The optional Performance Package is a suite of technologies and tools that enhances the capabilities
of the base press in three areas: operational speed, color management automation, and print shop
productivity.
The Performance Package is comprised of the following technologies and tools:
•
Xerox EX 280 Print Server
: The Performance Package is not available with other print servers.
•
All Stocks Rated Speed (ASRS)
software: The All Stocks Rated Speed (ASRS) feature eliminates
the slower speeds created by heavier weight stocks. With ASRS, the speed of the press is governed
by the size of the stock only and not by its weight. This means that all stock weights up to 400 g/
m
2
for a given sheet size runs at the rated speed or the top speed for that stock size.
•
Automated Color Quality System (ACQS)
software: The Automated Color Quality System (ACQS)
is an advanced color management technology that transfers the complex decisions about color
maintenance from operators to an automated system. ACQS automates the printing and
measuring of calibration charts and then calculates and makes precise adjustments to color tables
based on the results.
Note:
The ACQS suite is available only with the external Xerox
