280 Press with Performance Package (PP) configuration performance (optional)
PRESS WITH BASIC PRINT ENGINE CONFIGURATION PERFORMANCE
The press is a full color or black and white, automatic 2-sided copier and printer that operates at a speed of 80
prints per minute when printing on 8.5 x 11 in. or A4 paper. The press uses CMYK to create full color.
PRESS WITH OPTIONAL ALL STOCK RATED SPEED (ASRS) CONFIGURATION PERFORMANCE
The All Stock Rated Speed (ASRS) performance option is ordered before the initial installation of the system. It is
not possible to upgrade an existing press with the All Stock Rated Speed (ASRS) performance after the system is
ordered and installed.
The All Stocks Rated Speed (ASRS) feature eliminates the slower speeds created by heavier weight stocks. With
ASRS, only the size of the stock, and not its weight, governs the speed of the press. Therefore, all stock weights up to
400 g/m
2
for a given sheet size run at the rated speed, that is the top speed, for that stock size.
With the Xerox
®
Versant
®
280 Press with All Stock Rated Speed (ASRS) performance option, the user experiences a
25% increase in handling heavyweight stock.
Note: If you purchase the optional All Stocks Rated Speed (ASRS) package, the Interface Decurler Module for
All Stocks Rated Speed (ASRS) is required, regardless of any additional finishing devices.
PRESS WITH OPTIONAL PERFORMANCE PACKAGE
Important: The Performance Package is ordered prior to initial installation of the system. It is not possible to
upgrade an existing press with the Performance Package after the press is ordered and installed.
