Originals on which glue or adhesive tape has been applied.

Precautions When Handling Originals


Observe the following precautions when handling originals:
The scanning area may become soiled if originals to which glue, adhesive tape, or correction
fluids have been applied are placed in the scanner. Stick or spray glues may soil the scanning area,
causing black lines to appear on copies.
Use caution with originals that have been folded, wrinkled, torn, or had holes punched in them.
These may result in document jams and tearing.
When rolled originals are used, ensure that the diameter of the roll is 1.6"
(40 mm) or larger. Rolls with a diameter of less than 1.6" must be flattened on the lead edge to
scan correctly.
When scanning thick originals, support them lightly with your hands while they scan.

Product Overview

Storing Media
The optimum environment in which to store paper media is a humidity of 40 to 45%. Keep the
following in mind when storing paper media:
Moisture is not good for media. For storage, wrap the media in wrapping paper and store it in a
comparatively dry place. Tracing paper, especially, should be put in a plastic or moisture-proof bag
that contains desiccant.
When the machine is not used for a long period of time, remove the media and store it
appropriately.

Step 3 - Scanning the Original


Follow the procedure below to scan the original.
Notes

1.

A document jam may occur if you pull or press down too hard on an original while it
scans.
To prevent document jams when copying originals that contain holes, orient the original
so that the holes feed in last.

Orient the original face down, with one edge aligned with the original guide, and then evenly
insert the lead edge into the scanner. When the scanner detects the original, it will feed it a short
distance and stop briefly, then complete the scan automatically.




Notes

2.

Hold the original down flat with two hands (one on either side of the arrow shown in the
graphic) while it feeds into the starting position. Doing this helps prevent wrinkles that
may result in dark areas on the copy. The document may jam if you release it before it
stops feeding.
If the document does not feed automatically, the Scan Start mode may be set to
[Manual Start]. In this case, press the <Start> button. For more information, refer to the
section on Scan Start.
The original guide can be moved to the right to scan an oversized original, or an original
with hanging holes.
If a problem occurs during scanning, an error message will appear on the touch screen.
Solve the problem as instructed in the message.

If the scanner is equipped with front return guides, the original will exit toward the front of the
machine. You may wish to guide the lead edge of the original as it travels toward you.

Job accounting tracks copy, scan, and print media usage. Usage is expressed as the area and length of
the media scanned or used. The Account Management Tool (AMT), or another external accounting
tool, is used to assign a User ID, Account ID, and Printer ID. It then collects and tallies the stored data
from the networked devices. For the Xerox 6204 Wide Format Solution with FreeFlow Accxes Print

Problem Solving

When you finish cleaning a paper jam, printing automatically resumes from the state before the paper
jam occurred.
WARNINGS:
When removing jammed paper, make sure that no pieces of torn paper are left in the
machine. A piece of paper remaining in the machine potentially could cause a fire.
If a sheet of paper is wrapped around the heat roller, or the jammed paper is difficult or
impossible to see, do not try to remove it yourself. Doing so may cause injuries or burns.
Switch off the machine immediately and contact your Xerox Customer Support Center.
Notes

Always check the touch screen message to identify the location of a paper jam before
attempting to remedy the problem. Opening a media tray before knowing the paper jam
location may tear the paper, leaving pieces inside the machine. This condition may
cause machine malfunctions.
If a piece of jammed paper remains inside the machine, the paper jam message will not
disappear from the touch screen.
Paper jams can be cleared with the machine still on. When the power is turned off, all
information stored to the machine's memory will be erased.

CAUTION: Do not touch the components inside the machine. Doing so can cause print defects.
