The 4635 LPS

1. LPS overview

This chapter provides a brief overview of the Xerox 4635 Laser Printing System (LPS).

The Xerox 4635 Laser Printing System is a versatile, highperformance laser printing system that processes and prints data from a variety of sources. It enables host mainframe computers and network-connected devices (such as workstations and graphic scanners) to produce publications and other documents, incorporating graphics, forms, logos, signatures, and a variety of fonts.

The computer processing and memory features built into the 4635 LPS eliminate the need for a host computer to store and manage forms, fonts, logos, and other document resources.

Data is printed at a rate of up to 135 pages per minute, or up to 154 pages per minute with the optional 7X10 input enablement kit. A variety of fonts ranging in size from 3 points to 36 points, in all four orientations (portrait, inverse portrait, landscape, inverse landscape), and many publishing typefaces are available to meet your printing requirements. In addition to the standard set of fonts that is delivered with the LPS, special or customized fonts can be developed by the Xerox Font Center.

Figure 1-1 shows one of the 4635 configuration options. For information on the various 4635 LPS printer configuration options, refer to the “Printer configurations“ section in the “LPS options“ chapter.

LPS OVERVIEW

Processor feeder trays Two processor feeder trays are located in the main part of the

printer:

• The main tray (tray 1) holds up to 1100 sheets of 20

pound/75 gsm (grams per square meter) paper.

• The auxiliary tray (tray 2) holds up to 600 sheets of 20

pound/75 gsm paper.

Inverter The inverter is part of the inverter feeder/stacker module. It

allows for proper collation of the print job. It also directs printed output to the sample tray, when required.

High-capacity feeder There is a high-capacity feeder (HCF) tray located in the bottom

half of each feeder/stacker module. Each HCF tray can hold up to 2600 sheets of 20 pound/75 gsm

paper.

High-capacity stacker There is a high-capacity stacker (HCS) bin located in the top half

of each feeder/stacker module. Each HCS bin can hold up to 2500 sheets of 20 pound/75 gsm

paper. Paper can be stacked directly onto the HCS pallet or into a specially-designed container. Stacking capacity is approximately 100 to 150 sheets less when stacking into a container.

Sample tray The sample tray located on top of the printer holds up to 100

sheets of paper. Output such as transparencies and sample prints of fonts or forms are sent to the sample tray.

Purge tray The purge tray is located on top of the feeder/stacker module.

Aborted sheets (for example, damaged sheets or sheets cleared after a paper jam) are sent to this tray. The purge tray can hold up to 100 sheets of paper.

Printer control console 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 conditions, such as low toner. The printer control console also contains buttons which allow you to control certain functions of the printer (for example, continuing an interrupted job) without returning to the PC UI or terminal.

Attention light An attention light is mounted on top of the inverter module.

The attention light signals when the printer requires operator attention.

Attention alarm The attention alarm sounds when the printer requires operator

attention. The alarm may be disabled by the operator.

Interface options

The following interface and system disk options are available for your Xerox 4635 Laser Printing System (LPS) system controller.

Your laser printing system may be configured for either the online interface, the offline interface, or both (switchable). HIP (host interface processor)-accessed interfaces are also available.

Online interface

The online (channel-attached) interface receives input directly from any environment that supports the IBM 3211 and 4245 host systems.

Offline interfaces

The offline interface is an excellent alternative or addition to an online operation. It supports:

• 9-track magnetic tapes

• 18-track cartridge tapes. The 9-track magnetic and 18-track cartridge tape drives are

housed in a peripheral cabinet, as shown in figure 2-1.

XEROX 4635 LASER PRINTING SYSTEM INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE 2-1

LPS OPTIONS

Figure 2-1. Peripheral cabinet with tape drives

1 9-track magnetic tape drive 2 18-track cartridge tape drive

9-track magnetic tape drive The 9-track (1600 and 6250 bpi) magnetic tape drive is an

alternative or additional offline capability to the 18-track cartridge tape drive. It is a source for print data such as forms, graphics, and variable data. System software and diagnostics can also be input from the 9-track magnetic tape drive. This tape drive can write data to tape for system backup or for printing at a later time.

18/36 track cartridge tape drive Like the 9-track magnetic tape drive, the front-loading 18/36 track

cartridge tape drive is a source for inputting forms, graphics, variable data, and other files to the 4635 LPS system controller for printing or storage. The 18/36 track cartridge tape drive reads and writes IBM-compatible and ANSI-compatible 0.5 inch tape in the 3480 or 3490 data format.

HIP-accessed interfaces

The Host Interface Processor (HIP) software supports communication in the following environments:

• Xerox Network Systems (XNS) (Ethernet interface)

• Xerox Print Access Facility (XPAF)

• Xerox Print Service Manager (XPSM)

XNS Xerox Network Systems (XNS) enables communication between

devices such as workstations and graphic stations and the LPS through a network. Ethernet is the physical connection for the network, and Interpress is the page description language used in packaging files for transmission over the network to the LPS.

XPAF Xerox Print Access Facility (XPAF) is a host-resident product that

retrieves data streams from JES and prepares them for printing on a Xerox laser printer.

2-2 XEROX 4635 LASER PRINTING SYSTEM INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE

XPSM Xerox Print Service Manager (XPSM) is a printing solution for

production printing environments. It consists of both client and server sites.

Expanded system disk memory

The 4635 LPS has one standard 650 MB system disk with optional expansion up to 2,600 MB in 650 MB increments.

Enhanced graphics ink and font memory (EGIFM)

The 4635 LPS has a standard 64 Mbits of font/graphic memory that can be expanded to 256 Mbits.

Floppy disk drive

When installed, the optional floppy disk drive is located in the system controller, to the right of the 1/4 inch cartridge tape drive. It allows you to transfer files between a floppy disk and the system controller's hard disk. Therefore, it provides an alternative way for backing up and restoring system controller rigid disk files.

LPS OPTIONS

Printer options

Feeder stacker

Bypass transport

The 4635 LPS has an Inverter Feeder Stacker, and up to three optional feeder stackers.

Refer to the section “Printer components“ in the “LPS overview“ chapter for information on the feeder stackers.

The ability to add finishers to your 4635 LPS is made possible by the Bypass Transport option. Finishers increase your production capabilities by providing a wide range of finishing choices, such as stitching, shrink wrapping, and so on.

Connected to the feeder/stacker, the bypass transport allows finishers to interface directly with your 4635 LPS. The bypass transport meets the Xerox Document Feeding and Finishing Architecture (DFA) Level 1 specifications.

Xerox Pen Plotter Interface (XPPI)/XDGI interfaces with your host computer applications graphics software and converts vector information to raster information.

Host Forms Description Language (HFDL) enables forms to be created and modified on the host, merged with other data, and printed on the LPS. HFDL eliminates the need for preprinted forms and saves time in forms creation by using English-like commands.

Xerox Printer Access Facility (XPAF) enhances the capabilities and use of your LPS in an IBM MVS/XA environment. For example, it allows you to change printer destinations without restructuring the data stream. XPAF accepts numerous types of data streams, transforms and conditions them, and then sends them to the selected printer.

3. Preinstallation

This chapter will assist you in preparing for the installation of your 4635 Laser Printing System (LPS). Consult your customer support representative for the requirements of any optional equipment or communications devices that may have been ordered. For example, the peripheral cabinet and bypass transport options have space requirements, and Ethernet requires that you establish an Ethernet address. Refer to the “LPS options” chapter of this guide for further information.

Keep in mind that preparing for your LPS installation is a responsibility shared by both your site and your Xerox or Rank Xerox representatives. Your representatives are available to discuss installation issues and to assist you in completing the site installation responsibilities.

Prior to installation, a site must be carefully selected and prepared, and supplies must be ordered. This chapter will help you accomplish these tasks by providing the following information:

• LPS space and delivery requirements

• Environmental and electrical requirements

• Cabling requirements

• Supply requirements. If you have purchased additional equipment for use with your

4635 LPS, such as finishers or feeders, from a company other than Xerox, it is important to remember to work with the representatives of the company when planning the installation. Space planning, electrical and environmental requirements, and so forth, are important considerations to remember.

LPS space and delivery requirements

Dimensions and weights of the 4635 LPS system controller and printer are listed in this chapter, along with diagrams to help you visualize the sizes and total space requirements.

Note: There must be a 78-inch/1981-mm vertical clearance throughout the entire area. In addition, your LPS must be installed in a fixed location with a minimum clearance space of 36 inches/914 mm around all sides of each piece of equipment for access by service personnel. 50 inches/1270 mm clearance is required in front of the 4635 printer (refer to figure 3-3).

For information on sharing space and other space planning considerations, refer to the “Space planning guidelines” section of this chapter. Space planning templates, a space planning template transparency, and a grid are also provided at the end of this chapter to assist you in planning the placement of your 4635 LPS. Contact your service representative if you have questions not specifically addressed in this guide.

Space planning guidelines

Clearance space requirements

PREINSTALLATION

Your 4635 LPS must be installed in a fixed location and have:

• 36 inches/914 mm of clearance on all sides of each component, including any finishers or feeders you have attached to your 4635 LPS. 50 inches/1270 mm clearance is required at the front of the printer

• 78 inches/1981 mm of vertical clearance throughout the entire area

• 24 inches/610 mm of exclusive operator area in front of each component.

Shared space

It is always best to provide the full amount of clearance space around your LPS. It is sometimes necessary, however, to have shared space between components, such as between the printer and the system controller, or between the 4635 LPS and another printing system. It is possible to share the 36-inch/914-mm clearance space around each component, but there are three rules which must always be observed:

• Space may be shared only with other Xerox equipment.

• Components may share the 36-inch/914-mm general service clearance areas, but they may not share the 24-inch/61-mm operator area in front of each component.

• There must be 78 inches/1981 mm of vertical clearance throughout the entire area.

Note: Finishers attached to your bypass transport and feeders attached to your 4635 LPS through the input enablement device may occupy shared space with Xerox equipment. However, they must meet the Xerox DFA Level 1 specifications and be removable to allow servicing of the 4635 LPS feeder/stackers. Consult with your Xerox or Rank Xerox representatives to ensure all the requirements are met.

XEROX 4635 LASER PRINTING SYSTEM INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE 3-7

PREINSTALLATION

Figures 3-8 and 3-9 illustrate two possible configurations of shared space. In the first illustration, two printers are back to back. Because there is no operator area to be concerned with, the entire 36 inches of general service space may be shared.

Figure 3-8. Back-to-back shared service area space

3-8 XEROX 4635 LASER PRINTING SYSTEM INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE

PREINSTALLATION

Figure 3-9 shows the minimum service space required between two 4635 printers positioned face-to-face. The printers should be separated by at least 74 inches/1880 mm. This allows enough space for the front panels of one printer to be opened, without obstructing the 24 inch/610 mm operator area of the other printer.

Figure 3-9. Face-to-face shared service area space

When determining your space requirements and planning for shared space between your LPS, it is important to consider all the components you plan to have installed. If you have an optional bypass transport or input enablement device on your 4635 LPS, you need to consider the size and configuration of the finishers and feeders you purchase. A finisher can add considerable length to your LPS and possibly consume space in front of your LPS. Your feeder may require a large amount of space behind your LPS.

The 36-inch/914-mm clearance space around each component must be observed for your feeders and finishers, therefore, must be considered when planning configuration of your systems. To ensure all the space requirements are met, it is important to work with your Xerox or Rank Xerox representatives, as well as the representatives of the company from which you have purchased your finishers and feeders.

XEROX 4635 LASER PRINTING SYSTEM INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE 3-9

PREINSTALLATION

Cable lengths

Cable lengths are important considerations in planning your LPS layout, as components cannot be separated by more than the recommended cable distance. These distances affect these placements:

• The printer and the system controller

• The PC UI

• The optional peripheral cabinet.

Note: There are also distance requirements for some LPS options. Please consult with your customer support representative for these requirements.

Data cables 4635 LPS components can be separated up to the length of the

data interface cables that connect them.

• The printer and the system controller are connected by a 50foot/15.24-m data cable.

• The system controller and the PC UI are connected by a 25foot/7.62-m data cable.

• The system controller and the optional peripheral cabinet are connected by a 10-foot/3-m data cable.

Refer to figure 3-10 for the power and data cable locations and lengths.

Figure 3-10. Power cable and data cable length

3-10 XEROX 4635 LASER PRINTING SYSTEM INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE

Cable locations

PREINSTALLATION

Power cables 4635 LPS power cable lengths are as follows:

System controller: 15 feet/4.5 m Printer: 15 feet/6 feet/1.8 m/4.5 m (60 Hz)

17 feet/5.1 m (50 Hz, no plug) PC UI: 6 feet/1.8 m Peripheral cabinet option: 15 feet/4.5m

Note: Cable length loss must be factored in if equipment is installed in a raised-floor environment. You should also consider that part of a cable's length is routed inside the equipment to connect with interior power or data receptacles.

To run the cables beneath the flooring effectively, you need to know where the cables enter and exit the printer and the system controller. Figure 3-11 shows those locations (marked with an X).

Efficiency of use

Figure 3-11. Cable enter/exit locations (top view)

There are many possible layouts for your LPS. Placement depends on the type and amount of equipment used and the size and shape of the room used to house the equipment. Some possible configurations for LPS components include:

• Side by side

• L-shaped

• Face to face. Equipment placement should limit operator movements as much

as possible. Here are a few suggestions that may be helpful:

• Place the system controller as close to the output end of the printer as possible. This will enable operators to simply reach over to collect printed materials and check output.

• Consider the location of supplies in relation to the placement

PREINSTALLATION

Delivery access requirements

Turning radius The width of the passageway when the equipment must

of the equipment. For example, having paper as close to the printer as possible will save time.

• Having the system controller as close as possible to any offline interface devices saves time when monitoring tapes, jobs, and so forth.

It is easy to overlook how the equipment is going to get from the truck to the operation site. Does it need to go up stairs? Do you have an elevator if it is to be located above the first floor? Is the elevator large enough? How wide are the hallways? The doorways? Do you have a loading dock or a specific door to which the equipment should be delivered?

All these issues need to be reviewed prior to or at the time of the site inspection that is done by your service representative.

The equipment dimensions are specified earlier in this chapter, so it is easy to know whether or not your hallways and doorways are wide enough to permit travel through them.

negotiate a corner, whether into a room (or elevator) or into another passageway, must also be considered.

The 4635 is delivered with the printer, inverter feeder/stacker, and the feeder/stacker as three separate modules. If necessary, the printer can be separated into two pieces for easier moving. The larger of the two parts contains the xerographic system; the smaller of the parts (referred to here as the PHM) contains paper trays 1 and 2. Table 3-1 describes the turning requirements for the printer when attached to the PHM (not separated). Table 3-2 describes requirements for the printer without the PHM (separated). Do not confuse these two parts of the printer with the inverter and feeder/stacker modules, which have their own turning requirements.

Table 3-3 describes the turning requirements for the printer if it is upended for easier moving or stair-climbing. This table reflects requirements for the printer separated from the PHM.

Tables 3-4 and 3-5 describe the turning requirements for the inverter/feeder/stacker and the feeder/stacker modules.

The relatively small dimensions of the 4635 system controller and the optional peripheral cabinet are not likely to be of concern during delivery. Refer to figures 3-1 and 3-2 for their dimensions.

The diagrams and the tables that follow show the minimum space needed to maneuver through a turn. To use the tables, measure the passage or doorway width into which you wish to go at its minimum width. This is Passage A. Find that number (or the next higher number) on the appropriate table and read across to the corresponding minimum value for Passage B (the passage or doorway you are turning from).

Finishing and feeding equipment

Interface requirements

Channel-attached

PREINSTALLATION

It is important to note that while the Bypass Transport and Input Enablement options provide you with an interface between your 4635 LPS and your finishing and feeding accessories, they require their own AC and DC power sources. The power must be independent of your 4635 LPS.

Consult your Xerox or Rank 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.

For an online configuration with an IBM host system, the following cables must be available:

Third party connections

• Bus and tag cables (bus in, bus out, tag in, tag out)

• Emergency power off (EPO) cable (optional)

• 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 purchaseonly basis. Contact your Xerox or Rank Xerox sales representative for current pricing and order information.

Xerox supports a number of third party connections. For more information, contact your Xerox or Rank Xerox sales representative or call the Xerox Connection between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. Pacific time at:

Training

Operator training

This section describes the Operator and Systems training available for the 4635 LPS.

Operator training is conducted at your location shortly after your LPS has been installed. Training takes approximately four to seven hours, depending on the system configuration, and includes hands-on practice running basic jobs, maintenance, and problem solving. Determine the number of operators you want to attend initial training, and schedule training dates and times through your Xerox sales representative.

Advanced Customer Training (ACT) is available at the Xerox training center in Leesburg, Virginia. Discuss candidates for this training with your Xerox sales representative, if desired. Keep in mind that operators should not be considered for ACT until they have spent several months working with the LPS and have shown good mechanical aptitude. Call Xerox Customer Education at 1800-445-5554 to schedule ACT.

Systems training

Several training workshops and a self-study course are included in the LPS technical training curriculum. Workshops are designed to provide a system overview, as well as forms creation, job control, and increased productivity expertise. The workshops include the following courses:

• LPS Introduction Workshop (8R7036). This one-day workshop includes a technical overview of Xerox LPS features, system disk structure, operating system software, the system generation procedure, disk utilities, problem solving, and an introduction to command files. Hands-on experience includes configuring and generating a new software system and performing maintenance procedures using the LPS utility commands.

• LPS Forms Description Language (FDL) Workshop (8R7030). This one-day workshop provides instruction on FDL commands, inserting logos and graphics, using the forms design ruler and quick reference card, coding and printing electronic forms, modifying a form to print variable data, and converting to a two-up format.

• LPS FDL Self Study Kit (600P87918) and LPS FDL Self Study (600P87918A). This self-study option for FDL training provides all of the information presented in the FDL Workshop as well as exercises to be completed on your LPS.

• LPS Print Description Language (PDL) Workshop (8R7033). This three-day workshop provides lecture and hands-on practice for using PDL commands to identify the source and format of input to the LPS, using special processing options, defining how printed documents should be formatted, merging forms with variable data, specifying when and where various fonts, typestyles, and sizes should be used within a

Ordering supplies for installation

Fonts

Consumable supplies (those that are depleted during operation of the LPS), such as paper, dry ink, developer, and fuser agent, need to be ordered for your LPS. It is important that you have an adequate supply on hand for installation and that you maintain an adequate supply after installation.

A set of standard fonts is provided with your system (refer to the “LPS overview” chapter). If nonstandard fonts are needed, they also must be ordered from the Xerox Font Center, described in the “Postinstallation“ chapter.

This section describes the fonts and supplies needed for installation. Your Xerox or Rank Xerox sales representative will help you place your initial order for fonts (if any) and supplies. The “Postinstallation” chapter provides you with the information you need to order additional supplies as you require them, a consumable supplies table, and a supplies checklist.

Data can be printed on the 4635 in many sizes and typestyles called fonts. A font is a character set which has unique characteristics, such as typestyle, size, weight, orientation (portrait, landscape, inverse portrait, and inverse landscape), character spacing (fixed and proportional), line spacing, and postures (Roman, italic, and so forth).

There are three classifications of fonts:

• Standard fonts

• Licensed fonts

• Custom fonts.

Standard fonts Provided with your LPS operating system software is a library of

XEROX 4635 LASER PRINTING SYSTEM INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE 3-23

PREINSTALLATION

over 250 standard 300 spi fonts, referred to as the A03 font family.

Licensed fonts In addition to the library of standard fonts delivered with your

LPS, over 100 licensed fonts may be ordered from the Xerox Font Center.

Custom fonts Custom fonts and graphic images such as company logos and

signatures can be digitized by the Xerox Font Center for use on your LPS.

Receiving fonts The fonts provided by the Xerox Font Center are contained on 9-

track tape, 18-track cartridges, or 1/4-inch cartridges. One tape may contain several fonts, each of which is a separate file. Fonts may also be sent to the LPS from an online host computer through an IBM-compatible channel.

As with the other initial supplies, your Xerox or Rank Xerox sales representative will assist you with determining your LPS fonts needs for installation. After installation, the Xerox Font Center can help you order additional licensed and custom fonts. (Refer to the “Xerox Font Center” section of the “Postinstallation“ chapter )

Paper

You need to select your paper carefully; without the proper paper, you increase the probability of paper jams and misfeeds.

Your LPS can print on standard white, colored, predrilled, and preprinted (that is, letterhead and forms) paper, labels, and transparencies. They must meet the specifications set forth by Xerox for operability in the LPS. Additional information about paper for your LPS can be found in your LPS operator guide.

Use a good quality xerographic grade paper. For best results, use 20-pound/75 gsm bond xerographic grade paper. Xerox papers are specifically designed for optimal performance in your laser printing system. (Refer to the consumable supplies table at the end of chapter 5.)

Use paper within these parameters:

Lightest: 16-pound/60-gsm (grams per square meter) Heaviest: 110-pound/200-gsm

The 4635 accepts paper sizes as small as 7 by 10 inches/187 mm by 254 mm, with the optional 7X10 enablement kit. Larger paper sizes, such as 11 by 17 inches/297 by 432 mm, A3 (297 by 420 mm/11.69 by 16.54 inches) and B4 (257 by 364 mm/10.12 by

14.33 inches), can also be fed.

Paper has a tendency to curl under the heat that is present inside xerographic equipment. Paper with low moisture content curls less. Paper with excessive moisture content has a tendency to jam because of the greater curl.

Note: The maximum recommended moisture content is 5.7 percent.

Paper is fed into the LPS with the long side as the leading edge. (A3 and 11- by 17-inch paper sizes are fed short edge first.) The

3-24 XEROX 4635 LASER PRINTING SYSTEM INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE

Dry ink (toner)

PREINSTALLATION

grain should be parallel with the long side (long-grain) for the most reliable feeding and stacking. Purchase long-grain paper.

Keep these points in mind when preparing your paper storage area:

• Store paper in its own wrapper; do not leave it unwrapped or where it can be damaged by dampness or heat.

• Store paper on a flat surface and not on its side or edge.

• Always store in a cool, dry area.

• Store on pallets or shelves, not on the floor.

• Before use, paper should spend at least one day in the same area as the printer to allow environmental stabilization.

Dry ink (also referred to as “toner”) is the black powder which forms the image on the printed page. There are three cartridges of dry ink in each container. Keep an adequate supply on hand at all times. The operator can change throw-away cartridges easily with no mess. Use only dry ink that is specified for use in your LPS. (Refer to the consumable supplies table at the end of the “Postinstallation“ chapter.)

Fuser agent

Developer

Tapes

Note: For a 4635MX system use only dry ink specifically

designed for that system.

Fuser agent is a consumable item required by the LPS. Keep an adequate supply on hand for installation by the Xerox or Rank Xerox service representative.

Developer is a required item that needs to be ordered and kept on hand. It is changed by a Xerox or Rank Xerox service representative. Use only developer specified for use in your LPS. (Refer to the consumable supplies table at the end of chapter 5.)

Each of the tape drives available on the 4635 LPS requires a different tape format.

The 1/4-inch QIC tape drive uses quarter-inch stream cartridge tapes. The tape data capacity should be 320 MB with 225 KB/second data transfer rate.

The optional 18-track tape drive uses 0.5-inch IBM 3480compatible cartridge tapes with a data capacity of 200 MB. Cartridges are not available from Xerox.

The optional 9-track tape drive supports reel-to-reel 9-track 1600 bpi (PE) and 6250 bpi (GCR) encoded magnetic tapes.

XEROX 4635 LASER PRINTING SYSTEM INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE 3-25

PREINSTALLATION

Space planning templates

The dimensions and space requirements for 4635 components are provided earlier in this chapter. The space planning templates are designed to simplify the space planning process by helping you create a floor plan for 4635 base components, particularly if you have shared clearance space.

The easiest way to use the space planning templates is to cut the transparency located at the end of this chapter and move the templates around on the grid (also located at the end of this chapter) to find the optimum placement for your LPS components. Be sure to consider other pieces of equipment, such as storage cabinets and tables, when planning space for your LPS.

The templates are to scale with the grid; each square is equal to 12 by 12 inches/305 by 305 mm. 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.

The templates provided are for the system controller, printer with feeder/stacker modules, and the peripheral cabinet option. Be sure to allow space for optional equipment as appropriate. Your customer support representative can help you plan space for additional components.

There are a number of factors to keep in mind when planning your site. These include:

• Clearance space requirements

• Cable length

• Efficiency of use.

Refer to these sections when considering the various factors in planning the appropriate location for your 4635 LPS.

When determining your space requirements, remember to consider all the components you plan to have installed. If you have a bypass transport or input enablement device option on your 4635 LPS, you need to work with the sales representatives of the company from which you purchase your finishers and feeders, as well as your Xerox or Rank Xerox representatives, to ensure space requirements are met.

Refer to figure 3-15 when determining your space requirements.

Routine maintenance

POSTINSTALLATION

— The part number — The quantity desired — If your company requires a purchase order for payment

of an invoice, you need to provide the purchase order number to Xerox at the time you place the order.

There are a number of routine maintenance tasks that must be performed to ensure maximum efficiency of your LPS. These tasks include the following:

• Adding dry ink

• Cleaning the tape drives

• Cleaning the PC and the exterior surfaces of the system.

Step-by-step instructions on performing these routine maintenance tasks are contained in the Xerox 4635 LPS Operator Guide. You need to decide how many operators will be responsible for performing these maintenance tasks. Most maintenance procedures are covered in the initial operator training provided shortly after installation.

Meter reading and reporting

Identifying new applications

As print jobs are processed, firmware in the printer or software in the system controller accumulates, saves, and maintains usage data in its nonvolatile memory.

Sometime during the last five working days of each month, that data needs to be reviewed and the information transmitted to Xerox for billing purposes. Refer to your Xerox 4635 LPS Operator Guide for complete instructions on how to report meter readings.

Laser printing can be used for any application that requires immediate output and/or frequent updating. Following is a list of some applications for which laser printing is suited:

Forms Service manuals Proposals Financial statements Reports Inventory reports Price lists Retail bar codes Catalogs Insurance policies Invoices Telephone directories Statements Personnel rosters Newsletters Labels Legal briefs Manuscript page proofs Technical specifications

This list is not all-inclusive but is intended to help you begin what should be an ongoing internal support process. At some point, you may want to check with all the departments within your organization to see which applications do (or will) apply to them.
