Xerox Versant 280 User Manual

Note: If the optional Performance Package is purchased, the Interface Decurler Module (IDM) with
Inline Spectrophotometer (ILS) is required, regardless of any additional finishing devices.
Important: The All Stock Rated Speed (ASRS) configuration or the Performance Package can be ordered prior
to initial installation of the system. It is not possible to upgrade an existing press with the ASRS or
Performance Package after the press is ordered and installed.
With the Xerox
®
Versant
®
280 Press with the All Stock Rated Speed (ASRS) performance option, the user
experiences a 25% increase in handling heavyweight stock.
The optional Performance Package is a suite of technologies and tools that enhances the capabilities of the base
press in three areas: operational speed, color management automation, and print shop productivity.
The Performance Package is comprised of the following technologies and tools:
• XXeerrooxx EEXX 228800 PPrriinntt SSeerrvveerr: The Performance Package is not available with other print servers.
• AAllll SSttoocckkss RRaatteedd SSppeeeedd ((AASSRRSS)) software: The All Stocks Rated Speed (ASRS) feature eliminates the slower
speeds created by heavier weight stocks. With ASRS, the speed of the press is governed by the size of the stock
only and not by its weight. This means that all stock weights up to 400 g/m
2
for a given sheet size runs at the
rated speed or the top speed for that stock size.
• AAuuttoommaatteedd CCoolloorr QQuuaalliittyy SSyysstteemm ((AACCQQSS)) software: The Automated Color Quality System (ACQS) is an
advanced color management technology that transfers the complex decisions about color maintenance from
operators to an automated system. ACQS automates the printing and measuring of calibration charts and then
calculates and makes precise adjustments to color tables based on the results.
Note: The ACQS suite is available only with the external Xerox

.
– ACQS takes the variability out of the color equation by incorporating standardized color measurements
using the Inline Spectrophotometer to calibrate color on the press as well as generating accurate
destination profiles for different stocks.
– Procedures are automated in that they eliminate the need for an operator to manually scan target sheets
using an external spectrophotometer. The operator must initiate the procedure at the print server, but all
target sheets are then generated and scanned automatically and all measurements, calculations, and
corrections are performed automatically.
• IInnlliinnee SSppeeccttrroopphhoottoommeetteerr ((IILLSS)) - included with the IDM with ILS:
– The Inline Spectrophotometer (ILS) is housed in the Interface Decurler Module. The ILS enables the
Automated Color Quality Suite, which automates the process of ensuring stable and accurate color from job
to job, by eliminating the need for operators to use a hand-held spectrophotometer during print server
calibration. It also facilitates the creation of custom destination profiles for each stock on which the press
prints.
– With the ILS is strategically placed within the paper path, automated processes like measurements for
calibration and destination profiling are quick to perform and require less down-time for the press. Working
together, the ACQS software and the ILS hardware gives accurate color faster and provides more stable
color over time.
– Besides the Inline Spectrophotometer (ILS), the Interface Decurler Module contains additional cooling to
support the higher speeds of the press when running at higher speeds and a decurler component to ensure
flat sheets for finishing.
