Table 8-1. — Duties of the key operator 

 Daily 



1. Ensure the Xerox is ON. 



2. Check toner and fuser oil, add more when 

 necessary. 



3. Clean document glass and cover. 



4. Load paper as needed. 



5. Clear misfeeds. 



6. Check supplies, order as needed. 



7. Ensure copier is locked. 



8. For assistance, refer to operator man- 

 ual or call technical representative. 



READY light is lighted, press the start print 

 button. The quantity print selector can be changed 

 after the run begins as long as the number 

 selected is higher than the number indicated on 

 the counter indicator. When fewer copies are 

 needed than selected, press the stop print button 

 and the machine will automatically stop. When 

 photographs are copied, use the halftone screen. 



Copy Reduction 



The Xerox 7000 has a reduction capability 

 for reducing the size of the original. The amount 

 of reduction is dependent upon the selector but- 

 ton pushed. The reduction buttons are numbered 

 1 to 5. The higher the number the more re- 

 duction. When any of the reduction buttons are 

 pushed, the NOT READY indicator will come 

 on while the 7000 is adjusting to the new re- 

 quirement. Once the READY light comes on, 

 press the start print button. 



Maintenance 



Normally major maintenance and repairs 

 are handled through the Xerox technical rep- 

 resentative. Routine maintenance by the Key 

 Operator consists of those duties outlined In 

 Table 8-1. When necessary, refer to the op- 

 erator's manual for detailed information. 



Safety Precautions 



Some of the safety precautions to be aware 

 of in the operation of these machines are as 

 follows: 



1. Avoid touching the drum at all times; 

 the drum is specially treated and finger- 

 prints could cause permanent damage to 

 the drum. 



2. Avoid contact with the fuser, it may be 

 hot and cause severe burns. 



3. Avoid getting fuser oil on your hands; 

 wash with soap and water to remove. 



4. Never mix paper sizes. 



5. When you clear a misfeed, if the paper 

 tears, call the Xerox representative. 



OZALID MACHINES 



The Ozalid machine is used to copy larger 

 types of originals. It has a high intensity light 

 that exposes all areas that are data free. It 

 uses the chemical developing process, usually 

 ammonia. The copy paper is a Diazo type of 

 material. Diazo materials are products that 

 have been coated with a light sensitive dye 

 that develops when exposed to ammonia. 



Starting the Machine 



A short warmup period is required before 

 material can be fed into the machine. Always 

 follow the manufacturer's instructions during 

 machine operation. 



1. Make sure that the developer drain tube 

 is inserted in the residue bottle. Then fill the 

 storage tank with ammonia. If bubbles are en- 

 countered in the feed system due to increased 

 temperature or high altitude, the ammonia should 

 be diluted with cold water. Usually a l/8 to 

 1/4 dilution is sufficient. 



2. After the ammonia storage tank has been 

 filled, turn on the main switch and adjust the 

 ammonia feed to 50-60 drops per minute. At 

 high speeds (30 feet per minute and above) 

 the drops per minute can be increased. On 

 virtually all modern, large-size Ozalid machines, 

 ammonia feed Is automatically increased and 

 decreased to correspond with variations of ma- 

 chine speed. 



3. The machine should be warmed up for 

 approximately 20 minutes or until the operating
