Xerox 1000 and machine issues...

[yanger]

We've worked with Xerox for as long as I've worked here at my place. Just wanted to see what type of papers you guys use with it since we're having troubles left and right. this X1000 was just installed two weeks ago with a EFI frontend, the full color package, extra two paper feeders and professional finisher and a proof/stacker.

Here are the issues we're fighting with on the X1000 :P

Issue #1: paper dust. we use hammermil 28# 100 brights and the tech is claiming there's lots of paper fiber all around the paper path.

Issue #2: label stocks - we actually ran xerox standard label stocks and it's causing grime buildup on the external heat roll. anyone tried using pressure sensative stocks?

Issue #3: for some odd reason, we must be the only weird company to run 8.5x14 legal 28# stock as well as the 11x17/8.5x11, 12x18, and 13x19s, but after 9000 impressions, the fuser belt was damaged.

so, just checking up on you guys on what paper stocks you guys use? thanks!

Yanger we have a x800 with the extra feeder and a stacker, we have about 1.4 mil impressions on it and my experience with this machine is that it is very picky as to the stock you use. We use endurance cover & book and have had good results, but we have to keep cleaning the belts in the transport every 40k impressions and also need to keep the upper cooling belt clean or you'll get constant jams specially on lighter weights. Never have had issues with fused belts wearing out. I also think that the right technician makes huge difference, we are fortunate to have a couple who have a lot of experience.
That's my $0.02

Hello, My 1000 unit was installed at the end of Decmber and I also have a professional finisher with bookletmaker. I had some issues with fuser belt and colling fillters. Your fuser belt doesn't last long but I think it should last more then 50,000 imprers. My service guy says it's a problem with a switch which controls the way fuser belt moves. Keep all the cover on where you have cooling filters otherwise you will have paper jams. I use a lot of Supreme Silk paper 12x18, 80lb, 100lb, and Xerox Elite Gloss 80lb and 100lb. I recently printed a very large job on Accent offset 60lb and 70lb. Paper size was weired 12.5 x 18.5 and it worked well. I think machine works a lot better now then it was before. Good luck.
