Europe 50HZ, 220V–240V equipment

The 4235 LPS complies with the limits for a Class A computing device as documented in Subpart J, Part 15 of the FCC rules which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference when operated in a commercial environment. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause interference. In such cases, the user is responsible for the expense of correcting the interference.

The 4235 LPS does not exceed the class A limits for radio noise emissions from a digital apparatus as documented in the radio interference regulations of the Canadian Department of Communications.

Les present appareil numerique n'emet pas de bruits radioelectriques depassant les limites applicables aux appareils de classe A prescitees dans le reglement sur le brouillage radioelectrique edicte par les ministre des communications du Canada.

The 4235 LPS was tested and is certified in conformance with the European commission directive 82/499/ECC and VDE 0871/0875, class A, which relates to radio frequency interference.

Laser safety

WARNING:

procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous light exposure.

The 4235 Laser Printing System (LPS) complies with appropriate

safety standards.

With specific regard to lasers, the equipment complies with

laser product performance standards set by governmental, national, and international agencies as a Class 1 laser product. It does not emit hazardous light as the beam is totally enclosed during all phases of customer operation and maintenance.

When you perform various operator functions, laser danger

labels may be visible. These labels are for Xerox service representatives and are placed on or near panels or shields which require a tool for removal.

4235 LPS features

1. Overview

This chapter provides an overview of the following:

•

4235 Laser Printing System (LPS) software and hardware features

•

Components of the 4235 LPS

•

Fonts.

The 4235 Laser Printing System (LPS) offers simplex and duplex printing capabilities for computer–generated jobs up to a rate of 35 pages per minute.

The 4235 LPS serves as a local laser printing system through a

parallel or serial interface, or as a remote printing system through a communication line. It prints jobs that are created in the standard Xerox Distributed Print Mode (XDPM) environment with Xerox Escape Sequence (XES) commands and the following optional environments:

•

Xerox Production Print Mode (XPPM) environment with PDL/DJDE commands

•

HP Laserjet IID with PCL commands

•

XScript with PostScript commands.

Software

The 4235 LPS software allows you to do the following:

•

Sort specified files (wildcard feature).

•

Display the available disk space and percent of disk space used.

•

Monitor and change the status of a job in the print queue.

•

Receive messages sent from a host computer system.

•

Store files, fonts, and forms on the hard disk.

•

Display or print a directory of all files resident on the hard disk drive (except system files).

•

Back up all user resourses and system default values (backup system generation).

XEROX 4235 LPS INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE 1-1

OVERVIEW

•

Print job status, font names, and other pertinent data on the job summary sheet.

•

Print samples of the font, form, and image files that reside on the hard disk.

•

Control margins, line spacing, and vertical and horizontal tab settings.

•

Delete font, form, and image files remotely from a host computer system.

•

Merge forms.

•

Print 99 fonts per page, ranging from 4–point to 24–point (XDPM only).

•

Print up to 10 forms on a given page in XDPM or a single form in XPPM.

•

Print multiple copies of the same print job.

•

Print XPPM–formatted print jobs from a variety of host computer systems.

•

Hold jobs of different priorities in the print queue.

•

Prevent unauthorized menu display access by selecting one of three different access levels.

•

Customized file storage allocations

•

4235/XPPM font and form load via MS-DOS formatted diskettes

Hardware

The 4235 LPS hardware features allow you to do the following:

•

Print up to 35 pages per minute.

•

Print on transparencies, labels, preprinted forms, and predrilled paper.

•

Use a wide range of paper sizes from 5.83 by 8.27 inches up to 11.69 by 16.54 inches. (Refer to the "Fonts, supplies, and accessories" section in this guide for more information.)

•

Load paper less frequently. The combined four input paper trays hold a maximum of 3,350 sheets of 20–pound (80– gsm) paper.

•

Use a range of paper weights from 16–pound (60–gsm) to 32–pound (120–gsm).

1-2 XEROX 4235 LPS INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE

•

Unload paper less frequently. The high capacity stacker holds up to 2,000 sheets of 20–pound (80–gsm) paper. The top output tray holds up to 250 sheets of 20–pound (80– gsm) paper.

•

Offset multiple print jobs so that each job stacks to the right or left of the previous job.

•

Know when the 4235 LPS requires operator attention. The alarm indicator lights up on the user interface screen and the audible tone sounds (if enabled).

•

Load paper into an empty tray while paper feeds from another tray (automatic tray switching).

•

Maintain proper print density without making manual adjustments (automatic print quality control).

•

Print to a resolution of 300 by 300 spots per inch (spi).

•

Reduce electricity consumption with the energy saver feature.

•

Back up hard disk files onto 3.5 inch double–sided, high– density micro diskettes.

•

Use Centronics or DataProducts parallel interfaces

•

Use RS232C serial interfaces.

•

Interfaces

The 4235 LPS supports the following communication protocols, but not by all emulation modes:

•

Parallel communication (Centronics or DataProducts)

•

Serial asynchronous communication (XDPM, HP IID, and XScript only)

•

Serial synchronous communication (SNA/SDLC or bisynchronous) (XDPM and XPPM only).

The 4235 LPS has two communication ports. Only one parallel interface and one serial interface can run concurrently. For example, you cannot successfully connect two bisynchronous interfaces and SNA/SDLC interfaces or two parallel interfaces at the same time.

Minimum and maximum 4235 LPS configurations

The following are the minimum and maximum 4235 LPS configurations:

Standard and optional fonts

The 4235 LPS is delivered with a number of system fonts permanently stored on the hard disk. Font loading utilities permit the addition of other fonts in two ways:

•

Fonts downloaded from your host computer system

•

Fonts loaded from a font disk inserted in the micro diskette drive.

Note:

Only 3.5 inch double–sided, high–density micro diskettes can be used, even though the 4235 LPS can read double–sided, double–density micro diskettes.

1-6 XEROX 4235 LPS INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE

For information on how to order fonts, refer to the "Fonts,

supplies, and accessories" chapter in this guide.

XDPM fonts

Table 1-1 lists the three landscape and two portrait system fonts available for printing jobs formatted using XES in Xerox Distributed Print Mode (XDPM).

OVERVIEW

XDPM default fonts

Note:

The character "–P" at the end of the font name indicates portrait orientation, and "–L" indicates landscape orientation.

The system default font prints all XDPM jobs unless you select another font to replace it. The 4235 LPS uses the following default fonts:

•

XCP14–L for 60 Hz laser printing systems

•

XCP12.5iso–L for 50 Hz laser printing systems.

The default font orientation is landscape. If you choose to print in the portrait font orientation and do not select an alternate portrait font, the 4235 LPS prints in the following font:

•

Titan10iso–P for 60 Hz laser printing systems

•

You select the default font on the 4235 LPS menu screens at the time of installation. You can choose one of the resident system fonts or an alternate font you have loaded onto the hard disk.

Note:

Do not select an inverse portrait font as the default font.
