Print Volume Range
This product family is designed for an average monthly print volume (AMPV):
EPS Maximum Duty Cycle* AMPV Conditions
or
Xerox 4112/4127 EPS 600,000 pages per month 80,000 - 350,000
8.5 in x 11 in/A4
pages per month
* Maximum Duty Cycle refers to the maximum monthly print volume supported under standard vendor supplied service
(single shift coverage) and defines the upper end of the expected print volume for the machine. This volume is not
sustainable month over month but can be achieved occasionally for peak printing times.
Customers who consistently run volumes above the stated Average Monthly Print Volume
(AMPV) should expect a significant change in machine reliability or performance. Customers
should consider higher volume machines or multiple machines if average monthly volume
approaches the maximum duty cycle on a consistent basis.
The number of prints between service calls is dependant upon the following factors:
• Monthly output volume
• Throughput materials (paper)
• Environment (heat, humidity and ventilation)
• High toner density and area coverage
• Image quality requirements
• Operator training

NOTE 1: Surge protection is strongly recommended for network controller installations and is the
responsibility of the customer.
NOTE 2: The power source for the network controller must be continuous and not interrupted by
an onsite power failure.
Surge Protection
Xerox recommends protecting the FreeFlow
®
Print Server from surges or spikes in electrical
power that can damage the server and result in extended downtime. In areas that tend to
experience brownouts or blackouts with more frequency, installation of an Uninterruptible Power
Supply (UPS) is suggested. This protection is the responsibility of the customer.
Product Recycling and Disposal
Xerox operates a worldwide equipment take back and reuse/recycle program. Contact your Xerox
sales representative (1-800-ASK-XEROX) to determine whether this Xerox product is part of the
program. For more information about Xerox environmental programs, visit
www.xerox.com/environment
.
Note: This product meets the RoHS standards (Removal of Hazardous Substances) required for
products being installed in the European Union.
Space Requirements
To enable a Xerox Service Representative to safely repair the system, the work area must
measure at least 36 inches (91.44 cm) square around the server.
The work surface of the network controller must not infringe on the space requirements by the
print engine and any attached accessories unless the work surface is a table that has wheels and
can easily be moved.
There must be a minimum of 78 inches (198.12 cm) clearance from the floor to the nearest
overhead obstructions.
All standard Xerox space requirements apply to this installation including overhead, shared, aisle
or hallway, and operator space. The customer is responsible to provide appropriate floor spacing
and placement surface.
Storage and future availability of software that ships with the color server is a customer
responsibility. Xerox personnel do not carry replacement materials.
Note: Power Cords for the DFE are approximately 7.5 feet (2.3 meters). The outbound video
cable to the copier/printer is 16.4 feet (5 meters).
Running Antivirus Software
To date, viruses in the Unix environment have not been an issue and are not considered a threat
to system integrity at this time. Mail has been disabled on the platform as an additional
8
precaution. Customers may purchase McAfee for Unix if desired. Customer will be responsible for
reloading McAfee and keeping software up to date.
Security
Xerox understands the importance of maintaining a secure network environment and
recommends that customers change from the default passwords upon completion of system
installation. We have also instituted the use of security scripts that are run at system installation
and close the well-known loopholes in the operating system. Additionally we work closely with
Sun Microsystems to maintain the most current level of security patches. Security upgrades will
be made available as they are released by Sun. At install, the security level is set to “Low”.
Connectivity features such as ftp and telnet are disconnected. “Medium” security should be
selected to enable this connectivity if desired. Refer to www.xerox.com/security
for Xerox
statement regarding anti-virus software from production systems.
Non-standard Paper Size Support
This system system supports non-standard paper sizes. However, due to rounding and unitconversions that occur in the client applications, print server, and printer, some mismatch may
occur between the paper size entered at the application, and the paper size that must be entered
at the printer. The operator may need
to adjust the entered paper dimensions by up to 0.1 in (2.5
mm) in order for the printer to detect that the requested paper size has been loaded. In addition,
the printer interprets some paper sizes included in the PPD as non-standard sizes.
Customer Service and Support
Periodically, Xerox will make available bug fixes and other software releases. Some of these bug
fixes and upgrades are designed to be customer installable.
Software Replacement
If lost, or misplaced, replacement software and documentation is available to be purchased. For
the United States you can access through Software Services web site http://www.xdss.com
. If
you reside outside the United States, kindly work with your local Xerox Supplies Specialist. Xerox
personnel may not be able to provide services unless these materials are available.
File Creation
There are several factors that effect the creation of a proper output file. These variations can
have a negative impact on processing time. It is always best to create a file with flattened images.
Images that are placed at there appropriate angle, size and screening prior to being implemented
in a design program. Always refer to a design guide for advice. Xerox offers two literatures as
guidelines to help you and your customers. They are The Art & Science of Digital Printing, The Parsons Guide to Getting it Right, and The Xerox Job Preparation Guide for Designers.
These items are part of the Xerox Profit Accelerator Program.
PDF (Portable Document File) are a standard in today’s industry. The same variations that can
slow your production for a native file apply to PDFs as well. It is always best to optimize the PDF
by flattening any layers. Always read the full documentation and understand how PDFs affect
color paths with the print engine. Adobe has several literatures available on PDF creation such as
How to Create the Perfect PDF, and Designer's Guide to Transparency for Print Output.
These documents are downloadable from Adobe’s web site at

Variable Information
If a customer is successfully running a Xerox VIPP (Variable data Intelligent PostScript Printware)
workflow, it will work similarly across the Xerox production printer line when using the Xerox
FreeFlow
applications on the Xerox FreeFlow
®
Print Server. The same Xerox infrastructure in place today will support existing
®
Print Server version 6.0.
Variable information is a very complex subject. Many variables exists that impact a file. File
creation, emitters, PostScript code, type of server, are just a few of the things that will affect
Variable Code. It is always in the best interest to test a file prior to gain an understanding of any
possible issues in the workflow. A Xerox Analyst can help in the process and there is always
opportunity for a customer to correct and develop an efficient workflow to gain the best
throughput.

IPDS
Intelligent Printer Data Stream (IPDS) is IBM’s Systems Application Architecture host-to-printer
data stream for Advanced Function Presentation subsystems. It provides an attachmentindependent interface for controlling and managing all-points-addressable (APA) printers that
allow the presentation of pages containing an unlimited mixture of different data types, including
text, image, graphics, bar code, and object container. It is used by a variety of print servers that
drive all-points-addressable (APA) page printers. Generally these printers are at the medium to
high end of the print speed and volume spectrum.

Product Limitations
•For ordered stock (such multi-part forms), this EPS family is capable of purging unused
sheets, but does not automatically recover from jams with ordered stock. The system will
automatically clear its own paper path as much as possible, but the operator will need to
manually reset the ordered stock to the correct plex. For tab media, this EPS family is
capable of Tab Recovery in the event of a jam.
•Custom media with cut-outs (windows) might not work with this system depending on the
location of the cut-outs because they may interfere with sensors in the machine’s paper path.
Please check custom media with this product to ensure compatibility before committing to the
application. This system cannot feed media with 6” x 1” die cut holes in the center of the
page.
•This product is not DFA compatible and is not available to connect online with third party
vendor finishing devices.
•Saved print jobs from a previous Xerox copier/printer, such as the Xerox 4110, 4590 or 4595,
cannot be directly moved to the 4112 EPS or 4127 EPS. However, print jobs may be
exported as image files and then resubmitted.
•This FreeFlow PrintServer for this Copier/Printer will be IPv6 compatible in 2008 as a
software upgrade.
User Interface
The User Interface (UI) is a Xerox branded application on an embedded controller. The display is
mounted on the Copier/Printer and utilizes a combination touch-screen and keypad on the bezel.
The Operating System on the embedded controller is an RTOS (Real Time Operating System)
unrelated to popular desktop systems and cannot run typical off-the-shelf customer applications.
The particulars of the RTOS can be provided to Xerox partners who develop customized
applications.
Media Selection
Every effort has been made to ensure that this system supports a broad range of media. Keep in
mind, however, that using only Xerox-recommended media maximizes reliability and paperhandling performance.
Certain types of Xerox supplied specialty media have been approved to run in this system within
certain guidelines.
• Tabs
• Preprinted offset
• Transparencies
• Carbonless*
• Coated paper
* This system can run Xerox-brand collated carbonless stock, not to be confused with NCR-brand
carbonless or non-collated carbonless which is not recommended because of reduced print
quality results and negative impact to print reliability. When using carbonless stock,
- reliability may decrease
- special technical representative cleaning procedures are required (not covered by FSMA).
Although this system is approved to run Xerox-brand collated carbonless stock applications, it is
12
not recommended to do so extensively or exclusively. For best results, run Xerox-brand collated
carbonless stock, fed from the optional Oversized High Capacity Feeder (OHCF).
Optimum Paper Weight per Type
Paper type Paper weight (gsm)
Thin paper 52 - 63
Plain paper 64 - 105
Heavyweight paper1 106 -216
Heavyweight paper 2 217 - 253
Recycled paper 64 - 105
Used paper 64 - 105
Label paper1 105 - 176
Holed paper 64 - 105
Coated Paper
This system is qualified to run certain types of coated paper within certain guidelines. In
approved environmental conditions (humidity and temperature) and with the straightest paper
path (Tray 6 of the Oversized High Capacity Feeder, one-sided only, with output to the top tray or
stacker), this system can reliably run coated paper within the range of 105 gsm to 253 gsm with
no stapling, punching or folding.
Please note: the paper path: OHCF, tray 6 to the top output tray is the preferred (most reliable)
method of printing on coated stock. However, coated stock can also be fed from other paper
trays.
•It is not recommended to run 11x17 (A3) coated stock to the finisher stacker to avoid stacking
issues. Please select the top tray as the output tray.
• It is not recommended to run coated (pre-printed) stock from the Post Process Inserter Tray.
• Do not run in environment over 80 Degrees Fahrenheit and over 80% humidity or under 15%
humidity – Image Quality degradation may occur with higher background level and loss of
fine line definition.
•Within these guidelines (above) the following media have been successfully tested.
○ Digital Color Elite Silk Paper, 80 lb / 120gsm, 11x17
○ Digital Color Elite Silk Paper, 100 lb / 140 gsm, 8.5x11
○ Digital Color Elite Gloss, 80 lb / 120 gsm, 11x17 and 8.5x11
○ Digital Color Elite Gloss, 100 lb / 140 gsm, 11x17 and 8.5x11
○ Digital Color Select Gloss, 80 lb / 120 gsm text and 80lb/ 210gsm cover 11x17
○ Digital Color Elite Silk Paper, 100 lb / 140 gsm, 11x17
○ Digital Color Elite Silk Cover, 80 lb / 210 gsm, 8.5x11
Specialty Paper
The manufacturer, storage and quality of specialty paper will affect performance. For example,
although this class of copier/printer can run preprinted offset media for overprint applications, the
amount of coverage of the preprinted information will affect the reliability for the media to run
though the paper path. Long runs with substandard input will result in increased jams and other
unexpected results.
For further information and recommendations regarding media selection and handling, refer to
your Xerox Supplies Specialist.

•Typically, heavy weight papers exhibit increased variability of formation and surface
smoothness, which may result in degraded image quality.
•Preprinted “shells” from offset printers negatively impacts reliability and image quality
based on coverage and other factors.
•Manufacturers of coated stock do not recommend use of their media when the ambient
relative humidity exceeds 60%.
•All paper stretches to a certain extent during printing. The amount of stretch is
dependent on paper type and environmental conditions. Stretch is most noticeable on
coated stocks. This stretch can affect front-to-back image registration.
•Image registration, image quality, and machine reliability can be adversely affected when
custom-cut paper is inaccurately cut, is of poor quality, or loose paper fibers are present
on the cut edges.
•Image registration, image quality, jam frequency and machine reliability can be adversely
affected when punched or drilled paper is of poor quality and/or loose hole plugs are
present in the ream.
Image Size, Print Area and Registration
The maximum image area this family of EPS can create is 12 in. x 18.9 in. (305 mm x 480 mm).
The standard area that can be printed leaves a margin of 4.1 mm on all four edges of the paper
(for 11” x 17”, SRA3, 320 mm wide). The actual printing area may vary depending on the printer
(plotter) control language.
±0.76mm at 2σ (±1mm at 3σ) lead registration
±0.72mm at 2σ (±1mm at 3σ) side registration
Production Speeds
The rated speed for the Xerox 4112EPS and Xerox 4127EPS are 110 and 125 pages per
minute, respectively. These speeds are achievable in optimum conditions using Letter/A4 sized
media, long edge feed, and discounting startup delays like warm-up time and time to clear the
paper path. Use of finishing features, multiple paper trays and other factors affect the productivity
of all printing devices to some degree.
The output speed of a print job is affected by:
•Use of finishers and finishing features (e.g., stapling, hole punch, folding, and Booklet Maker
will slow down print speed)
• Job length
• Using the Bypass Tray or High Capacity Feeder
• Single-sided versus two-sided job
• The time it takes to RIP a job based on the type of PDL
• Other factors outside the control of the product
Print Speed
Print per Minute (PPM) of the print engine using a common configuration is defined as below.
Timing of throughput is measured with one original by the time taken after the trail edge of the 1st
sheet is fed until the trail edge of the 11th sheet is output to the top tray. Throughput is measured
using the system trays (1,2,3,4) and the High Capacity Feeder (HCF) Option (6,7) with output to
the top tray.

Automatic Tray Switching (Load-While-Run)
The paper trays support Load-While-Run operation. If a tray in operation runs out of stock, and
another tray with the same programmed stock is available and loaded, the system will
automatically switch to the new tray when the first runs out. The operator may then open the
empty tray and reload it without the system stopping.
Image Quality
• Image quality perception is subjective and will be affected by ambient lighting conditions.
• Like other reproduction processes, there will be some variation of output quality over
time. For example: long runs, with high area coverage. Factors contributing to this can
include frequency of service and xerographic components.
•Image quality is strongly influenced by paper surface structure, texture, and color. To
ensure that your customers are optimally satisfied, key applications should be printed
using representative paper and reviewed by the customer.
•The surface texture of some uncoated papers may cause increased graininess in
halftone areas printed with toner. This effect may be minimized by using smooth or
coated papers (refer to the Recommended Materials List).
•Sheets of a job may exhibit slight gloss differential and oil streaks from page to page.
Operational mode will have an impact on the level of gloss differential.
•Prints may exhibit random white spots caused by paper dust, stray developer beads, or
other miscellaneous particles. You can reduce the occurrence of white spots by using
Xerox approved paper. If customers are cutting their own paper, ensure that cut edges
are dust free, and keep the machine in a clean and dust/dirt reduced environment.
Failure to do this will result in increased frequency of white spots.
•As with any printing process, artifacts will occur. These include streaks, mottle, banding,
spots, etc. For most jobs and clients, the expected level of artifacts is within the normal
operational and component quality ranges of the system and will not affect the
acceptability of the job. Maintenance procedures are available to mitigate these artifacts.
Random artifacts will occur. Artifact-sensitive jobs should be monitored. Using products
on the recommended by your Xerox Supplies Specialist and maintaining your
environment will also help to minimize the occurrence of these artifacts.
•Environmental factors such as very high or very low humidity effects image quality. See
the Environmental Requirements section of this document for guidelines.
Billing meters and accounting
The product provides accurate billing of all prints through the electronic billing meter within the
printer system. There is no mechanical meter on the printer system. Meters can be accessed and
read from the user interface on the printer.
15
Depending on the application, some blank pages used for duplex printing may be counted for
metering purposes. Paper run through the post process inserter will not increment the billing
meter.
The internal accounting system is able to track large sized media (11x17/A3) separately from
Letter/A4 sized media.

Integration with Color (Insertion of Color Pages)
Output from color xerographic printers should not be run through the printing path (fuser) of this
family of Copier/Printers. However, the prints can be used with the Post Process Inserter which
bypasses the fuser.
If you plan to run prints through this family of Copier/Printers from other printing equipment, it is
highly recommended you test the application before committing to the job. Many factors
(operating temperature of the fuser, fuser oils, fix-reaction of toner/inks) impact the success of
running these types of “overprint” applications.

Printer System Power Saver Mode
The copier/printer system is installed with a power saver feature that will automatically shut off the
machine power if no print data is received for a specified period. When the printers are in power
saver mode, power to the control panel and fuser unit is reduced to save energy. The display will
turn off but the Power Saver button on the control panel will be lit indicating the machine is in
Power Saver mode.
The Power Saver feature includes two modes:
•Low Power mode: Power consumption is reduced to approximately 120 watts. It will take
about 45 seconds to warm up the printers when exiting Low Power mode.
•Sleep mode: Power consumption is reduced approximately 13 watts. It will take about 5
minutes to warm up the printers when exiting Sleep mode.
The intervals for Low Power mode and Sleep mode can be set and specified in 1 minute
increments, from 1 to 240 minutes.
