2. Paper and paper trays
Stored paper: • On a flat surface. Do not store paper directly on the floor, since
Many factors affect the performance of paper, including room
temperature, humidity, paper quality, dust, and the size of the
image area. If jams or paper curl problems occur, remove the
paper from the paper tray, turn it over, place it back in the paper
tray, and resume printing. If the problem is rectified, continue to
load your paper in the same manner.
If the problem is not rectified, load a new ream of paper and try the
process again. If the problem persists, your System Administrator
may go into the Tools Mode and try the different decurler
settings. If, after trying all the previous suggestions, the problem
still persists, call your Xerox representative.
For reliable digital press operation and good print quality, Xerox
recommends the following:
this increases the possibility of moisture absorption. Paper
should be stored on pallets, shelves, or in cabinets in an area
protected from extremes of temperature and humidity.
• In a low dust area.
• In a low humidity area. Humidity is one of the most important
steps to promote proper paper characteristics. Optimum paper
storage conditions include a relative humidity of 35-55%. An
increase in humidity may cause paper to develop wavy edges.
This occurs because the edges absorb moisture while the rest
of the ream remains unaffected. Wavy edges causes jams and
misfeeds.
• In an air-tight, moisture-proof container.
2-2
DocuColor 8000/7000 Operator Manual
2. Paper and paper trays
• In a controlled temperature. The temperature in the room
where paper is stored has a significant effect on how that
paper performs in the machine. Optimum paper storage
temperature is 68-76
° F (20-24.4° C).
For additional paper handling information, refer to the Color
Materials Usage Guide.
Cutting and trimming paper Proper cutting of the paper is important. Mills that offer paper in
“cut sizes” crop their papers using state-of-the-art rotary slitters on
high performance systems. Slitting and edge trimming by circular
knives with dust removal at every cutting point prevents
contamination of the paper.
Trimming papers from parent sheets to get the desired output size
may generate dust if dull knives are used. The recommendation is
to delay trimming until printing has been finalized to prevent paper
dust generation and contamination.
If pre-printing is imperative, an in-house maintenance program,
including knife sharpness maintenance and dust removal with a
vacuum or air system, are key to achieving good results.

2. Paper and paper trays
For the best results, remember the following:
• Do not load paper or other materials above the MAX line on
the rear paper guide.
• Do not store extra reams of paper in the paper trays.
• Do not use wrinkled, torn, curled, or folded paper.
• Use the paper sizes and weights shown in the Recommended
Materials List.
• Follow the suggestions in the Specialty Media Guide: Hints
and Tips.
• Do not mix sizes or weights of paper in a paper tray.
• Ensure that the tray indicator LEDs are set for the correct
paper size, weight range, and paper type.
Copy paper is fed into the digital press in one of two positions:
long edge feed (LEF) or short edge feed (SEF). Long edge refers
to the long edge of the paper. When you see LEF, position the
paper so the long edge is fed first. Short edge refers to the short
edge of the paper. When you see SEF, position the paper so the
short edge is fed first.
NOTE: It is imperative that you load paper with the paper guides
adjusted properly. If the paper is NOT loaded properly, it skews
and jams occur.
DocuColor 8000/7000 Operator Manual

2. Paper and paper trays
Curl
When paper is exposed to heat, the paper loses moisture and
curls toward the heat source. High coverage jobs tend to curl more
due to the toner plastification effect on the paper surface. The
system tries to reduce this by using mechanical devices within the
paper path called decurlers.
Your system has been designed with an automatic curl control
system that uses information such as: the amount of coverage on
the page, paper weight, whether the paper is coated or uncoated,
and the current humidity and temperature to determine the
amount of pressure needed at the different decurlers to reduce
output curl.
If you are experiencing excessive curl, remove the paper from the
tray, turn it over and replace it in the tray. If the curl is still
excessive, refer to the System Administration Guide, Tools Mode
chapter, to change the decurler settings to accommodate the
environmental and pape r conditions.

High Capacity Stacker 80
3. Accessories
The High Capacity Stacker 80 (HCS80) is an optional finishing
device that provides stacking and offsetting capabilities for output
to a Stacker Tray. The HCS80 connects to the right side of the
digital press and replaces the Offset Catch Tray.
The Stacker Tray has a capacity of 3500 sheets of 24 lb (90 g/m
2
centerline paper (or 370 mm high). The Top Tray has a capacity of
250 sheets of 24 lb 90 gm
2
centerline paper. The HCS80 is
supplied with two Stacker Carts. If needed, you can purchase an
additional Stacker Cart. Contact your Xerox representative for
further details.
NOTE: The Stack Tray cannot support more than 99 lb. (45 kg) of
printed material and therefore, cannot hold 3500 sheets of coated
paper (for example SRA3).

• Send documents to the top tray.
• Send sets of different sizes to either the Stacker Tray or the
top tray.
NOTE: Do not stack larger sets on top of smaller sets. Jams
could result.
• Send a sample set to the top tray.
• Chain two stackers to the digital press and send collated sets
to Stacker 1, Stacker 2 or Both Stackers.
