Select and prepare an installation site • Lightest: 20-pound or 75-gsm • Heaviest: 110-pound or 200-gsm. Paper is fed into the printer with the long side as the leading edge. When you purchase paper, buy long-grain paper. Make sure the grain is parallel with the long side (long grain) for the most reliable feeding and stacking. Storing paper Paper has a tendency to curl under the heat that is present inside xerographic equipment. To minimize the amount of curling, use paper with low moisture content. Paper with excessive moisture content has a tendency to jam because of the greater curl. The maximum recommended moisture content is 5.7 percent. Keep these points in mind when preparing your paper storage area: • Store paper in its own wrapper; do not leave it unwrapped or where it can be damaged by dampness or heat. • Store paper on a flat surface and not on its side or edge. • Store reams of paper in a closed cabinet. • Always store paper in a cool, dry area. Store on pallets or shelves, not on the floor. • Plan ahead and keep at least a day's supply of paper in the same area as the printer to allow environmental stabilization prior to printing. Dry ink Dry ink (also referred to as toner) is the black powder which forms the image on the printed page. There are three cartridges of dry ink in each carton. You should keep at least one extra cartridge on hand at all times. The disposable cartridges are easily changed with no mess. The consumption rate of Xerox dry ink is approximately one cartridge per 45,000 pages. Use only dry ink that is specified for use in the DocuTech printer as described in the consumable supplies table. DocuTech 61xx Installation Planning Guide 4-27
