Preserving your color output

Color output, like black and white output, should be handled and stored carefully to preserve its appearance and usability. Y our color output, which is made from color dry inks (toners), requires some attention. To help maintain high quality col or output, Xerox recommends that you consider the following:

Adhesive tapes and adhesi ves

Some adhesive tapes and adhesives (glues) contain solvents that may soften or dissolve the color dry inks. Adhesive tapes and adhesives should be tested on sample output before being

applied to your valuable c opies or print s. Adhes ive tape may also pull of f the dry inks when t he tape is removed.

PVC and color output

If your output comes in contact with PVC and PVC-type (vinyl) pl astics, the dry inks may soften

and transfer to the plastic. Use polypropylene and polyethylene plastics for any covers or binders that come in contact with the color output.

, select the Full Color option.

With the Auto Color option, some very dark colors

may be sensed as black and therefore copied as black. In these cases, select the Full Color option.

BASIC COPY ING 4–4 DOCUMENT CENTRE CS 50 USER GUIDE

Full Color

The Full Color option combines all four dry ink colors (black, cyan, mag enta, and yellow). You should select the Full Color option when the document contains c olor and blac k, as in Figure 4.

In Full Color mode, output is produced at approximately 12 copies/pr ints per minute.

3 Pass Color

The 3 Pass Color option combines the three colors of dry inks (cyan, magent a, and yellow), as illustrated in Figure 5. You should select the 3 Pass Color option when the document contains very little black, or when Process Black is acceptable over a tr ue reproduction black, such as is used with photographs.

Figure 4: Example of Full Color

NOTE: Process Black is a combination of Cyan, Magenta and Yellow. For example, in Figure 5, the three dry inks are combined toget her in equal amounts to produce black. No Black ink is used.

Figure 5: Example of 3 Pass Color

DOCUMENT CENTRE CS 50 USER GUIDE 4–5 BASIC COPYING

Black

The Black option should be selected when the desired output is a black and white copy. Black and white copies can be made from any document. When you select Black, the copier/ printer will use black dry ink (toner) only, as in Figure 6.

With the Black option, the copier /printer produces

50 copies per minute when it uses 8.5 x 11 inch (A4) paper that is fed long edge first.

Figure 6: Example of Black

Single Color

The Single Color option, accessed through the More... button, changes the image and/or text on a document to one color other than black (Fi gure
