Xerox Production Media Cart The Production Media Cart is an optional unit that can interface with certain Xerox stackers to assist with transporting printed media from the printer stacker to work tables, pallets, or nearline/offline finishing. The Production Media Cart (Cart) uses a battery powered vertical elevation system to set the media table height and a hand crank to transfer the paper stack from the Cart.
Parts Overview Parts Overview 1. Hands-Off Stack Transfer (HOST): Activated with the stack transport handle to transfer the paper stack onto a work table. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 2 Paper table: Bears the paper stack during transport. Tines dock with the stacker for paper stack pickup. Alignment tine: Single yellow tine helps position the Cart for docking with the XPS Stacker. Paper stack clamp: Keeps the paper stack secure during transport.
Parts Overview 11. Battery meter: Shows the voltage of the battery. 12. Circuit breaker: If current exceeds 15 amps , circuit breaker will trip and require a reset by operator. 13. Charging port: Allows for onboard battery charging.
