Optional Performance Package
Important
The Performance Package must be ordered prior to initial installation of the system. It
is not possible to upgrade an existing press with the Performance Package after the
system has been ordered and installed.
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:
• All Stocks Rated Speed (ASRS) software
• Automated Color Quality System (ACQS) software
• Inline Spectrophotometer (ILS) - which is included with the InterfaceCooling Module
• Xerox EX 80 Print Server
User Guide
2-5Xerox®Versant®180 Press
Getting Started
All Stocks Rated Speed (ASRS)
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 350 gsm for a
given sheet size will run at the rated speed (the top speed) for that stock size.
Automated Color Quality System (ACQS)
The Automated Color Quality System (ACQS) is an advanced color management
technology that transfersthe complex decisions about color maintenance fromoperators
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 EX 80 Print Server Powered by
Fiery; it is not available with the Xerox EX-i 80 Print Server Powered by Fiery.
ACQS takes the variability out of the color equation by incorporating standardized color
measurements using the Inline Spectrophotometer (on the Interface Cooling Module)
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.
Inline Spectrophotometer (ILS)
The Inline Spectrophotometer (ILS) is housed in the Interface Cooling 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 forcalibration and destination profiling are quick to perform and require
less down-time for the press. Workingtogether, 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 Cooling Module contains
additional cooling to support the higher speeds of the press when running at higher
speeds, and a Decurler to ensure flat sheets for finishing.
Configuration Information Regarding the Performance Package
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 at a later time to include the package.
Xerox®Versant®180 Press2-6
User Guide
Getting Started
2. The Performance Package is not available with the Xerox EX-i 80 Print Server.
Customers must order the external Xerox EX 80 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, then the Performance
Package option is not available for the configuration.
4. When the Performance Package is ordered, the Interface Cooling Module must be
used. The package cannot be used with the Interface Module.
5. Finishing options enabled by the Interface Cooling Module include these finishers
and their options:
• High Capacity Stacker (HCS)
• Standard Finisher
• Booklet Maker Finisher
• Standard Finisher Plus
• SquareFold Trimmer Module (which requires the Booklet Maker Finisher)
• Plockmatic Pro 35 and Plockmatic Pro 50 (which requires the Standard Finisher
Plus)
Power On/Off
The Power Switches
There are three power switches involved with the press:
• The Breaker switch located at the rear of the press. Initially check to make sure this
switch is set to On when the press is shipped.
• The Main Power switch located inside the Front Door. This switch is used mainly by
the Xerox Service Representative when servicing the press. In rare problem solving
cases, you may be directed to power off the press with this switch.
• The Power On/Off button located on the top of the press near the Document Feeder.
This button is the primary way for you to switch on or off the press. It is used by the
operator as workflow requires.
Use the Power On/Off button to power ON or power OFF the press.

The Power Saver feature allows the press to enter a reduced power consumption mode
when all print jobs have completed and there are no jobs currently processing. There
are two energy saving modes: Low Power and Sleep.
By default, the press automatically enters the Low Power mode after 1 minute of
inactivity. After 1 minute of inactivity, the press then enters Sleep mode. These time
intervals for both modes can be changed by the system administrator.
Refer to the following example:
• Low Power Mode is set to 1 minute.
• Sleep Mode is set to 10 minutes.
• Sleep Mode activates after 10 minutes of total inactivity and not 10 minutes after
the Low Power Mode begins.
Low Power Mode
In this mode, the power to the User Interface (UI) and fuser unit is lowered to save
power. The display goes out and the Energy Saver button on the UI lights. To use the
press, press the Energy Saver button. The Energy Saver button is no longer lit, indicating
that the Energy Saver feature is canceled.

Printing on Tabs from the Print Server
Basic Procedure for Printing on Tabs from a Print Server
There are many types of tab stock and tab sequences available. Precut tabs are commonly
used and have two different orientations: the single straight collated tab stock or the
single reverse collated tab stock.
When programming tab jobs and loading tab stock, consider the following:
• Precut tabs can only print 1-sided
• There are specific job settings that you need to define such as tab order/sequence,
number of bank sets, stock weight, paper size, and insertion before or after body
pages. Refer to your print server documentation formore detailed setting information.
• Always load tab stock LEF into the tray where the straight edge of the stock is the
lead edge and the tabs are oriented at the trail edge.
• Always use a complete set or bank or tabs in the paper tray.
• If staple or punch finishing, use tray 5 or trays 6 or 7 (if available).
The following are the basic steps for printing tabs on your press.
1. From the print server, create and define the Tab stock for the paper tray you will be
using.
2. Load the Tab stock in Trays 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 or 7.
3. From the print server window, access the Held queue that contains your document.
Select the document you want to configure with tabs. Double click to open the file’s
properties.
4. Once all settings are made, select Print.
The press prints the complete set of tabs with the body pages defined. Any extra
tabs not used in the job are sent to the output tray.
Tips for Printing on Tabs from the EX Print Server
Use the following tips for printing on tabs from the EX Print Server:
• The EX Print Server allows for setting up your job to print on tabs. Otherwise, you can
set up your job to insert preprinted tabs into your document. Use one tray for the
body pages, another tray for the preprinted tab stock, and another tray for cover or
back pages.
• While you can print tab stock from any of the paper trays on the system (Trays 1, 2,
3, 5, 6 or 7), Trays 6 and 7 should be used for best results. If you plan to apply staple
or punch finishing, use Trays 5, 6 or 7 only.
• Loading orientation depends on what tray you are using.
