Environment Management System (EMS)
EMS Overview
Creo is committed to the Environment Management System (EMS). According to this policy, we are
committed to keeping customers and service engineers informed about the principles of handling
company products with an emphasis on environmental conservation.
The Triple-R principles are reduce, reuse, and recycle.
Any item that can be recycled should be recycled and any item that can be reused should be reused, to
reduce the quantities of trash that cities must handle.
Recycling
Used items such as paper, plastic, electronic parts, and glass – should be sent for recycling.
Packaging Materials
Packaging materials should be kept at the customer’s premises. For disposal, they should be sent to a
plant for paper, carton, and wood recycling.
End of Product Life
When the product reaches its end of life, it should be sent for recycling to a recognized local company.

Overview of Spire CXP6000 Color Server
The Spire CXP6000 color server is an on-demand pre-press system that
uses Creo Spire advanced pre-press technologies, to drive a Xerox
DocuColor 6060 Digital Color Press.
As an optimal digital color solution for printers, the Spire CXP6000 color
server enables you to print from Windows, Macintosh, and UNIX® client
workstations. The Spire CXP6000 color server processes image files in

color server also streamlines the printing process by allowing printing with
preset workflows.
In combination with the Xerox DocuColor 6060 Digital Color Press, the
Spire CXP6000 color server enables you to efficiently print flyers,
brochures, pamphlets, dummy catalogs, short-run trials, and print-on-
demand publications. When installed as a fast, network printer with the
