Audio tones

The copier/printer provides three types of audio tones to assist the operator in selectin g fe at ur es and functions. The System Administrator can adjust the volume of some of the audio t ones using Tools mode.

• When a selection is made, the copier/printer

beeps once when a but ton i s to uched to acknowledge th e in put .

• A triple beep tone soun ds w hen a conflict

occurs between the selections already made and the one being attempted. A triple beep also occurs when a fea tu re is not av aila bl e.

• The attention tone c onsists of a series of

longer beeps. The attention tone sounds when the copier/printer warm-up cycle is complete.

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 Scanner from external light.

This is especially important when you select the Auto Colour option. The copier/printer does not operate with the Du pl ex Au to m at ic Docum ent Feeder open whe n th e Auto C ol our option is selected.

KEY POINT :

• Do not use excessive force to press down on

the Duplex Autom at ic Docum ent Feeder.

• If the Duplex Autom at ic Docum ent Feeder

must be open during the scanning, the Output Colour feature cannot be set to Auto Colour. You must make a differen t sele ct io n.

After you place docum ents face up in the Duplex Automatic Docu m ent Feeder, ensure that the paper guide is against the document, and press the Start button to begin the scan operation.

DOCUMENT CE NTRE CS 50 USER GUIDE 2–13 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR COPIER / PRINTER

Document Glass

After you have select ed the desired features, you should place the ori ginal document onto the Document Glas s. R aise t he D up le x Aut om atic Document Feeder and place (register ) the document in the correct orientation on the Document Glas s fo r long edge feed or short edge feed, as illustrated in Fi gur e 13.

NOTE: Y ou can set the orientation on a number of user screens or the Syst em Adm i ni strator can change the defaul t ori entation in Tool s M ode.

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

Lower the Duplex Aut om at i c 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 scanned short edge first,

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

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

• The maximum sc anned image size is 11 x 17

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

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR COPIER / PRINTER 2–14 DOCUMENT CE NTRE CS 50 USE R GUIDE

Auto Image Rotation

The Document Centre ColorSeries 50 offers an automatic rotation feature for A4 inch original documents input from both the Duplex Automatic Document Feeder and the Document Gl ass.

KEY POINT : The following information only applies when th e Aut o Tray is sele ct ed. If th e copier/printer detects that the image area of a document that is bein g scanned short edge fe ed will not fit on the paper, it will automatically rotate the image 90° t o ens ur e th at the ent ire ima ge appears on the output (long edge feed).

Therefore, if you are scanning an A4 inch original document and you have requested 11 x 8.5 inch long edge feed pape r, the image will be rotated 90° to provide the entire image on the output.

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

KEY POINT : Auto Rotation is not perform ed for documents that are scanned long edge first.

Paper Trays and Paper Path

Paper Trays

Paper Trays 1, 2, 3, and 4 are located at the lower front of the copier/print er, as illustrated in Figur e

14. Paper Tray 5 is on the left of the copier/printer, as illustrated in Figure 14 and Figure 15.

Paper Tray 1 can accommodate 8.5 x 11 inch, A4, A5, or B5 paper.

Paper Trays 2, 3, and 4 can accomm odate an assortment of standard paper sizes, from 8 x 10 inch through 11 x 17 inch, and B5 through A3.

NOTE: Paper Trays 2, 3, and 4 can also

accommodate 12 x 18 inch (305mm x 457mm) paper through a speci al, op tional tray setup procedure performed by a Xerox service representative. If you ar e in teres t ed i n this opt io n, contact your Xerox serv ic e re pre sentative.

Paper Tray 5 (sometimes cal le d th e Bypass Tray or Multiple Sheet Inserter) is locate d on th e left side of the copier/printer.

Output is delivere d differen tly, depending on the configuration of your system and on the jo b options you cho ose.

If you use the Document Glass to input the original document, the requested number of copies will be delivered, face up, to the Output Tray or Offset Catch Tray on the right side of the copier/printer.

If you use the Duplex A ut om ati c D ocument Feeder to input the or igin al document, the output will be delivered in one of th e followin g ways. ( The example uses a three-page job.)

• Basic, single-co py output is delivered face

down in 1, 2, 3 order.

• Multiple-copy output is delivered to the Output

Tray face up with copies of the first page on the bottom and the last page on t op, as, fo r example, in 3/3/3, 2/2 /2, 1/1/ 1 or der.

• For a multiple-copy job in a configuration wi th

Dry ink (Tone r)

The Documen t Cen tre C ol or Ser i es 50 copier/ printer has a four-colour devel opment s ystem that uses a combination of dry inks (toners) to produce the output colours. The dr y i nk (toner) colours are magenta, cyan, yellow, and black.

Each dry ink (toner) is co ntaine d in a car tridge. When dry ink (ton er ) is runni ng l ow in a partic ular

cartridge, the Touch Screen displays a message indicating that it is time to reor der that toner colour. When a cartridge is empty, the Touch Screen displays a message indicating that the cartridge should be rep la ced. The Document Centre ColorSeries 50 will not make copies using that colour until the car t ridge has been replaced.

Ground fault protection

The Documen t Cen tre C ol or Ser i es 50 copier/ printer is equipped w i th a saf et y feat ur e cal l ed a Ground Fault Protector, Figure 18. This device removes all electrical power to the copier/printer if a fault is detected in the po w er supply to the copier/printer.

If power is interrupted to the copier/printer, perform the following:

Locate the Grou nd Fault Protector on the back of

the copier/printer in the low er lef t corner. Flip the switch up if the devi c e has been tripped

and the switch is in the O ff (down) pos iti on. If the device interrupts power to the copier /p rint er

again, or if power has not been restored by the above procedure, call your Xerox service representative.

CAUTION: The Fuser Roll remains in a cammedup position if power to the co pi er /p rinter is interrupted while t he copier/printer is in use. If the Fuser Roll remains in the cammed-up position for a prolonged perio d of time, the Fuser Roll can be damaged and copy quality defects can occu r. To prevent any damage, the copier/printe r sh oul d be powered on and a copy/print made as soon as the power is restored. Th e Fuser Roll will not be released from the cammed-up position until the power is restored, the Power Switch is in the On position, and the Start button is pressed agai n.

Preserving your colour output

Colour output, like black and white output, should be handled and st or ed carefully to preserve its appearance and usability. Your colour output, which is made fro m col our dry in ks ( to ners), requires a little special attention. To help preserve the fidelity of your colour out put, Xerox recommends th at you c onsider the following:

Adhesive tapes and adhesives

Some adhesive tapes and adhesives (glues) contain solvents that may soften or dissolve the colour dry ink (toner) . Adhesive tapes and adhesives should be tested on sample output

before being appl i ed to your valuable copies or prints. Adhesive tape may also pull off the dry ink (toner) when the tape is removed.

PVC and colour output

If your output comes i n contact with PVC and PVC-type (vinyl) plastics, the dry ink (toner) m ay

soften and transfer to the plastic. Use polypropylene and polyethylene plastics for any covers or binders that come in contact with the colour output.
