This chapter provides an overview of the features and functions of
the following Xerox DocuPrint IPDS Printing Systems (IPS):
•96 IPS
•96 MICR IPS
•4635 IPS
•4635 MICR IPS
•180 IPS
•180 MICR IPS
The Xerox DocuPrint IPS printer series are cut-sheet, duplex, highspeed printers that are fully compatible with the IBM Advanced
Function Presentation (AFP) architecture. They accept an IPDS data
stream from any Print Services Facility (PSF) eligible platform,
emulating an IBM IPDS Group 3 page printer with the Advanced
Function Image and Graphics (AFIG) option.
The IPS printer series is a combination of proven Xerox print engines
matched with a high-performance RISC-based controller. Each
system consists of a Sun workstation controller and the printer,
sometimes referred to as the Image Output Terminal (IOT).
A full-color graphical user interface on the Sun workstation enables
interaction with the IPS.
Host environmentsThe IPS can print in the following PSF environments:
•MVS
•VM (channel-attached only)
•VSE (channel-attached only)
•OS/2
•OS/400 (with TCP/IP only)
•AIX
Note:Although PSF/VSE does not support TCP/IP directly, a
printing system with PSF/2, PSF/6000, or InfoPrint Manager can
attach to a PSF/VSE system and the PSF/2, PSF/6000, or InfoPrint
Manager can furnish the TCP/IP support for the IPS printer.
There is no minimum host operating system software level required
to support IPS. The minimum PSF levels needed to support the IPS
are:
Host connectivity optionsThe DocuPrint IPS can be set up to receive data from the IBM host
in one of two ways:
•Through a bus and tag channel connection.
Note:If your system will be channel-attached, the printer
controller requires an additional component called a Host
Channel Unit (HCU), which interfaces between the IBM host and
the IPS controller.
•Through a Token Ring or Ethernet interface using TCP/IP (the
HCU is not used).
Note:A transmission rate of at least 16 megabits per second
should be used with a Token Ring interface on the IPS. (Overall
performance depends on network traffic and job density.)
•The software supports Token Ring over TCP/IP, and
Ethernet over TCP/IP, with the exception of VM and VSE
platforms.
•Of the other platforms that support TCP/IP, only the RS/

Throughput speedData is printed at high speeds:
•96 and 96 MICR IPS: Up to 96 pages per minute
•4635 and 4635 MICR IPS: Up to 135 pages per minute.
•180 and 180 MICR IPS: Up to 180 pages per minute
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Monthly print volumeThe monthly print volumes for these systems are:
System components
•96 and 96 MICR IPS: Up to 3 million pages
•4635 and 4635 MICR IPS: Up to 4 million pages
•180 and 180 MICR IPS: Up to 6 million pages
The IPS systems consist of the following major components:
•Printer controller — The printer controller (also called the
system controller) accepts IPDS data (plus PostScript and PCL
data with the Dual Mode option) from the host, processes the
data, and sends the data to the printer engine using the IPS
operating system. The controller provides the printer with print
data and commands, and receives status information from the
printer.
•Printer — The printer, also called the Image Output Terminal
(IOT), accepts formatted pages of data from the printer
controller and performs the imaging and printing of documents.
The printer also provides paper stacking, collating, and optional
finishing capabilities you enable using the IPS application
software accessed through the graphical user interface.
The 96/4635/180 IPS provides numerous features that can be
enabled or configured using the graphical user interface on the
printer controller.
•Multiple input trays — Multiple feeder trays can be configured
to feed paper for jobs in the most effective manner. For
example, the trays can provide nonstop printing of a complex
job that requires many paper stocks, or only a few stocks, by
using the trays’ continuous loading capability. A different input
tray can also be selected for each copy of a specific page in a
print job, for example, to provide different paper colors for
specific pages.
—96 IPS: Three addressable input trays are standard with
the system, and one additional tray is available as an
option.
—4635 and 180 IPS: Four addressable input trays are
standard with the system, and two additional trays are
available as options.
Feeder tray capacities, based on 20-pound or 80 gsm (grams
per square meter) bond, are:
—Tray 1: 1,100 sheets
—Tray 2: 600 sheets
—Trays 3 and 4: 2,600 sheets
—Optional trays (5 and 6): 2,600 sheets each.
•Roll feeder support — The 96, 4635, and 180 IPS can each
accommodate a third-party roll feeder as an input tray. (Refer to
your local Xerox sales representative for information on thirdparty roll feeders.)
—The 96 and 4635 IPS have an optional configuration in
which the roll feeder interfaces with the last feeder/stacker
module. With this configuration, the 4635 IPS may have up
to six feeder trays, with the sixth being the roll feeder. The
96 IPS may have up to five input trays, with the roll feeder
as the fifth.
Note: To be able to use this roll feeder option on the
96/4635 IPS, you must have the Input Enablement kit
installed. (Refer to the “Printer components and options”
chapter of this guide.)
—The roll feeder option for the 180 IPS is installed in the
inverter feeder/stacker module, replacing the feeder tray. It
does not require the Input Enablement kit or DFA software.
The maximum number of feeder/stacker modules
supported for this configuration is four, including the
inverter module with the roll feeder. With the two processor
feeder trays, this makes a total of six input trays possible.
•Advanced paper handling — The 96/4635/180 IPS can
handle paper stock ranging in size from 8 by 10 inches / 203 by
254 mm to 14 by 17 inches / 356 by 432 mm, including sizes A3
and A4.
The DP96, DP4635 and DP180 IPS can also print on papers as
small as 7 by 10 inches / 178 by 254 mm, with the optional 7 by
10-inch kit. They process paper weights from 16-pound / 60
gsm to 110-pound / 200 gsm.
Jobs also can be printed on label stock, transparencies,
precollated stock, tab stock, carbonless paper, and other
specialized stocks. The printer engine monitors the print job so
that, should a paper jam occur, the job resumes on the correct
page, at the correct tab, using the same color paper, etc.,
providing complete document integrity.
•Mixes plex feature — The 96/4635/180 IPS can switch from
duplex to simplex printing, and vice versa, without cycling down
the printer. The IPS system starts the first job in the plex mode
of the first sheet received. If the mode is duplex and a
subsequent sheet received is simplex, blank backs are used.
This continues until the consecutive simplex threshold is
reached. Once reached, the system starts printing in simplex,
after clearing the paper path of all duplex sheets. When the next
duplex page is received, the system starts printing in duplex,
without shutting down. The process starts over, printing simplex
pages in duplex mode using blank backs, until the consecutive
simplex threshold is reached.
•600 dpi resolution — The 96, 4635, and 180 IPS all print at
high resolution. The printers can receive data at 240 or 300 dpi
(dots per inch) and full-page IOCA images at 600 dpi. All 240 or
300 dpi data is then interpolated to 600 dpi for higher print
quality.
The following table shows how data streams of different
resolutions are interpolated.

* Full-page IOCA images only
**Note: This is an option on the 180 IPS, requiring a special board to be installed by your service
representative. Without this board, 240 dpi data is converted to 600 dpi by the controller.
Interpolated by printer to
600 x 2400 dpi
Interpolated by printer to
600 x 600 dpi
For the 96/4635/180 IPS and the 96/4635/180 MICR IPS
systems it is recommended that all fonts and other resources
that are at 240 dpi be converted to 300 dpi before printing,
rather than leaving the conversion for the controller to do. This
ensures better print quality.
Caution:The 96/4635/180 IPS must have the same font
resolution specified as the host input data stream (refer to the
Guide to Configuring and Managing the System for instructions
on specifying the input resolution). Conflicts between the input
font resolution and the IPS specification could result in inability
to print the job, or in missing variable data in the output.
•Multiple high-capacity output bins — Each output bin has
offsetting capability and a capacity of 2500 sheets of 20-pound
or 80 gsm bond.
Note: This capacity does not apply to 11 by 17-inch and A3
papers. Because of the additional weight these large sheets add
to the bins, each bin can hold only up to 1500 sheets of A3 or 11
by 17-inch papers.
—96 IPS: One output bin is standard for the system, with one
additional bin available as an option (providing up to two
bins total).
—4635 and 180 IPS: Two output bins are standard, with up
to two additional bins available as options (providing up to
four bins total).
•Bypass transport option — The bypass transport enables
sheets to pass through the printer output module to a thirdparty finishing device. With such devices, you can add to your
96/4635/180 IPS such finishing capabilities as saddle-stitching,
binding, trimming, etc. The bypass transport is installed at the
right (as you face the printer) of the last feeder/stacker module
on your system. The bypass transport cannot be installed on
systems with more than three feeder/stacker modules. (For
more information on the bypass transport, refer to the “Printer
components and options” chapter of this guide.)
NPS/IPS Dual Mode
The Xerox DocuPrint Dual Mode option enables both DocuPrint IPS
and NPS systems to coexist on the same printer controller (Sun
workstation). This allows the DocuPrint system to receive data
streams supported by NPS and IPS, including IPDS, PostScript
Levels 1 and 2, HP PCL5c, HP PCL5e, and ASCII.
Either of the following two types of configurations may be used:
•The same Token Ring or Ethernet connection can be used for
both IPDS (IPS) and Postscript/PCL (NPS).
•Both a Token Ring card and an Ethernet card can reside in the
Sun workstation controller, with one being used for IPDS and
the other for PostScript/PCL.
The customer may switch from one mode to the other. When your
system is operating in IPS mode, it can accept PostScript and PCL
data streams in the background; however, you can print these jobs
only when the system is in NPS mode. When in NPS mode, the
system cannot accept IPDS data streams in the background; you can
print them only when the system is in IPS mode.
Refer to the Xerox DocuPrint IPS/NPS Dual Mode Switching Instructions and other Xerox DocuPrint IPS documentation for more
information.
The DocuPrint 96 MICR, 4635 MICR, and 180 MICR IPS produce a
Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR) line on negotiable and
turnaround documents such as checks and bills. The MICR printing
systems print documents using magnetic ink and special fonts to
create machine readable information that allows for quick document
processing.
In general, MICR is used to print accounting and routing information
on blank checks and other negotiable documents. The magnetic
encoding capabilities can be used for any printed output.
The following illustrates a check printed with a MICR line in U.S.
format. The entire MICR line, which consists of numbers and
characters (called symbols), is printed using magnetic ink.
Figure 1-3.Example of a check printed with MICR line (U. S.)
The 96 MICR, 4635 MICR, and 180 MICR IPS meet ABA standards
and ANSI and ISO specifications for automatic check handling. They
print the variable data and the MICR line at the same time. This
single-pass printing capability reduces processing time and costs.
Unsupported featuresThe DocuPrint 96 MICR, 4635 MICR, and 180 MICR IPS do not
support the security and audit feature or bar code reading. In
addition, although the Line Thickening selection and the Virtual
Printer Imaging parameters are available when you use MICR, it is
not recommended that you use these features when printing MICR
documents as they corrupt the MICR line.
In general, all print quality adjustments and enhancement settings
should be set at the nominal settings when printing MICR output.
MICR fontsXerox provides a set of 300 dpi E13B and CMC7 MICR fonts for use
with your 96/4635/180 MICR IPS. To receive the high print quality
guaranteed by Xerox, you must use these MICR fonts.
E13B fonts: The E13B font series includes the following:
•E13B
•E13B Landscape
•E13B Test
•E13B Test Landscape.
CMC7 fonts: CMC7 fonts have been adopted in various countries
outside of the U.S., and are the official standard in France. Like the
E13B font, they are magnetically readable, but with a different
character design and recognition criteria. (Currently, CMC7 is
available only through Xerox Ltd. of Europe.)
The CMC7 series includes:
•CMC7
•CMC7 Landscape
•CMC7 Test
•CMC7 Test Landscape
The “Test” fonts are non-readable MICR hollow bitmap (or outline)
fonts, provided for testing MICR applications and printing nonnegotiable documents.
Sixth Sense
Sixth Sense is a unique suite of diagnostic tools that allows Xerox
customer service engineers, analysts, and consultants to serve
customers more effectively.
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. This may provide the ability to determine the correct part or
piece of information to have on hand when the site visit is made.
Sixth Sense is a no charge feature available to customers through
Xerox Service. The customer need only provide an analog phone line
for use by the Sixth Sense modem connection. For those customers
unable to dedicate a phone line to the Sixth Sense connection, three
and five port phone share devices are available for purchase. (Refer
to your local Xerox sales representative for further information.)
To take advantage of Sixth Sense, the customer needs to:
•Request Sixth Sense enablement through Xerox Service
•Provide an analog phone line
•Provide a 120V outlet in which to plug a modem
•If necessary, purchase an optional phone share device.
More information about Sixth Sense can be found in the Xerox
DocuPrint IPS 96/4635/180 Troubleshooting Guide.
The printer controller provides the printer with print data and
commands, and receives status information from the printer. This
chapter describes the components and options available for the
controller.
The printer controller consists of a Sun workstation and, if you are
printing data received over a channel, a Host Channel Unit (HCU).
The controller uses proprietary Xerox hardware, firmware, and
software to run the IPS.
Your controller may be either a Sun Ultra 2 or Ultra 60 workstation.
The following sections contain information about both the Ultra 2 and
the Ultra 60.
Sun Ultra 2 workstation
The Sun workstation provides a user interface to the print engine. It
is used to operate the IPS software that controls the printer. The
workstation contains the following hardware components:
•Sun Ultra 2 workstation processor (system unit)
•Display monitor
•Keyboard and mouse
•Connectivity boards for Ethernet and, optionally, Token Ring
•A Data Control Interface Module (DCIM2) card installed in the

ProcessorThe 256 MB RAM processor is the central processing unit of the Sun
workstation. It contains a power switch, an internal disk drive, a
diskette drive, a CD-ROM drive, a power receptacle and outlet,
connectors and ports.
The processor has the following components:
•Internal disk drive: One 4.2 GB internal disk drive is provided
as a standard feature of the processor. The operating system,
the IPS application, and any queued print jobs are stored on the
internal disk. This disk cannot be used to store other
applications or data except as directed by your service
representative. Up to three optional disk drives are available in
increments of 4 or 9 GB.
•Diskette drive: Diskettes inserted into a diskette drive are used
to load files to, and back up files from, the internal disk drive.
The diskette drive uses industry standard 3.5 inch, 1.44 MB,
double-sided, high-density diskettes. This diskette drive is not
an input source for print jobs nor any other data or application; it
is reserved exclusively for use by a service representative to
update software and to store files. The diskette drive is located
in the processor, on the right front section for the Ultra 2.
•CD-ROM drive: The CD-ROM drive is a high density, read-only,
optical laser storage device used for loading the IPS operating
system and other files. The CD-ROM drive is located in the
processor above the diskette drive.
•Cartridge tape drive (not shown): An optional 8 GB, 4 mm
SCSI cartridge tape drive also is available for the IPS. Like the
diskette and CD drives, this tape drive is not an input source for
print jobs or for any other data or application. It provides the
service representative with another means of loading system
maintenance files or saving diagnostic information.
Caution:When installing a cartridge drive on an IPS with a
host channel unit (HCU), the tape drive must be “daisy-chained”
to the HCU. In this situation, do not attempt to run both the tape
drive and the HCU at the same time.
•Back panel: The back panel of the processor has a power
switch, a power receptacle and outlet, connectors, connector
openings, and ports. The following figure shows the back panel
of the Sun workstation that is a part of your IPS controller.

printer. The mouse has three buttons. The left and right buttons are
used to select IPS functions. The center button provides additional
functions that you will not be required to use. If your workstation has
an optical mouse, it must remain on its designated metallic pad to be
active. If the mouse has a roller ball instead of an optical sensor
underneath, it requires a non-metallic pad.
Note: Printer controller hardware configurations are subject to
upgrade.
The Sun Ultra 60 workstation provides a user interface to the print
engine. It has a high performance RISC processor chipset, based on
the industry standard Scalable Processor Architecture (SPARC). It is
used to operate the software that controls the printer. The
workstation contains the following hardware components:
•Sun Ultra 60 workstation processor (system unit)

symbols and special character keys, an extended character set, and
function keys. The keyboard is one of your main methods of
communicating with the printer. You can use the keyboard to make
selections, and to enter commands that control functions such as
requesting sample prints, obtaining billing meter totals, shutting down
the system, and so forth.
MouseThe mouse is another main method of communicating with the
IPS user interface screen
printer. The mouse has three buttons. The left and right buttons are
used to select IPS functions. The center button provides additional
functions that you will not be required to use. If your workstation has
an optical mouse, it must remain on its designated metallic pad to be
active. If the mouse has a roller ball instead of an optical sensor
underneath, it requires a non-metallic pad.
Note: Printer controller hardware configurations are subject to
upgrade.
The graphical user interface allows you to interact with the printer
and to monitor its interaction with the various components. During a
print job, printer error messages may display to notify you of any
unexpected conditions.
Note: The following figure shows the user interface screen with the
main window for a 96 MICR IPS. The main windows for the 180 IPS
and the 4635 IPS are identical to this one, except that they do not
display the MICR On/Off field in the Control Unit Configuration
section (upper-right corner). The 4635 MICR IPS and 180 MICR IPS
main windows differ only in the number of output bin icons they can
display in the Output section.
The IPS console window displays the system messages. The IPS
print engine monitor window monitors the current printer state and
displays messages such as a broken or jammed printer, printer
ready, paper trays, engine faults, and other messages about the
condition of the printer.
The IPS main window provides access to the IPS menus and tray
grouping windows. These menus and windows in turn provide
access to the task subwindows from which system operation and
administration tasks are performed.
The Host Channel Unit (HCU) handles all of the IPDS
communications and handshaking with PSF on the host when the
IPS is receiving data over a channel. (It is not used when the IPS is
printing data using TCP/IP.) The following figure illustrates the HCU
component.
Figure 2-7.Host Channel Unit (HCU)
•The front panel of the HCU provides a single-digit LED display
which enables you to monitor power-up and offline status, and
alerts you to error conditions. (Refer to the IPS Messages Guide for an explanation of the HCU codes displayed here.)
•The back panel of the HCU has a power switch and outlet,
S/370 bus and tag cable input and bypass connectors, and a
dual serial port. In addition, there are two switches on the back
panel to set channel priority to high or low. The power supply is
a standard switching power supply capable of 10 amps on the 5
volt output.
Note: The customer is responsible for obtaining, stringing, and
maintenance of the bus and tag cables. The bus and tag cables must
be fully populated cable sets.
The printer processes the electronic data and images received from
the controller and produces the printed report. This chapter
describes the components and options available for the printer.
The standard 96, 4635, and 180 printer components are the printer
control console, the sample tray, the purge tray, the two processor
feeder trays, and the feeder/stacker module(s).
•4635 and 180: The base configuration for the 4635 and 180
includes an inverter feeder/stacker and one additional feeder/
stacker module.
•96: The 96 base printer configuration contains only the inverter
feeder/stacker module. An additional feeder/stacker (as
illustrated below) is an option.

The printer provides control buttons and displays for basic printer
functions and status information. The printer control console contains
message and graphic displays that assist you with jam clearance and
printer maintenance. Labels are located throughout the printer to
assist you with a variety of tasks such as clearing a paper jam.
Refer to the System Overview manual for a detailed description of
the features and operation of the printer components.
The printer control console is the color monitor located on top of the
printer. It contains message areas and graphic displays that alert you
to paper jams and other fault and status conditions (such as low dry
ink). It also contains buttons which allow you to control certain
functions of the printer (for example, continuing an interrupted job)
without returning to the workstation controller.
The printer control console has the following features:
•Local controls and displays for jam clearance, paper loading/
unloading, and diagnostics/service (used by the service
representative). Two types of messages are displayed on the
printer control console: fault messages, which relate to printer
malfunctions, and information messages, which relate to printer
conditions such as low dry ink.
•Touch-sensitive areas that allow you to select options by
touching the printer control console screen. A tone sounds
when you touch one of these areas.
•Attention alarm tone consisting of three beeps, repeated for
ten seconds. The alarm is generated by any event that stops
the printer and requires operator attention. The alarm may be
disabled by the operator.
The tone stops after three cycles, or when the fault condition is
cleared or clearing has started (for example, doors or covers
specified in the clearance instructions are opened). You can
stop the tone by pressing one of the printer control console
buttons or by selecting a function through the touch screen.
The 96, 4635, and 180 systems are available in different basic
configurations, illustrated below.
These configuration options allow you to customize your Xerox
DocuPrint 96/4635/180 printers for increased efficiency and for
specialized applications.
•Each of the 4635 and 180 configurations can have the optional
7 by 10-inch enablement kit, producing 154 pages per minute
on the 4635 printer and 206 pages per minute on the 180
printer. (The 7 by 10-inch kit is not available for the 96 printer.)
•The following configurations may have the optional bypass
transport and/or the input enablement kit added. (Refer to
“Bypass transport printer configurations,” later in this chapter.)
Note: The bypass transport is not available on this configuration
(printer and inverter feeder/stacker plus three feeder/stackers). The
input enablement kit is available with this configuration only on the
180 printer.
The bypass transport and input enablement options provide an
interface between your DocuPrint system and your finishing and
feeding accessories. However, these feeding and finishing options
require separate AC and DC power sources that are independent of
your printer.
Consult your Xerox sales representative, as well as the sales
representative of the company from which you purchased your
finishing and feeding equipment, for specific electrical and space
requirements.
The ability to add a third-party finisher to your DocuPrint system is
made possible by the bypass transport option. Finishers increase
your production capabilities by providing a wide variety of finishing
choices (for example, slitting, booklet making, binding, and so forth).
Connected to the feeder/stacker, the bypass transport allows
finishers to interface directly with your DocuPrint system. It accepts
all paper stocks within the DocuPrint 96/4635/180 range and
accommodates simplex and duplex printing.
Adding a third-party feeder to your DocuPrint system is made
possible by the input enablement option. The DocuPrint 96/4635
printers accept cut sheets from the feeding device through an entry
slot at the lower right side of the last feeder/stacker module.
The input enablement option provides extended paper feed
capability from third-party feeder devices. Sheets are received from
third party feeder devices through an entry slot located in the last
feeder/stacker module of the system.
The DP180 printer accepts cut sheets from the rear of the stacker
into a feeding device that replaces an existing high-capacity feeder
assembly.
Note: The DocuPrint 4635 can support a maximum of three feeder/
stackers with both the input enablement and the bypass transport.
The DocuPrint 96 can support a maximum of two feeder/stackers
with both the input enablement and the bypass transport. The
DocuPrint 180 can support a maximum of three feeder/stackers with
both the input enablement and the bypass transport. For the
DocuPrint 180, a maximum of four feeder/stackers can be supported
with the input enablement device only.
The following figure illustrates the system with the bypass transport
and the input enablement device.

A Token Ring network or an Ethernet local area network running
TCP/IP is the network communication system that may be used to
transport documents from the host to the IPS. This is an alternative
to the channel-attached configuration, in which data is transmitted via
bus and tag cables and the HCU.
Note: The TCP/IP connectivity option is not available in a VM or
VSE environment. However, a printing system with PSF/2 or
PSF/6000 can attach to a PSF/VSE system and the PSF/2 or PSF/
6000 can furnish the TCP/IP support for the IPS printer.
The Ethernet connection to the printer controller processor must be
compatible with the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
(IEEE) 802.3 standard.
The Ethernet interface on the processor is a 10 Mb/sec twisted pair
standard (10BaseT and 100BaseT). The MII (for UltraSPARC) Coax
Ethernet is enabled with an adapter cable.
Token Ring specifications
Channel-attached specifications
Note: Only the RS/6000 currently supports 100 Mb Ethernet
connectivity.
Work with your system administrator to assess what type of network
you have and what modifications need to be made to supply an
Ethernet connector to the printer controller processor.
The Token Ring connection must be compatible with the IEEE 802.3
standard. The printer controller processor has a 4MB or 16 MB
Token Ring Auto interface (16 MB is preferred).
For an online configuration with an IBM host system, the following
cables must be available:
•Bus and tag cables (bus in, bus out, tag in, tag out)
•Terminators (if necessary, due to location on channel).
For your convenience, it is possible to order the Bus and Tag cables
for the printer through Xerox Corporation on a purchase-only basis.
Contact your Xerox or Xerox Ltd. sales representative for current
pricing and order information.

facilities manager or a qualified electrician if you are not sure what
type of power is supplied to your work area.
The printer controller consists of the Sun workstation and, for
channel-attached systems, the HCU. This section provides
recommendations for placement of controller hardware components.
For printer component space requirements, refer to the “Printer
specifications and requirements” chapter of this guide. Contact your
service representative if you have questions not specifically
addressed in this guide.
You should consider the following factors when deciding where to
place the DocuPrint printer controller:
•Adequate work space and service clearance around the
equipment
•Proximity to electrical and network connectors
•Security of the work area. You may need to place the system in
an area where you can restrict access to it.
You must supply a table or desk as a work surface for both the printer
controller and the HCU. The top of the table must provide at least 36
by 36 inches / 91.4 by 91.4 cm of space for each component, to allow
enough space for the components and cables, as well as for service
access.
Refer to the “Printer controller specifications and requirements”
summary table at the end of this chapter to make sure the tables you
supply can support the weight of the printer controller hardware
elements and of the HCU, and that they are suitable for the intended
use.
Warning:The printer controller must be positioned within the line-
!
of-sight of the printer for safety purposes while servicing the
equipment.
Caution: Position the table at least 6 inches / 15.2 cm from the wall.
Make sure the workstation processor and the HCU are at least
12 inches / 30.4 cm from the wall. Do not put the processor or the
HCU on the IPSLPS printer.
Processor clearanceWhen you place your workstation processor on a table top, make
sure to allow at least 6 inches / 15.2 cm of unobstructed space at the
rear and both sides of the processor. Do not allow any piece of

When you select a site location for your DocuPrint printer, avoid
environments with extreme variations in temperature and other
hazards, such as excessive dust or humidity. Recommended
environmental ranges for the work area are as follows:
Table 6-6.Environmental specifications for 96/4635/180
You should consider the following factors when deciding where to
place the printing system hardware components:
•Adequate work space and service clearance around the
equipment
•Proximity to electrical and network connectors
•Security of the work area. You may need to place the system in
an area where you can restrict access to it. This may be
important if your personnel need to print confidential documents
or if you are concerned with unauthorized usage.
Dimensions and weights of the printer components are listed in this
section, along with diagrams, to help you visualize the sizes and total
space requirements.
Note: There must be a 78-inch / 198-cm vertical clearance
throughout the entire area. Your printer must be installed in a fixed
location with a minimum clearance space of 36 inches / 91.4 cm
around all sides of each piece of equipment for access by service
personnel. In addition, there must be 50 inches / 126.9 cm clearance
space in front of the printer.
Printer placement
For information on clearance space and other space planning
considerations, refer to the “Space planning guidelines” section of
this chapter. Contact your service representative if you have
questions not specifically addressed in this guide.
The following configurations are available for the Xerox 96/4635/180
printers:
The bypass transport option enables you to add a third-party finishing
device to your 96, 4635, or 180 printer. The bypass transport is
installed by your service representative and remains permanently in
place. You should not attempt to remove or reinstall it. The following
is supported by the bypass transport:
•Paper size and weight — You can use all of the paper sizes
•Sheet exit orientation — 1 to N (the same order in which
•Maximum throughput speed — The bypass transport for the

sheets are fed from the printer), delivered face down.
96 and 135 printer supports throughput speeds of up to 139
ppm (pages per minute). The 180 bypass transport supports
speeds up to 180 ppm. (These rates are based on stocks up to
9 by 14.33 / 229 by 364 mm in length.)
The following diagrams show the dimensions and space
requirements of the 96, 4635, and 180 with a bypass transport.
These diagrams represent top views of the components, surrounded
by the minimum access space requirements on all sides.
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.
Before installation, you must consider the following:
•Clearance space requirements where you intend to install the
printer
•Recommended cable lengths and locations (refer to the
“System connections” chapter of this guide for more
information)
•Delivery access requirements
•Floor leveling.
Shared space
The printer must be installed in a fixed location that provides the
following clearance space:
•36 inches / 91.4 cm on all sides of each component
•24 inches / 61 cm of exclusive operator area in front of each
component
•78 inches / 198 cm of vertical clearance throughout the entire
area.
Note: There must be a total of 50 inches / 126.9 cm of clearance
space in front of the printer.
It is best to provide the full amount of clearance space around the
hardware components. Your environment may require you to use
shared space between components, such as between the printer and
the printer controller or between the printer and another Xerox
printing system. You can share the 36-inch / 91.4 cm clearance
space around each component, as long as you follow these rules:
•Space may be shared only with other Xerox equipment.
•Components may share the 36-inch / 91.4 cm general service
clearance areas, but they may not share the 24-inch / 61 cm
operator area in front of each component.
•There must be 78 inches / 198 cm of vertical clearance
throughout the entire area.
Note: Finishers attached to your bypass transport and feeders
attached to your DocuPrint 4635, 96, or 180 printer through the input
enablement device may occupy shared space with Xerox equipment.
However, they must be removable to allow servicing of the DocuPrint
Face-to-face shared spaceThe 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. Face-to-face shared service area space
Face-to-back shared spaceThe 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.
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.
For your reference, two degrees represents a height discrepancy of
approximately 3.8 inches / 9.6 cm measured at the casters with the
printer tilting from left to right, or approximately 0.7 inches / 1.8 cm
with the printer tilting from back to front.
If you move the printer unit after its initial installation, it is your
responsibility to make sure that the printer can be leveled properly. If
you do not have the leveling kit (the printer in its initial location did not
require it), and you need one to level the printer in a new location,
contact your Xerox site representative to obtain one.
Delivery access requirements
It is easy to overlook the path required to move the equipment from
the truck to the operation site. To determine access, ask the following
questions:
•Does the equipment need to go up stairs?
•Do you have an elevator, if the equipment is to be located above
the first floor?
•Is the elevator large enough for the equipment?
•How wide are the hallways and doorways?
•Do you have a loading dock or a specific door to which the
equipment should be delivered?
You need to review these issues prior to, or at the time of, the site
inspection conducted by your service representative.
The equipment dimensions are specified earlier in this chapter, so it
is easy to determine whether your hallways and doorways are wide
enough to permit access.
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.

Using the turning radius tablesTo use the tables:
1. Measure the minimum width of the passage or doorway you
need to use. This is Passage A.
2. Find that number (or the next higher number) in the turning
radius table and read across to the corresponding minimum
value for Passage B, depending on the type of turn the
equipment must negotiate.
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. Do not confuse these two parts of the printer with the
inverter and feeder/stacker modules, which have their own turning
requirements.
The following table lists the turning requirements for the printer
without the PHM (separated).

The dimensions and space requirements for your printer components
are provided earlier in this chapter. The space planning templates
are designed to simplify the space planning process by helping you
to create a floor plan for your base components, particularly if you
have shared clearance space.
The easiest way to use the space planning templates is to move the
templates around on the grid located at the end of this section and
determine the optimum placement for your printer components.
Make sure to consider other pieces of equipment, such as cabinets,
tables, and optional equipment when planning your space. Your
customer support representative can help you plan space for
additional components.
The templates are to scale with the grid; each square is equal to 12
by 12 inches/30.5 by 30.5 cm. The curved dotted lines in the corners
of the space perimeters indicate the corners that may be rounded off
while still maintaining the required clearance space.
There are a number of factors to keep in mind when planning your
site, including the following:
•Clearance space requirements
•Cable length.
Refer to these sections in this manual when considering the various
factors involved in planning the appropriate location for your printing
system.
When determining your space requirements, remember to consider
all of the components you plan to have installed. If you have a bypass
transport or input enablement device option on your printing system,
you should contact the sales representatives for the company from
which you purchased your finishers and feeders, as well as your
Xerox representative, to ensure that all of your space requirements
are met.
This chapter provides cable requirements for your 96/4635/180 IPS
system. It also provides information about channel-attaching your
IPS printer. To ensure all of your cable requirements are met, it is
important to work with your Xerox representative.
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. Some of these cables are specific
lengths to conform to engineering and safety standards.
Data cablesThe printer components can be separated up to the length of the data
interface cables that connect them. The printer and controller are
connected by a 25-foot / 7.6 meter data cable.
Power cablesThe 96/4635/180 power cable lengths are as follows:
Table 7-1.Power cable lengths
Power cableLength
Printer controller8 feet / 2.1 m
Printer15 feet / 4.4 m
Warning:Using an inappropriate alternate cable may degrade the
!
performance of your equipment and may also be hazardous.
Note: Cable length loss must be factored in if equipment is installed
in a raised-floor environment. You should also consider that part of
the length of a cable is routed inside the equipment to connect with
interior power or data receptacles.
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.
•180 power cord attachments—distance from end of printer:
—Cord 1: 36 inches / 914 mm (with ELCI)
—Cord 2: 23 inches / 584 mm (with ELCI)
•96 and 4635—distance from end of printer: 14 inches / 356 mm
The IPS printing system conforms to IBM standards and
requirements for any channel-attached printer. When you channelattach your printer, keep the following in mind:
•Channel length is usually determined by the length of the
cables, the number of devices on the channel, and the number
of connections in the cable itself (for example, connecting two
cables to each other).
•Subtract 15 feet from the total allowable cable length for any
device attached to the channel or for any connection of two
cables.
•IBM channel cable lengths are as follows:
—Gray: 200 feet / 61 m (with one device, 185 feet / 56 m)
—Blue: 400 feet / 122 m (with one device, 385 feet / 117 m)
