Fusing
The following outlines tips for achieving optimum toner fusing on DocuCards with a 4135, 4635, 4635MX, 6135, DP96, DP180, 6180, 6100 or a Docutech 135.

Fuser Lubricant:
Use fuser AGENT, part #8R2955. Do not use fuser SHIELD, part #8R4077.

Variable Data Position:
Because of the difference in thickness between the carrier sheet and the card, quality imaging is not possible around the edges of the card or window.  Do not image on the document or cards within ¼" of the edge of the card.

Fuser Temperature:
Since we will be fusing on the card and the document, have the Xerox service representative set the fusing temperature at the high end of the nominal temperature range.

Fuser Contact Arc:
Set at specified width uniform across the roll length.

Duplex Imaging:
Always image the front side of the DocuCard first, then the back side.  Note- When imaging WindoWell DocuCards,  change the machine speed from pitch 7 to pitch 5.   This will slow the machine down and allow more space between documents in the duplex inverter.  If you run WindoWell DocuCards at pitch 7, the edge of the document catches on the edge of the window when two sheets pass each other in the duplex inverter.
