XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/4635/180 NPS GUIDE TO PERFORMING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE ix x XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/4635/180 NPS GUIDE TO PERFORMING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE 1. 1Feeder trays This chapter shows the steps needed to load and check feeder trays on the DocuPrint NPS, and explains what actions are necessary if paper stock is changed. The number of feeder trays on your system depends on the number of feeder/stacker modules installed. Checking feeder trays Check the amount of paper remaining in each feeder tray by examining the green lights above the icons on the door of the tray.Each light represents 25% of a ream, or about 125 sheets of 20pound or 80 gsm (grams per square meter) paper. • You can open and load any tray not currently in use without interrupting printing. • If you try to open a tray currently in use, the feeding switches to a backup tray if one is available. If a backup tray is not available, the printer stops. XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/4635/180 NPS GUIDE TO PERFORMING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE 1-1 FEEDER TRAYS • The printer does not feed all the paper out of a tray— approximately 1/4 inch (6 mm) remains in the tray. Loading feeder trays It is important to load paper properly in the feeder trays to prevent jams and loss of production time. The following guidelines will help ensure maximum efficiency of your printer’s operation. Guidelines for loading paper When you are loading the paper, follow these guidelines to prevent pager jams: • • • • • • Remove damaged sheets. • For trays 3, 4, 5 and 6, load paper with curl side up. If you do not detect paper curl, load paper with the wrapper seam side down. Load the paper with the package wrapper seam side up. Make sure that the direction of the curl is consistent. Avoid fanning the paper unless the stock is predrilled. Do not load the paper above the MAX line on the length guide. Place any paper left in the bottom of the tray on top of the new paper stack. Additional guidelines for loading special stocks: • When loading predrilled paper, fan the paper and remove loose paper plugs. • • Load transparencies into trays 1 and 2 only. • Loadpreprintedpaper in trays 3, 4, 5, and 6 only, in order not to smudge the print. These trays are vacuum-type feeders, unlike trays 1 and 2, which are friction-type. When loading tab stock,remove deformed, bent, or damaged stock. Loading trays 1 and 2 Trays 1 and 2 are processor feeder trays. 1-2 XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/4635/180 NPS GUIDE TO PERFORMING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE FEEDER TRAYS Follow these steps to load feeder trays 1 and 2. 1. Select the tray you want to load by pressing the Tray Unlock button on the door of the paper tray or by touching the appropriate unlock icon on the printer control console. Note: If the printer has stopped due to a low paper condition, you do not need to press the Tray Unlock button. 2. Wait until the Ready to Open indicator lights. 3. Pull the feeder tray out until it stops. 4. Pull out any partially fed paper from the feeder assembly and discard it. There will be some resistance. 5. Squeeze the lever against the back of the length guide and slide the guide toward the back of the printer. 6. Remove any paper remaining in the tray and set it aside to be placed on top of the new paper. XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/4635/180 NPS GUIDE TO PERFORMING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE 1-3 FEEDER TRAYS 7. Load paper, following the instructions on the labels of the feeder tray and carefully positioning the paper in the right front corner of the tray. Caution: guide. 1-4 Do not load above the MAX line shown on the paper XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/4635/180 NPS GUIDE TO PERFORMING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE FEEDER TRAYS 8. Pull the length guide forward to touch the back of the paper stack. 9. Latch the paper feeder assembly by pressing the green dot next to the green release lever until the assembly clicks into position. 10. Push the tray in slowly but firmly until it latches. Do not slam the tray closed. This can cause improper latching or machine damage. 11. If the printer stopped due to a low paper condition, press the Continue button on the printer control console to resume printing. XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/4635/180 NPS GUIDE TO PERFORMING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE 1-5 FEEDER TRAYS Loading trays 3, 4, 5, and 6 1. Select the tray you want to load by pressing the Tray Unlock button on the door of the paper tray or by touching the appropriate unlock icon on the printer console. Note: If the printer has stopped due to a low paper condition, you do not need to press the Tray Unlock button. 2. Wait until the Ready to Open indicator lights. 3. Pull the feeder tray out until it stops. 4. Slide both length guides away from the paper. For the rear guide, squeeze the lever against the back of the length guide and slide the guide toward the back of the printer. 5. Remove any paper remaining in the tray and set it aside to be placed on top of the new paper. 1-6 XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/4635/180 NPS GUIDE TO PERFORMING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE FEEDER TRAYS 6. Load paper, following the instructions on the label at the front of the feeder tray and carefully positioning the paper in the rightfront corner of the tray. Note: The way you load the paper depends on the paper size required by the job. For paper longer than 14 inches, load the long edge against the back guide. 7. Slide both length guides back against the paper. 8. Push the tray in slowly but firmly until it latches. Do not slam the tray closed. This can cause improper latching or machine damage. XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/4635/180 NPS GUIDE TO PERFORMING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE 1-7 FEEDER TRAYS 9. If the printer stopped due to a low paper condition, press the Continue button on the printer console to resume printing. 1-8 XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/4635/180 NPS GUIDE TO PERFORMING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE 2. 2Output trays and bins Your print jobs are sent to output trays or bins which you must unload. You can unload each of the output trays or bins while the system is printing. This chapter discusses how to check and unload the trays and bins. If the printer has stopped due to a full output tray or bin and does not resume automatically when the tray or bin is emptied, press the Continue button on the printer control console. The number of output bins on your system depends on the number of feeder/stacker modules installed. Checking and unloading sample trays The sample tray holds up to 100 sheets of paper from 7 by 10 inches (178 by 254 mm) to 17 by 14 inches (432 by 356 mm). No message appears when the sample tray is full. Since a paper jam can occur if the tray is overfilled, empty the sample tray regularly, if it is in use. To empty the sample tray, simply remove the printed pages. Note: Since the sample tray can receive waste sheets purged after a paper jam, always clear the sample tray after clearing a jam. This prevents waste sheets from being confused with good sheets. Checking and unloading purge trays Aborted sheets (that is, sheets damaged during printing or cleared before or after a paper jam) are sent to the purge tray. Sheets may be purged before, during, or after print jobs. Sheets are also sent to the purge tray following a fuser area jam. The sheets purged at that time clean the fuser area, ensuring good print quality for your subsequent jobs. The purge tray holds up to 100 sheets of paper from 7 by 10 inches (178 by 254 mm) to 17 by 14 inches (432 by 356 mm). No message appears when the purge tray is full. Since a paper jam can occur if the tray is overfilled, empty the purge tray at least once a day. To empty the purge tray, simply remove the printed pages. XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/4635/180 NPS GUIDE TO PERFORMING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE 2-1 OUTPUT TRAYS AND BINS Checking and unloading high-capacity stacker (HCS) bins The 4635 and 180 NPS printers can have up to four high-capacity stacker (HCS) bins. The 96 NPS printer can have up to two highcapacity stacker bins. Each high-capacity tray holds 2500 sheets of 20lb (80 gsm) paper. (Refer to System Overview for additional information on the high-capacity stacker bins.) If you use large paper sizes such as A3 or 11 x 17 inch, the stacker may hold less than 2500 sheets. This is to ensure that the stack is at a safe weight for lifting and unloading by the operator. • You can lower, pull out, and unload any bin not currently in use, without interrupting printing, as long as another HCS is ready to receive paper. • If you select a bin that is in use, the printer begins stacking in the next defined high-capacity stacker bin if it is available. If no stacker bin is available, printing stops. • Once a sheet is delivered to a stacker bin, each subsequent sheet must be within 25 mm (approximately 1 inch) of each dimension of the first sheet. Unloading a stacker bin 1. Select a bin for unloading by pressing the Bin Unload button on the bin control panel. (You can also select the bin for unloading through the printer mimic of the printer control console.) 2-2 XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/4635/180 NPS GUIDE TO PERFORMING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE OUTPUT TRAYS AND BINS Once a bin is selected, the bin elevator lowers and the bin cannot be used until it is emptied completely. When the bin elevator stops in the down position, the Ready to Unload indicator lights. 2. Open the bin doors, pull the platform out until it stops, and lift the paper stack off the platform to a nearby table or paper cart. Caution: the bin. Always use both hands to lift the paper stack out of 3. Firmly push the platform back to its original position and close the bin doors. The bin elevator rises, and the bin is again ready for use. Note: If the bin is not empty, the elevator remains down, and a message appears on the printer control console and Printer Controller display telling you to empty the bin.

It is critical that the fuser be kept lubricated with fuser agent and that its reservoir be kept full. This chapter describes the procedure for adding fuser lubricant in the printer. To add fuser agent: 1. Open the right and left doors of the printer and locate the fuser area. 2. Place a dropcloth on the floor under the fuser area. XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/4635/180 NPS GUIDE TO PERFORMING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE 3-1 FUSER LUBRICANT 3. Grasp the green handle on the fuser drawer and pull it out until it stops. 4. Put on gloves. ! Warning: Fuser agent contains silicone, which can cause irritation upon contact with the eyes. Be sure to wash your hands with soap and water after you finish this procedure. 5. Locate the fuser agent reservoir, pull it out until it stops, and remove the reservoir cap by turning it counterclockwise. 3-2 XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/4635/180 NPS GUIDE TO PERFORMING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE FUSER LUBRICANT 6. Remove the cap from a new bottle of fuser agent and carefully pour the fuser agent into the reservoir, until the level reaches the MAX line. ! Warning: If any fuser agent spills on the floor, remove it immediately. Fuser agent spills make the floor slippery. Use of Xerox Film Remover (isopropynal alcohol) is recommended to clean up spills. Caution: The fuser reservoir has an anti-splash seal. Do not push the fuser agent bottle into the reservoir with excessive force, as this can damage the seal. 7. Replace the reservoir cap by turning it clockwise and push the fuser agent reservoir in until it stops. XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/4635/180 NPS GUIDE TO PERFORMING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE 3-3 FUSER LUBRICANT 8. Push the fuser drawer in until it latches in place. 9. Dispose of the dropcloth and any empty agent bottles in a trash receptacle. If there is any agent left in the bottle, cap the bottle and store it for future use. 10. Remove and dispose of the gloves in a trash receptacle, being careful not to let any residue come in contact with your skin. 11. Close the printer doors. Note: The fuser agent message disappears after the printer prints between 32 and 40 sheets. Since the sheets must be processed continuously, you may want to run 45 test pages in order to clear the message from the system (unless the current print job contains at least 40 pages). 12. Wash your hands to remove any fuser agent. 3-4 XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/4635/180 NPS GUIDE TO PERFORMING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE 4. 4Adding dry ink Dry ink is the black powder that forms the image on the printed page. This chapter describes the procedure for adding dry ink to the printer. Adding dry ink When the printer is low on dry ink, the Attention light turns on, and the message ADD DRY INK displays on the printer console. Add dry ink at your earliest convenience. If you do not add dry ink, the printer eventually stops printing. It does not resume printing until you replace the dry ink bottle. Caution: If any dry ink gets on your hands, wash them with soap and cold water. Heat sets the ink permanently. If any dry ink gets on your clothes, brush them with a dry paper towel or a stiff-bristled brush. If this does not remove the ink immediately, launder with detergent and cold water. Dry cleaners should be told that the spot is dry ink for a printer, so they do not use a solvent that sets the stain. Use the procedure on the following pages to add dry ink to your 96/ 4635/180 NPS. XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/4635/180 NPS GUIDE TO PERFORMING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE 4-1 ADDING DRY INK To add dry ink: 1. Open the printer doors and locate the dry ink area on the left side of the printer. 2.

If any dry ink gets on your clothes, brush them with a dry paper towel or a stiff-bristled brush. If this does not remove the ink immediately, launder with detergent and cold water. Dry cleaners should be told that the spot is dry ink for a printer, so they will not use a solvent that sets the stain. Note: Do not discard damaged, unused dry ink bottles. Return the bottles to Xerox for exchange (for credit in the USA). 4-4 XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/4635/180 NPS GUIDE TO PERFORMING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE 5. 5Replacing the dry ink waste container The dry ink waste container receives the dry ink inside the printer that does not fuse to paper during printing. This container must be replaced when full. To replace the dry ink waste container: 1. Open the right and left printer doors and locate the dry ink waste container. 2. Place a dropcloth on the floor under the dry ink waste container area. Caution: To prevent dry ink spills, do not tip or tilt the waste container.

Cleaning the keyboard, monitor, and the exterior of the Printer Controller Clean the exterior surfaces of your Printer Controller, including monitor and keyboard, as required. Clean daily, if possible. Use the following supplies to clean the exterior surfaces: • Monitor: Use a soft, lint-free cloth dampened with a glass cleaner. Do not spray the liquid directly onto the monitor since it may cause damage. • Keyboard: Use a mild household detergent that has been poured or sprayed onto a cloth lightly dampened with water. Do not saturate the cloth; just dampen it. • Exterior: Use a mild household detergent that has been poured or sprayed onto a cloth lightly dampened with water. Do not saturate the cloth; just dampen it. Caution: Do not allow liquids to drip onto anything electrical or mechanical. For the same reason, never spray or pour the cleaner directly onto the keyboard or the exterior surfaces of the system. Cleaning the sensors and the reflective surfaces Sensors at various points along the paper path indicate where sheets of paper are passing. After a sheet has passed a sensor, if too much time elapses before another sheet arrives, the system determines a jam has occurred, and printing stops. If a sensor becomes dirty, it may not accurately detect sheets passing and may give incorrect jam information. Therefore, it is important to clean sensors regularly. Sensors are usually cleaned by your Xerox service representative as part of regular maintenance. However, under certain conditions you may be directed to clean them yourself by the Xerox Customer Support Center or by your local operating company. 1. Brush or wipe the sensor window lightly. Note: If the sensor is very dirty, clean it with a small amount of alcohol on a swab. 2. Remove any paper dust present in the area. XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/4635/180 NPS GUIDE TO PERFORMING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE 6-1 CLEANING Caution: sensor.

If you are reporting meters for other Xerox printers during the same call, make sure you have the serial number available for each one before calling. If you know how to read the billing meters for your system, you can have that information ready when you call. Otherwise, the service representative will provide you with instructions when you call. To report billing meter readings, call 1-800-891-8405 (all U.S. locations) or contact your local Xerox operating company.
