PRODUCT DIFFERENCES/USER CONSIDERATIONS
Because the xerographic process places toner images on the
photoreceptor belt, it is necessary for the printer to clean the system
completely when switching to different modes. This cleaning process
ensures that unprinted toner from one pitch mode is not deposited on
sheets running in the other mode. This cleaning process requires
approximately 25-30 seconds, during which time the system "dead
cycles" before printing again. During this time, areas of the printer
are running, but paper is not fed through the system.
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.
Therefore, it is recommended that you test applications that use
specialized papers to ensure that output is satisfactory.
Pay special attention to the following materials:
•
Die cut paper (paper with windows or areas cut out) must be
tested to ensure that the sheet registers properly with paper
sensors.
•
Multiple-thickness materials may cause stacking problems.
Such problems may be alleviated by using the Bin Limits
window or command to limit the number of sheets that can be
stacked in a bin.
•
For information on the Bin Limits window and command, refer
to the Xerox DocuPrint 180 LPS Operator Guide or the
DocuPrint 180 LPS PC User Interface Reference .

selection, storage, and handling of papers for your DocuPrint 180
LPS.
