Introduction

The Xerox 4050/4090/4450/4650 LPS Installation Planning guide
helps you prepare for delivery and installation of your new Xerox
Laser Printing System (LPS). This is one of many manuals
available with your new LPS. You received it first to help you
plan for installation. You receive the complete reference set
when your LPS is delivered.
This manual is intended for the person responsible for
coordinating the installation of the printer at your site.
Along with descriptions of Xerox and Customer responsibilities,
this guide provides the following information for each phase of
installation:
Phase Activities/concerns
Preinstallation Space planning, electrical and environmental requirements, and
connectivity information.
Installation Customer: Supplies on site, system specialist available,
operators available, document and software kits checked, and test jobs ready.
Xerox: Installing the LPS, loading software and applications, setting interface parameters, training operators, and reviewing preventive maintenance schedules and service call procedures.
Postinstallation Calling for service, scheduling routine maintenance procedure,

Responsibilities

Xerox responsibilities

1. Preinstallation

This chapter assists you in preparing for the installation of your
Laser Printing System (LPS). Consult your sales representative for
the requirements of any related equipment or communications
devices that may have been ordered.
A successful installation depends upon both you and Xerox. The
sections that follow describe your responsibilities and the
responsibilities Xerox has to you. Some areas overlap and are
joint responsibilities. Your service representatives are available to
discuss installation issues and to assist you in completing the site
installation.
Site selection Assist in site selection
Inspect and improve site
Installation
Training
Support
Schedule the delivery of your LPS
Monitor installation activities
Assist you in ordering supplies and fonts
Install the LPS
Configure your system parameters (4450/MRP)
Provide standard operator training
Assist in determining system and training needs
Assist in scheduling system and user training
Provide assistance and information, as needed, in the areas of:
— Software capabilities — Selecting software options — Operations — Applications and forms development — Interface capabilities — Interface capabilities with third-party finishers
Service
Review preventive maintenance schedules and service call procedures
Xerox responsibilities prior to, during, and after installation are
outlined in table 1-1. Some services are dependent on the
amount of support purchased or included with your system.
Table 1-1. Xerox responsibilities
Determine your needs and then set the wire percentage indicator on the printer
control console (stitcher/stacker option)
Provide ongoing system maintenance
Resolve hardware/software problems.
XEROX 4050/4090/4450/4650 LPS INSTALLATION PLANNING 1-1
PREINSTALLATION
Customer responsibilities
Your responsibilities prior to, during, and after installation are
detailed in table 1-2.
Table 2-1. Customer responsibilities
Activities Identify the primary interface with Xerox
Select and prepare the site for LPS installation (including adequate power and air
conditioning)
Obtain the necessary interfaces, cables, transceivers, phone lines, and so on, if
connecting to other equipment
Plan for and schedule installation activities
Monitor progress for a successful installation
Provide space for hardware options
Work with your sales representative to determine requirements for initial
applications
Work with your service representative to determine the “low wire” percent values
to be displayed on the printer control console (stitcher/stacker option)
Select operators and system specialists, and schedule their training.
Notes:
In a mixed environment where there are a variety of printing systems, discuss print quality differences with your service representative.
Ensure that your system specialists are familiar with the operating system software specific to your LPS. Operating system software is not the same for all laser printing systems. If your system specialists are familiar with one operating system and you are converting to or adding another, they should learn the differences between the systems.
Training Operator training is conducted at your site shortly after the LPS is installed. Operators
receive hands-on instruction regarding printing jobs, maintenance, and problem solving. Xerox offers a number of workshops and self-paced courses that teach advanced skills, including Advanced Customer Training (ACT). Contact your sales representative for additional information about these courses, or call Xerox Customer Education at 1-800­445-5554. Refer to the “Training” section of this chapter.
Personnel One or more people need to be assigned the following routine LPS tasks:
Preventive maintenance and cleaning
Changing stitcher wire (with the stitcher/stacker option; performed by ACT-trained
operators only)
Meter reading and reporting
Placing service calls for hardware problems and applications-related issues
Identifying and implementing new applications
Ordering additional fonts
Ordering supplies.
Refer to the “Postinstallation” chapter for information on these activities.

Installation planning checklist

PREINSTALLATION
An installation planning checklist is provided to aid you in LPS
installation planning. Table 1-3 summarizes the tasks that must
be performed and when in the installation process they should
occur.
Use the checklist as a guide for ensuring the successful
installation of your LPS. Should you have any questions, contact
your sales representative or local Xerox or Rank Xerox office.
Week column shows the approximate time an activity should
occur. The weeks shown relate to the installation date. For example, -4 is four weeks prior to installation.
Reference column lists the chapter in this manual which
provides detailed information for that activity.
Notes:
Time frames shown are intended to serve only as guidelines.
Consult your suppliers to determine exact lead times.

LPS space and delivery requirements
Dimensions and weights of the LPS system controller and printer are listed in this chapter, along with diagrams to help you visualize their sizes and total space requirements.
Note: There must be a 78 inch/1,981.2 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 Xerox service representatives.

System controller with 9-track The 9-track magnetic tape drive sits on top of the 4050, 4090,
magnetic tape drive dimensions 4450, or 4650 system controller and has no additional width or
depth requirements. Its height and weight, however, may be important
considerations. When calculating the 78-inch/1,981 mm height clearance for the system controller, make sure you add 32.5 inches/825 mm for the 9-track magnetic tape drive.
Note: When viewed from the front, the magnetic tape drive is positioned on the top of the right half of the 4050 system controller and on the top of the left half of the 4090/4650 system controller.
Its weight should also be factored into the LPS total weight. Dimensions of the 4050/4090/4650 system controller with the 9-

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 4050, 4090, 4450, or 4650 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/609 mm operator area in front of each component.
There must be 78 inches/1,981 mm of vertical clearance
throughout the entire area.
Figures 1-8 and 1-9 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/914 mm of general service space may be shared.
Figure 1-8. Back-to-back shared service area space
Figure 1-9 shows the two printers facing each other. The printers share 12 inches/305 mm of the general service space but not the exclusive operator area in front of each printer. Therefore, the printers must be 24 inches/610 mm + 24 inches/610 mm + 12 inches/305 mm apart: the entire operator space for each printer plus the shared general service area of 12 inches/305 mm.
