Dry Ink/Toner status area
This area of the UI displays the status of the dry ink/toner
cartridges with a gauge indicating the level/amount of toner for
each cartridge. As toner is used, the display continually updates
the gauge for each toner cartridge.
For example, the gauges for the dry ink/toner cartridges indicate
the amount of toner in each cartridge:
•
The cartridge is 100% full when all four bars are filled with its
appropriate color (as indicated in the illustration with Yellow).
•
The cartridge is 75% full when three bars filled (as shown with
Cyan).
•
The cartridge is 50% full when two bars are filled in (as shown
with Magenta and Black 2).
•
The cartridge 25% full when one bar is filled in (as shown with
Black 1).
The five dry ink/toner cartridges are Customer Replaceable Units
(CRUs). Each cartridge is also equipped with a CRUM (Customer
Replaceable Unit Memory) monitor. The CRUM is a wireless
system that monitors and stores information about the dry ink/
toner cartridges, including the following:
•
Characteristics of the dry ink/toner cartridges which guarantee
the number of prints described in the user specifications
•
Information that guarantees image quality
•
Information which allows it to detect the life span of each
cartridge
•
Maintaining a usage log for each color for reference at the time

www.xerox.com. Use the search parameter DocuColor 5000
and follow the path until you reach the files to download.
Paper handling
NOTE: Many suppliers use arrows on the product labels to
indicate the preferred side to image first. Use this side (as
signaled by the arrow) as equivalent to the seam side when
loading the paper.
For the best performance, load paper with the seam side up in all
the paper trays. The seam side is where the ream of paper is
sealed. Refer to the label on the paper ream.
Many factors affect the performance of paper, including room
temperature, humidity, paper quality, dust, and the size of the
image area. If jams or paper curl problems occur, remove the
paper from the paper tray, turn it over, place it back in the paper
tray, and resume printing. If the problem is rectified, continue to
load your paper in the same manner.
If the problem is not rectified, load a new ream of paper and try the
process again. If the problem persists, your Administrator may go
into the Administrator mode and try the different decurler
settings. If, after trying all the previous suggestions, the problem
still persists, call your Xerox representative.

3. Paper information
For reliable digital press operation and good print quality, Xerox
recommends the following:
Stored paper:
•
On a flat surface. Do not store paper directly on the floor, since
this increases the possibility of moisture absorption. Paper
should be stored on pallets, shelves, or in cabinets in an area
protected from extremes of temperature and humidity.
•
In a low dust area.
•
In a low humidity area. Humidity is one of the most important
steps to promote proper paper characteristics. Optimum paper
storage conditions include a relative humidity of 35-55%. An
increase in humidity may cause paper to develop wavy edges.
This occurs because the edges absorb moisture while the rest
of the ream remains unaffected. Wavy edges causes jams and
misfeeds.
•
In an air-tight, moisture-proof container.
•
In a controlled temperature. The temperature in the room
where paper is stored has a significant effect on how that
paper performs in the machine. Optimum paper storage
temperature is 68-76° F (20-24.4° C).
Cutting and trimming paper
Proper cutting of the paper is important. Mills that offer paper in
“cut sizes” crop their papers using state-of-the-art rotary slitters on
high performance systems. Slitting and edge trimming by circular
knives with dust removal at every cutting point prevents
contamination of the paper.
Trimming papers from parent sheets to get the desired output size
may generate dust if dull knives are used. The recommendation is
to delay trimming until printing has been finalized to prevent paper
dust generation and contamination.
If pre-printing is imperative, an in-house maintenance program,
including knife sharpness maintenance and dust removal with a
vacuum or air system, are key to achieving good results.
DocuColor 5000 User Guide

3. Paper information
Paper guidelines
For the best results, remember the following:
•
Do not load paper or other materials above the MAX line on
the rear paper guide.
•
Do not store extra reams of paper in the paper trays.
•
Do not use wrinkled, torn, curled, or folded paper.
•
Use the paper sizes and weights shown in the Recommended
Materials List.
•
Follow the suggestions in the Specialty Media Guide: Hints
and Tips.
•
Do not mix sizes or weights of paper in a paper tray.
•
Ensure that the tray is set for the correct paper size, weight
range, and paper type.
Copy paper is fed into the digital press in one of two positions:
long edge feed (LEF) or short edge feed (SEF). Long edge refers
to the long edge of the paper. When you see LEF, position the
paper so the long edge is fed first. Short edge refers to the short
edge of the paper. When you see SEF, position the paper so the
short edge is fed first.
NOTE: It is imperative that you load paper with the paper guides
adjusted properly. If the paper is NOT loaded properly, it skews
and jams occur.

DocuColor 5000 User Guide

3. Paper information
Curl
When paper is exposed to heat, the paper loses moisture and
curls toward the heat source. High coverage jobs tend to curl more
due to the toner plastification effect on the paper surface. The
system tries to reduce this by using mechanical devices within the
paper path called decurlers.
Your system has been designed with an automatic curl control
system that uses information such as: the amount of coverage on
the page, paper weight, whether the paper is coated or uncoated,
and the current humidity and temperature to determine the
amount of pressure needed at the different decurlers to reduce
output curl.
NOTE: If you are experiencing excessive curl, remove the paper
from the tray, turn it over and replace it in the tray. If the curl is still
excessive, refer to the Administrator Guide, page 3-32 to change
the decurler settings in order to accommodate the environmental
and paper conditions.

Transparencies can be run from all the paper trays.
Use only the transparencies recommended:
•
Xerox Removable Paper Stripe: USA and Canada, 3R5765;
Xerox Europe, 003R91331.
•
Load transparencies into a tray with the paper stripe side
facing DOWN and with the stripe as the leading edge. (The
leading edge is the edge that feeds into the digital press first.)
•
Do not mix paper and transparencies in a tray. Jams may
occur.
•
Ensure that Transparency is selected in the Paper Weight
section at the top/front of the paper tray.
Tabbed inserts
Tabbed Inserts can be loaded into the paper trays as Non-
Standard paper.
•
When loading, the non-tabbed, short edge of the tabbed insert
should be the lead edge to the digital press.
•
If a jam occurs while running tabbed sets, there is no recovery
procedure.
•
You have to manually reassemble your originals and
prints, determine where the job left off, and resume printing
or cancel the job and start again.
•
The size of the tabbed insert should be 9 x 11 inch (229 x 279
mm) for letter size tabs (223.5 x 296 mm for A4 equivalent
tabs).
•
The correct weight of the insert should be selected on the
tray.
•
Select Custom size on the Tray Properties screen, input 11
inches or 296 mm for A4 as the width and 9 inches or 223.5

Each paper tray has two blowers and two fans. The blowers
are located in the front of each tray, while the two fans are
located on the right-side of the tray.

The paper trays also have air adjustment levers on the drawer
to regulate the direction of the air.
If the paper weight is between 60 and 256 g/m2, the position of the

High Capacity Stacker
The High Capacity Stacker (HCS) is an optional finishing device
that provides stacking and offsetting capabilities for output to the
HCS Stacker Tray. The HCS connects to the right side of the
digital press and replaces the Offset Catch Tray.
The HCS Stacker Tray has a capacity of 3500 sheets of 24 lb (90
g/m2) centerline paper (or 370 mm high). The HCS Top Tray has a
capacity of 250 sheets of 24 lb 90 gm2 centerline paper. The HCS
is supplied with two Stacker Carts. If needed, you can purchase an
additional Stacker Cart. Contact your Xerox representative for
further details.
NOTE: The Stacker Tray cannot support more than 99 lb. (45 kg)
of printed material and therefore, cannot hold 3500 sheets of
coated paper (for example SRA3).

Banner sheets can be used with your color server. The banner
sheets must be printed on LEF 8.5 x 11 in. paper. Refer to your
