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.

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.
DocuColor 5252 System Administration Guide

Too ls Mo de
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 registration marks indicate the reference point on side one. The dotted lines indicate the reference point on side two.

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
the edge of the paper, enter +1.2mm.

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.

The Output feature allows you to set the default settings that display on the Output option on the Basic Features screen. You may select Auto, Face Up, Face Down, Collated, or Uncollated. Selecting Auto enables the digital press to determine the copy output based on the scan of the original document. If Auto is selected, the output from both DADF and the Platen Glass will be Face Up. If you have a High Capacity Stacker, an Enhanced High Capacity Stacker or a High Capacity Stacker Stapler connected to your digital press, you can select which output tray to send your prints to, and whether or not to separate your printed sets. You may choose these options independently.
This section provides instructions for using the Output feature without a finishing device, with a high capacity stacker, with a enhanced high capacity stacker and with a high capacity stacker stapler.
