1. System overview This chapter introduces the DocuPrint NPS/IPS printing system and describes its major and optional components. It also provides information on how highlight color is used in printed documents. Functional overview of the NPS/IPS The NPS/IPS printers support the processing and printing of PDL and ASCII jobs from network workstations, as well as IPDS jobs from an IBM host. Supported PDL formats are PostScript levels 1 and 2, HP PCL 5c, HP PCL 5e, and TIFF.
System overview Resolution The 4850/4890 NPS/IPS provides high print quality at 300 dpi resolution. It can receive data at 240, 300, or 600 dpi. The controller converts 240 and 600 to 300 dpi data. The 92C NPS/IPS provides exceptional print quality at 600 dpi resolution. It can receive data at 240, 300, or 600 dpi. The controller can convert incoming data to 600 dpi for printing, or can convert the data to 240 or 300 dpi and allow the print engine to convert the pages to 600 dpi.
System overview Xerox-supplied printer interface Xerox-supplied DocuPrint printer The printer interface cables provide high-speed data transport and communication between the printer controller and the printer. The printer accepts data from the printer controller and prints the document according to the print options specified by the user. The printer also provides optional paper stitching and stacking. Connectivity configurations The NPS/IPS can process network PDL and IPDS jobs concurrently.
System overview Document Feeding and Finishing Architecture (DFA) The Document Feeding and Finishing Architecture (DFA) on the NPS/IPS supports all third-party finishing devices currently validated for the LCDS (J11) printers (DFA is not supported on the 4850). The bypass transport option is required for in-line finishing devices .
System overview • Host Resources MIB (RFC 1514) This MIB defines variables useful in managing a “host” system. In this context, a host is a computer that is directly used by human beings and that communicates with other similar computers attached through a network. The Host Resources MIB includes information such as how long the system has been up, descriptions of the processors and attached storage devices, and possibly information about software running on the host.
System overview Sixth Sense is intended to automate and expedite the range of service-related support functions. Sixth Sense is a tool that enables Xerox to provide benchmark service support. Xerox customers benefit from the ability to bring broader support to focus more quickly. For example, Sixth Sense can allow the Service Representative to repeatedly "preview" the condition of the system prior to an actual site visit.
System overview How highlight color is created A document with highlight color contains one color plus black. The color may be printed either as a solid color or combined with black. The NPS/IPS prints the highlight color by printing small dots in a single pass with near-perfect registration.
System overview When the NPS/IPS receives a full-color document, the printer software matches the colors as closely as possible. If you specify a color in your document that the NPS/IPS cannot print, it is printed either as a shade of gray or as an equivalent tone of highlight color. To control color conversion in your document, you can use the map color option, also called “extraction color.
2. Printer controller overview The printer controller manages print options, provides the user interface, and runs system management and diagnostic operations on demand. The following is an explanation of tasks that enable the job to be printed: • The printer controller detects which job protocol is being sent. • Print option parameters are stored in the Job Pool Manager (JPM) database, which maintains a database of all jobs.
Printer controller overview Printer controller components The printer controller consists of a specially-configured Sun workstation and uses proprietary Xerox hardware, firmware, and software. Your system may use one of two platforms for the printer controller: • Sun Blade 1000 • Sun Ultra 60 workstation Sun Blade 1000 workstation The printer controller is based on the Sun Blade 1000, a workstation with a high-performance architecture for complex processing tasks.

3. Printer components and options The printer processes the electronic data and images received from the controller and produces the printed output. This chapter describes the components and options available for the printer. Printer components The NPS/IPS printers contain the xerographic engine, two standard feeder trays, a sample tray, the printer console, and one of three possible output configurations: the dual stacker, the dual stacker with bypass transport, or the stitcher/stacker.
Printer components and options 5. Feeder tray 1 6. Feeder tray 2 Printer console Sample tray The printer console contains message and graphic displays, an attention light, and Information, Stop, and Continue buttons. Indicator lights show which feeder tray is active and the paper size in use. This output tray is used for sample prints, rejected prints, and transparencies. The capacity of the sample tray is 100 sheets of 20-pound or 80-grams per square meter (gsm) paper.

Information button Attention light The yellow attention light glows whenever the system detects an actual or potential problem.
Printer components and options • Message display When the light glows steadily, act soon to avoid a cycle-down. A steady glow typically indicates that paper or dry ink is low. Printer status and simple operating and maintenance instructions are shown in a two-line message. One of the following icons indicates the printer mode: Printer Mode Black Highlight Also in the lower panel, the dry ink color currently loaded is shown.
Printer components and options Power on/off switch Sample button Continue button This switch controls power to the printer and is used primarily by service representatives. The sample feature is not used. The Continue button resumes printing when it is pressed. While it is formatting a complex page, the printer controller may cycle down the printer if the page image is not available within a certain amount of time.
Printer components and options Additional printer features Additional features of the NPS/IPS include the following: Instruction labels Power savers Located throughout the printer to assist you with a variety of tasks. To conserve energy, the printer has two power savers: one for the raster output scanner (ROS) and one for the fuser. After a predetermined period, each of these parts times out and shuts down. The time-out period can be adjusted by a service representative to meet your needs.
Printer components and options CCU changeout cart The cart is used to remove and install the customer changeable unit (CCU). The CCU consists of the color developer housing and the dry ink bottle. Because the CCU is heavy, the user will need the cart to make the change. The carts also serve as storage devices for the CCUs that are not currently in use.
Printer components and options High-capacity feeder The high-capacity feeder (HCF) provides two additional feeder trays. The extra trays work interchangeably with feeder trays 1 and 2 to allow automatic tray switching and uninterrupted printing time. 1 3 2 Figure 3-5. 4850/4890/92C NPS/IPS with high-capacity feeder 1. High-capacity feeder unit 2. Feeder tray 3 3. Feeder tray 4 3-8 Tray capacities Each high-capacity feeder tray holds 1000 sheets of 20-pound or 80 gsm bond.
Printer components and options Dual stacker The dual stacker contains two identical output trays. Output can be sent to either of these trays or both of these trays. NOTE: A dual stacker is required on the NPS/IPS for installation of the bypass transport. 1 2 3 Figure 3-6. 4850/4890/92C NPS/IPS printer with dual stacker 1. Sample tray (top tray) 2. Stacker tray 1 3. Stacker tray 2 Sample tray Used for sample prints, rejected prints, and transparencies. Holds up to 100 sheets of 20-pound or 80 gsm bond.
Printer components and options Stitcher/stacker The stitcher/stacker inserts wire-stitches (staples) into documents. 1 2 Figure 3-7. 4850/4890/92C NPS/IPS printer with stitcher/ stacker 1. Sample tray 2. Stitcher/stacker tray Sample tray Stitcher/stacker tray Used for sample prints, rejected prints, and transparencies. Holds up to 100 sheets of 20-pound or 80 gsm bond. Used for output that is stitched (stapled) and/or offset.
Printer components and options Bypass transport (4850 and 4890 only) The optional bypass transport enables individual printed sheets of paper to pass through the NPS/IPS output tray to third-party finishing devices. These devices perform a variety of finishing tasks, such as saddle-stitching, binding, folding, stapling, trimming, and stacking. The bypass transport fits into tray 1 of the NPS/IPS dual stacker. Printed pages flow from left to right (when viewed from the front of the printer).
Printer components and options Software, firmware, hardware, and paper requirements The optional bypass transport requires the following: • Dual stacker output module • Standard white, colored, predrilled, or preprinted paper. To minimize paper jams and misfeeds, use 20 pound or 80 gsm (grams per square meter) bond xerographic grade. Xerox 4024 Dual Purpose Paper and Xerox 10 Series Dual Purpose paper are optimal. Use paper with less than 6% moisture content so that the paper will not curl and jam.
Printer components and options Profiles for third-party finishing devices When a bypass transport is connected to the NPS/IPS, you can add any number of third-party finishing devices. 1 2 3 Figure 3-9. Third-party finishing device configuration 1. Paper path 2. Bypass transport 3. Third-party finishing devices Each third-party device is identified by a specific personality profile.
Printer components and options • Alignment: Your finishing device align at the correct height without interference from protruding features. To accomplish this, you must consider the feature locations and the vertical alignment. • Paper exit: The finishing device must align with this exit slot. Printed sheets travel through the printer output module and bypass transport, out of the paper exit, and into the finishing device. The paper exit slot is 16.75 inches (425.45 mm) wide.
Printer components and options 7. Sheet path 8. Finishing device left edge Electrical connection The printer automatically detects the presence of the bypass transport and third-party finishing devices when it is powered up. The system also begins monitoring the interlocks (physical links) between the bypass transport and the finishing device. It then starts interface communications.
Printer components and options Paper paths The paper path is the route that stocks (paper, transparencies, labels, and so on) follow through the printer from the feeder trays to the output trays. The figure below illustrates the simplex (one-sided output) paper path of a printer with a dual stacker tray and a standard feeder tray.
Printer components and options The following figure illustrates the duplex (two-sided output) paper path of a printer with a dual stacker and a standard feeder. Materials may originate in either feeder tray 1 or feeder tray 2. The duplex paper tray receives the materials before they go through a second time to receive the second image. As the pages move through for the second image, they follow the simplex path.
Printer components and options The following figure illustrates the simplex paper path of a printer with the high-capacity feeder. Figure 3-13. Simplex paper path (printer with high-capacity feeder) If you have the stitcher/stacker option, the paper path is the same, except there is only one tray for the output (other than the sample tray).
4. Network printing environment The NPS/IPS system supports the personal computer (PC), Sun workstation, DEC workstation, HP/Apollo, IBM RS/6000 and Apple Macintosh. It accepts PostScript levels 1 and 2, PCL 5, TIFF, and ASCII output. Client workstations and system software To send print jobs to the printer, the customer needs to provide the proper client hardware, operating system, and network software. Print data originates at the client workstation, mainframe or minicomputer.
Network printing environment Client software On your PC or workstation, you must install or set up a supported means of submitting jobs to the printer. Depending on your system, you can use the following: • Xerox drivers for Windows 3.x, 95/98, or NT/2000 • Xerox Document Submission Software for DOS, Windows 3.
Network printing environment • Xerox Client Software: Provides a print command for submitting jobs and specifying print options. The functionality of the print command is dependent on the TCP/IP software installed on the workstation. • Xerox DocuPrint Document Submission Client software for the Macintosh: Provides a graphical user interface for submitting jobs and specifying print options. • Xerox DocuPrint Print Submission software for Windows 3.
Network printing environment Shown below are the workstations, networking options, and job submission methods available for each client. Table 4-1.

IBM RS/6000 IBM AIX Standard TCP/IP; none Print using Xerox Client Software.
Network printing environment The job status command (lpq) is available at client workstations unless your TCP/IP network communications utilities do not support it. Xerox Client Software provides commands for listing the status of the job and for listing the queue. These commands are available for jobs submitted using Xerox Client Software. AppleTalk provides job status information at the client workstation through the print monitor function.
Network printing environment Multiple network connectivity The system supports multiple network connectivity, that is, the ability for protocols such as TCP/IP to run on more than one network interface. For TCP/IP, the system can support any combination of Ethernet or Token Ring. One interface is designated as the primary network interface. Novell NetWare can run on only the primary network interface, but the type of interface can be selected.

A. Supplies This appendix provides information and specifications for the media you use with your Xerox DocuPrint 4850/4890/92C NPS/ IPS 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 Recommended weight and grade Use a good quality, xerographic-grade paper. For best results, use paper that is 20-pound or 80 gsm (grams per square meter) bond, xerographic grade. Xerox 4024 Dual Purpose Paper provides optimal performance in the printer. Refer to the consumable supplies table, later in this appendix. Use paper within these parameters: Characteristics • Lightest: 20-pound or 80 gsm bond • Heaviest: 110-pound or 200 gsm index.
Supplies • Tinted paper: Available in a variety of colors, it has many uses, including calling attention to certain printed material, separating special sections, or dividing chapters of a report. • Preprinted paper: May be letterhead, forms, or logos. • Predrilled paper: Has a varying number of holes for use in binders or binder rings. Before loading predrilled paper, fan it to remove loose plugs that could cause paper jams. Load predrilled paper in the printer with holes to the right.
Supplies Figure A-1. Storing paper correctly Figure A-2. Recommended temperature and humidity for paper storage Conditioning paper A-4 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.
Supplies The length of time you should condition your paper depends on the amount of paper and the difference between the storage and operating temperatures. Use the following chart to determine the length of time needed to condition stacked cartons of paper. NOTE: The numbers in the top two rows indicate the temperature difference between the storage area and the operating environment, not actual room temperatures. Table A-1.
Supplies Dry ink Dry ink (also called toner) is the powder which forms the image on the printed page. There are six cartridges of black dry ink or three cartridges of colored dry ink in each carton. You should keep at least one extra cartridge on hand at all times. The disposable cartridges are easily changed with no mess. The consumption rate of Xerox dry ink is approximately one cartridge per 30,000 pages for black dry ink and 86,500 pages for colored dry ink.
