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.

Paper and Other Media

Paper and Other Media Overview

This section describes how to load specific stocks into the various feeder trays.

Before loading paper, consider the following:

• To define attributes for a stock, add a new stock to the Stock Library, or assign a stock

to a paper tray for the print job, access the Stock Library Manager on the print server. If you have restricted access, contact your System Administrator.

Note

The Stock Library Manager is an application that is loaded onto the print server and is used to manage the stocks and paper trays for your press. By default, the Stock Library feature is available to both the operator and system administrator modes. Your System Administrator may restrict user access to change or add stocks. When you are loading paper, the Stock Library Manager application opens the Tray Properties window for that tray and you can view or change the stock assigned to that tray.

• The press supports the ability to pull different stock sizes and paper types from various trays and assemble them as part of a single job. To select multiple paper trays and insert different papers within one job, program this custom job at the print server using features such as special pages.

• The press supports Automatic Tray Switching, which allows a job to switch automatically from an empty tray to a full tray containing the same size paper, orientation and stock type. Refer to the System Administrator Guide for how to enable this feature and prioritize the order of trays to search on and use.

Loading Media in Trays 1, 2, and 3

Trays 1, 2, and 3 are identical. Each tray has a capacity of 550 sheets of 20 lb. / 75 gsm paper. Stock can be LEF or SEF, landscape or portrait.

Note

Each feeder tray has a stock loading label. When loading media into the tray, refer to the labels on the inside panel of the feeder tray for the correct orientation of that stock type.

Loading Paper in Trays 1, 2, and 3

From the Stock Library Manager on the print server, set the stock type, weight and size settings for the tray. At the press, check that the stock loaded in the paper tray matches the paper tray attributes programmed.

Note

A paper jam may occur if a tray is opened while it is being used to feed stock.

1. Select the appropriate paper stock for your print job.

2. Pull out the tray slowly until it stops.

3. Open the ream of paper with the seam side facing up.

4. Fan the sheets before loading them into the tray.

5. Load and align the edge of the paper against the left edge of the tray.

Paper can be loaded either in the LEF / portrait or SEF / landscape direction.

6. Adjust the paper guides by pressing in the guide release and carefully moving the Edge Guide until it lightly touches the edge of the material in the tray.

Do not load materials above the MAX line located on the rear Edge Guide.

7. Gently push in the tray until it comes to a stop.

The Paper Tray Properties window displays on the print server (on Stock Library Manager). You can view and set stock attributes and verify trays are assigned with the correct stock. The Stock Library Manager is available from the print server only and not at the press.

1. Within the Stock Library Manager on the print server, set up and define the stock

properties for the paper you will use and assign that paper to the feeder tray.

2. At the press, load the appropriate paper to be used for the job that matches the

tray property settings.

3. At the print server main window, customize your job such as inserting special pages

and tabs, and create your print queue that defines the attributes of those jobs sent to the queue.

4. Submit the job file from the print server to the networked press for printing.

Stock Library Manager

Begin your job workflow at the Stock Library Manager. The Stock Library Manager is a separate application residing on the print server desktop only and not at the press. At the Stock Library Manager main window, set up and manage the stock types, profiles associated with a stock, the Stock Library and RML, and the feeder tray attributes to use when printing a job.

Note

For complete information on the Stock Library Manager and on how to set up your stock and paper tray settings for the print job, refer to the Online Help in the Stock Library Manager.

Enable Paper Tray Features

At the press, the System Administrator can enable the Auto Tray Switching feature and prioritize the trays to switch over to using when one tray with the same paper becomes empty.

Define Jobs and Queues

Refer to the Print Server documentation to learn about programming various types of jobs including tab jobs and assembling different stock types from different trays for the same job.

How to Submit a Print Job

There are several ways in which to submit your job for printing:

• From your computer workstation (PC or Mac), using print drivers such as PostScript and Printer Command Language (PCL), you can submit a document file to the print server queue. From the print server, you would then submit the job to the press.

Note

Make sure the appropriate print drivers have been installed on your computer. Refer to your print driver documentation or the Xerox web site for more information on how to download or install print drivers.

• At any remote workstation, using a Hot Folders application to submit the document file to the print server.

• At the print server, importing/adding a document file to a print queue. Manage the job settings of the document and then submit to the press for printing.

Refer to the Stock Library Manager application’s Online Help on how to set up the properties for a job that you submit from the print server.

Printing from Your Computer

The system supports either Xerox FreeFlow or Fiery print drivers. Through print drivers installed on your computer or Mac, you can send a document file from your desktop to the print server, which can then be submitted to the press for printing.

Note

You can also use a drag and drop Hot Folders feature by which to send your files to the print server for printing to the press.

1. From your computer, select the file you want to print and open it in its application.

Printing on Tabs

The EFI 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, 7, 8, or 9), Trays 6, 7, 8, and 9 should be used for best results. If you plan to apply staple or punch finishing, use Trays 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 only.

Loading orientation depends on what tray you are using. Refer to the Paper and Other Media section on how to load and align tab stock in the trays.

Printing Tabs from the 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 for more 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 trays 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9.

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, 7, 8, or 9. Refer to Loading Tab Paper in Trays in the Paper and Other Media chapter.

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.

Calibrating the Press

Full Width Array Overview

Accessed from the press Control Panel, the Full Width Array feature calibrates the print engine only. It uses xerographic parameters and diagnostics to analyze the finished image and correct errors in output color and density uniformity. This feature uses internal color calibration strips (or tiles) as reference for known colors of a test pattern. These color values are automatically adjusted to produce accurate and consistent reproductions.

The Full Width Array provides the following adjustment:

• Automatic Density Uniformity Adjustment: Run this image quality adjustment when the printed output density is inconsistent (non-uniform) within the printed page. Non-uniform, inconsistent density may appear as faded colors on portions of the printed page (jobs running light and dark).

Note

Before running color-critical jobs, run the Density Uniformity Adjustment procedure and use the calibration features at the print server to ensure that your press maintains the best image quality with less or no down time.

Note

Refer to your Print Server user documentation when performing the calibration workflow of the Print Server in conjunction with the print engine. Alignment and registration adjustments are performed at the print server.

Changing the Fuser Width ID

The press is installed with a default standard fuser type that is suitable for all media sizes (paper widths). However, when Removing the Fuser Module you can optimize its life and maintain the system’s image quality output by attaching a jumper connector to the fuser assembly that identifies the specific paper width range to use.

If you plan to print jobs using a specific paper width, use this procedure to attach the bypass connector for that fuser to the fuser assembly. This identifies to the system that a different fuser is being used and only certain paper widths will be allowed to print.

The fuser types available are:

• 11 inch (A4 / Letter SEF) width fuser

• 12 inch (A3 SEF / A4 / Letter LEF / 304.8 mm) width fuser

• 13 inch (SRA 3/ 330.2 mm) width fuser

• Custom and other size papers

Inform the System Administrator who will then set the NVM settings at the press touch screen to identify the fuser type and set minimum and maximum NVM width values. When you then connect the bypass connector to the fuser, the press detects the fuser type and width and confirms it is appropriate for the system.
