Environmental Benefits of Duplex Printing
Most Xerox®products have duplex printing, also known as 2-sided printing, capability. This enables you to print on both sides of the paper automatically, and therefore helps to reduce the use of valuable resources by reducing your paper consumption. The Lot 4 Imaging Equipment agreement requires that on models greater than or equal to 40 ppm color or greater than or equal to 45 ppm monochrome the duplex function has been auto-enabled, during the setup and driver installation. Some Xerox models below these speed bands may also be enabled with 2-sided printing settings defaulted on at the time of install. Use of the duplex function will reduce the environmental impact of your work. However, you must require simplex or 1-sided printing, you can change the print settings in the print driver.
Paper Types
You can use this product to print on both recycled and virgin paper, approved to an environmental stewardship scheme, which complies with EN12281 or a similar quality standard. Lighter weight paper (60 g/m
2
), which contains less raw material and thus saves resources per print, can be used in
certain applications. We recommend you to check if this is suitable for your printing needs.
ENERGY STAR
The ENERGY STAR program is a voluntary scheme to promote the development and purchase of energy-efficient models, which help to reduce environmental impact. Details on the ENERGY STAR program and models qualified to ENERGY STAR can be found at the following website: www.energystar.gov.
The ENERGY STAR and ENERGY STAR mark are registered United States trademarks.
The ENERGY STAR Imaging Equipment Program is a team effort between United States, European Union, Japanese governments, and the office equipment industry to promote energy­efficient copiers, printers, fax, multifunction printers, personal computers, and monitors. Reducing product energy consumption helps combat smog, acid rain, and long-term changes to the climate by decreasing the emissions that result from generating electricity.

Power Consumption and Activation Time
The amount of electricity that a device consumes depends on the way the device is used. This device is designed and configured to enable you to reduce your electricity usage.
Power Saver modes are enabled on your device to reduce energy consumption. After the last print, the device goes to Ready mode. In this mode, the device can print again immediately. If the device is not used for a specified period, the device goes to Low Power mode, then to Sleep mode. In these modes, to enable reduced-power consumption, only essential functions remain active. The device takes longer to produce the first print after it exits the Power Saver modes than it takes to print in Ready mode. This delay is the result of the system waking up and is typical of most imaging devices on the market.
To save power, you can enable Auto Power Off mode on your device. If Auto Power Off mode is enabled, you can configure the mode as follows:
Always Allowed: The device powers off automatically after the specified time, and the cumulative
Low Power mode and Sleep mode time outs have elapsed.
Allowed ONLY When the Conditions are Met: The device automatically powers off only after
time outs have elapsed. The device also powers off if USB Drive, and Wired and Non-Wired Network are not activated.
To change the Power Saver settings, refer to the User Documentation at www.xerox.com/VERSANT_
4100docs. For more details, contact your System Administrator or refer to the System Administrator
Guide.

Before loading paper, consider the following:
To define attributes for a stock, to add a new stock to the Stock Library, or to assign a stock to a paper tray for the print job, access the Stock Wizard in the PredictPrint Media Manager application on the print server. If you have restricted access, contact your System Administrator.
Note: The PredictPrint Media 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 Wizard opens in the PredictPrint Media Manager
application. The Stock Wizard guides you through the steps to set up the stock assigned to that tray.
Note: If the Administrator has disabled the Stock Wizard, then the Tray Properties
window for the tray appears.
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. For details on how to enable this feature and prioritize the order of trays to search on and use, refer to the System Administrator Guide.

Fan paper before loading it in the paper tray.
Do not overfill the paper trays. Do not load paper above the indicated maximum fill line in the tray.
Adjust the paper guides to fit the paper size.
If excessive jams occur, use paper or other approved media from a new package.
Do not print on label media after a label has been removed from a sheet.

Storing paper and other media properly contributes to optimum print quality.
Store paper in dark, cool, relatively dry locations. Most paper is susceptible to damage from ultraviolet and visible light. Ultraviolet light, from the sun and fluorescent bulbs, is particularly damaging to paper.
Reduce the exposure of paper to strong lights for long periods of time.
Maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity.
Avoid storing paper in locations that are damp or collect moisture.
Store paper flat on pallets, cartons, shelves, or in cabinets.
Avoid food or drinks in the area where paper is stored or handled.
Do not open sealed packages of paper until you are ready to load the paper into the trays. Leave stored paper in the original packaging. The paper wrapper protects the paper from moisture loss or gain.
Some special media is packaged inside resealable plastic bags. Store the media inside the bag until you are ready to use it. Keep unused media in the bag and reseal it for protection.

Paper Tray Information for Trays 1, 2, and 3
Trays 1, 2, and 3 are identical. When the press is first installed, the tray size setting for Trays 1 and 3 are set at 8.5 x 11 in. or A4 (LEF). The tray size setting for Tray 2 is set at 11 x 17 in. or A3 (SEF).
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.
When the PredictPrint Media Manager application is installed on the print server, the default for all trays is Letter (8.5 x 11 in.). At the PredictPrint Media Manager, the operator can change those default tray sizes different stock size settings.
Note: The sizes selected from the PredictPrint Media Manager application for all trays must
match the paper sizes that are loaded in the trays.
The specifications for each tray are:
Maximum of 550 sheets of 24 lb. (90 g/m coated stock
Paper weight range of 18 lb. Bond to 95 lb. Cover (64 g/m

If you use Trays 6 or 7, envelopes must be fed with the Postcard Bracket or with the installed
optional Envelope Support Kit.
If the Postcard Bracket is used, the stack height is limited to 200 envelopes.
Postcard Bracket
The postcard bracket is delivered with Trays 6 and 7 from manufacturing. The postcard bracket allows you to print on smaller size media without requiring post-processing cutting or sorting. The postcard bracket accommodates 101.6 x 152.4 mm (4 x 6 in.) SEF media and smaller. For more information, refer to Paper Size Ranges.
Note: For more information, refer to Postcards.
Optional Envelope Support Kit
The Envelope Support Kit enables a greater quantity of envelopes to be loaded and printed from Trays 6 or 7. This optional kit consists of two plastic pieces that fit into the bottom of the tray and a postcard bracket that attaches to the side of the tray. The plastic pieces lift one side of the stack of envelopes to offset the extra thickness of the flaps. This keeps the stack level for feeding and enables more envelopes to be fed from the tray.
Note: For more information, refer to Envelopes.
Paper Tray Information for Tray 5 (Bypass)

The following tables show the maximum print speed of the press across the full range of paper sizes that the press supports. Unless otherwise noted, the print speed is identical for full-color or black-and­white-only prints.
Process and print speed is based on 1-Sided or 2-Sided mode, paper type, paper weight, paper size, and feeding tray.
Note: The references to Bond and Cover weight ranges are approximations based on
conversion to the nearest standard paper weight and type.
Productivity Information for Trays 1–3, 6, 7, 8, and 9
The Postcard size is supported only with optional Trays 6 and 7, Trays 8 and 9, and Tray 5 (Bypass). To support Postcard size, Trays 6 and 7, and Trays 8 and 9, require a postcard bracket. Trays 1, 2, and 3 support only 52–256 g/m
Note: The ideal room temperature is 16° C (60.8° F) or higher.

Important: To ensure maximum productivity and successful job completion, always verify that
the Tray Properties information on the PredictPrint Media Manager application on the print
server matches the actual stock or media that is loaded in the tray being used for the print job.
Before running a print job, check for any of the following conditions:
Modifications were made to the Stock Library, such as:
Adding a stock
Copying a stock
Creating a new stock
Editing an existing stock
Stock or media was loaded into the selected tray for the print job
The tray selected for the print job was opened or closed
Note: If any of these conditions apply, verify that the Tray Properties information matches the
actual tray contents.
If the stock loaded in the tray does not match the information on the Tray Properties window, then a message may appear on one or more of the following screens:
The press User Interface
The PredictPrint Media Manager application
The print server
Tip: Stock or tray mismatch information and how it is displayed is dependent on the individual
print server. If stock is changed in a tray, a message may not be displayed. Therefore it is
important to perform the following steps always before running a print job.

If misregistration or skew occurs on printed output that was fed from Trays 6 or 7, manual adjustment of the paper-feed levers may improve and correct the printed output.
Important: For most print jobs, these levers should remain in their default position. The
position of these levers should be changed only if there is a skew problem when running a specific print job or media type. Changing the levers can cause more skew problems when running certain media types such as coated, label, tab stock, hole-punched paper, transparency, film, postcards, and envelopes.
The paper-feed adjustment levers are found in Trays 6 and 7. These levers are used to improve paper feed accuracy and to reduce paper skew problems.

Guidelines for Printing on Transparencies
Always refer to the following guidelines before using transparencies:
For optimum system performance and image projection, use Xerox removable stripe transparency materials. These premium transparencies are specifically designed to provide optimum print quality.
Use of other transparencies may cause press damage and result in excessive service calls.
Transparencies can be printed from all trays.
Use only transparency stock listed in the Tested Substrate List (TSL).
Do not intermix paper with individual transparencies in a tray. Jams can occur.
Do not load more than 100 transparencies in a paper tray at one time.
Load 8.5 x 11 in., A4 transparencies long edge feed only (portrait).
Fan the transparencies to stop them from sticking together before loading.
Load transparencies on top of a small stack of same-size paper.
At the PredictPrint Media Manager, ensure that you select Transparency as the Paper or Media Type and select the tray that contains the transparencies as the Paper Source.
The maximum output stack height should not exceed 100 transparencies.
Loading Transparencies in Trays 1, 2, and 3
Load the transparencies in the LEF (portrait) direction and align the edge of the transparencies against the left edge of the tray, with the side to be printed on facing up.

When you open a paper tray or scan a barcode, the PredictPrint Stock Wizard opens. The Stock Wizard instantly loads stock properties to a tray and provides a simple, step-by-step guidance through setup routines for printing optimization. The setup routines are automatic, semi-automatic, or manual, and are provided by the PredictPrint Media Manager application.
SSttoocckk WWiizzaarrdd OOvveerrvviieeww
The Stock Wizard is a feature that automates media management for the digital presses. You can scan the media barcode using the barcode scanner, then load the paper in the tray, or you can load the paper, then scan the barcode. When you scan the barcode, the PredictPrint Media Manager application connects to the PredictPrint Cloud server and retrieves all the stock properties and recommended setup routines for the stock.
The Stock Wizard performs all the advanced settings recommended to optimize print performance for each stock. When a stock is loaded for the first time, to maximize image quality and color output, the Stock Wizard runs a fully automated calibration and profiling process.
The Stock Wizard uses the following processes:
Scan
On the Scan screen, you scan the barcode of a specific media with a barcode scanner. When you scan the barcode, the Stock Wizard connects to the PredictPrint Cloud Server and downloads all the stock attributes, set points, and recommended setup routines for the stock.
Define
If you have an unknown barcode or are creating a custom barcode, the Define screen opens. When you create a custom barcode or scan a barcode that is not known by the cloud server, you

need to define the media attributes manually.
Note: The stock only needs to be defined once. After you set up the stock for the first time,
the data is stored in the PredictPrint Cloud Server. You can scan the associated barcode to
obtain the stock information automatically.
Load
On the Load screen, you can specify the trays where you have loaded the stock. The paper tray options are Trays 1–3, 6–9, Tray 5 (Bypass), or Inserter Tray T1. You can load the media before or after you scan a barcode or define the stock properties. For multiple tray loading, you can load all trays or scan the barcodes in any order. You can load all trays or scan the barcodes in any order, as follows:
If you scan the barcodes first: Scan all barcodes. To load the media in the correct trays, follow the Stock Wizard.
If you load the trays first: Load all stocks in the appropriate trays. To verify the barcodes for the loaded stocks, follow the Stock Wizard screens.
Setup
On the Setup screen, you can verify that the stock properties are correct. You can select the orientation of the paper that feeds into the press: Long Edge Feed or Short Edge Feed. On the Setup screen, the Stock Wizard performs automatic setup routines that are recommended for the stock. The automatic setup routines include:
Tray Programming
Alignment Setup
Secondary Transfer Voltage Adjustment
Calibration and Profiling
Advanced
On the Advanced screen, the Stock Wizard performs semi-automatic setup routines that are recommended for the stock. The advanced setup routines include:
Advanced Alignment for Multiple Profiles
Trail Edge Transfer Output Adjustment
Aligner Roll Pressure Adjustment
Paper Speed Transfer Adjustment
Fuser Temperature Adjustment
Regi-Loop Adjustment
Pre Gate Roll Control
Tray Air Assist Adjustment
Tray Heater Adjustment
Note: If there are no semi-automatic setup routines to perform, the Calibration and

Color Calibration and Profiling is a fully automated process within the Stock Wizard. The Stock Wizard passes the stock information to the Fiery Print Server. Calibration and Profiling is not performed with the other automatic setup routines. This automatic setup routine is performed always after the semi­automatic adjustments and before any manual adjustments.
The need for calibration and profiling is not determined by the PredictPrint Cloud Server, but by the Fiery Print Server. The need for calibration is time-based. If more than 7 days pass after the last calibration, the Stock Wizard performs a calibration check. For profiling, each stock is profiled on the first setup routine only.
When the calibration and profiling is done through the PredictPrint Stock Wizard, the process uses Full Width Array and requires 60 pages. If needed, you can perform additional calibration or profiling outside of the Stock Wizard using the handheld Spectrophotometer on the Fiery Print Server.
You can change the default 7-day time setting for calibration, which is set on the print server. On the Fiery Print Server Device Center, click GeneralToolsCalibrator, then click the small gear icon at the bottom of the page. The Calibration Notification window opens, where you can set the time limit for the next calibration check.
Calibration and Profiling proceeds as follows:
1. On the Advanced screen, after the semi-automatic setup routines are complete, the Stock Wizard
starts the Calibration and Profiling process automatically.
Note: If there are no semi-automatic setup routines to perform, the Calibration and
Profiling process is done on the Setup screen.
2. The PredictPrint Stock Wizard coordinates with the Fiery Print Server. The Color Profiling and
Calibration Check is done automatically, and the progress appears on the Fiery Color Xpress window.
3. To cancel the Calibration and Profiling process, on the Fiery Color Xpress window, click Cancel.
4. When the Calibration and Profiling process is complete, a Success message appears and the
Fiery Color Xpress window closes automatically.
5. After the Calibration and Profiling process completes, the Done screen appears.
