xerox 800/1000 - reliable work horse or stay away?

[Stochastic]

We found the increased jam rates were because we didn't use the tools on the machine correctly! Quick learning curve but once we were shown how each stock can be adjusted and everything from the transfer voltage to fusing pressure and the big thing (which caused our jams) that can easily be set is the aligner pressure roll setting.

Once we used all the settings for each paper correctly the jam rate went way way down. Now the only time we really get a jam is when the stock gets stuck together but thats not such a machine problem it could also be to do with keeping the paper we have in not a completley dry area.

Our jams certainly are down now we know what to do with the profiles of our stock.

As an operator of a Xerox 800/1000 I would like to say the we experience some pretty bad jamming problems with anything higher than 14pt...Really 12pt works the best. I would be cautious of how they sell the whole running 130# DTC on here. We've yet to be able to run 130# cover which is close to 17pt

It's a great press ofr short run high quality work but those extra thick covers just don't work on our 800. Coated or uncoated. Hope this helps
