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.
To enable Auto Power Off mode, contact your System Administrator. For details, refer to the SystemAdministrator Guide at www.xerox.com/VERSANT_4100docs.
To learn more about Xerox participation in sustainability initiatives, go to:

Default Power Saver Settings
This device is ENERGY STAR
Equipment. The Low-Power mode time can be configured up to 30 minutes. The default value is 15
minutes. The Sleep mode time can be configured up to 30 minutes. The default value is 30 minutes.
Sleep mode begins after the configured time of inactivity rather than time after Low-Power mode.
To change the Default Power Saver settings, contact your System Administrator, or refer to the
System Administrator Guide at www.xerox.com/VERSANT_4100docs.
Note: Changing the default Power Saver activation times can result in an overall higher energy
consumption of the device. Before you turn off Power Saver modes or set a long activation
time, consider the increase in device power consumption.

PPaappeerr aanndd MMeeddiiaa OOvveerrvviieeww
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.
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.

–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)

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 a message exists, follow the information provided on the print server to correct the stock
mismatch issue, then continue to the next step.
•If a message does not exist, continue to the next step.
3.Load the stock in the tray.
If the User Interface on the press displays a mismatch message, to correct the mismatch, use the
Stock Wizard.
4.Close the tray.
The Stock Wizard opens.
5.To change the Tray Properties to match the contents of the tray, follow the stock setup steps in
the Stock Wizard.
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.

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

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 General→Tools→Calibrator, 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.
