    This section describes Xerox DocuPrint 180 LPS user considerations. To ensure consistency across all Xerox LPS printers, the coordinate system used by all printers is identical. However, the area upon which an actual image may appear is limited. Because of this, data which starts near the edge of or off of the physical page may be lost.

  • Page 75: Registration Shift And Skew

    The registration of a printed image can appear shifted or skewed on a page if the sheet of paper is misaligned as it enters the printer. Because of the design of the DocuPrint 180 LPS feeder, the image registration on each page can vary slightly both horizontally and vertically by up to 0.65 mm.

The default virtual page size is identical to the physical page size. If a virtual page size is user-defined, the virtual page is centered relative to the physical page.
  • Page 78 A consideration resulting from the very solid black characters that the DocuPrint 180 LPS can print is that toner on the lead edge of the paper may cause the sheet to stick to the fuser, due to the consistency and solidness of the toner.
  • Page 79: Print Darkness

    DocuPrint 180 LPS Operator Guide or the Xerox DocuPrint 180 LPS Operations Reference . The Xerox DocuPrint 180 LPS accepts 300 spi data and prints it using a 600 spi dual beam raster output scanner (ROS). To convert 300 spi input data to 600 spi print output, the system uses an interpolation algorithm to smooth lines and improve the quality of 300 spi fonts and line art.
  • Page 80: Switching Paper Size And Feed Modes

    *8 pitch is enabled only with the optional Paper Feeding Enhancement Kit installed. For papers whose widths range from 8.66 to 9 inches, the Xerox DocuPrint 180 prints with slightly reduced productivity at 180 pages per minute, with seven-page images per photoreceptor revolution.
  • Page 81: Cleaning Time Between Pitch Mode Changes

    The Xerox DocuPrint 180 printer handles paper differently from the 9790 and other Xerox LPS. Paper sensors and the paper path are not the same from one printing product to another. An application running special papers on a 9790, for example, may yield slightly different results when printed on the Xerox DocuPrint 180 LPS.
