Spots
Description - “Barcode” Marks (or Spots): An image defect that has the appearance of a small
barcode symbol that is read by a barcode scanner. The marks usually appear in a group of
four, and each mark is a different primary color arranged in the sequence -- yellow, magenta,
cyan, and black.
Description - A
ll
Other Spots: Generally circular in shape, these defects can be caused by an
absence of toner in a desired area, or a deposit of toner in an undesired area.
Solid Area Reproduction
Description - The inability to adequately reproduce a high-density solid area.
Specification - Using
Test Pattern 82E8220, the copier should reproduce the 1.0K blocks with
minimal mottle or graininess.
Text / Image Separation Errors
Description - (Mosaic): An image defect that can affect fine line ladders or low screen half-
tones. It causes closely spaced lines, low frequency halftones, and certain texts to have a
blotchy app
earance.
Description - Vac
ant Characters: An image defect that results when the center of a character
is filled-in with a (200R) halftone screen while its outer border is made up of a (600L) text
screen. (Note: This level of detail is best observed with an eye loop.)
Description - S
mall Dark
Dots on Text: An image defect that causes a localized area of a char-
acter in a text to look like it contains small dark dots.
(Note: This level of detail is best observed
with an eye loop.)
Toner Starvation
Description - This defect occurs at the transition point between a high density area and a low
density area of the same color. A localized area of the mag brush becomes “starved” for toner
due to development fringe field effects. Starvation tends to worsen at low triboelectric levels
(high toner concentration).
Unfused Copy
Description - The toner on the copy wipes off easily when moderate pressure is applied.
Wrinkled Copy
Description - Creasing or folds on the copy/print in the lead to trail edge direction or closely
spaced ‘waves’ in the front to rear direction.

This RAP is used when Skew, Registration, or Magnification are out of spec.
Initial Actions
NOTE: (W/Tag P39): Misuse of the Expanded Imageable Area feature will cause registration
problems when printing on oversize paper (12 x 18 inch / SR-A3). This feature is available for
DC12 machines only, and requires specific IOT and DFE software and hardware levels. Refer
to GP 2 Increased Imageable Area Setup for details.
Activating this feature on a machine not listed in GP2 will result in an image shift of 0.5 inch (12
mm
) or mo
re toward the lead edge of the print when printing on oversize paper. On 12 x 18
inch paper, part of the interimage patch may be visible in the lower left corner of the print.
If this defect is observed, check t
hat NVM
locations 720-360 and 720-361 = 0.
This feature can be activated by the customer, using the TOOLS mode. If this has occurred,
inform
the customer of the limitations and requirements of this feature.
NOTE: For DCCS50: Check that NVM locations 720-360 and 720-361 = 0.
