Introduction
The purpose of this document is to help you understand the current features and capabilities of the Xerox
Nuvera™ 100/120/144 Digital Production System (DPS). Review of this material is recommended prior to
your signing an order for a Xerox Nuvera™ 100/120/144 Digital Production System.
This document addresses high-level expectations. Additional details are provided in the training
documentation.
Product Overview
The Xerox Nuvera™ 100/120/144 Digital Production System sets a new benchmark in the world of on-
demand printing. It is a networked printing system comprised of multiple modules. The Xerox FreeFlow™
Document Services Platform (FreeFlow™ DocuSP®) is integrated into the Printer Module. The printer
module may be acquired with simplex, letter size / A4 speeds of 100, 120 or 144 impressions per minute.
The optional Scanner Module with 300 sheet input tray scans at 120 images per minute, simplex or duplex
at 600 x 600 dpi. Two Sheet Feed Modules (SFM's) are available, one with 4 trays, the other with 2 trays
having more large-format capacity. An SFM may also be installed after the printer module and used as an
inserter. The Xerox Nuvera™ DPS paper latitude includes coated stocks. The Printer module prints at
4800 x 600 dpi utilizing a state of the art dual beam laser raster output scanner (ROS) with dedicated
image processing hardware. The Finishing Transport Module (FTM) provides the capability to interface
with a variety of production inline document finishing architecture (DFA) finishing devices. The Basic
Finishing Module (BFM) stacks and provides stapling in single or dual positions. Up to two BFM modules
(one a BFM Plus) can be used to enable continuous running with unload while run capability. A BFM Plus
module can also be used in tandem with the FTM to enable inline DFA finishing.
Crucial Performance Expectations
The Xerox Nuvera™ 100/120/144 Digital Production System is a “clean-sheet” design utilizing innovative
technologies. It is the new base platform for Xerox monochrome products.
The following expectations should be explicitly set. Please see the appropriate section of this CED for
further detail.
Availability
The Xerox Nuvera™ 100/120/144 Digital Production System will be available on a monthly average 92
– 95%of the time.
•
Availability is defined as all of the time the machine is not being serviced, or waiting for service.
•
Given similar service coverage, DocuTech® / DocuPrint® availability averages up to 95%.
Power Up takes approximately 1 minute longer to complete than in the previous release (about 6½ to 7
minutes total on the current DocuSP® FreeFlow
TM
Controller (x86)).
Media Capability
• The Xerox Nuvera Digital Production system images on a wide range of both coated and uncoated
papers. Results may vary depending on the paper used. We are pleased to consult with you to help
you maximize your objectives.
• Coated papers less than 80 lb text (120 gsm) may experience degraded performance and are not
recommended for high area coverage, for example, greater than 25%.
• Media capabilities vary with finishing options. Please refer to the System Media Capability table in
this document. (p. 8)
• Reinforced stocks should be limited to 90 sheets loaded in a tray at one time
• Jobs must be run with straight (not reverse) collated tabs.
• Envelopes
![](asset-6.png)
Xerox Nuvera™ 100/120/144 Digital Production System - Customer Expectations Document
- 6 -
Envelopes should be limited to 60 loaded in a tray at one time. Nuvera feeder trays feed until almost
empty but not until empty, leaving 20~40 sheets remaining. When running envelopes frequent
reloading of the feeder trays will be required.
Very slight wrinkles (1/2 inch long) may occur on the trail edge of envelopes at the corners.
Due to the nature of feeding envelopes with flap open, some mis-stacking may occur in the top tray
as the envelopes catch on the open flaps.
Envelopes can only be sent to the Top Tray.
• DocuCards
DocuCards can only be loaded 100 at a time in a tray. Nuvera feeder trays feed until almost empty
but not until empty, leaving 20~40 sheets remaining. When running DocuCards, frequent reloading
of the feeder trays will be required.
DocuCards can only be run to the Top Tray of the finisher. Some mis-stacking may occur as the
DocuCards catch on the edges of the stacked sheets.
When using DocuCards, it is recommended that you use a Tiltatron (available from CAS).
DocuCards are not supported on the Nuvera MX system.
FreeFlow™DocuSP®
• The Token Ring option is no longer natively supported by DocuSP®. Customers requiring Token
Ring connectivity should acquire a Token Ring to Ethernet bridge for their system.
• The PCI Ultra SCSI SE Host Adaptor kit for the QIC and 4mm tape drives used with previous Xerox
Production Systems including the Xerox Nuvera™ 100 and 120 does not work with the Next
Generation FreeFlow™ DocuSP
®
Controller now introduced in all Xerox Nuvera™ Production
Systems. A compatible PCI ULTRA SCSI SE Host Adaptor kit for the Next Generation FreeFlow™
DocuSP
®
Controller is available as an option.
• DFA devices do not support single page offsetting specified within the job or set. Offset at job or set
boundary is supported. Single page job or set will offset.
• There is no floppy drive on Nuvera. Resource loading may be accomplished via the LTO Tape
option, QIC tape or over the network.
• The FreeFlow Print Manager Applet (previously available via clicking on the “Job Submission Applet”
in the Web Browser) is no longer included with the system. Note that the standalone FreeFlow Print
Manger product continues to be available for purchase.
Printer Module
• This is not a print to edge system due to potential image quality defects on the edge of the page.
• Printing on SRA3 can result in inboard and outboard edge image quality defects.
• The Nuvera Digital Production System provides very good support for imaging on pre-printed
materials. However, to obtain best results, please follow the guidelines outlined here:
Design the pre-printed image so that no ink, varnish, or aqueous coating is placed in the area to
be printed on by Nuvera. Toner does not adhere as well to the stock when printing over inks or
varnish. If Nuvera must print over pre-printed ink, results are more likely to be acceptable if the
color is screened back to less than 30%, or an uncoated base stock is used.
Use a laser-compatible printing process for the pre-printed stock. Choose inks, varnishes, and
coatings that are temperature stable and have low levels of petroleum distillates. UV-cured inks
are recommended, to insure complete curing before printing on with Nuvera. Do not use stock
on Nuvera that has been pre-printed on xerographic equipment.
Select base paper stock approved for use on Nuvera (see the Compatible Media List section).
There are other factors that should be taken into account to successfully print on pre-printed stocks.
Refer to the Xerox Nuvera™ DPS Paper Guide, available on Xerox.com, for additional
considerations and performance expectations.

• Coated stocks may exhibit issues such as higher jam rates, smearing, loss of halftone image quality,
mottle, light solid areas, and toner scatter.
• Heavier weight stocks (>220 gsm) may experience toner adherence permanence issues depending
on the type of material being used. Please expect degraded performance with parchments, vellums,
and other very smooth or very rough heavy weight stocks. As always, it is important to verify the
application prior to any production run
• Coated stocks should be used in environmental conditions where the ambient temperature is
between 60° and 72°F and the relative humidity is between 20% and 55%
• Images printed on Mylar tabs are typically degraded by toner scatter.
• Approved stocks can be found in the Compatible Media List in this document
• The MICR system, Xerox Nuvera™ MX, does not support printing on DocuCard, DocuClient, Never-
tear, super-gloss, Teslin and transparencies stocks. It also does not support printing on coated (silk
or gloss) stocks above 140 gsm.
• 8½” x 14” paper is loaded short edge feed and runs at 72 pages per minute simplex on 120 and 144
PPM configurations and runs at 60 pages per minute on a 100 PPM configuration. Refer to the
Printer Module Section for a summary of engine speed for various paper sizes.
• Windowed stock is not supported.
• When feeding paper smaller than 8½” (216mm) in the cross process direction, there may be some
degradation of image quality. It is recommended that the customer test their applications for such
cases.
Inserter Module
• LCDS and IPDS applications are currently not able to pull paper stocks from the Insertion Module.
Finishing Devices
Substrates that tend to exhibit curl when being fed through the Xerox Nuvera™ system can cause
functional problems in the finishing devices. It may be necessary to adjust the manual decurler in order
to get the substrate to become flatter, so that the finishing operation can be successfully completed.
The proper decurler setting will vary depending on the substrate and the ambient environmental
conditions. Paper left opened overnight may exacerbate curl.
Finishing Transport Module (
FTM) with Document Finishing Architecture (DFA) finishing
• The DS5000, Bourg BDFx, and Xerox Square Fold Booklet Maker support a specific range of coated
paper; all other supported inline DFA finishing devices do not support coated paper. Refer to
specific solution planning guides for details.
• Paper latitudes are unique for each inline finishing solution.
• The Xerox SquareFold Booklet Maker Covers Insertion Module (CIM) is not supported for the
SquareFold Booklet Maker. As an alternative, the Inserter Module can be used for covers insertion
except when sending LCDS or IPDS jobs. The Bourg BDFx Booklet Maker with the BCFx Covers
Feeder can be used with LCDS or IPDS jobs that require covers.
• Supported Inline DFA Finishing Solutions are compatible with specific Xerox Nuvera configurations.
Consult finisher module details in this document and, for more details, the Solutions Planning
Guideline for the selected DFA Finishing device. The Finishing Solutions Planning Guides can be
accessed by Xerox sales Reps at http://xww.thefic.xerox.com/dsweb/View/Collection-113169.
Basic Finishing Module (BFM) and Basic Finishing Module (BFM Plus)
• The machine may produce curl that will require intervention with the decurler and the paper supply.
Paper handling within the finisher is best if the paper curl is adjusted to be flat or toward the image
direction. See the User Guide: Problem Solving - Paper Curl, Adjust the Decurler.
• The BFM and BFM Plus do not offset paper sizes larger than 11x17" / A3. This means that 12x18,
12x18.5, SRA3 cannot be offset. For these sizes, software ignores any offset programming
selection.
• For reliable stacking, stack size should be limited for certain jobs:
--Stapled sets of 15 sheets or smaller are limited by machine control to 100 sets.
--Stapled sets of coated stocks stack less well, and should be managed to 50 by the operator.
--Stapled sets should be offset stacked.
--The stack height limit can be operator adjusted.

• Banner and slip sheets should be greater than or equal to 90 gsm (24 lb bond)
• Slip-sheets must be the same size as the body sheets
• When stapling sets with mixed size stock, the stock must be the same dimension in the Across Feed
direction, and the dimension differences should be within 13mm (½”) in the feed direction.
• Drilled paper must be loaded with the holes leading (e.g. to the left) when using two Basic Finishing
Modules.
FreeFlow
Digital Workflow Collection
•
FreeFlow
TM
Makeready, Web Services and Process Manager, versions 4.0 and higher, provide support for
the Xerox Nuvera™ 100/120 DPS; similarly, versions 5.x provide support for the Xerox Nuvera™ 144 DPS
(compatibility support is provided in versions 4.x). Customers with earlier versions of these applications may
need to upgrade since SPAR support will not be available.
New Capabilities with Xerox Nuvera™ System Release 7.0
• Single and dual BFM, or a single BFM bypass to FTM, on the 144 ppm Nuvera configuration. Use of an
insertion module is also supported in such configurations.
• Basic Finishing Module (BFM, BFM Plus) improvements
o Improved stacking quality for small sets (sets with small number of pages in a set)
• The Large Format Sheet Feed Module (comes with 2 trays) can now be used as an insertion module.
• Auto Tray Switching enhancement to match legacy DocuTech/DocuPrint behavior, where when a tray goes
empty and a switch occurs, the new tray is fed from until it needs to be re-filled, instead of only until the
previous tray has been refilled.
• Improved compatibility with legacy DocuPrint NPS products
o Emulation of the NPS Duplex activate/deactivate behavior
o The /setpapertray custom NPS operator command is now ignored; thus jobs are no longer
faulted when this command is encountered
o Addition of new 2-sided media attribute setting conflict handling choice of applying side 1
attributes to the side 2 page (existing choices include move side 2 image to next page and apply
side 2 attributes to side 1)
o NPS background forms support enhancements, enabling the choice of using legacy NPS
created forms or DocuSP forms from previous releases. Also included is an NPS form migration
capability.
o Support for resource based scheduling of jobs based on the %%DocumentMedia command,
preventing NPS jobs from running if all specified required media is not present
• LCDS support enhancements
o Inclusion of completion codes on the LCDS accounting sheet
o System Backup and Restore support for tape drives
o Support for LTO-2 tape drives
o DJDE stapling enablement for each individual report within the job
• IPDS support enhancement
o User selection of the half-tone screens available on Nuvera
o Margin settings can be set by media
• PCL support enhancement
o Support for Output Bin Selection command
• Hot Folders -
Provides a general hot folder submission mechanism for data streams (PDF, PS, PCL, TIFF,
VIPP and VIPP Projects are supported), including optional submission of XPIF job tickets.
• Addition of version control to the accounting CSV reports, such that customers can choose which version of
the “Record Layout Definition” (CSV) file format to use when exporting the accounting data

Maximum Duty Cycle: Up to 3.7 million prints per month with the Xerox Nuvera™ 144.
Duty Cycle is defined as:
The maximum recommended monthly copy / print volume support under standard vendor supplied
service (3 x 7 shift coverage). This defines the upper end of expected customer volume band for the
device.
The Customer should consider higher volume machines or multiple machines if average monthly
volume approaches Duty Cycle on a constant basis.
Prints between service calls on a digital Xerox Nuvera™ DPS are dependent on customer
requirements for volume, applications, and throughput material. Specific customer requirements for
Image Quality may further impact the number of service calls. Xerox Nuvera™ trained operators can
optimize performance output and minimize service calls.

System Configuration and Installation
Installation Preparation Document
This section should be used in conjunction with the Xerox Nuvera™ 100/120/144 Digital Production
System Installation Planning Guide (IPG), the Xerox Nuvera™ 100/120/144 Digital Production
System Installation Preparation Document (IPD), and the supported inline DFA Finishing Device
Solution Planning Guide, which contain detailed specifications for size, weight, electric, and
environmental conditions. Only the most important requirements are stated here.
Customer Responsibilities
The following must be completed before system delivery and will be assessed in the final site check:
Item Comments
Identify placement of the system
Ensure the printer can be delivered to the
site
Supply the appropriate electrical connections Dedicated power required
Install an exhaust duct to vent hot air to the
air system or the outside if required
Heat vent kit is available. The kit lowers the system’s
output from approximately 18,700 BTU/hour to 8,500
BTU/hr.
Install a network drop for Internet access Automatic upload of data for remote diagnostics
Verify the strength and slope of the floor
Meet room Environmental Specifications for
temperature and relative humidity year round
This is essential to the system’s ability to perform as
expected; Xerox will not be able to resolve
performance problems encountered when the area is
not maintained within this operating range.
Connect system to network including proxy
server information

Availability
As with any other printing process, you will not plan production to the raw speed of the printer.
Your Xerox Nuvera™ 100/120/144 Digital Production System will be available to you on a monthly
average 92% to 95% of the time.
•
Availability is defined, as all the time the machine is not being serviced or waiting for service by
Xerox.
•
Given similar service coverage, DocuTech® / DocuPrint® availability averages up to 95%.
Although the service call rate may exceed current DocuTech® products in the same speed range,
overall system availability will become comparable.
Planning for volume requires taking many factors into account in addition to printer availability. These
factors include pre-press workflow efficiency, job type and client expectations, use of qualified stocks,
daily volume and number of jobs, job mix, area coverage, adherence to environmental specifications,
and operator expertise and attention to procedures.

Power Up 6½ to 7 minutes
If the environment does drift outside the
specified range during the systems powered
down state, some period of image degradation
can be expected at startup.
First Copy Out
Time (FCOT) 7.5 seconds Copy job sent to the top tray; platen scan,
simplex job, 8.5 x 11 LEF fed from tray 1.
First Print Out
Time (FPOT) 9.5 seconds.
Printer should not cycle down as long as it
receives an image to print within 5 seconds of
completing the previous sheet.
Restart Time 5 minutes
Billing Meters Available via the Administration
window.
Vary by operating company / country; ask local
analyst or sales representative to explain your
meter operation.
Automated reading of the billing meter is
available, if Remote Services are enabled.
Print Quality
Adjustments
Automatic, brief pauses for registration or
xerographic process adjustments to
maintain high image quality
Mixed Plex
Printing
Switching between one-sided and two-
sided printing does cause some loss of
productivity. The extent of the loss is
directly related to the frequency of the
switch.
When producing collated sets run 1 to N, the
system already optimizes performance. In
other cases, adding a blank side to the job can
minimize impact, but the sheet is billed.
Supplies and Component Yields
The consumable supplies listed below are engineered specifically for use in the Xerox Nuvera™
100/120/144 Digital Production System and provide the highest and most consistent image quality,
maximum machine productivity, and uptime.
All yield estimates are based on the indicated 6% area coverage at standardized conditions using 8 ½”
x 11” / A4 Xerox 20 lb. bond (75 gsm) stock. Please note that actual yields vary greatly depending on
area coverage, paper stock, and image quality control settings. The current estimates are shown
below.

Program.
Xerox Productivity Plus (XPP)
The XPP option provides capability for the advanced customer to carry out certain maintenance activities.
Before this capability can be enabled at a customer location, the customer personnel who will be performing
maintenance need to be trained and certified by Xerox. Training is delivered in two phases. Each phase is one
day of training. Customers may elect to participate only in phase one or in both phases. Phase 1 training
covers use of diagnostic routines, photoreceptor removal and replacement, and power supply filter
replacement. Phase 2 covers fuser and corotrons. A manual and tool kit is provided with the training. Specific
parts will be provided as on-site inventory.
prInteract (formerly Remote Services)
The Xerox Nuvera™ Digital Production System is enabled with Remote Service features, including Automated
Remote Monitoring and On Demand Machine Data Transfer. Remote Services provides the ability for the
Xerox Nuvera™ Digital Production System to securely transport the device’s service and engineering data to a
Xerox support server within Xerox’s firewalled environment. Data is transported through the network using
industry standard 128-bit encryption and Secure Socket Layer (SSL) transport protocols.
Enablement of Remote Data Transfer requires two steps:
• Populating of the customer’s machine serial number into the Xerox server. This occurs at order placement
if the customer selects the CONNECT option.
• Installing the customer’s proxy server or Firewall information address on the machine. (Reference the
System Administration Guide for details.)
To sign up for Meter Assistant, customers or Sales Specialists should visit xerox.com: Customer Resources:
Submit Meter Reads for more information.
Kit Limitations
The Foreign Device Interface (FDI) kit and the Removable Hard drive kit cannot be installed on the same
system.

Compatible Media List
The media listed on the following pages have been tested and approved for use in the Xerox Nuvera™
DPS (when using a supported Inline DFA Finishing device, please refer to the individual Inline DFA
Finishing Device Solution Planning Guide for a list of supported media types).
The Xerox Nuvera™ Digital Production system images on a wide range of both coated and uncoated
papers. Results may vary depending on the paper used. We are pleased to consult with you to help
you maximize your objectives.
Coated stocks should be used in environmental conditions where the ambient temperature is between
60° and 72°F and the relative humidity is between 20% and 55%. Coated stocks may exhibit issues
such as higher jam rates, smearing, loss of halftone image quality, mottle, light solid areas, and toner
scatter. Optimized printing may not be possible across the entire weight range of coated papers.
Coated stocks under 120gsm may exhibit degraded performance - avoid any images with greater
than 25% toner area coverage and dark images along the lead edge of sheets; also, machine to
machine variation and tolerance stack ups may result in successful performance on one machine
and not another.
Successful printing on pre-printed stocks is dependent upon many factors. Additional information and
performance expectations are provided in the Xerox Nuvera™ DPS Paper Guide.
The Xerox Supplies Group will be available to test particular media in a customer’s application.
For more information about media, please see the Xerox Nuvera™ Digital Production System Paper
Guide available at www.xerox.com.
For information regarding specific substrates use in the Xerox Nuvera™ DPS, please call Xerox
Supplies at (800) 822-2200.
For More Information and Pricing contact your Xerox Supplies Representative, authorized Xerox merchant, or

Product Specifications Overview by Sub-System
The following sections give more detailed descriptions of the capabilities and limitations of each of the
major system components.
FreeFlow Makeready, Web Services
and Process Manager
Version 5.0 of FreeFlow Makeready, Web Services and
Process Manager is available and provides support for
Xerox Nuvera™ 100/120/144 Digital Production System
image quality and job ticketing, as well as IQI (Image Quality Interoperability).
Customers with earlier versions of these FreeFlow applications may need to upgrade since SPAR
support will not be available.
Early versions of DigiPath (4.0 or below) have not and will not be changed to support the Xerox
Nuvera™ 100/120 Digital Production System as a “targeted device.” Similarly, DigiPath version 4.1 or
FreeFlow versions prior to 5.0 will not be changed to support the Nuvera 144 Digital Production system
as a “targeted device”.
DigiPath customers with software releases prior to 4.1 may be provided a “best case” print path utilizing
an existing supported printer to optimize image quality.
• When scanning with the “Document Scan and Makeready” application, best Image Quality results
will be achieved using “Generic Write White” when submitting from DigiPath.
• When scanning with the “Scan and Print” application, best Image Quality results will be achieved
using “DT75/90” when submitting from DigiPath.
• When Image Quality is not a primary concern, select the DT6180 printer when submitting a job for
the most comprehensive set of Job Ticket Attributes.
Jobs sent from these DigiPath units will have to be held and re-programmed to ensure correct job
attributes.

VIPP (Variable Data Intelligent PostScript Printware)
FreeFlow Variable Information (VI) Suite
The FreeFlow VI Software Suite provides a variable data software suite with focus on VIPP (Variable data
Intelligent Postscript Printware) - a Xerox technology building on the power of postscript with the goal of a
powerful Variable Data solution that can make document creation as simple as just sending the data. Print
shop operators and supervisors can also easily print variable data applications in electronic format, as PDF
files, with the VI PDF Originator.
Print Speed/System Performance
In general, the Xerox Nuvera™ 100/120/144 is capable of efficiently handling variable data jobs. The total time
consumed to print a variable data job will vary as a function of variable coverage and element demographics
(size and percentage of variable text vs. images/graphics).
Overall, system performance (click-to-clunk) is dependent upon many factors, including the variable data
application and workflow, network environment, image quality settings, and RIP and print rates. Under certain
circumstances, use of large, high-resolution images printed page-to-page in variable data applications will
degrade RIP performance, in some cases to a degree which may affect system throughput.
Variable Information Software Limitations
Note: The following limitations are specific to variable information, which may not be inclusive of the entire
system independent of whether a job includes variable data.
FreeFlow VI Interpreter
Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF)
PDF cannot be used as a direct input resource for the VI Interpreter. Direct printing of PDF files within
a VIPP workflow is not supported. PDF files can be converted to PostScript (using an Adobe compliant
driver) and the VIPP Resource Converter or other third party PDF to PostScript converter. PostScript
is an input resource supported by the VI Interpreter.
The VI PDF Originator component of the VI Suite can output intelligent, interactive PDF files directly
from a VIPP data file. For more information on the capabilities of the VI PDF Originator, contact your
Xerox representative.
Support for VIPP may also be obtained by contacting the Variable Information and Solutions Services
Group (VISSG). Customers may call (888) 550-6336.

Maximum Paper Size & Maximum Image Size
The maximum paper size that can be placed on the platen is 12.6” x 18.5” / 320mm x 470mm. The
maximum image size, however, is 12.0” x 18.0” / 305mm x 457mm.
Color
This is not a color scanner.
Scan-to-Email
There is no “scan-to-email” feature for this product.
Input Document substrates
Document substrates that are not recommend for use in the SDDF include envelopes, metallic cover
stock, transparencies, label stock, silver photographic paper, tab stock, Never Tear (or other
manufacturers’ equivalent), and those substrates whose intrinsic characteristics limit or prevent the
separation of documents with friction-retard feeding mechanisms without causing mis-feeds, multi-
feeds, jams or document damage.
Carbonless paper
Carbonless paper passed through the document feeder may be subject to marking in areas where the
document feeder’s paper handling elements come in contact with the carbonless stock due to the
“marking characteristics” of this stock. In extreme cases, this unintended marking could obscure
information from the page being reproduced.
Hole punched paper
The SDDF may not reliably feed GBC and similar type documents without damage to the original and
without geometric errors (skew or mis-registration). The workaround for GBC, spiral-bound and
similarly punched papers is to rotate the documents to feed the unbound edge first, and then rotate the
image.
File Size Limitation
Files saved as Multi-page TIFF are limited to 2GB in size. This limit may be reached after a few
hundred images if the scanned originals contain many images and are scanned at 1200 x 1200
resolution.

Digital Front End (DFE) - FreeFlow™ DocuSP®
FreeFlow™ DocuSP® Workflow
The workflow is developed around the Xerox
FreeFlow™ Document Services Platform (FreeFlow™
DocuSP®) technology, a very stable technology that
has been developed over the years and installed in
thousands of Xerox devices worldwide. This will allow
training simplicity for current FreeFlow™ DocuSP®
operators.
The FreeFlow™ DocuSP® controls all aspects of the
system – scanning, “ripping,” and printing. It is an intuitive, easy-to-use digital front-end driven by the
graphical user interface (GUI).
Control electronics are located in an integrated tower on the unit, not in a separate server – saving
valuable floor space. They are easily accessible if service is required and have been architected to be
replaced and upgraded if newer technology would improve system performance.
Xerox Nuvera™ System Release 7.0 incorporates DocuSP® release 5.1 SP1.
Key features of FreeFlow™ DocuSP® include:
• Scan/Copy: scan ahead and program ahead capability; save and job edit capability.
• Printer Management: Ability to manage paper supply and printer attributes.
•
Raster image processing (RIP) services: Supports multiple datastreams; PostScript, PDF, ASCII,
PCL, TIFF, PPML, LCDS and IPDS
•
Graphical User Interface:
Provides the user interface to manage various print shop operations;
such as setting up and monitoring: queues, jobs management, administering security and
accounting features, controlling the production process like the ability to manage paper supply and
printer attributes.
• Disk Overwrite: This feature is intended for the high security environments that not only want files
deleted after use, they want them erased, permanently. This implementation uses algorithms
recommended by the Department of Defense (DOD) to ensure complete erasure of all information.
The Disk Overwrite feature is based on the current FreeFlow™ DocuSP® data overwrite feature. In
addition to data overwrite on FreeFlow™ DocuSP® disk partitioning, the function is also applied to
all the other disks in the product including the image disk for copy, and print transient images.
• DocuTech® Emulation Mode: This feature will simulate the image quality of the Xerox
DocuTech® 61XX product and is useful when a reproduction facility splits a job among more than
one output device and requires the appearance of the output from multiple printers to look similar.
This feature is also used when reprinting previously saved DocuTech® 61XX family jobs on the
Xerox Nuvera™ 100/120 Digital Copier/Printer.
• Security:
Transport Layer Security (TLS)/Secure Socket Layer (SSL): When submitting a job from a Web
UI, FreeFlow™ Print Manager or the IPP client, invoking this feature will prevent unauthorized
interception of the job by encrypting the data sent over the network.
BAA Authentication: When enabled, this feature requires users to provide a valid username and
password before being able to access the Web UI interface.
IP Filtering: This feature controls the built-in-firewall, allowing the system administrator to restrict
network access to the system based on the originating IP address. The restriction applies to the
following print submission protocols: LPR, IPP, HTTP, HTTPS, SMB Printing, Raw TCP Printing,
FTP.
Microsoft ADS Authentication: When enabled, a user will be able to authenticate by means of
locally managed user accounts as well as possess the ability to log on locally using an account
defined in a Microsoft ADS domain.

• Set up Instructions for Scan To File with NFS (Network File System) can be found in the Xerox
Nuvera™ Digital Production Systems Hints & Tips.
Productivity Impacts
There are several factors that can affect the performance of the system RIP speed when processing print jobs.
The following is a list of common situations that negatively can impact throughput.
• The default print resolution of the system is 1200 dpi. 600 dpi printing may be adequate for your needs, so
you can try setting that resolution to improve RIP performance of complex 1200 dpi jobs. 1200 dpi results
in 4 times the internal image data of a comparable 600 dpi image that has to be transferred through the
system. When the print resolution is changed from 1200 to 600 dpi, the stroke thickening value may also
need to be changed from 1 to 0 to avoid excessive line thickening.
• It is common to embed logos and watermarks in submitted print files. These are typically bitmap images
that when embedded in a print stream (such as PostScript) can take a long time to process. Note also that
resolution selections (e.g. 600 dpi vs. 1200 dpi) can have a significant further impact to processing of
these types of embedded images. Consider the design of documents and impacts to printing speed in
such cases. There are methods available, through PostScript for example, to cache these embedded
images, process them once, and retain them as a resource for application on each page without having to
render and scale them for each page. Refer to your PostScript reference manuals and DocuSP reference
manuals for information about caching.
• Submission of multiple TIFF images simultaneously is a common application. There are several batch
printing tools available on the market that enable this and most require the selection of a print driver for the
target printer that these images files are submitted through. In these cases, the TIFF files are converted to
a Printer Description Language (PDL, such as PostScript) by the batch tool by using the printer driver and
then submitted to the printer, which in turn RIP that PDL and re-render the TIFF bitmap images back into
bitmaps. This is an inefficient process and can significantly slow the machine down. Xerox Nuvera
includes a native TIFF interpreter and it can process TIFF files sent to it directly. Some of the batch tools
on the market support a native TIFF submission capability. It may be referred to as a bypass mode or
![](asset-1c.png)
Xerox Nuvera™ 100/120/144 Digital Production System - Customer Expectations Document
- 28 -
something similar. If such a capability is available, the Xerox Nuvera's performance can be significantly
improved by taking advantage of that. (Note that the TIFF interpreter does not automatically determine the
embedded image size and apply it to an appropriate paper size. You can accomplish though by using
printer and queue defaults programming)
LCDS and IPDS
LCDS Print Description Language
The Xerox LCDS Print Description Language (PDL) is a set of commands that you give to the
printing system to define properties such as the appearance, output destination, and paper feed
source for your LCDS print job. You can use LCDS PDL to do all of the following in your print jobs:
• Change and mix font types on a page-to-page, line to line, or character-to-character basis. This
allows you to customize printed output for specific needs; for example, emphasizing important
headings by changing font styles and sizes.
• Change text orientation and positioning on a page-to-page basis. This allows you to print
characters along the width or length of the page with equal ease. The printing system can
switch instantly, at a page boundary, between portrait (tall and narrow) and landscape (wide)
page formats, combining the two styles within a single report.
• Print a number of previously separate logical pages on the same physical page of a document.
• Modify documents on a page to page basis by using copy modification entries (CME's) to
replace selected portions of text with other data, change fonts, or label copies, e.g. as
"confidential."
• Merge variable print data with forms stored on the system disk. This feature eliminates the
need for forms overlays and most preprinted forms, as well as assuring perfect registration.
• Print two different forms back to back (duplex) on one sheet of paper, thereby reducing paper
costs. Additionally, this option offers potential savings in inventory, filing, storage, and mailing
costs for computer generated material.
• Feed paper either short edge first or long edge first to accommodate a variety of paper sizes.
The following are known key limitations specific to LCDS on Nuvera DPS systems. A more
complete set is provided in the Nuvera Hints and Tips document.
• Print on Edge (versus print to edge) is not supported.
• There is no floppy drive on Nuvera; resource loading via LTO Tape or QIC tape is
recommended. Alternatively, resources can be sent over the network by ftp to the controller (or
a UNIX file system) and imported from the file system to DocuSP. Importing from a NFS
mounted directory can also be performed if the resources are already relocated to that directory.
• The TMODE command is ignored as the system always performs at optimum throughput.
Please refer to the following documentation for additional information
• Using LCDS Page Description Language – Generic 701P42242
• LPS Migration Guide. Request copy of Migration Guides from your Xerox Systems Analyst.

IPDS Print Description Language
The DocuSP IPDS gateway supports the Intelligent Printer Data Stream as defined by IBM. The IPDS
DataStream performs printer control functions as well as sharing job status information back to the host.
It is configured by means of a GUI, featuring drop-down menus, tabs, and icons from which to manage the
DocuSP IPDS functions. DocuSP IPDS supports the TCP/IP and online channel interfaces.
The following are known key caveats specific to IPDS on Nuvera DPS systems. A full set of caveats and
limitations are provided in the Nuvera Hints and Tips document.
• DocuSP IPDS currently supports the following environments only:
♦ MVS with PSF
♦ OS/400 with PSF/400 (TCP/IP connectivity only)
♦ AIX with InfoPrint Manager
♦ InfoPrint Manager / Windows
♦ Emtex VIP
Even in these opened environments, application validation is a requirement prior to installation. Other
host types and 3rd party solutions are under evaluation and will be become available as validations are
completed.
• Sample current job is not supported for IPDS jobs. The IPDS host presumes full control over the job’s

currently only supports this capability at the Printer Manager level, and is not able to set this capability
for individual jobs or queues. Therefore, the DocuSP GUI does not prevent selecting Sample Current

provided.
• DocuPrint IPS 7.x Input Groups and 8.x Virtual Printer Media Lists cannot be imported into DocuSP
IPDS. DocuSP IPDS Job Setups must be recreated.
• The IPS Manager is not automatically informed when physical tray contents are changed at the DocuSP
printer manager. Instead, you must use the Refresh mechanism provided by the IPDS Tray/Bin
Mappings dialog to display the latest mapping information.
• DocuSP Remote Workflow (DRW) does not support the IPS Manager.
• IPDS jobs cannot be deleted or canceled from the DocuSP Job Manager GUI. Instead, it is necessary
to cancel the current IPDS job using the “Cancel Incoming Job” button on the IPS Manager GUI. Note
that this action is made easier now with the ‘Restart IPDS Processing’ option (a DocuSP restart is no
longer required).

COMMENTS
• Auto tray switching & Load while run capability are supported. Do not open trays when the “Drawer in Use”
light is lit.
• Statement tabs and A5 tabs are not supported.
• Paper handling reliability of coated papers is reduced below 120 gsm.
• Trays do not feed to empty. When a feeder empty message is displayed,
there could be as much as 80 sheets of stock remaining in the feeder tray
(based on 20lb. bond / 75 gsm). This is to maintain the best possible reliability
in the feeder mechanisms.
• The use of Xerox media as listed in this document is recommended. Because
there is a difference in technology between offset and digital printing, there is
a difference in media properties required for optimum performance with each
technology. Xerox papers and specialty media are digitally optimized (paper
specs - smoothness, formation, electrical properties, etc., for optimal image
quality, toner adhesion and performance, and also precision sheeted - less
contamination, better registration for use in Xerox digital equipment.
• Two feed modules in tandem may be installed on the input side of the printer.

SPECIAL STOCKS
Carbonless
Xerox Carbonless Papers as listed in this document are the only recommended carbonless media. Only
simplex printing is supported on this stock type. Running carbonless paper may require additional cleaning
time by the CSE during service of the machine. This time will vary based on the percentage of carbonless
stock run. In the 100% carbonless usage case, service time could be up to 60 additional minutes per
service call at 150,000 prints
DocuCards®
DocuCards® can only be loaded 100 at a time in a tray. Nuvera feeder trays feed until almost empty but
not until empty, leaving 20~40 sheets remaining. When running DocuCards®, frequent reloading of the
feeder trays will be required.
DocuCards® can only be run to the Top Tray of the finisher. Some mis-stacking may occur as the
DocuCards® catch on the edges of the stacked sheets®.
When using DocuCards, it is recommended that you use a Tiltatron (available from CAS).
DocuCards are not supported on the Nuvera MX system.
Reinforced stocks
Reinforced stocks such as Mylar tabs should be limited to 90 loaded in a tray
at one time.
Transparencies
The tray capacity for removable stripe transparencies is 90 sheets. There is no
constraint for feeding painted striped transparencies or stripeless
transparencies.
Tab Jobs
Running tabs requires proper use of the supplied Tab Guides.
Jobs should be run with straight collated tabs.
Tab stock sizes supported are: Letter, 9” x 11,” 9.5” x 11”, A4
Envelopes
Envelopes should be limited to 60 loaded in a tray at one time. Nuvera feeder
trays feed until almost empty but not until empty, leaving 20~40 sheets
remaining. When running envelopes frequent reloading of the feeder trays will
be required.
Very slight wrinkles (1/2 inch long) may occur on the trail edge of envelopes at the corners.
Due to the nature of feeding envelopes with flap open, some mis-stacking may occur in the top tray as the
envelopes catch on the open flaps
Envelopes should be sent to the Top Tray only.
Inserter Module (IM)
The specifications for the Inserter Module are the same as for the SFMs. Either the 4-tray SFM or the 2-tray
Large Format SFM can be used as an inserter. One inserter may be installed on the output side of the
printer.
COMMENTS
• LCDS and IPDS applications are currently not able to pull paper stocks from the Insertion Module.

Xerox Nuvera™ 100/120/144 Digital
Production System Comment
Image Uniformity
The Xerox Nuvera™ 100/120/144
Digital Production System is designed
to render tints with a high degree of
uniformity, and produce vignettes,
sweeps and gradients that are smooth
and even.
Sophisticated design prevents
unwanted process speed variations
that plague lesser digital printing
systems with banding problems.
Halftoning algorithms and customized
halftone dot designs take full
advantage of the printer’s high
addressability imaging system to
render incredibly sharp, detailed
images.
The most discriminating judges
of print quality may occasionally
perceive a degree of mottle in
large uniform flat tints.
Extremely high humidity, low
document area coverage or
papers with poor formation can
exacerbate mottle.
If excellent uniformity is required,
controlling environmental factors
or an accelerated maintenance
rate can usually satisfy
demanding customers.
Text Quality Black text quality is excellent for sizes as small
as 4 point.
Line Quality
The Xerox Nuvera™ 100/120/144 Digital
Production System can print solid lines all the
way down to 70 microns.
Area Coverage
The Xerox Nuvera™ 100/120/144
Digital Production System uses nested
automated controls of dry ink,
development, tone reproduction, and
the internal environment to assure
consistent printing. These closed loop
process controls continuously test
against the targets and adjust as
required.
The control system is designed to run
within a specific range of quality.
Although some variation may be
noticeable in specific cases, the closed
loop controls will typically deliver very
acceptable quality, consistently,
predictably, and without operator
intervention.
Mylar tabs Images printed on Mylar tabs typically show
degradation due to toner scatter.
Other artifacts
As with any printing process, artifacts will occur
on the Xerox Nuvera™ 100/120/144 Digital
Production System. These include streaks,
mottle, banding, spots and edge deletions. For
most jobs and clients, the expected level of
artifacts is within the normal operational and
component quality ranges of the system and will
not affect the acceptability of the job.
Maintenance procedures are available
to mitigate these artifacts. Artifact-
sensitive jobs should be monitored.
Using stocks on the Recommended
Media List and maintaining your
environment will also help to minimize
the occurrence of these artifacts.

Printer Module Capabilities
• Print to Edge
This is not a print to edge system due to potential image quality defects on the edge of the page.
The system default is set to 3 mm border erase. The border erase can be set to 0 mm, but the
printer is subject to image quality limitations - which may be acceptable for some applications.
Some non-standard and custom paper sizes may have a larger border region where image quality
cannot be optimized.
• SRA3 Printing
Printing on SRA3 can result in inboard and outboard edge image quality defects. The defects can
range from slight mottle to high contrast deletions depending on the type and condition of the
substrate being printed on. The reason for this is that the Transfer Assist Blade does not completely
extend to the edges of SRA3 substrates. The blade does not make contact with the last 14mm at
both the inboard and outboard edges of SRA3 substrates.
• Area Coverage
The system is capable of continuous printing of pages up to 33% area coverage. When documents
that exceed 33% area coverage per page are continuously printed, the customer may notice that
the system does not print at the rated speed.
• Xerographic Color Prints
Xerographic color originals cannot be run through the fuser.

System Compatibility
There are two models: the BFM has a top tray (also know as purge tray); the BFM Plus includes a bypass
transport over the stacker
Both the BFM and the BFM Plus may be installed to enable continuous running with unload-while-run.
If one of these modules is the only installed finisher, it must be BFM (with the top tray).
A single BFM Plus may be installed if connected to a downstream FTM to add supported inline DFA finishing
BFM / BFM Plus Operation
Continuous operation with unload while run is fully supported with a BFM and BFM Plus installation. When a
stacker is full or not ready (e.g. out of staples) the system can auto switch to another available stacker.
Unloads can be configured to occur automatically at stacker limit, at job boundaries, at set or
partition boundaries, or can be initiated manually via the Stacker Unload button or the GUI. A stacker's limit
can be configured to any value between 200 and 3000 and each BFM stacker can be configured
independently and differently. If desired, operators can also program jobs to specific stacker destinations.
Bypass via BFM Plus
Bypass to a downstream finishing device is a capability of the BFM Plus

Output
• Paper sizes supported to the main tray (stapled and unstapled):
Process direction - 7.0 to 18.5 in. (178 mm to 470 mm)
Cross Process direction - 8.0 to 12 in. (203 mm to 305 mm)
• Smaller sizes (down to A5 and Statement) or larger sizes (including SRA3) can be run to the top tray.
• Mixed sized output allows stacking of different size pages, both in the process and cross-process
direction, in a single job.
• When stapling sets with mixed size stock, the stock must be the same dimension in the Across Feed
direction, and the dimension differences should be within 13mm (½”) in the feed direction.
• To have the BFM staple correctly, the output must be 1-N facedown.
• Envelopes can only be sent open flap trailing to the Top Tray, and should be limited to 15, or mis-
stacking may occur.
• The BFM / BFM Plus does not offset paper sizes larger than 11”x17" / A3. This means that 12”x18”,
12x18.5”, SRA3 cannot be offset. For these sizes, the software ignores any offset programming
selection, and runs without offsetting.
• Banner and slip sheets should be greater than or equal to 90 gsm (24 lb bond)
• Slip-sheets must be the same size as the body sheets
• Stapler capacity is reduced for coated papers and paper heavier than 20 lb. bond (75 gsm).
• For reliable stacking, stack size should be limited for certain jobs:
--Offset single sheet jobs should be limited to 100 sheets. (20 lb bond or 75 gsm)
--Stapled sets of 15 sheets or smaller are limited by machine control to 100 sets.
--Stapled sets of coated stocks stack less well, and should be managed to 50 by the operator.
--Stapled sets should be offset stacked.
--The stack height limitation can be operator adjusted.
• Automatic bin limits control the number of sheets collected and compiled in the finisher when running
unfinished sets to optimize the set drop performance and improve job recovery.
Tabs
The tabs cross process length must be the same as the body of the document. The tab can be no longer
than 0.5” (13mm) in the process direction beyond the body of the document. Tabs sized for use with 8.5” x
11” and A4 stock, long edge feed, are supported
Transparencies
Transparencies run to the stacker must have a slip-sheet between each one.
Stapling
• The BFM is delivered with a 5000 staple cartridge of 100-sheet staples installed in each of the two
staplers.
• Staples for up to 30 sheets and for up to 100 sheets are available. Stapled jobs over 100 sheets are
inhibited. The machine does not detect staple size. The operator must manage jobs to be within
capability of the loaded staple size.
• Some marking of the staple onto an adjacent set may be seen.
• Not all stapler failure modes are detected by the machine logic. The customer may find some
occurrence of unstapled sets in the output.
Decurler
• The machine may produce curl that will require intervention with the decurler and the paper supply.
Paper handling within the BFM is best if the paper curl is adjusted to be flat or toward the image
direction. See the User Guide: Problem Solving - Paper Curl, Adjust the Decurler (located on
Xerox.com).
Carbonless
• In the DPS BFM configuration, curl that faces up poses more of a problem than curl that faces down.
To avoid up curl, 2, 3 and 4 part Carbonless should be run to the BFM in an N to1 mode and use
reverse collated versions of the recommended Xerox media. See compatible media tables in this
document.

GBC Fusion Punch II with
Offset Stacker
The GBC Fusion Punch ll provides inline printer
punching combining printing and punching into one
step. Single sheets are punched and emerge ready to
be finished into lay flat documents. These types of
documents are typically bound with coil, wire or plastic
comb binding and will lay flat when opened.
A wide variety of hole punch patterns are available.
The die sets are lightweight and do not require setup
adjustment time when changed. The operator can easily replace them. The attached stacker can offset stack
up to 2,500 sheets preparing each document for immediate binding. The Fusion Punch II can also be
equipped with an optional Bypass Stacker. This allows the operator to empty one stacker while the other
stacker is in use.
A Finisher Transport Module is required for in-line connectivity to the printer.

Xerox DB120-D Document Binder
The Document Binder DB120-D uses a unique thermal binding technology
combined with pre-formed covers to create a high quality professionally
bound document. The DB120-D binds 8.5” x 11” or A4 documents up to
120 pages in a variety of attractive covers. You can custom order
imprinted covers with your logo or a particular design. The pre-formed
cover wraps around the internal pages to produce a perfect bound
document with a commercial look and feel. The document pages fit neatly
and uniformly into the bind for the perfect bound look with no trimming
needed. The usability improves due to the hinged spine scoring which
allows pages to lie flat when opened. The book binding adhesive is
reinforced with a special mesh/cloth material to ensure a strong, consistent bind
with no mess or oozing.
A Finisher Transport Module is required for in-line connectivity to the printer.
A BFM Plus or a Xerox Document Stacker 5000 is highly recommended for stacking capability.

Xerox Manual and Book Factory
The Xerox Manual + Book Factory (MBF) is comprised of the:
• C.P. Bourg BBF2005 – perfect binder
• C.P. Bourg BBR – out feed conveyor for the BBF2005
• C.P. Bourg BBF2005 Input – input module for the BBF2005
• C.P. Bourg BPRF – perforate, rotate, fold module (optional)
• Challenge CMT-330 – three-side trimmer (optional)
• C.P. Bourg BDFx (with optional peripherals BCFx, SQEDG, and Gateway) – booklet maker (currently
not available with Nuvera)
Documents flow directly from the Xerox printer to the MBF without the bottleneck associated with the traditional
offline binding process. The CP Bourg BBF2005 Perfect Binder and BPRF module match the output speed of
the digital production press.
The CP Bourg Perforate, Rotate, Fold (BPRF) module receives the printed sheet of paper from the printer and
immediately perforates the sheet with a micro-perforation across it center. The sheet is then turned 90
o
and
folded on the perforation. The printed, perforated and folded paper then exits the BPRF and enters the
accumulating section (input section) of the Bourg Perfect Binder BBF2005. This process enables productive,
cost effective 2-up duplex signature printing.
The CP Bourg BBF 2005 Perfect Binder is the integrated perfect binder that produces professionally finished
books quickly and easily. The Perfect Binder compiles the pages (book block) from the BPRF, jogs the pages
into position and then vibrates them into alignment. The pages are clamped together and run across a milling
station, which roughs the spine edge for superior adhesive adherence. After the adhesive is applied, the book
block is moved to the cover mounting station. The cover is registered, applied in precise position, clamped to the
book block and delivered to the output tray.
The BBF2005 perfect binder dynamically senses the thickness of the book block during the clamping operation,
making it ideal for printing short runs of books with varying thickness. The book is then ready to be trimmed. As
an option, the Book Factory can also be equipped with an inline trimmer, the Challenge CMT-330. The CMT 330
is a three-side trimmer designed for the on-demand printing environment. It features full digital control of the
trimming process - servomotors control all adjustments normally done by hand with a traditional trimmer.
A Finisher Transport Module is required for in-line connectivity to the printer.
Please refer to theXerox Book Factory Solutions Planning Guide for further site planning information,
system dependencies, limitations, valid configurations and device specifications.

Production System Output
The following post-process characteristics and usages for Xerox Nuvera™ output have been evaluated.
Item Xerox Nuvera™ 100/120/144
Digital Production System Comment
Permanence Xerographic prints are as permanent as the
paper on which they are printed.
The U.S. Patent Office accepts xerographic
prints as permanent records.
Overprint in
xerographic printer
Prints cannot be successfully fed through a
xerographic printer for overprinting.
Any product with a wax-based fusing system
would produce the same result.
Overprint in ink jet
printer
Prints can be successfully overprinted on
an ink jet printer, depending on the area
coverage of the print and the wetting
characteristics of the ink. Wetting issues
are most likely when printing over an area
of high dry ink coverage. They may be
resolved by selecting a different setting on
the ink jet printer to affect the amount of ink
printed or the speed of printing.
