Job Printing Hints; Skipped Pitches - Xerox DocuPrint 115 System Manual

Hints and Tips
10-6
The DC 2045/2060/6060 print engine will also perform IQ
adjustments if a difficult job is being processed and RIP falls
behind the print output. If this occurs, the print engine will cycle
down for a few seconds while the RIP catches up and then it will
perform an IQ adjustment which will take anywhere from 5-95
seconds. During the IQ adjustment, the printer will not print
anything. However, the RIP will continue and be slightly ahead.
As soon as the printer finishes the IQ adjustment it will print all of
the RIPped pages and catch up with the printer.

Job Printing Hints

The DC 6060 print engine cycles down on certain operations
such as on tray/bank switches or between jobs. Each cycle may
take 10-40 seconds to complete before the print engine is ready
to print again. To avoid unnecessary print engine cycling, you
can perform the following:
• Disable finishing, slip-sheets and offset stacking.
• Disable banner sheets when making multiple copies of a job.
• Avoid media tray switches by constructing the job to use only
a single size, color, weight paper and by ensuring before
running a job that the currently active tray has enough media
loaded to print the entire job.

Skipped Pitches

To stop the cycle of skipped pitches and cycle the print engine
down, perform one of the following to improve the overall job
performance:
1. Process the job in N-1 order rather than 1-N order. This will
force the job to be completely ripped before the print engine
is started up. When the print engine starts it will consume
pages at 60 ppm until all pages are printed.
