Xerox EX C60/C70 Print Server v2.0


Because the investment horizon for a new digital printing system is from three to
five years, it’s always good to consider both current and future needs of your print
™ ®
environment when deciding on a new digital printing system. EFI offers two Fiery
®
server platforms for the Xerox Color C60/C70 Printer— the external Xerox EX C60/C70
Print Server version 2.0 and embedded Xerox EX-i C60/C70 Print Server version 2.0
These two server platforms vary by the level of PDF processing controls, automation,
productivity, workflow integration and expandability they offer.
This document helps you understand the benefits of an external Fiery server, how it
meets your current needs and how it offers built-in flexibility for future growth.

Xerox EX C60/C70 Print Server only: Standard features


The Xerox EX C60/C70 Print Server comes with standard features that add productivity, quality and new services
to your production environment. These features are not available on the Xerox EX-i C60/C70 Print Server.

1. Faster turnaround times 207%


To maximize your engine capacity, you need a high-powered digital front end to process
and drive data fast enough to minimize engine idle time. More robust and powerful hardware 100%
specifications make the Xerox EX C60/C70 Print Server twice as fast compared to the Xerox
EX-i C60/C70 Print Server, making it the best choice for production environments.

2. Flexible variable data printing (VDP) services


The robust, open, flexible, and scalable Fiery solution supports all leading VDP formats
including PDF-VT, Creo VPS, PPML, and Xerox VIPP and works with all leading VDP
composition software and formats for seamless workflows. The faster processing speed also
makes offering VDP services more profitable.

3. Perfect PDF printing in a pure PDF workflow


Fiery external servers include the Adobe® PDF Print Engine (APPE) interpreter for end-to-end
native PDF workflows. This allows consistency and flexibility from design to output in hybrid
digital and offset print environments, and also ensures correct representation of color spaces
and transparencies.

4. Inline tab separations


Create and insert tab sheets directly into documents with Fiery Command WorkStation® by
entering the text for each tab and specifying the location of the tab at the last possible stage
in the print submission process.

5. A way to offer pad printing


With external Fiery servers, operators can print pads with ease from a single-page job, and
with minimal manual collation of the printed output.

6. Integration with transactional printing workflows


The Fiery external server can adapt to legacy transactional printing workflows with features
such as Set Page Device to define media pulls and map the output destination, and
Sequential Print to ensure the order of the final output is correct.

7. Windows® 8.1 Pro OS flexibility


Fiery external servers comply with the latest corporate IT standards and provides more
efficient administration and implementation of security patches. You can also easily
implement standard industry practices such as running anti-virus software.

8. Fiery QuickTouch™ software


The EX C60/C70 Print Server features the new Fiery NX Pro hardware. The NX Pro includes
Fiery QuickTouch software on the touchscreen display, which gives faster views of job status
information and access to server management. With just a tap, the touchscreen display
gives operators easy access to intuitive system installation, backup and restore, plus system
diagnostics.

Xerox EX C60/C70 Print Server: Optional features
External Fiery servers offer optional software and hardware solutions that add advanced prepress, makeready,
automation and workflow integration for high-production print facilities. These features are not available on the
Xerox EX-i C60/C70 Print Server.

1. The ability to identify and troubleshoot file problems before it’s too late
Fiery Preflight, a feature in the Fiery Graphic Arts Package, Premium Edition, quickly checks
for missing spot colors, VDP elements, or low resolution images. It prevents problem jobs
from printing and helps troubleshoot issues faster.

2. A centralized production workspace for operators


Operators can make pre-production changes from the Fiery NX Station GL, a higher-
efficiency, ergonomically designed work area. The monitor displays the Fiery Ticker for an
at-a-glance view of the printing status at a distance.

3. Secure storage for print files


The optional removable hard disk drive allows you to lock the server drive into the system for
normal operation and remove it to a secure location after powering down the server.

4. A powerful makeready option to produce differentiated output


Add Fiery JobMaster to offer advanced PDF makeready capabilities such as insertion of tab
pages without the need to design them in the native application, multi-bank and bleed-edge
tab setup, page merging, media assignment, finishing, page numbering, plus hard-copy
scanning and cleanup. This allows you to produce jobs completely inline and reduce labor
costs on manual tab insertion.

Xerox EX-i C60/C70 Print Server: Optional features
While these features are standard on external Fiery servers, you may add them as options to the Xerox EX-i
C60/C70 Print Server by purchasing the Fiery Productivity Package or stand-alone software tools. Be sure to
compare the cost of the Xerox EX-i C60/C70 Print Server with the additional software added for a more accurate
comparison to the Xerox EX C60/C70 Print Server

1. Automated Web-to-Print submission, and integration with EFI MIS systems


Fiery servers are the only DFE certified by CIP4 job definition format (JDF) IDP-ICS. By
adhering to this standard, Fiery servers integrate seamlessly with EFI MIS and Web-to-Print
systems as well as with industry-leading third-party prepress workflow solutions such as Agfa
Apogee, Heidelberg Prinect and Kodak Prinergy. This helps you more efficiently deliver job
specifications, update job status in real time, track job costing data and validate equipment
usage.

2. Superior photographic prints


Image Enhance Visual Editor, a Command WorkStation plug-in, allows operators to make
last-minute edits to a selected image without having to open the image in applications such
as Adobe Photoshop®.

3. Automated job submission that eliminates touch points


Workflow automation in the job submission process with Hot Folders and Virtual Printers
reduces errors and saves time, while allowing operators to give more attention to other jobs
that require specific finishing and color settings.

4. Accelerated production with prepress workflow automation


Add Fiery JobFlow for cost-effective, advanced prepress capabilities. You can easily configure
automated job workflows including PDF conversion, preflight, correction
and editing of PDF files, image enhancement, document imposition, plus approval
and job ticketing.
