Environment Management System (EMS)

EMS Overview

Creo is committed to the Environment Management System (EMS). According to this policy, we are

committed to keeping customers and service engineers informed about the principles of handling

company products with an emphasis on environmental conservation.

The Triple-R principles are

reduce, reuse, and recycle.

Any item that can be recycled should be recycled and any item that can be reused should be reused, to

reduce the quantities of trash that cities must handle.

Recycling

Used items such as paper, plastic, electronic parts, and glass – should be sent for recycling.

Packaging Materials

Packaging materials should be kept at the customer’s premises. For disposal, they should be sent to a

plant for paper, carton, and wood recycling.

End of Product Life

When the product reaches its end of life, it should be sent for recycling to a recognized local company.

Overview of Spire CXP6000 Color Server

The Spire CXP6000 color server is an on-demand pre-press system that

uses Creo Spire advanced pre-press technologies, to drive a Xerox

DocuColor 6060 Digital Color Press.

As an optimal digital color solution for printers, the Spire CXP6000 color

server enables you to print from Windows, Macintosh, and UNIX® client

workstations. The Spire CXP6000 color server processes image files in

page-description language (PDL) formats—for example, PostScript, PDF,

and Variable Information—using RIP (Raster Image Processor)

technology. The system converts image files into a suitable RTP (Ready-To-

Print) format for direct, high-quality digital printing. The Spire CXP6000

color server also streamlines the printing process by allowing printing with

preset workflows.

In combination with the Xerox DocuColor 6060 Digital Color Press, the

Spire CXP6000 color server enables you to efficiently print flyers,

brochures, pamphlets, dummy catalogs, short-run trials, and print-on-

demand publications. When installed as a fast, network printer with the

Spire CXP6000 color server, the Xerox DocuColor 6060 Digital Color Press
