Copies have black borders. Large black bor-
ders appear on the copies with documents 
smaller than the copy paper size.No shift is selected. Select the Auto Shift fea-
ture to eliminate the black borders.
Also, select the Auto Shift feature to eliminate 
the black borders for copier/printers equipped 
with the Duplex Automatic Document Feeder 
(DADF).
Copies made from a newspaper, a map, or a 
photograph have background when Original 
Type is defined as Graphics & Maps or Photo.The DocuColor 12 copier/printer detects low 
densities of colour and reproduces them. This 
is especially true with the Graphics & Maps 
and Photo options. The background can be 
reduced or eliminated by adjusting the 
Lighten/Darken feature toward lighten.
Newspaper show-through can be reduced or 
eliminated by backing the document with a 
black sheet of paper.
Use the Background Suppression option in 
the Preset Colour Balance feature in the 
Image Quality tab.
The image density of the copy seems lighter 
toward the trail edge.This defect is noticeable only when the input 
document has large solid areas. To reduce or 
eliminate this defect, select the Photo option 
in the Original Type feature of the Image Qual-
ity tab.
It is difficult to perform secondary operations 
on the copies, such as writing on them or 
using adhesives.This problem is caused by the oil used in the 
fusing process. The problem can be reduced 
or eliminated by setting the copies aside for 
one or two hours before performing a second-
ary operation on them. Rubbing the copy sur-
face with a soft, clean cloth or eraser may also 
help.

Original Type selection and output
When you use the Original Type options of Photo 
& Text or Text, the copier/printer attempts to 
discriminate between text and photo or picture 
areas within the original. It then applies the 
appropriate image processing to each area. Text 
is reproduced at 600 lines per inch while photos 
are reproduced at 200 lines or dots per inch. 
Occasionally, a defect may occur where an area is 
classified incorrectly and text is treated as photo 
or vice versa.
To avoid this type of image quality defect for a 
given original, select the Original Type options of 
either Photo or Graphics and Maps. In these 
modes, uniform image processing is applied to the 
entire page.
NOTE:The resulting output may have a different 
appearance in these modes. Some colour 
adjustments may be required.
If your original documents consist mostly of text or 
mostly of photos, the System Administrator can 
adjust the System Image Quality Image 
Recognition settings. New default levels can be 
set for Text & Photo Recognition and/or Text & 
Photo Balance functions. The System 
Administrator can select Text or Photo for Photo & 
Text and Text modes.
Refer to the “Tools Mode, System Image Quality” 
section in the 
System Administrator Guide for 
more information.
