PRINTER SPECIFICATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS Space planning guidelines When determining your space requirements and planning for shared space between your printers, it is important to consider all of the components you plan to install. To ensure all of the space requirements are met, it is important to work with your Xerox representative.
PRINTER SPECIFICATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS 4635, 96, or 180 printer feeders and stackers. Consult with your Xerox representative to ensure all the requirements are met. The following figures illustrate three possible configurations of shared space. Back-to-back shared space The figure below illustrates the two printers placed in a back-to-back position. This allows them to share the entire 36 inches / 91.4 cm of general service space. Figure 6-14.
PRINTER SPECIFICATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS Face-to-face shared space The following figure shows the two printers facing each other. The printers share 12 inches / 30.5 cm of the general service space, but not the exclusive operator area in front of each printer. Therefore, the printers should be separated by 24 inches / 61 cm, plus 24 inches / 61 cm, plus 12 inches / 30.5 cm. This allows for the entire operator space for each printer, plus the shared general service area of 12 inches / 30.5 cm. Figure 6-15.
PRINTER SPECIFICATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS Face-to-back shared space The following figure shows the two printers arranged with one facing the back of the other. Between them is 60 inches / 152.4 cm of space. This allows for 24 inches / 61 cm of operator space in front of the printer facing toward the other, plus 36 inches / 91.4 cm of service space behind the printer facing away from the other. Figure 6-16. Face-to-back shared space 223.2 in / 567 cm 36 in / 91.4 cm 28.3 in / 71.
PRINTER SPECIFICATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS Floor leveling For proper operation, the printer must be perfectly level. On floors less than two degrees out of level, installation personnel use a leveling kit to level the machine. Note: The printer will not function properly on floors more than two degrees out of level. If the floor is more than two degrees out of level, this condition cannot be corrected by the leveling kit. Another suitable location must be found for the printer to be installed properly.
PRINTER SPECIFICATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS Turning radius You must also consider the width of the passageway when the equipment must negotiate a corner, whether into a room, an elevator, or another passageway. There are L-shaped turns and T-shaped turns. The diagrams and the tables that follow show the minimum space required to maneuver through the turns. Figure 6-17. T-shaped turn 1 2 Passage A Passage B Figure 6-18.
PRINTER SPECIFICATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS Turning radius for printer with separated components The 96, 4635 or 180 is delivered with the printer, inverter feeder/ stacker, and each feeder/stacker as separate modules. If necessary, the printer can be separated into two pieces for ease in moving. The larger of the two parts contains the xerographic system; the smaller of the parts (the paper handling module, or PHM) contains paper trays 1 and 2.

7. 7System connections This chapter provides cable requirements for your 96/4635/180 NPS system. To ensure all of your cable requirements are met, it is important to work with your Xerox representative. Cable lengths Cable lengths are important considerations in planning your layout, as components can be separated only up to the length of the data interface cables that connect them. Cables supplied with the printer are of sufficient length to meet the needs of most installations.
SYSTEM CONNECTIONS Cable locations To run the cables beneath the flooring effectively, it is necessary to know where the cables enter and exit the printer. The following diagrams show those locations (marked with an X). All power cords attach to the back of the printer. Listed below are the distances of the printer power cord attachments from the left end of the printer as you face it. Figure 7-1.
8. 8Installation This chapter describes the activities performed by you and Xerox during the installation of the Xerox DocuPrint 96/96 MICR NPS, 4635/4635 MICR NPS, and 180/180 MICR NPS, and hardware and software components. Before installation can begin, you must complete the tasks described in the “Preparing for installation” chapter of this guide.
INSTALLATION 7. Xerox personnel review preventive maintenance schedules and service call procedures. Your responsibilities Xerox is responsible for the physical installation of the printer components and for loading the software and applications. You have the general site responsibility of ensuring that the right personnel, supplies, and network information are available.
INSTALLATION Software licensing When an NPS is purchased, the owner needs to receive a license to use the operating system software. Once a user calls in with a host ID, (Sun SPARC/Ultra host ID), the user receives a license string. Refer to the “Setting up the printer controller” chapter in the Guide to Configuring and Managing the System (section titled “Loading the NPS software license text stream”).
INSTALLATION Ongoing maintenance After the installation of your Xerox DocuPrint NPS, there are a few ongoing tasks that must be performed. These tasks may include the following: • • • • • • • Maintaining an adequate inventory of consumable supplies Overseeing routine maintenance and meter reporting Arranging for additional operator training Ordering additional fonts Ordering additional documentation Placing service calls for hardware problems Obtaining assistance in solving software-related problems.
A. ASupplies This appendix provides information and specifications for the media you use with your Xerox DocuPrint 96, 4635, or 180 printer. Instructions for ordering supplies are also provided. Consumable supplies (those that are depleted during operation of the system), such as paper, dry ink, developer, fuser agent, etc., must be ordered for your printer. It is important that an adequate supply of these items be on hand for installation, and that your supply be maintained afterwards.
SUPPLIES Use paper within these parameters: • • Lightest: 16-pound or 65 gsm bond Heaviest: 110-pound or 200-gsm index. Note: It is recommended that you use 24-pound paper with MICR applications, or paper specified by your local banking regulatory authority. Characteristics The paper stock should have the following characteristics: • Low moisture content (a paper-to-moisture ratio below 5.7 percent). Paper with higher moisture content may curl and jam.
SUPPLIES • • • Perforated paper Pre-cut or full tabs Carbonless paper. Note: The 96/4635/180 printer can print on precollated or ordered stocks, including ordered tabs. However, jam recovery is not supported with these stocks. Paper width and printer performance The width of the paper you use for your print job is directly related to the rate at which the 96, 4635, and 180 printer can print a job. The rate at which a job prints is the throughput speed and is measured in pages per minute (ppm).
SUPPLIES Table A-3. Throughput data: 180 printer Pitch Paper width Speed 8 7 to 7.4 in. / 178 to 188 mm 206 ppm 7 7.4 to 9.01 in. / 188 to 229 mm 180 ppm 6 9.01 to 10.19 in. / 229 to 259 mm 154 ppm 5 10.19 to 12.12 in. / 259 to 308 mm 128 ppm 4 12.12 to 15.31 in. / 308 to 389 mm 103 ppm 3 15.31 to 17 in. / 389 to 432 mm 77 ppm When the printing speed appears to degrade, you may be able to improve it by running the print job in a higher pitch mode.

SUPPLIES Paper care Once you have purchased your paper, you must be sure it is stored and conditioned properly, so that it performs optimally in the printer with a minimum of jams. Storing paper Paper has a tendency to curl under the heat that is present inside xerographic equipment. To minimize the amount of curling, use paper with low moisture content. Paper with excessive moisture content has a tendency to jam because of the greater curl. The maximum recommended moisture content is 5.7 percent.
SUPPLIES Figure A-10. Recommended temperature and humidity for paper storage Conditioning paper Because temperature and humidity affect paper performance in the printer, you need to condition paper before using it. To do this, store paper for a specified length of time in the same type of environment as your printer. The length of time you should condition your paper depends on the amount of paper and the difference between the storage and operating temperatures.
SUPPLIES Table A-4.Paper conditioning: Recommended temperature differences between storage and operating areas Temperature differences between storage and operating areas Fahrenheit 10o 15o 20o 25o 30o 40o 50o 8.5o 11o 13o 17o 22o 28o Centigrade 5.5o Cartons Hours 1 4 8 11 14 17 24 34 5 5 9 12 15 18 25 35 10 8 14 18 22 27 38 51 20 11 16 23 28 35 48 67 40 14 19 26 32 38 54 75 Example: (See the shaded rows in the table above.

D. DDocuPrint NPS on a Novell network This chapter provides a brief overview of Novell NetWare, and describes some of the considerations you must make before the service representative installs DocuPrint NPS on a Novell network. Novell NetWare overview In a Novell network, clients who connect to the file server, are authenticated, and maintain an open connection. Communication is through the file server and not client-to-device. Communications are typically on an Ethernet or Token Ring LAN.
DOCUPRINT NPS ON A NOVELL NETWORK Queue to printer relationships Novell NetWare allows for flexibility in setting up different printing configurations. Multiple queues and printers can be associated in different ways to meet different needs, such as the following: • • • • One queue to one printer Multiple queues to one printer One queue to many printers Multiple queues to multiple printers. PCONSOLE PCONSOLE is the main Novell utility used for creating, viewing and managing print queues.
DOCUPRINT NPS ON A NOVELL NETWORK Print server (PSERVER) A Novell print server (PSERVER) is a combination of hardware and software that takes ready-to-print jobs from the print queue and sends them to the printer. The print server software is the link between the print queue and the printer (either local or remote). Only one print server can be running on the file server. Each print server can service up to 16 printers.
DOCUPRINT NPS ON A NOVELL NETWORK • If a Novell user wishes to access a given virtual printer, a form with the same name as the virtual printer must be defined by the NetWare administrator. The user must specify that form for the job. • The Novell system administrator must create form names to match the names of DocuPrint NPS virtual printers. • The form name can have a maximum of twelve characters, and the first character must be alphabetic.
DOCUPRINT NPS ON A NOVELL NETWORK The RPRINTER does not have access to the queue or the data for a job in the queue. The RPRINTER configuration allows for multiple queues to provide access to the attributes of the associated virtual printers.
DOCUPRINT NPS ON A NOVELL NETWORK • The setting of the Novell banner pages switch operates successfully using PSERVER (this toggles the ElideHeader attribute). If Banner Page is requested with RPRINTER, DocuPrint NPS prints a Novell-generated ASCII banner page as the first page of a job, and will print the entire job as an ASCII file (500 pages could be generated when requesting a banner page regardless of the actual file contents.
DOCUPRINT NPS ON A NOVELL NETWORK Table 4-1 lists the differences between DocuPrint NPS as a print server or as a remote printer. Table D-1.Print server and remote printer differences DocuPrint NPS as a PSERVER DocuPrint NPS as an RPRINTER Functions like a Novell print server. Functions like a Novell remote printer. Connects to a Novell file server and consumes a licensed connection. Connects to a Novell print server without consuming a licensed connection.
DOCUPRINT NPS ON A NOVELL NETWORK • • • • • D-8 — Define the printer per the naming convention suggested by NPS. — Select DEFINED ELSEWHERE. — From the Print Server window, configure a printer for PSERVER using the Printer Configuration option. — Type any name (for example, Gazette) for the printer. Select Remote Other/Unknown type for the printer and save the information. — Define the printer in the Queue Service by highlighting the printer name (for example, Gazette) and pressing Enter.
DOCUPRINT NPS ON A NOVELL NETWORK In the following illustration, the queue, virtual printer, and specified form are configured with the same name. The user sends a print job that specifies a print queue named Gazette through the Ethernet or Token Ring port to the Gazette queue that is served by the print server. This job is assigned to the Gazette virtual printer on NPS. Figure D-1.
DOCUPRINT NPS ON A NOVELL NETWORK • After installation, change from PSERVER to RPRINTER as follows: — Sign on to privilege as an administrator. — Type Configure to specify the printer configuration. — Select Option 3, enter to the Review All Information question, and type Novell to review Novell information. — Remote Printer for Novell Netware -- . — Use Print Server for Novell Netware -- . — Name of Novell Print Server -- PGazette.
DOCUPRINT NPS ON A NOVELL NETWORK Supporting DocuPrint NPS on a file server There are a number of tasks you perform on the file server to support the DocuPrint NPS as either a print server or a remote printer: • With DocuPrint NPS as a PSERVER you must allow unencrypted password login on the file server. Enter the following command at the file server console prompt and in the AUTOEXEC.NCF file: set allow unencrypted passwords=on Note: Set this command even if you do not establish a print server password.
