Xerox Nuvera™ 100/120/144 Digital Production System - Customer Expectations Document
- 7 -
• Coated stocks may exhibit issues such as higher jam rates, smearing, loss of halftone image quality,
mottle, light solid areas, and toner scatter.
• Heavier weight stocks (>220 gsm) may experience toner adherence permanence issues depending
on the type of material being used. Please expect degraded performance with parchments, vellums,
and other very smooth or very rough heavy weight stocks. As always, it is important to verify the
application prior to any production run
• Coated stocks should be used in environmental conditions where the ambient temperature is
between 60° and 72°F and the relative humidity is between 20% and 55%
• Images printed on Mylar tabs are typically degraded by toner scatter.
• Approved stocks can be found in the Compatible Media List in this document
• The MICR system, Xerox Nuvera™ MX, does not support printing on DocuCard, DocuClient, Never-
tear, super-gloss, Teslin and transparencies stocks. It also does not support printing on coated (silk
or gloss) stocks above 140 gsm.
• 8½” x 14” paper is loaded short edge feed and runs at 72 pages per minute simplex on 120 and 144
PPM configurations and runs at 60 pages per minute on a 100 PPM configuration. Refer to the
Printer Module Section for a summary of engine speed for various paper sizes.
• Windowed stock is not supported.
• When feeding paper smaller than 8½” (216mm) in the cross process direction, there may be some
degradation of image quality. It is recommended that the customer test their applications for such
cases.
Inserter Module
• LCDS and IPDS applications are currently not able to pull paper stocks from the Insertion Module.
Finishing Devices
Substrates that tend to exhibit curl
when being fed through the Xerox Nuvera™ system can cause
functional problems in the finishing devices. It may be necessary to adjust the manual decurler in order
to get the substrate to become flatter, so that the finishing operation can be successfully completed.
The proper decurler setting will vary depending on the substrate and the ambient environmental
conditions. Paper left opened overnight may exacerbate curl.
Finishing Transport Module (
FTM) with Document Finishing Architecture (DFA) finishing
• The DS5000, Bourg BDFx, and Xerox Square Fold Booklet Maker support a specific range of coated
paper; all other supported inline DFA finishing devices do not support coated paper. Refer to
specific solution planning guides for details.
• Paper latitudes are unique for each inline finishing solution.
• The Xerox SquareFold Booklet Maker Covers Insertion Module (CIM) is not supported for the
SquareFold Booklet Maker. As an alternative, the Inserter Module can be used for covers insertion
except when sending LCDS or IPDS jobs. The Bourg BDFx Booklet Maker with the BCFx Covers
Feeder can be used with LCDS or IPDS jobs that require covers.
• Supported Inline DFA Finishing Solutions are compatible with specific Xerox Nuvera configurations.
Consult finisher module details in this document and, for more details, the Solutions Planning
Guideline for the selected DFA Finishing device. The Finishing Solutions Planning Guides can be
accessed by Xerox sales Reps at http://xww.thefic.xerox.com/dsweb/View/Collection-113169.
Basic Finishing Module (BFM) and Basic Finishing Module (BFM Plus)
• The machine may produce curl that will require intervention with the decurler and the paper supply.
Paper handling within the finisher is best if the paper curl is adjusted to be flat or toward the image
direction. See the User Guide: Problem Solving - Paper Curl, Adjust the Decurler.
• The BFM and BFM Plus do not offset paper sizes larger than 11x17" / A3. This means that 12x18,
12x18.5, SRA3 cannot be offset. For these sizes, software ignores any offset programming
selection.
• For reliable stacking, stack size should be limited for certain jobs:
--Stapled sets of 15 sheets or smaller are limited by machine control to 100 sets.
--Stapled sets of coated stocks stack less well, and should be managed to 50 by the operator.
--Stapled sets should be offset stacked.
--The stack height limit can be operator adjusted.
