System overview

1. 1Product overview

This chapter provides an overview of the features and functions of the Xerox DocuPrint Model 92C NPS.

The DocuPrint system enables personal computer (PC), Sun Workstation, DEC workstation, HP/Apollo, IBM RS/6000, and Apple Macintosh users to print PostScript level 2, HP PCL5e, or ASCII documents on a high-speed Xerox DocuPrint Model 92C NPS printer.

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, 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.

XEROX DOCUPRINT NETWORK PRINTER SERIES INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE FOR MODEL 92C NPS 1-1

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

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

Xerox-supplied printer interface The printer interface cable provides high-speed data transport and

communication between the printer controller and the printer.

Xerox-supplied DocuPrint printer The printer (also known as an IOT or print engine) accepts data from

the printer controller and prints the document according to the print options specified by the user. The printer also provides paper stacking, collating, and optional finishing.

DocuPrint Network Printing System

(NPS)

The entire DocuPrint Network Printing System includes the printer (also known as an IOT or print engine), printer controller, printer interface, and all appropriate software. “DocuPrint printer” or “printer” refers to the base printer engine (IOT) only, without the printer controller and interface.

Note: It is your responsibility to supply, install, and maintain hardware and software on any PC, DECStation, Sun Workstation, HP/Apollo Workstation, IBM RS/6000 Workstation, or Macintosh system used to generate documents for printing on the DocuPrint printers. You are also responsible for obtaining, installing, and maintaining the required Ethernet LAN or Token Ring network, transceivers, cables, and connectors, as well as any necessary FDDI connectors.

Xerox is responsible for the physical installation and service of the printer and printer controller hardware and software components. You have the general responsibility for the site of ensuring that the right personnel, supplies, and that network hardware and software is available. Refer to the “Preparing for installation” chapter of this guide for a detailed description of the shared responsibilities of the customer and of Xerox.

NPS/IPS Dual Mode

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

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.

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.

Sixth Sense

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 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.

XEROX DOCUPRINT NETWORK PRINTER SERIES INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE FOR MODEL 92C NPS 1-5

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

To take advantage of Sixth Sense, the customer needs to:

• Request Sixth Sense enablement through Xerox Service

Customer-changeable unit (CCU)

PRINTER COMPONENTS AND OPTIONS

The customer-changeable unit (CCU) contains the replaceable colored dry ink dispenser bottle and the color developer housing. It is a self-contained unit that is easily removed from the printer and stored until needed. Each bottle is uniquely coded to the color of the housing to ensure that a wrong color is not added to a housing.

Note: Only the color housing can be changed. The black housing is permanently installed in the printer; only its ink and developer bottles are changed.

A changeout cart is used to remove a CCU from the printer and to transport a CCU to the printer or to another area. Because of the physical weight of the CCU, the cart is required to change colored dry ink.

The cart also serves as a storage device for CCUs that are not currently in use. For example, if you use both the red and blue inks in your operation, one CCU is always out of the machine in storage on the cart while the other CCU is installed.

Figure 3-6. Changeout cart with CCU installed

Note: You should have a cart for each CCU, so that one cart is always empty and available to remove the CCU installed in the system. However, if your printer is used to print only one color—the CCU will never be removed—or if there is more than one printer in operation at your site, it may not be necessary to have one cart for each CCU. Consult your site representative for more information.

XEROX DOCUPRINT NETWORK PRINTER SERIES INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE FOR MODEL 92C NPS 3-7

PRINTER COMPONENTS AND OPTIONS

Bypass transport option

The bypass transport enables third-party finishing equipment to connect to and interface directly with the printer. The bypass transport requires that your printer have a dual stacker output module configuration. Likewise, third-party finishing devices require that your printer have a bypass transport.

The bypass transport option enables individual printed sheets of paper to pass through the printer’s output module to third-party finishing equipment. The third-party devices perform a variety of finishing tasks such as saddle-stitching, binding, folding, stapling, trimming, and stacking. These devices are usually stand-alone units that can be connected in any number of configurations.

Figure 3-7. Xerox DocuPrint 92C with bypass transport

1 Bypass transport

2 Bypass transport support

The bypass transport fits into tray 1 of the dual stacker. With the bypass transport, sheets of paper flow from left to right (when viewed from the front of the printer), leading from the long edge of each sheet. You can configure the output module to run with or without the bypass transport. The bypass transport support is stationary and cannot be removed. However, the support does not interfere with the operation of trays 1 or 2 when the bypass transport is removed.

3 Third-party finishing devices

It is important to note that while the bypass transport option provides you with an interface between your DocuPrint 92C NPS and your finishing accessories, the finishing accessories require their own AC and DC power sources. The power must be independent of your DocuPrint 92C NPS.

More information on the bypass transport and document finishing can be obtained from the Xerox Finishing web site

http://www.xerox-finishing.com/

Interface with third-party devices

Electrical interface

Included on this web site are the DFA Interface Specifications for your printer.

Consult your Xerox sales representative, as well as the sales representative of the company from which you purchased your finishing equipment, for specific electrical and space requirements.

The mechanical interface between the laser printer and third-party finishing devices can connect as follows:

• Physically aligning a finishing device with the exit slot of the

bypass transport exit slot.

• Docking the third-party finishing device to the bypass transport

and establishing a mechanical and electrical interface between the two.

When you power up the NPS, the printer automatically detects the presence of the bypass transport and external finishing devices. The system also begins monitoring the interlocks (physical links) between the bypass transport and the finishing device and starts finishing device interface communications.

XEROX DOCUPRINT NETWORK PRINTER SERIES INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE FOR MODEL 92C NPS 3-9

PRINTER COMPONENTS AND OPTIONS

Your Xerox DocuPrint 92C and third-party finishing devices interface on several different levels:

• The NPS requires information about the finishing devices to

store in its non-volatile memory (NVM).

• The finishing device information is grouped into a personality

profile for each device.

• Your operators prepare the third-party device hardware to finish

the printed output and inform the NPS of device names and parameters.

• The bypass transport feeds single sheets of paper to the

external finishing device.

• Communications between the bypass transport and the

external finishing device consist of command and status signals.

NPS network installation checklist

The DocuPrint NPS system is installed and configured by your service representative. The service representative needs certain information about your network environment to complete the DocuPrint printer controller software installation. Use the “Network preinstallation checklist” table in this chapter to gather the necessary information for the installation.

Some of the items in the checklist may not apply to your environment. Fill in those items that you know may apply, and refer to your network administrator for information, if necessary.

Note: If you are installing the DocuPrint NPS in a Novell NetWare environment, refer to this chapter and your Novell network NPS administrator to assist you in completing the checklist in the “Network preinstallation checklist” table.

The information you may need to provide is defined as follows:

Hostname A unique name that designates a node on the network. You may use

up to 32 characters: upper and lower case alpha (a-z and A-Z), integers (0-9), and hyphens (-). The name you choose may be the same as the printer name.

PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION

IP address Series of four integers between 0 and 255 separated by a period,

such as 192.9.200.1, to create an IP address for the DocuPrint system. (Do not use all zeros or designate 255 for all integers when assigning an IP address.)

• You must assign a unique, valid IP address for each TCP/IP

network to which the NPS is attached.

Note: To avoid routing problems that will slow down the controller, the IP addresses you assign must belong on different TCP/IP subnets, as determined by the IP subnet netmask.

• If you are not on a TCP/IP network, use the Xerox-supplied IP

address value (192.9.200.1), or the IP address value assigned by your network administrator.

IP netmask Series of four integers between 0 and 255 separated by a period,

such as 255.255.255.0 to create an IP netmask. (Do not use all zeros or designate 255 for all integers when assigning an IP netmask, and do not use the IP address value.)

• If you are on a TCP/IP network, assign a valid IP netmask.

• If you are not on a TCP/IP network and you used the Xerox-

supplied IP address value (192.9.200.1), use 255.255.255.0 for the IP netmask.

XEROX DOCUPRINT NETWORK PRINTER SERIES INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE FOR MODEL 92C NPS 4-7

PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION

IP broadcast address Series of four integers between 0 and 255 separated by a period,

such as 255.255.255.0, to create an IP broadcast address. (Do not use the IP address value.)

• If you are on a TCP/IP network, assign a valid IP broadcast

address.

• If you are not on a TCP/IP network, use the Xerox-supplied IP

broadcast address value (255.255.252.0), which is a plus (+) sign.

Default router Series of four integers between 0 and 255 separated by a period,

such as 188.9.234.1, to specify a default router. Most TCP/IP networks broadcast routing information.

Caution: Specify a default router only if your network does not specify broadcast routing information.

• If the TCP/IP network does not broadcast routing information,

specify an IP address of an existing router that is on the same subnet as the DocuPrint.

• If you are not on a TCP/IP network, specify the default of

NONE.

Superuser password

(UNIX root password)

AppleTalk network information If the DocuPrint NPS is installed in an AppleTalk network

Select a password to prevent unauthorized access to your superuser account. You can select a series of any ASCII characters, except those that your UNIX system interprets in a special way. Passwords have no limits on the number of characters, but the system uses only the first eight characters to administer password security. The password selection you make is case sensitive to the system.

Caution: Select a password that cannot be easily obtained by others to avoid unauthorized access to your account. This is not the same password used for Operator or Administrator functions.

environment, indicate whether your AppleTalk network is phase 1 or 2. Also, indicate the AppleTalk zone name you want the DocuPrint to locate. The zone name must be the same name as the existing zone used on the network to which the DocuPrint is attached. In addition, you must specify the network device on which AppleTalk runs.

Note: Do not use the ampersand (“&”) in the zone name to avoid conflict with UNIX expressions. If the ampersand character must be used, enter “\\&” instead.

Accounting information Indicate whether to set an interval on the system to automatically

purge accounting information. If accounting information is not purged manually or automatically, the system disk can reach storage limits. To keep your system running at optimum speed, you need to periodically purge accounting data.

Xerox client software Indicate whether you have Xerox client software installed, and are

supporting Xerox clients on the network.

lpr and lpd Indicate whether to enable client use of lpr and lpd job submission

and status commands.

UNIX command tool Indicate whether to have a UNIX command tool available for use in

the background menu.

Retry count Determine whether the DocuPrint NPS system supports a print

production environment, or whether the system remains unattended. Once you determine the environment the DocuPrint NPS supports, you must decide the number of attempts the system makes to print a job before a sequencer restart causes the job to be held for intervention.

• If the DocuPrint NPS supports a print production environment,

you may want to specify a large number or zero as the number of attempts the system makes to retry a print job. (Zero indicates an infinite number of retries.)

• If the DocuPrint NPS is unattended, you may want to specify

only 1 or 2 retries to print a job.

Novell network information

DocuPrint as a print server (PSERVER)

The Novell network information you provide to your service representative is based on whether you configure the DocuPrint as a print server or a remote printer. Refer to this chapter and your Novell network administrator for assistance, if necessary.

Provide the following information to the service representative if you configure DocuPrint NPS as a print server on the Novell network (for further information, refer to the “Installation process” section in the

“Installation” chapter of this guide):

• Novell file server name—indicates the name of the file server

that the DocuPrint NPS services. The file server must have the appropriate print server definition and the queue to be serviced.

• Print server name—indicates the name used by the DocuPrint

NPS print server. A print server definition with this name must exist on the file server that the DocuPrint NPS services. A single printer (type Remote Other/Unknown) must be defined for this print server and the queue (refer to the queue name below).

• Password for the print server—refers to a password you may

have added in the print server definition (using PCONSOLE). It is not necessary to add a password to a print server, and there is no default password.

• Queue name to service—refers to the name of the queue from

which the DocuPrint print server accepts jobs. The queue must be defined on the file server that the DocuPrint NPS services. The single printer that must be defined for the print server (as stated above) must also be defined to service the specified queue.

LAN network number Specify the network number for the cabling system to which the

DocuPrint NPS is connected, for example the Ethernet or Token Ring segment.

Network framing type Specify the network framing type used for IPX/SPX communication

by DocuPrint NPS. There are eight options:

• ETHERNET__II

• ETHERNET__802.3

• ETHERNET__802.2

• ETHERNET__SNAP

• TOKENRING

• TOKENRING__SNAP

• FDDI

• FDDI__SNAP.

Choose a framing type used by the file server that communicates with DocuPrint NPS. If you are using print server or remote printer, and have the DocuPrint NPS communicate with a different machine for each, then choose a framing type that is used by both of the machines.

If you are installing a new Novell network using Ethernet, it is recommended that you choose the ETHERNET__II framing type for the file server and the DocuPrint NPS. If you are using Token Ring and the Novell server has both TOKENRING and TOKEN RING_SNAP enabled, use TOKENRING on the DocuPrint NPS. For FDDI networks running Novell, it is recommended that you choose the FDDI framing type.

PRINTER SPECIFICATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS

CCU changeout cart

The changeout cart is required for installing and removing the CCU, which contains the colored dry ink. A cart must also be used to store any CCUs that are not currently installed in the printer. Therefore, if you intend to print using more than one dry ink color, you should have one cart for each CCU.

Note: If there is more than one laser printer at your site, it may not be necessary to have one cart per CCU. Consult with your site representative for more information.

Empty carts may be stored anywhere in your site that is convenient and provides easy access when the carts are required for a changeout. Carts with a CCU loaded (a CCU being stored on the cart) should be stored in a controlled environment, preferably in the same controlled environment as the printer. This reduces the amount of time required for the printer to set up the color developer housing (inside the CCU) once it is installed and therefore reduces the amount of total time required for a change of dry ink color.

You should plan for the space necessary to store the carts: the space in the controlled environment for loaded carts and other space for empty carts.

The dimensions of the cart are as follows:

Space planning guidelines

Clearance space requirements

PRINTER SPECIFICATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS

When determining your space requirements and planning for shared space between your DocuPrint printers, it is important to consider all of the components you plan to install.

To ensure all of the space requirements are met, it is important to work with your Xerox representative.

Before installation, you must consider the following:

• Clearance space requirements where you intend to install the

printing system

• Delivery access requirements

• Recommended cable lengths and locations (refer to the

“System connections” chapter of this guide for more

information)

• Floor leveling.

Shared space

The printer must be installed in a fixed location that provides the following clearance space:

• 36 inches / 91.4 cm on all sides of each component

• 78 inches / 198 cm of vertical clearance throughout the entire

area

• 24 inches / 61 cm of exclusive operator area in front of each

component.

It is best to provide the full amount of clearance space around the hardware components. Your environment may require you to use shared space between components such as between the printer and another Xerox printing system. You can share the 36-inch / 91.4 cm clearance space around each component, as long as you follow these rules:

• Space may be shared only with other Xerox equipment.

• Components may share the 36-inch / 91.4 cm general service

clearance areas, but they may not share the 24-inch / 61 cm operator area in front of each component.

• There must be 78 inches / 198 cm of vertical clearance

throughout the entire area.

Note: Finishers attached to your bypass transport may occupy shared space with Xerox equipment. However, they must be removable to allow servicing of the DocuPrint printer stackers. Consult with your Xerox representatives to ensure all the requirements are met.

Floor leveling

Delivery access requirements

PRINTER SPECIFICATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS

For proper operation, the printer must be perfectly level. On floors less than two degrees out of level, installation personnel use a leveling kit to level the machine.

Note: The printer will not function properly on floors more than two degrees out of level.

If the floor is more than two degrees out of level, find another location for the printer.

For your reference, two degrees represents a height discrepancy of approximately 3.8 inches / 9.6 cm measured at the casters with the printer tilting from left to right, or approximately 0.7 inches / 1.8 cm with the printer tilting from back to front.

If you move the printer after its initial installation, it is your responsibility to make sure that the printer can be leveled properly. If you do not have the leveling kit (the printer in its initial location did not require it), and you need one to level the printer in a new location, contact your Xerox site representative to obtain one.

It is easy to overlook the path required to move the equipment from the truck to the operation site. To determine access, ask the following questions:

• Does the equipment need to go up or down a stairwell? How

wide is the stairwell?

• Do you have an elevator, if the equipment is to be located above

the first floor?

• Is the elevator large enough for the equipment?

• How wide are the hallways and doorways?

• Do you have a loading dock or a specific door to which the

equipment should be delivered?

You need to review these issues before or during the site inspection conducted by your service representative.

The equipment dimensions are specified earlier in this chapter, so it is easy to determine whether your hallways and doorways are wide enough to permit access.

Turning radius You must also consider the width of the passageway when the

equipment must negotiate a corner, whether into a room, an elevator, or another passageway.

There are L-shaped turns and T-shaped turns. The diagrams and the tables that follow show the minimum space required to maneuver through the turns.

Space planning templates

PRINTER SPECIFICATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS

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

The easiest way to use the space planning templates is to move the templates around on the grid located at the end of this section and determine the optimum placement for your printer components. Make sure to consider other pieces of equipment, such as cabinets, tables, and optional equipment when planning your space. Your customer support representative can help you plan space for additional components.

The templates are to scale with the grid; each square is equal to 12 by 12 inches/30.5 by 30.5 cm. 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.

There are a number of factors to keep in mind when planning your site, including the following:

• Clearance space requirements

• Cable length.

Refer to these sections in this manual when considering the various factors involved in planning the appropriate location for your printing system.

Cable lengths

7. 7System connections

This chapter provides cable requirements for your DocuPrint Model 92C NPS system. To ensure all of your cable requirements are met, it is important to work with your Xerox representative.

Cable lengths are important considerations in planning your layout, as components can be separated only up to the length of the data interface cables that connect them.

Cables supplied with the printer are long enough to meet the needs of most installations. Some of these cables are specific lengths to conform to engineering and safety standards.

Data cables The printer components can be separated up to the length of the data

interface cables that connect them. The printer and controller are connected by a 25-foot / 7.5 meter data cable.

Power cables Power cable lengths for the 60 Hz environment are as follows:

Table 7-1. Power cable lengths

Power cable Length

Printer controller 8 feet / 2.4 meters

Printer 10 feet / 3 meters

Table 7-2. Power cable lengths

Power cables Length

Printer controller 15 feet / 4.6 meters

Peripheral cabinet 15 feet / 4.6 meters

Printer 15 feet / 4.6 meters

Warning: Using an inappropriate alternate cable may degrade the

performance of your equipment and may also be hazardous.

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

Installation process

8. 8Installation

This chapter describes the activities performed by you and Xerox during the installation of the Xerox DocuPrint Model 92C NPS hardware and software components. Before installation can begin, you must complete the tasks described in the “Preparing for installation” chapter of this guide.

Xerox is responsible for the physical installation of the DocuPrint Model 92C NPS hardware components and the software.

For customers outside the United States, contact your local Xerox representative or operating company for your specific installation process.

The installation process can take one or several days to complete. Equipment, software kits, and documentation kits may all arrive in one day, or over the course of several days. When all of the necessary items are in place, Xerox personnel will complete the installation of the NPS components.

In the United States, the steps in the installation process typically occur in the following order:

1. Xerox personnel installs all DocuPrint Model 92C NPS printer hardware and connects the printer controller to your network through the Ethernet, Token Ring, and FDDI connector you supply. This process takes approximately four hours if all the necessary network and electrical connectors are in place.

2. Xerox personnel loads printer controller software on the Printer Controller (approximately 1.5 hours).

3. Xerox personnel downloads Xerox client software if applicable, on one client workstation to validate the installation (15 minutes). Software is downloaded on another client workstation as part of training conducted by your systems analyst. All other client software installations are your responsibility. Refer to the

Xerox DocuPrint Network Printer Series Guide to Configuring and Managing the System for more information.

If your site uses third-party Transmission Control Protocol/ Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) lpr networking software, refer to the

Xerox DocuPrint Network Printer Series Guide to Configuring and Managing the System for information on modifying the

printcap file.

4. Xerox personnel test the system and run sample jobs (30 minutes).

XEROX DOCUPRINT NETWORK PRINTER SERIES INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE FOR MODEL 92C NPS 8-1

INSTALLATION

Your responsibilities

5. Xerox personnel conducts initial operations training (2 to 4 hours).

6. Xerox personnel reviews preventive maintenance schedules and service call procedures.

Xerox is responsible for the physical installation of the printer components and for loading the software and applications. You have the general site responsibility of ensuring that the right personnel, supplies, and network information are available.

At the time of installation, you should do the following:

• Make sure that your system administrator is available during the

loading of software.

• For software loading purposes, be prepared to provide Xerox

personnel with network information from the preinstallation checklist. Refer to the “Setting up the work area” chapter of this guide for specifics regarding network information.

• Designate two client workstations for downloading Xerox client

software if applicable: one for initial system validation and another for use in operator training provided by your systems analyst.

• Check the documentation and software kits with their packing

lists for completeness.

• Load Xerox client software on any additional client

workstations.

Remember that you are responsible for supplying, installing, and maintaining your client workstations and the Token Ring network or Ethernet local area network (LAN) that connects them with the Printer Controller. You are also responsible for the Ethernet, Token Ring, and FDDI connectors required for your system.

• Have test jobs ready to run.

• Have your operators available for training.

Refer to the installation planning checklist in the “Setting up the work area” chapter of this guide for a complete list of responsibilities.

8-2 XEROX DOCUPRINT NETWORK PRINTER SERIES INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE FOR MODEL 92C NPS

Software licensing

INSTALLATION

When an NPS is purchased, the owner needs to receive a license to use the operating system software. Once a user calls in with a host ID, (Sun SPARC/Ultra host ID), the user receives a license string. Refer to the “Setting up the printer controller” chapter of the Guide to Configuring and Managing the System (section titled “Loading the NPS software license text stream”).

This license is enabled by entering a 20-character authorization text string at the printer controller keyboard. Your Xerox service representative obtains this license text string for you and enters it when your NPS is installed.

Until this license string is entered, your NPS cannot receive data from the host to print. You can power on and boot the system, and perform all offline tasks such as setting up input and output configurations, but the NPS remains in Disabled mode and cannot print.

Although your service representative usually does this for you, you also can enter your license string, by selecting NPS Authorization Enablement from the Administration pulldown menu on the NPS main window. Refer to your NPS Guide to Configuring and Managing the System, “Setting up the printer controller” chapter, for the procedure.

Note: If your system will be operating in Dual Mode, it requires two license strings: one for IPS and one for NPS.

XEROX DOCUPRINT NETWORK PRINTER SERIES INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE FOR MODEL 92C NPS 8-3

INSTALLATION

Ongoing maintenance

Routine maintenance

After the installation of your Xerox DocuPrint NPS, there are a few ongoing tasks that must be performed. These tasks may include the following:

• Maintaining an adequate inventory of consumable supplies

• Overseeing routine maintenance and meter reporting

• Arranging for additional operator training

• Ordering additional fonts

• Ordering additional documentation

• Placing service calls for hardware problems

• Obtaining assistance in solving software-related problems.

As installation coordinator, it is your responsibility to designate the staff members responsible for these tasks.

Meter reading and reporting

A number of routine maintenance tasks must be performed to ensure maximum efficiency of your printer. These tasks include:

• Adding standard dry ink to your printer

• Adding colored dry ink to your printer

• Changing the CCU for colored dry ink in your printer

• Adding fuser lubricant

• Replacing the dry ink and developer waste containers

• Cleaning the exterior surfaces of the system.

Step-by-step instructions for performing these tasks are contained in your Guide to Performing Routine Maintenance. You need to decide how many operators will be responsible for performing these tasks. Most maintenance tasks are covered in the initial operator training provided shortly after installation.

Note: Only operators who have completed the Xerox Advanced Customer Training (ACT) or eXcellerate courses or equivalent advanced customer training can replace stitcher wire. Refer to the “Xerox support services” appendix of this guide for additional information on training.

As print jobs are processed, the printer controller accumulates, saves, and maintains usage data.

During the last five working days of each month, you need to review and transmit the data to Xerox for billing purposes. Refer to your Guide to Performing Routine Maintenance for complete instructions on how to report meter readings.

8-4 XEROX DOCUPRINT NETWORK PRINTER SERIES INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE FOR MODEL 92C NPS

A. ASupplies

This appendix provides information and specifications for the media you use with your Xerox DocuPrint Model 92C printer. Instructions for ordering supplies are also provided.

Consumable supplies (those that are depleted during operation of the system), such as paper, dry ink, developer, fuser agent, etc., must be ordered for your printer. It is important that an adequate supply of these items be on hand for installation, and that your supply be maintained afterwards.

Paper and other throughput stocks

The success of any print run is greatly dependent on the proper selection, care, and handling of the stock used.

Selecting paper

You need to select your paper carefully. If you do not use the proper paper, you increase the probability of paper jams and misfeeds. The stocks you use must meet the specifications set forth by Xerox for operability in the printer. For additional information about paper specifications, refer to Helpful Facts about Paper, delivered with your printer.

Acceptable paper stocks and sizes Your DocuPrint Model 92C printer accepts the following standard

size cut-sheet papers:

• US Letter: 8.5 by 11 inches / 216 by 279 mm

• US Legal: 8.5 by 14 inches / 216 by 356 mm

• A4: 8.27 by 11.69 inches / 210 by 297 mm

Recommended weight and grade: Use a good quality, xerographic-grade paper. For best results, use

paper that is 20-pound or 80 gsm (grams per square meter) bond, xerographic grade. Xerox 4024 Dual Purpose Paper provides optimal performance in the printer. Refer to the consumable supplies table, later in this appendix.

Use paper within these parameters:

• Lightest: 20-pound or 80 gsm bond

• Heaviest: 110-pound or 200 gsm index.

XEROX DOCUPRINT NETWORK PRINTER SERIES INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE FOR MODEL 92C NPS A-1

SUPPLIES

Characteristics The paper stock should have the following characteristics:

• Low moisture content (a paper-to-moisture ratio below 5.7

percent). Paper with higher moisture content may curl and jam.

• Smooth surface

• Moisture-resistant wrapping

• No defects (bent edges, uneven surfaces)

• Grain long (parallel with the long side of paper).

Paper is usually fed into the printer with the long side as the leading edge. When you purchase paper, buy long-grain paper. Make sure the grain is parallel with the long side (long-grain) for the most reliable feeding and stacking.

Special stocks Following are some guidelines for choosing and using special

materials:

• Labels — Must be the type designed for high-speed printers

and must meet the specifications described in the section above. Loading instructions are printed on all paper trays.

Load labels with the label side up. You can direct them to any output tray.

• Transparencies — Must be the type designed for high-speed

printers and must meet the specifications described in the section above. Loading instructions are printed on all paper trays.

Load transparencies with the opaque strip to the right. All printed transparencies are delivered to the sample tray.

As long as they meet your printer’s paper specifications, you can also use:

• Tinted paper — Available in a variety of colors, it has many

uses, including calling attention to certain printed material, separating special sections, or dividing chapters of a report.

• Preprinted paper — May be letterhead, forms, or logos.

• Predrilled paper — Has a varying number of holes for use in

binders or binder rings. Before loading predrilled paper, fan it to remove loose plugs that could cause paper jams. Load predrilled paper in the printer with holes to the right.

• Perforated paper

A-2 XEROX DOCUPRINT NETWORK PRINTER SERIES INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE FOR MODEL 92C NPS

Paper care

SUPPLIES

Once you have purchased your paper, you must be sure it is stored and conditioned properly, so that it performs optimally in the printer with a minimum of jams.

Storing paper Paper has a tendency to curl under the heat that is present inside

xerographic equipment. To minimize the amount of curling, use paper with low moisture content. Paper with excessive moisture content has a tendency to jam because of the greater curl. The maximum recommended moisture content is 5.7 percent.

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.

• Store reams of paper in a closed cabinet.

• Always store paper in a cool, dry area. Store on pallets or

shelves, not on the floor.

• Plan ahead and keep at least a day’s supply of paper in the

same area as the printer to allow environmental stabilization prior to printing.

For more detailed information on paper for Xerox printers, refer to Helpful Facts about Paper, provided with your printer.

storage

Conditioning paper Because temperature and humidity affect paper performance in the

printer, you need to condition paper before using it. To do this, store paper for a specified length of time in the same type of environment as your printer.

The length of time you should condition your paper depends on the amount of paper and the difference between the storage and operating temperatures.

Other supplies

Dry ink

This section describes the supplies other than paper that are necessary for installation and afterward. Your sales representative will help you place your initial supply order.

Dry ink (also called toner) is the powder which forms the image on the printed page. There are six cartridges of black dry ink or three cartridges of colored dry ink in each carton. You should keep at least one extra cartridge on hand at all times. The disposable cartridges are easily changed with no mess. The consumption rate of Xerox dry ink is approximately one cartridge per 30,000 pages for black dry ink and 86,500 pages for colored dry ink. Use only dry ink that is specified for use in the DocuPrint Model 92C printer, as described in the consumable supplies table.

Note: Dry ink (toner) yields are based on 5% area coverage for black dry ink and 1.5% area coverage for colored dry ink. Your yield may vary, depending on coverage.

Fuser lubricant

Developer

Fuser lubricant is a consumable item required by the printer. You should keep at least two boxes (each box contains two tubes) on hand for installation by the service representative. The consumption rate of Xerox fuser lubricant is approximately one tube per 120,000 pages. For product information, refer to the consumable supplies table in this appendix.

Developer is not consumed by the printer but does have an effective life of approximately 300,000 pages per bottle, guaranteed by Xerox. Developer is a required item and must be kept on hand.

Use only the developer specified for use in your DocuPrint Model 92C printer.

Stitcher wire

Diskettes

Tap es

Stitcher wire is a consumable item for a printer equipped with the stitcher/stacker option. You need to order stitcher wire reels and keep them on hand. They are installed by the service representative or operators who have completed the Advanced Customer Training (ACT) or eXcellerate courses offered by Xerox.

Diskettes are optional items that provide loading and backup of fonts, forms, and user files to and from the printing system. The processor accepts 3.5-inch, 1.44 MB, double-sided, high density diskettes.

The optional 4 mm cartridge tape drive uses 5 GB or 8 GB tapes.

The 1/4-inch QIC tape drive uses quarter-inch stream cartridge tapes. The tape data capacity should be 320/525 MB. Tape density is critical. The QIC drive can read low density tapes, but to write reliably requires tape with 21,000 Flux Transitions Per Inch (FTPI). The FTPI figure is usually listed on the cartridge.

XEROX DOCUPRINT NETWORK PRINTER SERIES INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE FOR MODEL 92C NPS A-7

Ordering supplies

To avoid unnecessary downtime, always have an adequate amount of the necessary supplies. To do this, you need to establish a procedure for checking and ordering supplies. A supplies checklist is provided at the end of this appendix to help you with this task. It lists the supplies needed for the printer and contains a column for you to enter the date when you want to place the order and a column to record the date of the actual order. The consumable supplies table, above, contains a list of Xerox supplies available for the printer.

It is important that you check your supplies regularly and order before you run out. Plan on approximately five working days for delivery after placing the order. You can make arrangements to receive them sooner in emergency situations.
