Keep in mind that the DocuColor 12 reliability metrics are standardized
based upon throughput of Color Xpressions 24 lb. (smooth bright white
paper). This paper is specifically designed to maximize image quality
and machine performance over a wide range of environmental
conditions. The Laser proofing paper designed for this proofing solution
is not expected to match the reliability performance of Color Xpressions
24 lb.

It is not recommended to exceed 5% of the monthly copy / print volume
with the Xerox laser proofing paper. You may expect to see the Xerox
Service Representative more frequently (one or two times a month
additionally) because of increased stress created by Heavyweight paper
to specific areas of the machine, including Tray 5 (the Multiple Sheet
Inserter or By-Pass Tray) and the Fuser Assembly.

Print Speed / System Performance / Limitations
· The maximum print speed for the KPG Matchprint Professional
Server is limited by the print speed of the DocuColor 12.
· DocuColor 12 is a document printer; therefore in reverse order
printing the print engine will not cycle up until the entire job is ready.
This will impact First Copy Out Time (FCOT).
This will impact First Copy Out Time (FCOT).
·
Auto Tray Switching feature on DocuColor 12(e.g., if paper runs out
in tray 1 then it switches to tray 6) is not supported in versions 1.0
through 2.0 of KPG MPS Software.

· Overall system performance (‘Click to Clunk’ time) is primarily
dependent upon the software applications and network environment
being used. Rasterizing (RIP-ing) is only a small fraction of Click to
Clunk time.
