What is a Duty Cycle?
Duty Cycle is a print device’s maximum rated capacity to perform continuously over a single month under normal conditions. It is not expected to be sustained on a regular basis.
What is AMPV?
The average monthly print volume (AMPV) is the print device’s rated capacity for consistent performance month after month under normal conditions.
What is the difference between AMPV and Duty Cycle?
When discussing a print device’s capabilities, there is often a misconception regarding Duty Cycle and AMPV. Duty Cycles are guidelines for a maximum monthly print volume and not intended for continuous operation, while AMPV allows consistent performance over time under normal conditions.
Printing the maximum monthly print volume over a sustained period is not recommended.

6. Operational Considerations
Image Quality Expectations
Image Quality
· The C8100 series is designed to produce consistent, uniform color and monochrome prints and copies in the product’s specified Average Monthly Print Volume range
· The C8100 series is designed to produce a uniform image. Image Quality is subjective and can be impacted by lighting and is strongly influenced by paper
· Sustained production of high area coverage documents could result in a degradation of print quality
Quality, Color Management, and Print Resolution
· The appearance of the document displayed on the computer monitor screen may not match the output print due to the following reasons: The range of colors that can be produced in print is different than the range of colors that can be displayed on a computer screen Different display technologies have different reproductions of color
· Printed colors appear differently under different light sources · The customer is responsible for calibration by using the provided copy and print calibration routines · The Postscript and PCL drivers contain the ability to adjust the print quality. Image adjustments include
color correction modes, ability to render images at either 600 x 600 dpi (contone or binary) or 1200×1200 dpi (binary only). All images are marked at 2400×1200 dpi. ICC profiles can adjust how RGB and CMYK objects are reproduced. There are differences between the PS, and PCL driver based on PDL image-path limitations · When the print drivers “Color” output mode is selected, grayscale images in applications may print using composite grays, which contain a visually neutral combination of C, M, Y, and K. Pages are not guaranteed to print and bill as monochrome unless the “Black and White” output color mode is selected in the print driver
Print Expectations
Duplex (2-sided) Copying/Printing
· The Xerox® Altalink® C8100 Series can automatically perform two-sided (duplex) copying or printing on media sizes up to 12 x 19 in. (SRA3) and 300 gsm paper. Note: Paper weighing over 220 gsm is likely to have some usage restrictions
· Manual duplex can be performed on media up to 110 lb Cover (300 gsm) 12 x 19 in. (SRA3) from Tray 5 (Bypass)
· Full duplex print productivity is achieved except when paper exits to the top center tray

· Your Xerox® Device can be equipped with an optional Xerox Bluetooth Kit to enable AirPrintTM printer discovery via iBeacon
· iBeacon simplifies local AirPrintTM printer discovery and removes the need for AirPrintTM clients and the printer to be on the same subnet
· For more information, refer to Xerox System Administrators guide
Scanning Expectations

Installation Considerations
Network Switch (Fiery Hub Kit)
When the EX-c C8100 Print Server is connected, it allows only one network drop with only one IP address (single IP) for the complete system (C8100 Series + Fiery Controller). Certain EIP applications (Xerox Solutions applications or Third 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 Third Party Applications, etc.). This allows the EIP application direct access to the C8100 Series.
