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.

additional feeding options. Otherwise, the system does not come with this feeding
tray.

Energy Saver Mode
The Energy Saver feature allows the press to enter a reduced power consumption mode
when all print jobs have completed and there are no jobs currently processing. There
are two energy saving modes: Low Power and Sleep.
By default, the press automatically enters the Low Power mode after 15 minutes of
inactivity. After 60 minutes of inactivity, the press then enters Sleep mode. These time
intervals for both modes can be changed by the system administrator.
Here are two examples:
•If Low Power Mode is set to 15 minutes and Sleep Mode is set to 60 minutes, Sleep
Mode activates after 60 minutes of total inactivity, not 60 minutes after Low Power
Mode begins.

press Control Panel or when receiving print data for an incoming job to be printed.
Power On/Off
The Power Switches
There are three power switches involved with the press:
•The Breaker switch located at the rear of the press. Initially check to make sure this
switch is set to On when the press is shipped.
•The Main Power switch located inside the Center Front Door. This switch is used
mainly by the Xerox Service Representative when servicing the press. In rare problem
solving cases, you may be directed to power off the press with this switch.
•The Power On/Off button located on the right side of the Control Panel. This button
is the primary way for you to switch on or off the press. It is used by the operator as
workflow requires.
