• 96 NPS

• 96 MICR NPS

• 4635 NPS

• 4635 MICR NPS

• 180 NPS

• 180 MICR NPS

The Xerox DocuPrint 96/4635/180 NPS and 96/4635/180 MICR NPS are versatile, high-performance printing systems. They enable personal computers and other network-connected devices (such as workstations and graphic scanners) to produce documents incorporating graphics, forms, logos, signatures, and fonts.

With DocuPrint 96/4635/180 NPS and 96/4635/180 MICR NPS, management information systems (MIS) and data processing (DP) environments can have a high-performance, high-speed, PostScript, VIPP, ASCII, and HP PCL 5e compatible printer.

XEROX DOCUPRINT NETWORK PRINTER SERIES INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE FOR MODELS 96/4635/180 NPS 1-1

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

One or more of the following network communication systems may be used to transport documents from the client workstation to the printer:

• Ethernet local area network (LAN) running Transmission

Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), AppleTalk, or Novell NetWare network protocol software.

• Token Ring running TCP/IP, Novell 3.x, or AppleTalk network

protocol software.

• Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) running TCP/IP, Novell

3.x, or Apple Talk network protocols. The FDDI supports a Single Connection configuration only.

Multiple network devices may be installed on the same NPS controller. The default network device that ships with your NPS controller is a 100 Mbit Ethernet connection. You may install other network devices by installing additional network cards, provided each card has a unique network to which it connects. For example, if you use a Token Ring network connection, you have the option of using the default Ethernet device as a secondary network.

If you choose to install multiple network devices on your NPS controller, the following parameters apply:

• You must select a primary network device and designate any

others as secondary. The primary network device does not have to be the default Ethernet device that ships with your controller; it can be any of the network devices installed.

• You must run the TCP/IP protocol on the primary network

device. You may also run TCP/IP on other network devices. For each network device running TCP/IP, you must specify a unique IP address and IP netmask. For the primary network device, you must specify the HostName and router IP address. The HostName for any secondary devices is created from the name chosen for the primary device.

Note: You may not use the NPS controller as an IP router. Consequently, the router IP address must be on the primary network devices network only.

• You may run the AppleTalk protocol on only one network device.

The network device on which AppleTalk is run does not have to be the primary network device.

• You may run Novell protocols on only the primary network

device.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Ethernet LAN

Tok en R ing

Users of networked client workstations may send print jobs to the DocuPrint NPS printer over the Ethernet LAN using TCP/IP, AppleTalk using EtherTalk Link Access Protocol (ELAP), or Novell NetWare 3.1x as the network protocol.

Regardless of printing or transmission protocol, the Ethernet connection to the printer controller must be compatible with the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.3 standard.

Users of network client workstations may send print jobs to the DocuPrint NPS printer over Token Ring network using TCP/IP, Novell 3.x, or AppleTalk network protocol.

Regardless of printing transmission protocol, the Token Ring connection to the printer controller must be compatible with the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.5 standard.

Fiber Distributed Data Interface

NPS/IPS Dual Mode

TCP/IP, Novell 3.x, and Apple Talk network protocols are supported over FDDI. The FDDI supports a Single Connection configuration only.

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.

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.

MICR printing features

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The DocuPrint 96 MICR NPS, 4635 MICR NPS, and 180 MICR NPS produce a Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR) line on negotiable and turnaround documents such as checks and bills. The MICR printing system prints 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 1-2. Example of a check printed with MICR line (U. S.)

The 96 MICR, 4635 MICR, and 180 MICR NPS 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 features The DocuPrint 96 MICR, 4635 MICR, and 180 MICR NPS 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.

XEROX DOCUPRINT NETWORK PRINTER SERIES INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE FOR MODELS 96/4635/180 NPS 1-7

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

MICR fonts Xerox provides a set of 300 dpi E13B and CMC7 MICR fonts for use

with your 96/4635/180 MICR NPS. 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 NPS 96/4635/180 Troubleshooting Guide.

PRINTER COMPONENTS AND OPTIONS

Printer control console

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.
