1Introduction
This document provides information for operating the Xerox Production
Stacker (XPS).
The XPS is an interface to the Xerox Nuvera system. It will enable inline finishing by receiving
sheets from the host printer and sending these sheets into a stacker or other finishing device.
The information in this document is based on the most current information available at the
time of editing.

Safety Information
This document is intended to be used exclusively by qualified personnel.
Warning Pictograms
Notice and follow the description of the following pictograms.
Warning: Hot
This label is located near the top tray motor (inside the machine). It warns you of the high
burning risk if you touch the motor.
Warning: Hazardous moving parts. Keep fingers and other body parts away.
This label is located on the front unload door. It warns you that the unload shutter doors move
during the stack ejection.

Moving Parts during Stack Unloading
The XPS automatically unloads stacks of paper when the stacker reaches a full state or condition
specified by the operator. Keep the area in front of the stacker clear to allow for the unload
operation. Do not place hands or objects on or near the shutter doors when the stacker is in
operation. Observe the closed and open positions as shown below to insure enough space is
provided.
An attention light is provided on the top rear of the stacker. The light flashes as the Stacker Tray
goes in and out of the Ready-to-Unload position. The light remains on steady while the Stacker
Tray is in the unload position.
Caution: Be careful moving around the stacker. The stack may be ejected at a low height
waiting for an operator to remove the output.

Methods to Stop the Motion of the Stacker
Eject
•Press the Stacker Unload button located on the Stacker Display panel to stop the ejection
operation. To restart, press the button again.
•When the Stacker Tray is ejecting and the Front Obstruction Bumper (shown below) comes
into contact with an obstruction located in front of the ejector module, the ejection
operation stops immediately. To restart, follow the instructions on the Xerox Nuvera Control
Console.
Retract
When the Stacker Tray is retracting and the Rear Obstruction Bumper (located at the back of
the Stacker Tray) comes into contact with an obstruction located in rear of the Stacker Tray, the
retraction operation stops immediately. To restart, follow the instructions on the Xerox Nuvera
Control Console.

For detailed information on paper media and optional stacker settings, refer to the Xerox
Nuvera User Guide and Training Aid CD.
Unload Operation
The XPS can automatically unload a finished stack from the stacker and present it to the
operator in front of the stacker. Once the finished stack is ejected, the Stacker Compiler can
continue stacking while still waiting for the operator to pick up the output. This is known as
“Unload While Run.”
When Xerox Nuvera needs to be unloaded, the attention light begins to flash and the shutter
doors open. Once open, the Stacker Tray moves out in front of the stacker. The Stacker Tray
raises or lowers to a height that can be preset at the Xerox Nuvera Control Console. The
attention light remains on continuously to signify that a stack is ready for pickup.
Caution: Stay clear of the Stacker Tray when it is in motion.

Retracting the Stacker
Once the stacker has been unloaded, press the Stacker Unload button to retract the stacker.
Caution: Stay clear of the Stacker Tray when it is in motion.
If the Stacker Tray is full, the next stack is immediately picked up and ejected, repeating the
process.
Note
You can press the Stacker Unload button at any time to eject the stack (see Display Description).
Optional settings for the Stacker Unload operation are available through the Xerox Nuvera
Control Console. Refer to the Xerox Nuvera User Guide and Training Aid CD for more
information on setting the following:
•Auto or Manual Eject
•Stacker Limits
•Auto Switch
•Policy Unload

Ready to Unload Indicator
When this indicator is flashing, the device is in a state where printed sheets can be removed
from the stacker.
Please Wait Indicator
When this indicator is on, the stacker is moving to the ready position. The indicator flashes
when the Stacker Tray is paused.
Stacker Unload Button
Eject
Press the Stacker Unload button to eject the stack from the stacker tray. If the stacker is in use
and is part of a stacker group combination, the printed pages begin stacking in another stacker.
If the stacker is not in use, there is no effect on printing operations.
If there is only one stacker in a stacker group, printing pauses until the stack is ejected. Printing
restarts when the stacker is clear. Refer to the Xerox Nuvera User Guide and Training Aid CD for
Stacker Tray limits setup.

Stop Motion
The Stacker Unload button also operates a Pause function. Press the Stacker Unload button to
stop all motion during the ejection or retraction process. The Please Wait indicator flashes while
the Stacker Tray is paused.
Restart Motion
To restart motion, press the Stacker Unload button again.
In Use Indicator
When this indicator is on, the stacker is selected to receive the next printed sheet.
Attention Light
When the Attention light glows you can remove printed sheets. This gives a 360-degree view
that the stacker is ready to unload.
When the Attention light flashes, the external elevator is in motion (up/down or in/out). This
gives a 360-degree view that the Stacker Tray is in motion.

illuminated, there is a problem in this area.
When the top tray area of the display is highlighted, check the top tray area to clear the paper
jam.

When the paper path area of the display is highlighted, open the top cover and front door to
check the areas 1 to 4 and clear the paper jam.
When the Stacker door window area of the display is highlighted, open the Stacker door to
check the area 6 and clear the paper jam.
Jam Clearance and Job Recovery
In case of a jam, the operator needs to clear the paper path from any jammed or damaged
sheet.
Note
Always perform a jam clearance by first clearing sheets in devices located to the right of the
finishing line. Then progressively clear the paper path moving towards the printer.

Clearing Stray Sheets
Warning: Do Not attempt to clear stray sheets around or behind the Stacker Tray when it
is in motion!
In case stray sheets drop behind the Stacker Tray use the following process to clear the area.
2. Pause the Xerox Nuvera printer at the Control Console.
3. If the Stacker Tray is out and full, unload the stack.
4. If the Stacker Tray is raised and better access is needed, press the Stacker Unload button to
start lowering the Stacker Tray.
5. Press the Stacker Unload button again when it reaches the low position to stop the
retraction. If the Stacker Tray is already at the low position, proceed to the next step.
6. Open the top cover of the stacker.
