Dry ink (Toner)
The DocuColor 12 copier/printer has a four-colour 
development system that uses a combination of 
dry inks (toners) to produce the output colours. 
The dry ink (toner)  colours are magenta, cyan, 
yellow, and black.
Each dry ink (toner) is contained in a dry ink 
cartridge.
When dry ink (toner) is running low in a particular 
cartridge, the Touch Screen displays a message 
indicating that it is time to reorder that toner 
colour. When a cartridge is empty, the Touch 
Screen displays a message indicating that the 
cartridge should be replaced. The DocuColor 12 
will not make copies using that colour until the 
cartridge has been replaced.
Refer to the 
DocuColor 12 System Administration 
Guide 
for information about replacing the dry ink 
cartridges.

White border edges on copies
All copies made on the DocuColor 12 have white 
border edges on four sides of the copy, as 
illustrated in Figure 17. The default No Erase 
feature removes 2 mm from the lead edge image 
and the trail edge image.
If the white border edges result in image loss on 
your copies, select the Copy All option in the 
Reduce/Enlarge feature to minimize the image 
loss. 
Refer to the Edge Erase feature in the “Added 
Features” chapter for more information about 
edge erase.Figure 17: Copy with white border edges

Ground fault protection
The DocuColor 12 copier/printer is equipped with 
a safety feature called a Ground Fault Protector, 
Figure 18. This device removes all electrical 
power to the copier/printer if a fault is detected in 
the power supply to the copier/printer.
If power is interrupted to the copier/printer, 
perform the following:
1Locate the Ground Fault Protector on the back of 
the copier/printer in the lower left corner.
2Flip the switch up if the device has been tripped 
and the switch is in the Off (down) position.
If the device interrupts power to the copier/printer 
again, or if power has not been restored by the 
above procedure, call your Xerox service 
representative.
CAUTION: The Fuser Roll remains in a cammed-
up position if power to the copier/printer is 
interrupted while the copier/printer is in use. If the 
Fuser Roll remains in the cammed-up position for 
a prolonged period of time, the Fuser Roll can be 
damaged and copy quality defects can occur.  To 
prevent any damage, the copier/printer should be 
powered on and a copy/print made as soon as the 
power is restored. The Fuser Roll will not be 
released from the cammed-up position until the 
power is restored, the Power Switch is in the On 
position, and the Start button is pressed again.

activated. Press the Stop button to cancel the 
automatic start feature.
CAUTION: The Fuser Roll remains in a cammed-
up position if power to the copier/printer is 
interrupted while the copier/printer is in use. If the 
Fuser Roll remains in the cammed-up position for 
a prolonged period of time, the Fuser Roll can be 
damaged and copy quality defects can occur.  To 
prevent any damage, the copier/printer should be 
powered on and a copy made as soon as the 
power is restored. The Fuser Roll will not be 
released from the cammed-up position until the
