Document Feeder and Document Glass

Duplex Automatic Document Feeder (DADF)

The Duplex Automatic Document Feeder ( DADF), Figure 12, acts like a Document Cover by shielding the s

canner from external light.

This is especially important when you select the Auto Color option. The copier/printer does not operate with the Duplex Automatic Document Feeder open when the Auto Color option is selected.

KEY POINT:

• Do not use excessive force to press down on

the Duplex Automatic Document Feeder.

• If the Duplex Automatic Document Feeder

must be open during the sc anning, the Output Color feature cannot be set to Auto Col or. You must make a different selection.

After you place documents face up in the Duplex Automatic Document Feeder, ensure that the paper guide is against the document, and press the Start button to begin the scan operation. The feeder will then feed from the top of the st ack and place the original face down in the DADF output tray on the right.

Figure 12: Duplex Automatic Document

Feeder

DOCUCOLOR 12 USER GUIDE 2–13 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR DOCUCOLOR 12

Document Glass

After you have selected the desir ed feat ures, you should place the original docume nt ont o the Document Glass. Raise the Duplex Automatic Document Feeder and place (register) the document in the correct orientation on the Document Glass for long edge feed or short edge feed, as illustrated in Figure 13.

NOTE: Y ou can set the orie ntation on a number of user screens or the System Administr ator can change the default orient ation in Tools Mode.

The document must be face down and in the upper-left corner of the Document Glass.

Lower the Duplex Automatic Document Feeder and press the Start button to begin the scan operation.

KEY POINT:

Figure 13: Registering a document

on the Document Glass

• When a document is sca nned short e dge fi rst,

but the requested paper tray holds paper so it will print long edge first, the Auto Rotation feature will cause a document to be rotat ed

90°. If the output is to be 2-sided, the second side will be rotated 270° to maintain head-tohead output.

• The maximum scanned image size is 11 x 17

inches or A3. To copy an image of this size onto 12 x 17.7 inch or SRA3 p aper, you must select 102% enlargement.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR DOCUCOLOR 12 2–14 DOCUCOLOR 12 USER GUIDE

Auto Image Rotation

The DocuColor 12 offers an automatic rotation feature for 8.5 x 11 inch original documents input from both the Duplex Automatic Document Feede r and the Document Glass.

KEY POINT: The following information applies ONLY when the Auto Tray is selected: If the

copier/printer detects that the image area of a document that is being scanned short edge first will not fit on the paper, it will automatically rotate the image 90° to ensure that the entire image appears on the output (long edge first).

Therefore, if you are scanning an 8.5 x 11 inch original document, the i mage will b e r otat ed 90° to provide the entire image on the output.

If you request 2 Sided output, Side 1 will be rotated 90° and Side 2 will be rotated 270° to ensure head-to-he ad output.

KEY POINT: Auto Rotation is not performed for documents that are scanned long edge fi rst.

Preserving your color output

Color output, like black and white output, should be handled and stored carefully to preserve its appearance and usability. Your col or output, which is made from color dry inks (toners), requires a little special attent ion. To help preserve the fidelity of your color 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 polypr opylene and polyethylene plastics for any covers or binders that come in contact with the color output.

BASIC COPY ING 4–4 DOCUCOLOR 12 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 this mode, output is produced at approximately 12 copies/prints per min u te.

KEY POINT: Gold, silver, and fluorescent colors cannot be copied accuratel y on this copier/ pr inter. The dry inks (toners) do not contain the metallic particles neces sary to accurately reproduce gold and silver colors or the fluorescent properties that are required to reproduce fluorescent colors.

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. Process Black is a combination of equal amounts of the three dry inks.

Figure 4: Example of Full Color

NOTE: Process Black is created using Gray Component Removal and uses equal amounts of Cyan + Magenta + Yellow Dry Inks to create the black in the document.

Figure 5: Example of 3 Pass Color

DOCUCOLOR 12 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.
