DocuColor 40 MATERIALS USAGE GUIDE
Hints, Tips & Testing Results
Xerox testing has shown the following:
•
When the recommended Xerox material is run as detailed
above, feeding performance will be good, but should not be
expected to equal 24 lb Image Series LX, and 90 g/m
performance.
•
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.
•
Toner saturation on electronic originals should be limited to a
total of 240% (60% for each Color). Higher toner saturations
can result in poorly fused prints and damage to the fuser.
•
A 50/50 blend of polyester/cotton provides better image
durability than shirts made of 100% cotton. Tight weave fabrics
(heavy T-shirts) provide better results than loose knit fabrics
(sweat shirts).
CAUTION: The following problems may occur when using transfer
papers that are not recommended:
•
The fuser roll may be damaged.
•
The image may offset to the fuser roll.
•
The paper may be too light weight and cause an unclearable
jam.
•
Multiple sheet feeding and frequent jams may occur.
When running non-Xerox transfer material, always pretest a small
amount of material to determine image quality and feeding
performance before purchasing a large quantity.
Remove sheets frequently from the output tray to prevent them from
sticking together.
In low humidity environments, it may be necessary to single sheet
feed, if multifeed jams occur.
