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. The
standardized color measurements use the Inline Spectrophotometer on the Interface Decurler Module. The Inline
Spectrophotometer calibrates color on the press and generates accurate destination profiles for different stocks.
Procedures are automated in that they eliminate the need for an operator to scan target sheets manually using an
external spectrophotometer. The operator initiates the procedure at the print server, but all target sheets are
generated and scanned automatically, and all measurements, calculations, and corrections are performed
automatically.

The Inline Spectrophotometer (ILS) is housed in the Interface Decurler Module. The ILS enables the Automated
Color Quality Suite (ACQS). ACQS automates the process of ensuring stable and accurate color from job to job. This
automation eliminates 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 placed strategically within the paper path, automated processes are quick to perform and require less
downtime for the press. Automated processes include measurements for calibration and destination profiling. Over
time, the ACQS software and the ILS hardware work together to provide accurate and more stable color.
In addition to the Inline Spectrophotometer (ILS), the Interface Decurler Module provides cooling for the press
when the press is running at higher speeds. Also, the Interface Decurler Module provides a decurler to ensure flat
sheets for finishing.

1. The Performance Package must be ordered when the press is ordered. Once the press has been configured
without the Performance Package option, it cannot be upgraded later to include the package.
2. The Performance Package is not available with the Xerox EX-i 280 Print Server. Customers are required to order
the external Xerox EX 280 Print Server.
3. If customers configure the press with the Business Ready (BR) Finisher, the Business Ready Finisher with Booklet
Maker, or the Offset Catch Tray, the Performance Package option is not available for the configuration.
4. The Performance Package requires the Interface Decurler Module with ILS.
5. Finishing options that are enabled when the Interface Decurler Module with ILS is installed include these
finishers and their options:
• Inserter device
• GBC
