Iq 46 Black Bead Carryout Rap - Xerox DocuColor 12/DCCS50 Service Manual

IQ 46 Black Bead Carryout RAP

This RAP is used when the copy is experiencing bead carryout (BCO) for the color black. This
defect looks like mottle and is most noticeable in the high density areas. BCO is caused by low
toner concentration.
NOTE: Only the effect the carrier beads have on the image of the output copy/print are visible.
The beads are physically trapped by the fuser web and therefore will not be observed on the
copy/print.
Initial Actions
This RAP assumes IOT s/w version 6.00.2 or higher is installed. If not, go to
out RAP to begin troubleshooting.
Ensure that the paper presently being used is fresh 24 lb. Xerox COLOR Xpressions (NASG),
or 90 GSM Colortech + (ESG) paper or paper which is included in the customer's Materials
Usage Guide and Recommended Paper List. Run test copies. If the copies reproduced still
have Bead Carryout, continue with this RAP.
Procedure
NOTE: Ensure that 8 1/2 X 11" LEF paper is installed in Tray 2 before continuing.
Enter the diagnostic mode from the UI and select MAX Setup. Select TRC Set UP/Toner Con-
centration Adjustment. Select TRC Control (dC922). Make a ProCon test pattern by pressing
the Start button. Examine the copy for mottle-like or non-uniform (spotty) density in the high-
density patches. One of these defects is present in the 100% patch (top row) in black.
