The base press configuration of the modular FutureColor system will include two feeders and two stackers, but those numbers can be increased to six and nine, respectively. Each feeder has two drawers that can hold coated or uncoated stocks in weights from 60 to 270 gsm.

Two front ends will be offered to drive the press. One option will be the CSX RIP (CreoScitex Spire), which is currently offered with the DocuColor 2000 Series. As an alternative, the DocuSP (Document Services Platform) controller that was developed to drive Xerox's monochrome systems is being upgraded to handle process color. The enhancements to DocuSP reflect the company's broader emphasis on integrating the capabilities of its black-and-white and color product lines.
