  • Page 14: Recycled Papers

    Severe image quality problems are likely if non-recommended recycled papers are run. If you plan to use a recycled paper other than the Xerox brand, first try a small quantity to test its performance, then consult your local Xerox representative for agreement on its use.

Your Xerox Service Representative can also demonstrate cleaning procedures to minimize this condition. • Two-sided copying of coated papers is not recommended. Paper curl created when running side 1 can cause a high jam rate with side 2.

  • Page 20: Preprinted Papers

    Hints, Tips & Testing Results Xerox testing has shown the following: • Some inks from preprinted materials may cause deletions, offsetting or contamination. Select a surface-drying , laser- compatible ink designed for reproduction on color copier/ printers.

  • Page 21: Single-Step Transfer Paper

    4 Select Mirror Image setting from the Edit/Special Mode menu so that image will be right reading after transfer to fabric. 5 The Xerox materials can be run in Normal Paper Mode except when running very highly saturated images. Select Heavy Paper Mode in these cases.
  • Page 22 • To avoid problems (jams & poor image quality) caused by both dry and humid environments, store the Xerox material in its resealable bag with desiccant pack. Other brands should also be stored in resealed packages when not in use.

  • Page 28 This contamination may require more frequent cleaning of the rollers. Your Xerox representative can give you information on performing these cleaning procedures (order number 700P98965). To help reduce this contamination problem, and improve feeding reliability, mix one-sided copying jobs with two-sided copying jobs when possible.

  • Page 29: Color Inserts

    Color Inserts refers to merging color copies made on the 5790 with black and white documents being printed on a Xerox DocuTech Model 135 or a Xerox 5090 Duplicator. If you want to use 5790 color copies in another model Xerox copier/printer, inform your Xerox service representative and try a few copies to determine the results before running a job.
  • Page 30 • Transparencies and Duplex copies should not be used as inserts. CAUTION: Do not use 5790 color copies in the Xerox 5100 Copier/ printer/Duplicator. The copies are incompatible with the 5100 fuser. REGAL 5790 MATERIALS USAGE GUIDE...

  • Page 31: About Paper

    Therefore, you must rely on the paper supplier to deliver paper, or other material, that meets the specifications outlined in this guide and the Xerox 5790 Digital Color Copier/Printer Operator Manual. It is important that you understand the relationship between the properties of materials used in the copier/printer and reliable performance of the copier/printer.

  • Page 32: Paper Weight

    For example, 10 pt. = 0.010”, or 7 pt. = 0.007” thick paper. You cannot directly convert pt value to paper weight or stiffness. For most paper types, the maximum recommended paper weight of 163 gsm will be equivalent to 7 pt or 8 pt paper. REGAL 5790 MATERIALS USAGE GUIDE...

  • Page 35: Grade

    Paper with high brightness enhances the contrast between the paper and the image and enables faithful color reproduction. The Xerox Image Series LX 24 lb (8.5 x 11 inch = 3R3874 or 11 x 17 inch = 3R3877) paper has high brightness and provides excellent image quality.

  • Page 36: Moisture Content

    Moisture- proof ream wrappers are essential to maintaining the correct moisture level. Xerox papers have a polyethylene laminate ream wrapper that resists the migration of moisture into and out of the package.

  • Page 37: Curl

    Xerox papers are manufactured with built-in curl control and work well when loaded into the paper trays in the correct curl direction. Xerox papers are packaged with an arrow printed on one end of the ream wrapper. The arrow points to the wire side of the paper. The curl side of the paper, also known as the felt side, is the opposite side.

  • Page 39: Grain

    Because 11 x 17 inch paper must be fed short-edge first, purchase only grain-long lightweight papers, 16 lb (60 gsm). Heavy-weight 11 x 17 inch papers, 32 lb bond to 90 lb Index (120 to 163 gsm), should be purchased grain-short. REGAL 5790 MATERIALS USAGE GUIDE...

  • Page 40: Smoothness

    Xerographic papers are generally smoother than offset papers and most bond papers. The Xerox Image Series LX papers are smoother than the average xerographic papers. The Xerox Image Series LX 24 lb papers provide excellent image quality. REGAL 5790 MATERIALS USAGE GUIDE...

  • Page 41: Paper Storage

    Paper Storage REGAL 5790 MATERIALS USAGE GUIDE Paper is normally shipped in fiberboard cartons. The number of reams in a carton depends on the size of the paper. If a large quantity of paper has been ordered, the cartons are stacked on wooden pallets.

  • Page 42: Stacking

    Use the following guidelines for storing paper in non-air conditioned environments: • Minimum: 50° F (10° C) at 15% relative humidity • Maximum: 81° F (27.2° C) at 85% relative humidity. REGAL 5790 MATERIALS USAGE GUIDE...

  • Page 43: Conditioning Paper

    Paper Put paper in the same room as the copier/printer the night before it is used in the copier/printer. Transparencies Leave transparencies in the same room as the copier/printer for 24 hours before they are used in the copier/printer.
