The quality of image laid down by the printer may not be as good as typically seen with plain paper
sheets designed for color xerography, and areas of halftone / solid coverage may degrade more
quickly. Please ensure that print quality meets your requirements before committing to extended
usage.
Lastly, Xerox Premium Digital Carbonless paper may react with the residual debris left behind by
non-Xerox branded carbonless materials resulting in significant and immediate contamination of
machine components. If a non-Xerox branded material has been run prior to running Xerox Premium
Digital Carbonless it is suggested that all components, in direct contact with the paper, be replaced to
ensure trouble free operation.

It is possible to automatically print two-sided documents on Xerox Heavyweight papers with
DocuColor 5000AP systems by setting the machine to the 187-300 gsm weight setting. There are,
however, some adjustments that may be required.
nd
Custom Paper Profiles (2
BTB) will allow you to adjust machine parameters to achieve optimum
Image Quality, and color rendition. This adjustment should be performed at regular intervals, and
more frequently for heavier weight papers, to maintain consistent output. Refer to the DocuColor
5000APII Sytem Administration Guide for instructions on programming these settings. Environmental
factors and job parameters may require additional adjustment.
Note: Xerox Digital Color Supreme Gloss 12pt. must be loaded in the tray such that the uncoated
side is imaged first (up) to avoid scratching the soft coating material.

DISCLAIMER: The information in this section is intended only for those who have a specific
request to use a special material or application in the DocuColor 5000AP that is not on the
Recommended Materials List. It must be understood that running these types of jobs may
result in degraded image quality, an increase in jams, an increase in service calls, or, in the
most severe case, damage to the machine. In addition, Xerox cannot provide support for these
materials.

A few applications require solutions in which paper needs to be run in a color system with a second
printing pass through a black and white printer. Our experience with the Xerox DocuTech line of
products has not been positive. Serious contamination issues have been verified when running
DocuColor 5000AP output on a Docutech 135 system due to toner composition differences and the
difference in fusing temperatures.
If done in the opposite direction (ie. Black and white pass first followed by a DocuColor 5000AP pass)
smeared images will occur since the fuser oils used are different in these two systems.
Some systems will have an interposer or inserter drawer where cover or insert materials can be
loaded. DocuColor 5000AP output can be fed and inserted within a job using DocuTech systems
