    Xerox Versant Decurler fix 048-310 048-311

    We have had persistent Xerox versant decurler module errors 048-310 and 048-311. Upon further investigation, the pin connecting the big cam gear to the cam shaft is broken. The pin is about 3mm x 40mm. Is there a Xerox part number for that pin or a rebuild kit? Partsdrop.com came up blank. Thanks.

    Xerox Versant 37mm dots

    I'm stumped on this one. I'm getting black dots about 37mm apart in the process/paper feed direction. 37mm indicates a BCR issue. Replaced the developer housing and developer entirely. Tried swapping drums. Checked the 1st BTR black roller for debris. I'm working out of an older tech manual...

    Versant toner NVMs to resolve 093-317

    Here is are posts to resolve 093-317 by setting NVMs. I assume "3" means fault status for 761-265, but what do 0, 1, and 2 mean? Also, what do 75000 and 130000 indicate for the auger rotation? Are those servo motor ticks? thanks...

    Windows 11

    I am curious- is anyone here using Windows 11 in their printshop and how is the experience? I'm sketched out for a bunch of reasons on changing to Win11, including that most of my workstations aren't compatible. I just had to modify the registry for one of my machines to stop Windows 11...

    Xerox Versant envelope double feeding

    Versant 3100, but this may be applicable to more Xerox hardware. We just discovered that fanning envelopes before feeding into Tray 5 greatly decreases double feeding with difficult envelopes. Hope Santa gets me an envelope feeder for Christmas 8)

    Used Xerox strategy - Color 1000i

    I got notified that our V3100 will be end of parts and toner in a few months. I speculate that our spike in spare parts consumption (2nd BTRs, fuser belts, fuser, etc) got flagged and we are well past our 60 month lease expiration. The concerns with leasing new equipment are being forced into...

    Plockmatic/Intec support in US for Intec CS6500

    I'm considering buying an Plockmatic/Intec SC6500 for making stickers and testing the waters with small boxes. Show special has modest savings. Has anyone had good or bad experiences with Plockmatic and/or Intec support in the US? I have not worked with this group or their equipment before.

    How do you calculate rush charges?

    I'm relatively new to the printing world at 5 years and have yet to charge a rush fee because we position as being the fastest and most expensive print factory. However, I'm in a situation where we've had to pull out all of the stops to print about 200 short run text books around 1.5" thick...
