Detailed Specifications
Product Specifications
All references to media capacity are based on the Xerox Centerline Paper. Centerline Paper identifies the stock at the middle of the
range of stocks that will deliver optimum performance for a given characteristic. Other paper weights and brands may alter
performance (for example, paper tray capacities).

Up to 80 ppm 52 – 220 gsm
Up to 60 ppm 221-350 gsm
Recommended Average Monthly Print
Volume 1
25,000 to 80,000 pages
Maximum Monthly Duty Cycle 2Up to 460,000 pages
1 The Average Monthly Print Volume is the expected regular monthly throughput for 8.5x11/A4 paper.
2 The Monthly Duty Cycle is the maximum volume capacity expected in any one month. This volume is supported under
standard vendor supplied service for any single month but is not expected to be sustained on a regular basis. Customers
should consider higher volume machines or multiple machines if average monthly volume approaches the maximum duty cycle
on a continual basis.
NOTE: Refer to the following for more detailed specification information: Feature Specifications, Print Engine Productivity Charts,
and Feeding from the Bypass Tray 5.
The press is designed to operate in the range of 25,000 – 80,000 prints per month. At an average usage of 43,000 prints per
month using centerline paper, it is expected that service will be required about once every 3.5 weeks. Prints between service calls
on a digital color press depend upon individual customer requirements for quality, volume, applications, and throughput material.
Generally, customers who participate in formal operator training from Xerox experience better performance, improved
productivity, and reduced service activity.
The recommended maximum Black-only (K-only) volume is 20% of total monthly volume, or up to 8,600 K-only AMPV.

Customer Expectation & Installation Guide
Customers will also achieve improved system uptime and elimination of certain service calls through the Technical Key Operator
Replaceable Units (TKORU) program. TKORU is a self-maintenance program that will enable trained operators to replace certain
parts (Fuser Belt Module, Pressure Roll, Stripper Finger Assembly, and Pressure Roll Cleaning Pad) and perform other service and
diagnostic tasks. The TKORU program will provide supplies, documentation, and Technical Key Operator training, which will be
scheduled with the Xerox Customer Service Engineer at, or shortly after, installation. Following the initial TKORU training, if the
customer requires additional people to be trained it may be chargeable or the service pricing maybe adjusted. If the customer
fails to perform the TKORU maintenance tasks, the service entity will be able to charge the customer for the service labor
performing these tasks.

First Print Out Time
(FPOT)
In “Ready Mode” the FPOT is on average less than 8
sec. for color and less than 10 sec. for B/W.
At initial power on copy/print, the system requires
between 30 and 45 seconds to produce the first print.
Switching from a Color Mode job to a B/W job or the
reverse requires on average between 30-60 seconds.
60 seconds is always needed after a paper jam to
ensure the system is recovered from possible
contamination, and ensure that the image quality is
optimized.
FPOT is measured from the time the Printer starts to the time the trail
edge of the sheet exits the Offset Catch Tray.
Note: If the system is equipped with various types of finishing devices,
the FPOT time will vary depending on the length of the paper path
needed to transport that paper.

Tray Switching and Mixed Media Test Results
Press Productivity Modes
The Xerox New 80 Press allows the user to select from 2 Productivity Modes that impact the print speed of mixed media jobs.
Descriptions of these modes and test results are cited below. Note – test results refer to Versant 80 speeds without the
Performance Package. Performance Package test results will be released in a future edition of this document.
Optimized for Speed: (Default mode) This mode uses the maximum temperature for the heaviest stock within the job and won’t
stop to adjust the fuser temperature.
Optimized for Quality: This mode adjusts the fuser temperature for each stock weight range and the system productivity will
slow down to allow the press to adjust the fuser temperature when necessary.
The following table provides test results on several job types that utilize mixed media and that require paper tray switching.
These jobs were tested by Xerox to provide representative productivity. Results for similar jobs may vary depending on the Print
Server, specific media, paper trays, and print mode that are used.

Space Requirements
All standard Xerox space requirements apply to this installation including overhead, shared, aisle or hallway, and operator
space. The customer is
responsible to provide appropriate floor spacing and placement surface. Refer to Space
Requirements/Service Space Envelope for space requirements that are matched to your Xerox FreeFlow Print Server.
To enable a Service Representative to safely repair the system, the work area must measure at least 36 inches (91.44 cm)
square
around the server. There must be a minimum of 78 inches (198.12 cm) clearance from the floor to the nearest
overhead obstructions.
The work surface of the network controller must not infringe on the space requirements by the press and any attached
accessories unless the work surface is a table that has wheels and can easily be moved. Storage and future availability of
software that ships with the color server is a customer responsibility. Xerox personnel do not carry replacement materials.
NOTE: Power cord for the FreeFlow Print Server is approximately 7.5 feet (2.3 meters).

Running Antivirus Software
While installing anti-virus software is not prohibited, Xerox has not tested anti-virus applications for the Sun/Solaris Operating
System with the FreeFlow print Server, their effectiveness or possible impact to productivity and reliability. The Solaris 10
Operating System is one of the most secure operating system earning the Common Criteria Certification of security assurance,
rated at EAL 4+. Oracle/Sun is constantly evaluating security vulnerability research reports and releasing patches quickly to
ensure Solaris remains secure from attackers. Of note, there are few commercial anti-virus products available for Solaris.
The few anti-virus software products that are available for Solaris typically focus on detecting Microsoft-targeted viruses that are
received via email. The FreeFlow Print Server has disabled email services by default. Therefore, software that protects against
incoming mail viruses is not required. The server also does not send email by default, and this is not a source of virus propagation.
To effectively stop the spread of virus software that might conceivably be introduced into the print server via removable media or
USB drives, the System Administrator may disable these points of access.
If a customer decides to install an anti-virus product on the FreeFlow Print Server, they are responsible for maintaining updates to
the product. If system reliability and performance issues are subsequently reported, Xerox will required the product be removed
and the problem replicated, before attempting to diagnose or troubleshoot the problem.
Security
The customer is responsible for assessing the security risk for their environment and defining appropriate mitigation that may
include changes to the default settings of the Xerox equipment or standard operating processes. Xerox understands the
importance of maintaining a secure network environment and recommends that customers change the default built-in
passwords and modify the security-related configuration options to satisfy their site-specific requirements upon completions of
system installation. Xerox is committed to helping the customer keep the print server secure and compliant with the latest
security requirements. This is managed via a Security Audit Process.

Versant 80 Press
Customer Expectation & Installation Guide
For more guidance on implementing security see www.xerox.com/security.
Xerox monitors alerts announcing new security vulnerabilities. These alerts are evaluated for impacts to the system and
software. All patches applicable to the print server products are prioritized based on severity, system tested, and integrated into
System Problem Action Report (SPAR) releases.
SPAR updates will be installed on your FreeFlow Print Serve by Xerox Service. Please contact you Support Analyst or the Xerox
Welcome Center for information on the applicability and availability of security patches. The system cannot be patched or
updated while operating/printing.
Non-standard Paper Size Support
The Press supports non-standard paper sizes. However, due to rounding and unit conversions that occur in the client applications,
print server, and printer, some mismatch may occur between the paper size entered at the application and the paper size that
must be entered at the printer. The operator may need to adjust the entered paper dimensions by up to 0.1 in (2.5 mm) in order
for the printer to detect that the requested paper size has been loaded. In addition, the printer interprets some paper sizes
included in the PPD as non-standard sizes.
Customer Service and Support
Periodically, Xerox will make available bug fixes and updated software releases. All bug fixes and software releases can be
obtained by calling the Xerox Hotline Support Center.
Software Replacement
If lost or misplaced, replacement software and documentation is available to be purchased. For the United States, you can access
replacements through the Software Services web site
http://www.xdss.com. If you reside outside the United States, work with your
local Xerox Representative. Xerox personnel may not be able to provide services unless these materials are available.
Professional Support Services
Xerox offers a rich set of value-added services designed to help you plan, implement, and operate your solution in addition to
migrate and build your key applications, analyze and optimize your workflow. Your local sales representative and analyst can
discuss and demonstrate to you that their professional services can make your business more effective. Professional services are
billable by the hour and/or job based depending on the geographic region.

Adobe PDF Print Engine
The FreeFlow Print Server version 9.0 SP3 incorporates Adobe® PDF® Print Engine version 3.1 as a standard licensed feature.
Adobe PDF Print Engine provides true native rendering of PDF files using common rendering with the Adobe Creative Suite®.
This technology ensures output matches the creative vision, including effects such as live transparency, blending modes and drop
shadows. The integration of Adobe PDF Print Engine also takes advantage of the unique strengths of FreeFlow Print Server,
including color profile and spot color table accuracy
The Adobe PDF print Engine and Legacy PDF paths can result in visual output and performance differences based on job
characteristics. The FreeFlow Print Server allows the choice on a queue basis of using either the Adobe PDF Print Engine or legacy
PDF processing. Regardless of the choice for PDF processing, the queue can continue to accept and process jobs in other
traditional formats such as PostScript®, VIPP and PCL. It is recommended to test key applications to evaluate quality and
performance prior to implementing.
File Creation
Even with the ability to process files through the Adobe PDF Print Engine there can be variations in processing times and color
when comparing this to the traditional PostScript pathway. It is always best to create files appropriate for the intended production
workflow. Image source color profiles, common color conversion working spaces, live vs. flattened transparency should all be
considered prior to creation for best end results.
Images that are scaled and rotated to their appropriate angle, size and resolution prior to being placed in a design program will
typically process better. Always refer to a design guide for advice.
Always read the full documentation and understand how PDFs affect color paths with the print engine. There are many online
resources available to help optimize PDF’s for printed output.
File Formats
The following file formats are supported:
PostScript level 1, 2, or 3 per the PostScript language Reference Manual Supplement v3017
