect a problem with the Convenience Stapler, perform the following steps in the order listed. 2 1 Ensure that the stapler cover is completely closed. 2 Check the power cord and power switch on the printer/copier to ensure that it is plugged in and powered on. 3 Check the power cord for the stapler to ensure that it is plugged in (Figure 12). 4 Perform the procedure for “Clearing a stapler jam.” 5 If the stapler is still not operating correctly, call for assistance.
1 13. Problem Solving Overview The DocuColor 12 Copier/Printer is designed to help you find and solve problems as they happen. The copier/printer can detect problems and display the corrective action on the screen, as illustrated in Figure 1. If the instructions for solving a particular problem are not displayed on the screen, refer to the tables on the following pages to help you resolve the problem.
2 1 With the power on and the copier/printer in a fault condition, press the Stop button on the Control Panel. 2 Record the following information so that you can provide it to the Xerox representative at the support center: • With the Stop button depressed, record the displayed Fault Codes. • Record the Machine Serial Number from the label on the inside lower left cover of the copier/printer (Figure 2). The number may also have been recorded on the inside front cover of this manual.
Paper Jam Clearance 1 Paper may jam in several areas inside the copier/ printer: • Behind the Left Door • Behind the Right Door • Behind the Front Door • In the Duplex Path • In the output area, that is, near the Output Tray (or the Sorter/Mailbox) • Near the paper exit for Paper Tray 5 3 When a paper jam occurs, a message displays in the message area of the Touch Screen with the corrective actions to take, as illustrated in Figure 3.
KEY POINT: Gradually remove the jammed paper so you do not rip it. If the jammed paper rips, be sure to remove all of the pieces. The action required to clear a paper jam varies with the location of the jam. Clearance procedures for each of these areas are provided in the sections that follow. 2 Occasionally, you may have to follow more than one clearance procedure to clear the paper path completely. If so, begin at the sides of the copier/ printer and then clear the jam from the front.
Paper jam behind the Left Door 1 NOTE: Paper that is partially out of the copier/ printer may become more severely jammed if it is not removed before you open the Paper Path Module. Ensure that all paper is cleared from this area, especially paper that is positioned between the paper trays and the Paper Path Module Registration area. 1 Note the area of the jam behind the Left Door displayed on the Touch Screen.
Paper jam behind the Right Door 2 1 Note the area of the jam behind the Right Door displayed on the Touch Screen. 2 If there is a Sorter/Mailbox, push down on the release lever, as illustrated in Figure 6, and push the Sorter/Mailbox away from the copier/printer. 3 Figure 6: The Sorter/Mailbox release lever 3 Open the Right Door, as illustrated in Figure 7. 4 5 Figure 7: Opening the Right Door 13 6 4 Remove all paper that is visible in the area. 5 Close the Right Door.
Paper jam behind the Front Door 1 1 When the Touch Screen displays a message indicating a jam behind the Front Door, open the Front Door, as illustrated in Figure 8. Figure 8: Opening the Front Door 2 Rotate the green handle clockwise, as illustrated in Figure 9, and pull out the Paper Path Module until it is fully open. 3 Check the Touch Screen for a new message indicating the area of the jam. 3 4 KEY POINT: Check and clear all jams in the Paper Path Module before closing the module.
4 In Registration area, lift the baffle marked 1 and carefully remove the jammed paper, as illustrated in Figure 10. Press the baffle gently back into place. NOTE: If transparency jams occur in this area, check Paper Tray 5 to ensure that the transparencies are loaded with the white stripe down. 2 Figure 10: Area 1 in the Registration area 3 WARNING: The fuser area is very hot. Be careful when clearing a jam in this area. WARNING: Fuser oil can irritate your eyes.
If the paper jam is in the Fuser Exit area, locate the Fuser Exit Area handle at the right of the Paper Path Module, as illustrated in Figure 12. Move the handle to the right and carefully remove the jammed paper. Gently secure the handle back into place. 1 Figure 12: Fuser Exit area 6 In the Duplex Path, areas 3 and 4, press the handles down gently to release the Aligner Baffle (left handle) and Duplex In baffle (right handle), as illustrated in Figure 13.
Paper jam inside a paper tray Paper that is partially out of the paper tray when the paper tray is opened can cause more complex jams by tearing. The torn pieces may become jammed in areas that you cannot reach. 2 3 1 Use the message that displays on the Touch Screen to locate the paper jam. 2 Use the previous procedures to clear any paper that is behind the Left or Right Door of the copier/ printer. 3 Slowly open the appropriate paper tray.
Paper jam inside Paper Tray 5 1 1 Use the message that displays on the Touch Screen to locate the paper jam. 2 If necessary, grasp the center top handle and raise the top of Paper Tray 5 toward the copier/ printer to access the jam, as illustrated in Figure 16 and Figure 17. 3 Remove all of the visible jammed paper, including any partially fed sheets.
Resolving hardware problems WARNING: When clearing the paper path in the Fuser area (located in the Paper Path Module), remember that the surfaces are hot. To avoid injury, proceed with caution when clearing the path. 2 Problem Suggested Solution Dry Ink Cartridge: Reinstall the dry ink cartridge using the following procedure: • Operator cannot reinsert a partially full dry ink cartridge after it has been removed. • Operator mistakenly removed the wrong dry ink cartridge and wishes to reinsert it.
Resolving programming problems 1 Problem Suggested Solution The Control Panel Touch Screen does not respond to a touch command. Press Clear All on the Control panel. Touch a selectable button on the Touch Screen with one finger. A slight pressure is required to cause the copier/printer to react. If the problem persists, open the Front Door of the copier/printer. Close the Front Door and make a selection on the Touch Screen. If the Touch Screen does not respond to any touch commands, switch off the power.
Resolving Processor problems Problem Transparencies 2 Suggested Solution Use transparencies with a painted or removable white stripe. Load them with stripe down, as the lead edge of the sheet in Paper Tray 5. Load the transparencies by following the instructions in the section, “Paper and Paper Trays.” Transparencies are too oily • Make 5 blank sheet copies with the Full Color option on paper stock to purge excess oil from system. Reload the transparencies in Paper Tray 5 and continue the copying job.
1 Problem Paper jams when exiting the Paper Trays Suggested Solution Ensure that the edge guides of the paper tray fit snugly against the paper stack. Do not fill the paper trays above the MAX fill line indicator. Tray 1 holds approximately 500 sheets of 20 lb. (75 gsm) paper. Trays 2, 3, and 4 hold approximately 550 sheets of 20 lb. (75 gsm) paper. Close the tray slowly to avoid shifting the paper stack.
Problem Suggested Solution Fresh copies used as original documents cause jams in the Duplex Automatic Document Feeder. This problem is caused by the oil used in the fusing process. The problem can be reduced or eliminated by allowing output to sit for awhile so oil can evaporate before using them as original documents.
Problem Excessive paper curl Suggested Solution 1 Paper curl may be a result of: • The mass of dry ink (toner) coverage on the copy - the greater the toner mass, the greater the paper curl. • The paper weight. • The humidity conditions at the copier/printer. You can sometimes minimize curl problems by flipping the paper over in the tray and making the copies again. If excessive curl is still present, use a heavier paper. Ensure the paper matches the type defined for the Paper Tray.
Problem Suggested Solution Fresh copies used as original documents cause jams in the Duplex Automatic Document Feeder This problem is caused by the oil used in the fusing process. The problem can be reduced or eliminated by allowing output to sit for a while so oil can evaporate before using them as original documents. Load Paper in Tray 6 message is displayed. Check that paper is loaded correctly and the paper size guide is properly set. Ensure that paper is not loaded over the maximum fill line.
Resolving output quality problems using the Basic Copying, Added Features, or Image Quality Tabs Problem 1 Suggested Solution Moiré patterns on the copies This problem sometimes occurs when original documents have halftone images. Perform the following suggested solutions in the following order: • Select Halftone as the Original Type. • Rotate the original on the Document Glass by 180 degrees. 3 • Reduce or enlarge the output by 5%.
Problem Suggested Solution Scattered, very light show-through images occur when copying a document that is on thin paper. Select the Background Suppression option in the Preset Color Balance feature in the Image Quality tab. To eliminate the unwanted show-through images, place the thin (translucent) document on the Document Glass. Cover the document with a black (or very dark) sheet of paper that is the same size as the document you are copying.
Problem Suggested Solution Deletions on the copy edges. Edge deletion on all sides of the copy is normal, and is greatest on the lead edge of the copy. Set the Edge Erase feature, Variable Erase option, to 4 mm to minimize the deletion. Select the size for the original document in the Added Features tab and an appropriate setting from the Reduce/Enlarge option from the Basic Copying tab. Refer to the section, “Added Features,” for edge erase specifications. 1 Moisture may be present in the paper.
Problem Suggested Solution Background on the copies. Examine the input document for the source of the problem. Ensure that the document is held flat on the Document Glass and that the document cover is closed. 2 From the Image Quality tab, adjust the Lighten/Darken control to Lighten. When making Black copies, select Black as the Output Color. Reduce the Color Balance - Low Density values so the background does not appear on the copies.
Problem Suggested Solution The image quality gradually degrades on successive copies, or copies made with settings used previously are significantly worse than copies you are making now. The internal process control function of the copier/printer has degraded. Place a white sheet of paper on the Document Glass and run 35 blank copies using Full Color in the Output Color feature. Make a copy of the document again. The copy quality output should be improved.
Problem Suggested Solution Corner Shift appears in the wrong area on the copy. 2 If the document is positioned on the Document Glass in the short edge feed direction, and the paper used for copying is in the long edge feed direction, the copy will appear to be positioning the Corner Shift selection in the wrong corner. Corner shift selections are referenced from the Document Glass location. Refer to the section, “Added Features,” Margin Shift feature, for illustrated examples.
Original Type selection and output 1 When you use the Original Type options of Photo & Text or Text, the copier/printer attempts to discriminate between text and photo or picture areas within the original. It then applies the appropriate image processing to each area. Text is reproduced at 600 lines per inch while photos are reproduced at 200 lines or dots per inch. Occasionally, a defect may occur where an area is classified incorrectly and text is treated as photo or vice versa.
