(I'm not sure on the size of that strip, but it looks like the strip we calibrate with)

The top strip here is the one I calibrate our 242 / fiery with.

Thanks xcopytech.

Shooting in the dark before I saw your message, I reapplied the three patches available on the xerox site and now it seems to be working again normally (crossing fingers). I had...

Suddenly my docucolor 242 is printing stretched output when I print to 12x18 heavy1 or plain from either tray 6 (oversize high capacity feeder) or tray 5 (bypass tray.)

Oddly it started doing this...

Or is there any other step that should be performed to calibrate the machine when changing a customer replaceable drum unit?

Thanks very much Kalindd -- if disassembly is required I'll send it in since I'm sure they're setup to rebuild them quicker than I could take it apart and clean it here. Just wanted to be sure there...

I'm a customer and I've only had my machine for two months now, so be gentle :)

Yellow customer replaceable drum unit has two solid yellow streaks - very thin lines that print solid yellow in all...

Thanks kalindd. I don't know if I have to return the empty toner carts yet to xerox so they can remanufacture them, so I can't cut one open to look :D Is the dev actually mixed with toner in the cart...

Was also curious about this, wondering if the fiery software would lock the memory to the installed amount or if it could be upgraded by simply installing a dimm in the open slot.

8.5 x 11 is letter size
8.5 x 14 is legal size

Is the toner getting smudged where the paper is double thickness or on folds/glue strips on the envelope?

Can someone give me a rundown of how the xerox trickle charge developer system works in my new dc242? (or have a little schematic they could share?)

(I'm just a printer, but want to have a basic...

I'm just a user not a tech, but I think they are misguided if they think not getting a service contract is going to control their costs. The whole point of a service contract from a user-perspective...

The calibration through command workstation meaning colorcal (since I don't have a densometer yet) or other?

I guess this was a stupid question. I thought I had read that if printing from the fiery only you don't want to do the autograd with the copy job adjustment button checked, but that appears to be the...

Does the DC242 require a daily gradation adjustment as I'm used to doing with my canon printers? If so, what is the proper procedure? When I go to the auto grad adjustment on the machine if I uncheck...

Also while I'm at it, the power is nice and stable here since we got our new generating station in town so I'm unlikely to due to cost, but out of habit from 10 years ago when it was not so I'm still...

Which model? Thanks.

That's a great price. We just signed up for a 242 for $40,400 and consider it a great deal based on my first couple days experience with it (with finisher, RIP, and OHCP)

Would it be an advantage/disadvantage to use something like a panamax 20A surge protector MAX 2 20AMP SURGE PROTECTOR by Office Depot to plug a docucolor 242 into? Would this protect the machine from...

Thank you to you both -- that makes me feel a lot better.

The customer expectation document doesn't set much of an expectation for accurate registration with +/- 1.5mm lead edge and +/- 1.7 mm side edge.

Am I reading this right that on a given sheet...

Acronis TrueImage also works great in general.

Thanks Veedle. Will plan to go for the advanced finisher then. The specs say that the offset catch tray can stack up 500 sheets of 11x17 (or larger even) 24# weight, but from the pictures I've seen...

Does anyone have a decent schematic or good photograph of the standard xerox offset catch tray for the docucolor 242?

I'm a customer looking at all the literature and online docs and can't find a...
