Product Overview
Press Overview
The Xerox®Versant®2100 Press is a full color / black and white, auto-duplex press that
operates at a speed of 100 prints per minute (when printing on 8.5 x 11 inch / A4 paper).
The system configuration consists of the Oversized High Capacity Feeder (OHCF / Trays
6 and 7), the print engine with internal feeding trays (Trays 1-3), and an embedded
Control Panel and touch screen (the user interface). A print server is also part of the
configuration, which includes the Stock Library Manager application used for stock and
tray setup and print job submission. An Offset Catch Tray can be attached to the print
engine or various optional inline finishing devices with the Interface Module are offered.
Print Server Overview
The print server networked with your press accepts, processes, and manages document
files for job submission to the press.
One of two print servers may be used with your press:
• Xerox®FreeFlow®Print Server
• Xerox®EX Print Server, Powered by Fiery
The print server contains the Stock Library Manager application. Refer to the Stock
Library Manager > Help for information on how to set up stocks, custom profiles, and
paper trays used by the press.
Note
For detailed information on your specific print server, refer to the customer
documentation that was delivered with it.
