Introduction
Disconnect device
Laser safety
The power cable is the disconnect device for this equipment. It is
attached to the back of the machine as a plug-in device. To
remove all electrical power from the machine, disconnect the
power cable from the electrical outlet.
This product complies with safety standards and is certified as a
Class I Laser product under the US Department of Health and
Human Services (DHSS) Radiation Performance Standard
according to the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of
1968. This product does not emit hazardous laser radiation.
Caution: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of
procedures other than those specified herein may result in
hazardous exposure to laser light.
Since radiation emitted inside this product is completely confined
within the protective housing and external covers, the laser beam
cannot escape from the machine during any phase of the user
operation.
The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CRDH) of the US
Food and Drug Administration implemented regulations for laser
products on August 1, 1976. These regulations apply to laser
products marketed in the United States. The label on the machine
indicates compliance with CDRH regulations and must be
attached to laser products marketed in the United States.
This product contains laser warning labels. These labels are
intended for use by XEROX Service Representatives and are
placed on or near panels or shields that require special tools for
removal. Do not remove any of these panels. There are no
operator serviceable areas inside these covers.

Auto Color Calibration
Key point 1: The digital press Color Calibration procedure does
not affect the quality of print jobs sent through your color server. It
is for scan to print jobs only.
The digital press has a number of monitoring sensors, as well as
feedback and control mechanisms, that are designed to enhance
overall calibration stability. Image quality is also automatically
adjusted periodically during operation to keep the calibration as
close as possible to the initial setup conditions.
The color server connected to your digital press also has
calibration procedures that you can use for network jobs.
Key point 2: Calibration targets can be printed only on A4 or
letter sized paper. Ensure that your digital press has A4 or Letter
paper loaded in one of the paper trays.
Key point 3: You should be skilled in color science and
calibration procedures before attempting to use the options
available on these screens.
What to know about screening
The digital press with scanner uses an advanced proprietary
screening technology to produce the colors, pictures, tints, and
shades required to produce high-quality prints.
PG is an abbreviation for Pattern Generator. The R in 200R refers
to Rotated Line screen, and the C in 200C and 15C refers to
Cluster Dot screen.
2-12
DocuColor 5252 System Administration Guide
Tools Mode
The five screening methods and what you should remember about
each are described in the following table.
Screening
Method
150C (LPI
Cluster Dot)
200C (LPI
Cluster Dot)
200R (LPI
Rotated Line
screen)
What to Remember
Provides better coverage on rough paper
Larger dot provides better color stability
Reduces black and other solid color mottle
Provides better black coverage due to black toner
granularity
Dot size is better for impressions containing tints,
highlights, and pastels
Most suitable for pages requirement careful control
of highlights
Poorest performance on text
Produces fine rosettes that can better emulate
offset lithography.
May leave jaggies on text (fonts)
Better for creating smooth gradients with minimum
contouring
Best for graphics and images
Switch to the 200R screen if banding occurs
The angle is fixed and cannot be adjusted
Has vertical screening for black, which is better for
text and line art.
Switch to the 200C screen if banding occurs.
Best all-purpose screen.
2 Tools Mode
300 LPI Line
screen
600 LPI Line
screen
Generally considered a special use screen.
Better edges on colored text with fewer jaggies.
Poor color stability due to small size of dot.
The entire color gamut must be reproduced in twomicron area.
Least color stability due to small size of dot.
Not recommended for most workflows.
Used primarily for testing.
The color server uses information from the PostScript job and the
software print driver to determine which screen is used for a
particular job.

Run Calibration
Use the Run Calibration feature if it is visually obvious that the
gray balance on your scan to print jobs is not correct. During the
Run Calibration procedure, the digital press creates a Look Up
Table by reading the 12 Toner Density Patches that print out. The
digital press then compares those readings to the factory-set
target values and makes the necessary adjustments to bring the
values within the target range.
Note: PG is an abbreviation for Pattern Generator. The R in
200R indicates Rotated Line screen, and the C in 200C and 150C
indicates Cluster Dot screen.

(200R, 200C, and 150C screens). Use this option only if you
have noticed a problem with halftone screening.
• Touch the 600 PG button to calibrate the 600 Line screen. Use
this option only if you have noticed a problem with the gray
scale on text.
• Touch the 300 PG & 600 PG button to calibrate all the
screens.
3 Press the Start button on the Control Panel. The calibration
process starts and color patch prints are printed.
2-16
DocuColor 5252 System Administration Guide
Check Gradation
The Check Gradation feature allows you to print gradated color
patch prints for each line screen on the digital press. These
gradated color patch prints are used to verify that the dry ink/toner
densities for CMYK and Grey balance are correct. If you are
dissatisfied with the appearance of any color on the print, you can
manually adjust the dry ink/toner densities for Cyan, Magenta,
Yellow, and Black using the Manual Adjust feature. It is
recommended that you begin your calibration by calibrating the
300 PG screen first. This is the basic line screen that is used, and
all other line screens are calibrated against the 300 PG screen.
Use this feature daily and compare the output of gradated color
patches to the color patch prints from the previous day. Under
normal operating conditions, there should be no difference
between them. Automatic sensors and control mechanisms in the
digital press with scanner should maintain consistent calibration.
If there is an obvious visual difference between two days’ color
patches, run the calibration process on the color server, then run
this gradation process again.

Paper Registration Adjustment
Use the Paper Registration Adjustment feature when running
duplex jobs to adjust the image position if the registration is not
correct.
Image adjustment may be necessary for a couple of reasons:
• Paper is not always the exact same size. It may vary slightly,
with differences of plus or minus 1mm, causing the image to
be misregistered. To reduce the possibility of size differences,
it is recommend that you use paper from the same lot when
running duplex jobs.
• During the fusing process, the heat and pressure applied to
the paper causes the paper to stretch. If the images on sides
one and two are the same size, the stretching of the paper will
cause the image on side one to be slightly larger than the
image on side two.
Some color server manufacturers have a paper registration
feature that you can also use to adjust the position of the image on
the paper. Refer to the documentation that came with your color
server.
Use the following procedure to adjust for side one/side two
registration problems:
Tools Mode
2 Tools Mode
1 Prepare the image, or images, by noting a reference point on side
one, or by placing registration marks at the image border. You can
use a reference point within the image or at the corner of the
image.
Key point: Remember that the digital press does not print bleed
edge images.

2 Output 10 duplex prints and compare the registration mark or
reference point on side one to side two. Discard the first few
prints, as inconsistency tends to be greater with these images. If
there is misregistration, continue with this procedure.
3 Measure the distance between the registration point and the edge
of the paper on both the lead edge (Y) of the paper and the side
edge (X).
Refer to the Measuring Misregistration figure below. The solid line

adjustment is the feeding edge, or Y direction. The Side Edge
Registration adjustment is the front to back, or X, direction.
Key point 2: If the reference point on side two is closer to the
edge of the paper compared to the reference point on side one,
enter a plus figure. If the reference point on side two is further from
the edge of the paper compared to side one, enter a minus figure.
Key point 3: EXAMPLE: If the measurement is 1.2mm closer to

Decurler Setup
Use the Decurler Setup feature to compensate for paper curl in
your prints.
Paper curl is caused by many variables:
• The manufacturer’s brand of paper and the manufacturing lot.
• The weight of the paper, and if 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.
• The atmospheric conditions of the room where the paper is
stored.
• The atmospheric conditions of the room where the digital
press with scanner is located.
• The heat generated during the fusing processes.
The digital press is equipped with an automatic curl control system
that uses the variables listed above to determine the amount of
pressure needed at different Decurlers to reduce the curl.
Key point: If you notice that output prints have too much curl,
first try flipping over the stack of paper in the paper tray being
used. You can also try running the job from a different tray. If curl is
still a problem, refer to the tables below for your market area to
change the default Decurler settings.

Decurler Specifications
The Decurler has both top and bottom adjustment arms that apply
pressure to the paper based on the selections made on the

Paper Types A, B, and C, shown in the following table, are the
parameters established for how papers interact with the digital
press. Refer to the Recommended Materials List for the
recommended settings for grades of paper. Variability from one lot
