Operational Definitions
1-Sided
Printing on only one side of the substrate
2-Sided
Printing on both sides of the substrate
AMPV
Average Monthly Print Volume -
reflects a range of an entire machine population’s monthly usage, while Duty Cycle
displays the potential to grow while still utilizing the machine.
Daily Maintenance
Maintenance that the customer operator must complete daily to maintain quality printing
Delta E
The measurement of color variation, there are multiple
DPI
Dots Per Inch or physical resolution of the printing device
Duplex
Printing on both sides of the substrate
Duty Cycle
A print device’s rated capacity to continuously perform work under normal conditions. It is usually expressed as the
sustainable volume in letter- or A4-sized pages that can be printed per month.
GSM
Grams per Square meter
– Paper density (also known as basis weight and grammage)
Image Registration

size
– heavier stocks have a higher lb
Maximum Paper Size
Largest substrate that can be physically run through the device
Maximum Print Area
Largest area that can be printed on a substrate
Media/Substrate
The material that can be imaged through a device (e.g. uncoated, coated, cover stock, transparency, etc.)
Multi-Function
Printer/Copier
A device that can be A4 or A3 with capabilities of scan, fax, email, and can be integrated with multiple solutions
Operator Maintenance
Maintenance tasks the customer is responsible to complete
Paper Registration
The placement/alignment of the image on the sheet and sheet to sheet
Periodic Maintenance
Maintenance that occurs based on print volume
Press
Relates to production devices (graphic communications) concerned with high production and high image/color quality
requirements
Preventative Maintenance
Any actions that are taken to prevent downtime and maintains quality printing
Print Quality
The characteristic of printed material evaluated in terms of color, register, clarity, and the degree to which it resembles
the original image.
Print Speed
The rated speed that a device can print
Printer
A smaller device (usually A4) that relates to the office side of the business
Simplex
Printing on only one side of the substrate
Uptime
The time that the device is available for printing
Virus Security
Protection for multifunction printers similar to how you protect PCs from viruses and malware, and control access to end
points on your network
– making your multifunction printer a fully secured network citizen.
Network Switch
When the Fiery Network Controller is connected, it allows only one
network drop with only one IP address (single IP) for the complete
system (WorkCentre Series/7970/7970i + Fiery Controller). Certain
EIP applications (Xerox Solutions applications or 3rd Party
Applications, etc) are supported when in a single IP configuration. The
Network Switch can be added to allow the customer to still have one
network drop with a two IP address configuration to support other EIP
applications (Xerox Solutions applications or 3rd Party Applications,
etc). This allows the EIP application direct access to the WorkCentre
Series/7970/7970i.
Reference Material
A complete set of virtual customer documentation is provided with the
Fiery Network Controller. User documentation in other languages is
also available at the following link:

Software Updates
Periodically, Xerox will make available bug fixes and other software
releases. The EFI option solution must have an Internet connection in
order to take advantage of automatic s/w updates and insure the
solution is maintained with the latest software and fixes. All software
releases and bug fixes are designed to be customer installable from
the Internet and it will be the cust
omer’s responsibility to insure Internet
access and perform the software upgrade activities.
