2-Knife Trimmer Limitations
When clearing a fault on the 2-Knife Trimmer, the SquareFold Trimmer will also need to be reset. The SquareFold
Trimmer can be reset by opening and closing the waste bin.
Always empty the waste bin for both the 2-Knife Trimmer and SquareFold Trimmer at the same time.
The 2-Knife Trimmer can handle cover paper as low as 60 gsm, for best results, 120 gsm to 300 gsm is recommended.

Media and Substrate
Media Selection Guidelines and Media Support
Media Type
Versant® 80 Press Centerline Paper
Uncoated Paper
North America - Xerox Color Xpressions Plus (90 gsm/24 lb.)
Europe C (90 gsm/24 lb.)
Coated Paper
North America Xerox Digital Color Elite Gloss 80 lb. Text (120 gsm)
Europe Xerox Digital Color Elite Gloss 80 lb. Text (120 gsm)
Every effort has been made to ensure that the Press supports a broad range of media. Using only Xerox-recommended media helps maximize reliability
and paper-handling performance. Furthermore, use of the Centerline papers is recommended to help ensure that you receive the best image quality from
your Press.
Typically, heavy weight papers exhibit increased variability of formation and surface smoothness, which may result in degraded image quality.
Paper from all trays is printed topside first. It is recommended that Xerox branded paper be loaded with ream wrapper seam-side up.
Manufacturers of coated stock do not recommend use of their media when the ambient relative humidity exceeds 60%. Relative humidity greater than
40% may increase the misfeed rate from Trays 1, 2, 3 and 5 (Bypass).
All paper stretches to a certain extent during printing. The amount of stretch is dependent on paper type and environmental conditions. Stretch is most
noticeable on coated stocks. This stretch can affect front-to-back image registration. Use the Alignment Profiles feature with the SIQA tool to minimize
this effect.
Image registration, image quality (for example white spots), and machine reliability can be adversely affected when custom-cut paper is inaccurately cut,
is of poor quality, or loose paper fibers are present on the cut edges.
Image registration, image quality (for example white spots), jam frequency and machine reliability can be adversely affected when punched or drilled
paper is of poor quality and/or loose hole plugs are present in the ream.
For further information and recommendations regarding media testing, selections, and handling, refer to the
Recommended Media List

Press Output and Other Equipment
The Press
output (prints) should not be run through the printing path of Nuvera® or DocuTech® Production Publishing systems. However, the prints can
be used with the Interposer module.
Nuvera, DocuTech, and other technology output, including preprinted offset shells, should not be run though the printing path of a Versant® 80 Press.
If you plan to run the Press output through other equipment, including finishing devices such as a coater or laminator, it is recommended you test the
application before committing to the job. Many factors impact the success of running the Press output in other equipment.
Duplex (2-Sided Prints)
Automatic duplex printing can be performed on recommended media up to 13 x 19 in (SRA3 320 x 450 mm/maximum 320 x 482 mm) from 52-300 gsm.
Manual duplex can also be performed on recommended media up to 13 x 19 in (SRA3 320 x 450 mm/maximum 320 x 482 mm) from Tray 5 (Bypass).
As with any printer or copier, duplex performance may not match the performance for single-sided printing or copying. Paper jam rates may be higher
than the rate you will experience for the same throughput material in single-sided mode.
In order to reduce paper jam frequency when duplex printing on stocks heavier than 220 gsm (80 lb. Cover), paper grain should be perpendicular to the
print process direction (i.e. Short Grain).
