Technical Key Operator (TKO)

The Technical Key Operator (TKO) is a person who is certified by Xerox to carry out and perform certain maintenance activities that are normally performed by a customer service engineer (CSE). In order to become a TKO for your machine, you must complete the mandatory Xerox Productivity Plus (XPP) program.

As stated previously, Xerox Productivity Plus (XPP) is a mandatory, customer self-maintenance program that is available with your machine. Through the XPP program, Xerox provides qualified customers with the supplies, documentation, support, and the Technical Key Operator (TKO) training required to perform simple diagnostics, routine maintenance tasks, and some repairs which formerly were completed by a Xerox customer service person.

Upon successful completion of the XPP training, your trained person (TKO), receives a mini-service manual and tool kit and is certified by a Xerox Service Trainer that he or she can complete the specific program/machine tasks.

Using XPP, you can maintain better control of resources and job scheduling by planning and scheduling basic maintenance at convenient times, rather than waiting for a Xerox customer service person. XPP is a productivity initiative for which the training can be at your location or an agreed upon Xerox location.

Xerox Productivity Plus enhances your Xerox full-service maintenance agreement by providing better information to your Xerox Service Representative before making a service call. Xerox continues to monitor the progress of the TKO to ensure that the machine is performing at optimum levels.

Note

For more information on this program and/or for training information, contact the Xerox Customer Support Center or go to www.xerox.com.

Backing up/transferring the stock library

Any stock that you have created/copied and stored in the Stock Library can be backed up and/or transferred to another machine’s PC User Interface (UI) by using an external USB flash drive.

Note

A USB flash drive is required to copy (backup) and/or transfer files from one machine’s PC UI to another machine’s PC UI.

1.Insert the USB flash drive into a USB port on the machine’s PC.

Maintenance on UI

Note

The machine does not interrupt a job or stop running if a Technical Key Operator Replaceable Unit (TKORU) status indicates a low or depleted level. Your TKORU may continue to perform as expected far beyond the average life indicator. The Technical Key Operator (TKO) uses this status indicator information each time service is performed on your machine.

Important

The charge corotrons and drum cartridges can be replaced ONLY by a trained, qualified Technical Key Operator (TKO)

Maintenance tab

Selecting the Maintenance tab opens a window which displays options for cleaning particular components inside your machine. The Maintenance screen is divided into two sections; Charge Corotron Cleaning, and Dry Ink Cleaning.

The Maintenance cleaning options are listed below:

•Charge Corotron Cleaning: Allows you to clean one or all of the charge corotrons. You may want to run this cleaning procedure if you are having certain image quality issues, such as banding or mottling. Refer to the User Guide, the Problem solving/Image quality section for more information.

•Dry Ink Cleaning: Allows you to clean one or all of the dry ink/toner cartridge systems. You may want to run this cleaning procedure if you are having certain image quality issues, such as white or dark spots or blotches on the prints. These spots or blotches are caused by dry ink/toner adhering to the drum. Refer to the User Guide, the Problem solving/Image quality section for more information.

Test Print option

The Test Print option is available only when you are logged on as Administrator. The Test Print option is available with all Advanced Stock Setup options. Please read the following information before using the Test Print option.

•It is recommended that you choose only one option at a time, and then run a set of test prints to evaluate the output. This helps you determine whether or not that option is providing the desired printed output.

•If you determine that the output is unacceptable after running test prints, either further adjust the value for a particular option (if applicable) and run more test prints or return the option to its default value and continue to the next option.

•If you want multiple Advanced Stock Setup options selected, individually select each option, run Test Prints, and evaluate the output. After you determine that the output for the selected option is acceptable, then you can select another option to adjust.

•It is important to remember that any settings for a particular option that is used today for a specific print job may not achieve the same desired outcome/output when used on different day for that same print job. This is especially relevant if the room in which the machine is located experiences changes in temperature and humidity.

•You may need to continually repeat procedures and test prints for any Advanced Stock Setup option until you achieve acceptable output prints.

•If you determine that your output still is unacceptable after repeating procedures and test prints multiple times, call your Customer Support Center for help/assistance.

Paper curl correction

Paper curl overview

This option allows you to select the desired paper curl setting in order to prevent your output from curling. This section provides an overview of paper curl, what causes it and why adjustments may be required in order to obtain optimum print output.

When paper is exposed to heat, the paper loses moisture and curls toward the heat source. High dry ink/toner coverage jobs tend to curl more due to the dryink/toner plastification effect on the paper surface. The system tries to reduce this by using mechanical devices within the paper path called decurlers.

Paper curl is caused by many variables, including:

•The weight of the paper and whether it is coated or uncoated.

•The amount of dry ink/toner and the area being covered on a sheet; the heavier the coverage, the greater the tendency to curl.

•How the paper is loaded in the tray. Make sure you load the paper as instructed on the ream wrapper.

•The atmospheric conditions of the room where the paper is stored, especially those related to humidity and temperature.

•The heat generated during the fusing processes.

Your system is designed with an automated setting to control curl. When using the system Default, the machine automatically sends paper through the proper decurler. The system Default automatically determines the amount of pressure needed at the different decurlers in order to reduce the output curl of the paper.

With some print jobs, the output prints still may be curled more than you desire even after using the system default. In those cases, use the Paper Curl Correction option to compensate for paper curl in your prints. Paper Curl Correction settings are based on the job type and image density ratio. These settings are manually entered through the Advanced Stock Setup feature, and you must be logged in as the Administrator.

Paper curl correction

Note

It is important to remember that a successful paper curl correction setting used today may not be the same setting that you would use on another day. This is especially relevant if the room in which machine is located experiences changes in temperature and humidity.

Paper Curl Correction options

The Paper Curl Correction options from the Advanced Stock Setup window include:

•1 Sided-Face Up: This option allows you to set specific paper curl information for one-sided only printed output which exits the machine in the face up position.

•1 Sided-Face Down: This option allows you to set specific paper curl information for one-sided only printed output which exits the machine in the face down position.

•2 Sided: This option allows you to set specific paper curl information for two-sided printed output.

Tip

Changing the default setting should be considered a temporary solution because environmental conditions vary from day to day. It is recommended that upon completion of the print job, you return the option to its default setting.
