System overview
1. 1Product overview
This chapter provides an overview of the features and functions of
the Xerox DocuPrint 4850 IPS and the 4890 IPS.
The Xerox DocuPrint 4850 IPS and 4890 IPS are cut-sheet, duplex
highlight color printers that are fully compatible with the IBM AFP
architecture. They accept an IPDS data stream from any PSF eligible
platform, including MVS, VM, VSE, OS/2, OS/400 (with TCP/IP only),
and AIX. They are plug-compatible in the AFP/IPDS environment,
and emulate an IBM IPDS Group 3 page printer with the AFIG
(Advanced Function Image and Graphics) 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).
Host environments The IPS emulates an IBM AFP Group 3 page printer with the
Advanced Function Image and Graphics (AFIG) option and can print
in all 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.
Note: There is no minimum host operating system software level
required to support IPS. The minimum PSF levels needed to support
the IPS are:
• PSF/MVS: V2.1
• PSF/VM: V2.1
• PSF/VSE: V2.2
• PSF/400: V3.2
• PSF/6000: V2.1
• PSF/2: V2.0
XEROX DOCUPRINT 4850/4890 IPS INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE 1-1
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
1
The 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/6000 supports 100 Mb Ethernet connectivity.
Note: Customers can have multiple connectivities (Token
Ring, Ethernet, or Bus and Tag), but only one type of
connectivity can be active at any given time.
Data is printed at production speeds:
• 4850 IPS: Up to 50 impressions per minute
• 4890 IPS: Up to 92 impressions per minute.
A full-color graphical user interface on the Sun workstation enables
interaction with the IPS.

For information on the various IPS printer configuration options, refer
to the “Printer components and options” chapter of this guide.
The 4850/4890 IPS systems provide numerous features that can be
accessed with standard AFP compatible software products. The
following features are available and can be enabled or configured
using the graphical user interface on the printer controller:
• Highlight color — The 4850 and 4890 IPS have the capability
of printing in one highlight color plus black. A number of inks are
available for adding color to documents: red, green, blue, cyan,
magenta, brown, cardinal, royal, ruby, and violet.
When a colored ink is installed in the IPS, you can combine
black and the additional color under software control to:
— Create darker shades by mixing black and a color
— Create lighter tints by letting the white of the paper show
through between the black or colored dots.
• Up to four input trays — Two addressable input trays are
standard with the printing system. Two additional feeder trays
are available as options. These trays can be used to configure
print jobs in the most effective manner. For example, the trays
can be used to provide nonstop printing of a complex job that
requires multiple paper stocks, or only a few paper stocks, but
using the continuous loading capability of the input trays. A
different 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.
Feeder tray capacities, based on 20-pound or 80 gsm (grams
per square meter) bond, are:
— Tray 1: 1000 sheets
— Tray 2: 500 sheets
— High-capacity feeder trays (3 and 4): 1000 sheets each.
• Advanced paper handling — The IPS can handle paper
stocks ranging in size from 8 by 10 inches / 203 by 254 mm to
8.5 by 14 inches / 216 by 356 mm, including A4, and in weight
from 20-pound or 80 gsm bond to 110-pound / 200 gsm index.
XEROX DOCUPRINT 4850/4890 IPS INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE 1-3
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Jobs can also be printed on special stocks such as labels and
transparencies.
The printer engine monitors the print job so that, should a paper
jam occur, the job resumes on the correct page, providing
complete document integrity.
• 300 dpi resolution — The 4850 and 4890 IPS provide high
print quality at 300 dpi resolution. They can receive data at 240
or 300 dpi; 240 data is converted to 300 by the controller.
The IPS must be configured to the same font resolution as the
host input data stream (refer to your 4850/4890 IPS Guide to
Configuring and Managing the System for instructions on
configuring for the correct input resolution). Conflicts between
the input font resolution and the IPS configuration could result
in inability to print the job, or in variable data missing from the
output.
Note: You will normally achieve better print quality by
converting all 240 dpi fonts and other resources to 300 dpi
before printing, rather than leaving the conversion for the
controller to do. However, you should always run test prints to
validate your particular applications.
• Bypass transport option (4890 IPS only) — The bypass
transport enables sheets to pass through the printer output
module to a third-party finishing device. With such a device, you
add to your 4890 IPS such finishing capabilities as saddlestitching, binding, trimming, etc. The bypass transport fits into
tray 1 of the dual stacker, and can be easily removed and
installed by the operator. (For further information on this option,
refer to the “Bypass transport specifications” appendix of this
guide.)
• Sixth Sense Remote Service — The Xerox Sixth Sense
Remote Service feature allows Xerox support personnel to
access IPS/NPS controller via modem from a remote location.
More information about Remote Service can be found in the
Xerox DocuPrint 4850/4890 IPS Troubleshooting Guide.
• Choice of dual or stitcher stacker — Your 4850/4890 IPS is
available with one of two stacker types: a dual stacker, with two
output trays, or a stitcher/stacker which can place a wire stitch
in sets of up to 50 sheets.
Output tray capacities, based on 20-pound or 80 gsm stock,
are:
— Dual stacker trays 1 and 2: 750 sheets each
— Stitcher/stacker: 2000 sheets.
1-4 XEROX DOCUPRINT 4850/4890 IPS INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE
NPS/IPS Dual Mode
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
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.
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.
To take advantage of Sixth Sense, the customer needs to:
• Request Sixth Sense enablement through Xerox Service
• Provide an analog phone line
• If necessary, purchase an optional phone share device.
More information about the Sixth Sense can be found in the Xerox
DocuPrint 4850/4890 NPSIPS System Administration Guide.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Base system components
The IPS system consists of the following major components:
• Printer controller — The printer controller (also called the
system controller) accepts IPDS data 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.

Controller hardware
2. 2Controller components and
options
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 which 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
processor to interface with the print engine.

Processor The 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 high-speed 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.
• 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.
2-2 XEROX DOCUPRINT 4850/4890 IPS INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE
CONTROLLER COMPONENTS AND OPTIONS
• 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 floppy 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 part of your IPS controller.

Processor The 256 MB RAM processor is the central processing unit of the Sun
Ultra 60 workstation. It contains a power switch, a 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: Two 18.2 GB primary disk drives are
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.
• 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.
• 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.

CONTROLLER COMPONENTS AND OPTIONS
• Cartridge tape drive: A 4 GB external SCSI quarter inch
cartridge (QIC) tape drive is an external device provided with
the printing system. The cartridge tape drive connects to the
controller through the SCSI port on the processor back panel.
Like the diskette and CD drives, this tape drive is not an input
source for print jobs or for any other data or application. You
use it to load resource files, and the service representative uses
it to load system maintenance files or to save diagnostic
information.

• Back panel: The back panel of the processor has a power
receptacle and outlet, connectors, connector openings, and
ports. The following figure shows the back panel of the Sun
Ultra 60 workstation that is a part of your IPS controller.

Display monitor 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.
Keyboard The keyboard consists of alphanumeric keys similar to a typewriter,
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.

CONTROLLER COMPONENTS AND OPTIONS
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.
Host Channel Unit (HCU)—channel-attached systems only
The 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 your 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 printing 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.
