1. 1System overview
This chapter introduces the DocuPrint NPS printing system and
describes its hardware and software components, features, functions
and modes of operation.
Functional overview of the DocuPrint NPS
The DocuPrint NPS system enables personal computer (PC), Sun
Workstation, DEC workstation, HP/Apollo, IBM RS/6000, and Apple
Macintosh users to print PostScript level 2, HP PCL 5c or 5e, or
ASCII documents on a high-speed Xerox DocuPrint NPS printer.
DocuPrint 92C NPS prints at a rated speed of up to 92 ppm in 600
dpi highlight color (black plus one color).
DocuPrint 92C NPS printers support:
•Duplex printing
•Mixed plex
•Media of multiple weights, sizes and types
•Optional module for output to third-party finishing devices
•Optional high-capacity feeders
•Optional stitcher/stacker.
Refer to figure 1-1 as you read the system component descriptions
that follow.
Figure 1-1.DocuPrint system components for 92C NPS
Customer-supplied networkThe customer will need to supply a network:
Users create their documents at the networked client PCs or
workstations using software applications that generate either
PostScript, HP PCL 5c or 5e, or ASCII output. When ready to print,
users submit the documents to the Printer Controller.
Documents can include resources in either 300 dpi or 600 dpi. Output
will be 600 dpi.
•Ethernet local area network (LAN) with Transmission Control
Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), AppleTalk, or Novell
NetWare 3.x network protocols
•Token Ring with TCP/IP, AppleTalk, or Novell Netware 3.x
network protocols
•FDDI Fiber-Optic backbone LAN with Transmission Control
Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) or Novell NetWare 3.x
network protocols.
Note:Customers using Novell 4.1 must set the “Bindery Emulation
Mode” to be backward compatible with Novell 3.12.
DocuPrint NPS supports multiple network connectivity, that is, the
ability for protocols such as TCP/IP to run on more than one network
interface. Refer to the section “Multiple network connectivity.”
DocuPrint NPS also provides support for SNMP, the Simple Network
Management Protocol. This agent allows the connection of SNMP
manager clients to DocuPrint NPS printers. Currently, the agent
supports the Xerox PrinterMap client. This allows the operator to
view printer status information (such as the type of loaded paper)
from a client.
Xerox-supplied Printer ControllerThe Printer Controller accepts the print job from the client
workstation, converts the files into page images, and sends the page
images to the printer. The user interface at the Printer Controller
allows you to perform tasks such as monitoring job status, prioritizing
jobs, and configuring the system. The optional cartridge tape drive
can be used for tasks such as backing up files. The CD-ROM drive
allows you to install the Printer Controller software and fonts.
Xerox-supplied printer interfaceThe printer interface cable provides high-speed data transport and
communication between the Printer Controller and the printer.
PrinterThe 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, and optional finishing.
DocuPrint Network Printing System
(NPS)
The entire DocuPrint Network Printing System includes the printer,
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 host, PC, DECStation, Sun

SYSTEM OVERVIEW
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, FDDI fiber-optic LAN or
Token Ring network, transceivers, and connecting cables.
Xerox is responsible for the physical installation and service of the
printer and Printer Controller hardware and software components.
You are generally responsible for ensuring that the right personnel,
supplies, and network hardware and software are available.
DocuPrint NPS can be configured with a modem to support Sixth
Sense remote dial-in capability. Sixth Sense allows service
technicians to access your system from a remote location. There are
security issues you may need to consider before installing the
modem.
Xerox DocuPrint Dual Mode option enables both DocuPrint NPS and
IPS systems to coexist on the same Printer Controller (Sun
SPARCstation). This configuration allows the DocuPrint system to
receive data streams supported by NPS and IPS, including IPDS,
PostScript levels 1 and 2, HP PCL 5c or 5e, and ASCII.
When the system is 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 it is in NPS mode, it
cannot accept IPDS data streams in the background.
Client workstations and system software
To send print jobs to the DocuPrint printer, the customer needs to
provide the proper client hardware, operating system, and network
software.

1-4XEROX DOCUPRINT 92C NPS SYSTEM OVERVIEW GUIDE
Ethernet LAN
FDDI Backbone LAN
SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Users of networked client workstations may send print jobs to the
DocuPrint NPS printer over the Ethernet LAN using either the TCP/
IP, AppleTalk using EtherTalk Link Access Protocol (ELAP), or
Novell NetWare as the network protocol.
Regardless of printing or transmission protocol, the Ethernet
connection to the Printer Controller must be compatible with the
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.3
standard.
FDDI is ANSI-standard 100 megabit fiber optic backbone LAN using
up to 200 km of optical fiber, or twisted copper pairs for short hops. It
supports the TCP/IP protocol and Novell NetWare. The Sun FDDI
driver is incorporated into the NPS print controller software.
DocuPrint NPS supports the optical fiber implementation of FDDI.
Token Ring
Multiple network connectivity
Users of networked client workstations may send print jobs to the
DocuPrint NPS printer over a Token Ring network using TCP/IP,
Novell NetWare or AppleTalk network protocol.
Regardless of the 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.
DocuPrint NPS supports multiple network connectivity, that is, the
ability for protocols such as TCP/IP to run on more than one network
interface. For TCP/IP, DocuPrint NPS can support any combination
of Ethernet, 100 Mbit Ethernet, Token Ring, or FDDI. One interface
is designated as the primary network interface. Novell NetWare can
run on only the primary network interface, but the type of interface
can be selected.
AppleTalk can run on only one network interface, but it doesn’t have
to be the primary one.

Printer Controller overview
2. 2Printer Controller
This chapter describes the DocuPrint Printer Controller. It includes a
list of component hardware, software and fonts, and discusses the
key elements of software operation.
The Printer Controller manages print options, provides the user
interface, and runs system management and diagnostic operations
on demand. The Printer Controller receives PostScript, HP PCL 5e,
HP PCL 5c for highlight color models, and ASCII files from the client
through an Ethernet, FDDI, or Token Ring network.
The Printer Controller detects which protocol is being used for a print
data file that is being sent. Print data can be sent through TCP/IP,
AppleTalk, or Novell NetWare packets.
Once the print data file has been received:
•Print data is separated from print option parameters
•Print data is stored on the Printer Controller fixed disk
•Print options parameters are stored in the Job Pool Manager
(JPM) database.
The print data is stored on the fixed disk for queuing, for multiple copy
processing, or for recovering from system errors and printer faults.
The Job Pool Manager (JPM) maintains a database of all jobs. The
database contains a reference to the print data on the fixed disk, as
well as the print options parameters for the print data. Data in the
JPM database is scanned and sequenced for maximum efficiency.
The JPM responds to the Printer Controller commands that affect the
Job Pool, such as deleting, holding, or prioritizing jobs.
When the Printer Controller begins processing a job, it sends the
print data to the decomposer. The decomposer converts the print
data into a bitmap in the resolution appropriate to the printing device.
For a color job, one bitmap is created; the color spaces are
interleaved on a pixel basis.
The decomposer utilizes font data from font files stored on the Printer
Controller fixed disk or font information sent to the Printer Controller
with the print job.
When processed data comes back from the decomposer, the Printer
Controller Device Driver transmits the print data and print option
parameters to the printer and initiates printing.
XEROX DOCUPRINT 92C NPS SYSTEM OVERVIEW GUIDE2-1
PRINTER CONTROLLER
Printer Controller components
When the job has been printed successfully, the print data file is
deleted from the fixed disk. If there is an error at the printer (IOT) that
inhibits job completion, the Printer Controller manages the recovery
and completion of the job.
DocuPrint can manage the processing of multiple jobs and the
printing of another job simultaneously.
There are different Sun workstation models used for the Printer
Controller, depending on your system configuration. Printer

operating system utilities. Licensing is required for the
DocuPrint NPS software.
—Xerox client protocol software (print command)
downloaded to client workstations or PCs as a means to
communicate with the Printer Controller.
•Adobe PostScript fonts
Using font installation commands, you can load other Type 0,
Type 1, or Type 3 PostScript fonts from a MS-DOS-formatted,
3.5-inch diskette or CD-ROM disk. Type 0 fonts must conform to
a specification available from Xerox. Refer to the Xerox
DocuPrint Network Printer Series Guide to Configuring and
Managing the System, “Installing fonts,” for more information on
font installation commands. Type 0, Type 1 and Type 3
PostScript fonts can also be downloaded with a print job. Refer

Power saversTo conserve energy, the printer has two power savers: one for the
raster output scanner (ROS) and one for the fuser.
After a predetermined period, each of these parts times itself out and
shuts down. The time-out period can be adjusted by a service
representative to meet your needs. The Printer Controller
automatically brings the printer out of power saver mode when there
is a document to be printed.
•The ROS power saver times itself out after about an hour of
inactivity and requires about 30 seconds to warm up.
•The fuser power saver times itself out after about four hours and
requires four to seven minutes to warm up.

CCU changeout cartThe cart is used to remove and install the customer changeable unit
(CCU). The CCU consists of the color developer housing and the dry
ink bottle. Because the CCU is heavy, the user will need the cart to
make the change.
The carts also serve as storage devices for the CCUs that are not
currently in use. For example, if you use both the red and blue dry
inks in your operation, one CCU is always out of the machine in
storage on the cart while the other CCU is installed.
XEROX DOCUPRINT 92C NPS SYSTEM OVERVIEW GUIDE3-5
PRINTERS
Note: You should have a cart for each CCU, where one cart is
always empty and available to remove the CCU that is installed in the
system. However, if your printer will only be used to print one color
(that is, the CCU will never be removed), or if there is more than one
DocuPrint highlight color printer in operation at your site, it may not
be necessary to have one cart per CCU. Consult your site
representative for more details.
The paper path is the route that materials (paper, transparencies,
labels, and so on) follow through the printer from the feeder trays to
the output trays.
The figure below illustrates the simplex (one-sided output) paper
path of a printer with a dual stacker tray and a standard feeder tray.
The materials move from either feeder tray 1 or feeder tray 2 and are
stacked in either stacker tray 1, stacker tray 2, or the sample tray,
depending on your selection at the beginning of the job.
Figure 5-1.Simplex paper path (dual stacker configuration)
XEROX DOCUPRINT 92C NPS SYSTEM OVERVIEW GUIDE5-1
UNDERSTANDING THE PAPER PATH
The following figure illustrates the duplex (two-sided output) paper
path of a printer with a dual stacker and a standard feeder. Materials
may originate in either feeder tray 1 or feeder tray 2. The duplex
paper tray receives the materials before they go through a second
time to receive the second image. As the pages move through for the
second image, they follow the simplex path. The pages are then
stacked in either stacker tray 1 or stacker tray 2, depending on your
selection at the beginning of the job.

UNDERSTANDING THE PAPER PATH
When you add a high-capacity feeder to your system, only the
beginning of the paper path changes, which is the source of paper
supply.

How highlight color is created
6. 6Highlight color
This chapter explains the concept of highlight color, and describes
the process for specifying and applying highlight color to a document,
matching monitor and printer colors, and converting full process color
jobs for printing on a highlight color printer.
A document with highlight color contains one color plus black. The
color may be printed either as a solid color or combined with black.
To create tints and shades, the DocuPrint highlight color printers print
dots of black and dots of color very close together. Out eyes mix the
dots to produce a wide range of color. DocuPrint prints the black and
color dots in a single pass, ensuring near-perfect registration.
•Tints of black or the highlight color are created by printing dots
of black or color with white space between them, producing a
percentage value of the color, for example, gray or pink.
How highlight color is specified
•Shades are created by printing black dots next to dots of the
highlight color, producing, for example, a dark red.
•Tones are created by printing a combination of black dots, color
dots, and blank space. The result is a percentage value of black
and the highlight color such as a dark red made by mixing dots
of red and black, or a gray-pink made by mixing dots of red and
black dots with some blank space as well.
These patterns of dots are known as halftone screens. Screens are
defined in the Printer Controller software as a matrix of bits, which
correspond to printed dots. The screen defines which dots in the
matrix are black, which are highlight color, and which are not printed.
You specify color in application software. The DocuPrint provides
highlight color toner in a selection of colors: red, ruby, cardinal, blue,
royal blue, green, cyan, magenta, violet, and brown.
If you specify a color in your document that DocuPrint cannot print, it
is printed either as a shade of gray or as an equivalent tone of the
highlight color installed in the printer at the time.
For more information on this matching process, see “How to convert
full color to highlight color.”
XEROX DOCUPRINT 92C NPS SYSTEM OVERVIEW GUIDE6-1
HIGHLIGHT COLOR
How to convert full color to highlight color
Because many documents submitted to DocuPrint NPS support full
color, you may try to print a document that specifies colors that a
highlight color DocuPrint NPS cannot print. When DocuPrint receives
a full-color document, the Printer Controller software matches the
colors as closely as possible to a color DocuPrint can print. This
matching process is not a precise means of specifying color in your
documents.
To control color conversion in your document, you can use the map
color option, also called extraction color, to specify which color in a
full color document you want to print, using the available highlight
color. Colors you do not specify in the map color option print as
shades of gray.
You can make the map color differ from the highlight color so red
parts of a document are printed as green, or blue portions are printed
as red, and so forth.
The highlight color rendering algorithm enables you to specify the
qualities of a document that are the most important to preserve. The
highlight rendering attributes allow you to distinguish between
different colors, to use preset color tables, and to apply pictorial
mapping for pictures and presentation mapping for other objects.
Color substitution
Note: To determine the RGB values of a given highlight color, use
the List Options command. When using the Pictorial highlight color
rendering algorithm, the RGB value given will saturate on the page.
When using the presentation algorithm, the RGB value will not be
saturated.
If the print document calls for a color that requires a dry ink that is not
installed in the printer, the Printer Controller acts according to the
current color substitution parameters.
The options for color substitution with the color mismatch action are:
•Abort—Deletes the job.
•UseLoadedColor—Uses the toner that is currently loaded on
the printer.
•RequestOperatorIntervention—Causes a job to be ineligible for
printing until the highlight color is changed.
At your client workstation, you can specify these color substitution
options when submitting a job to DocuPrint.

Workstations
7. 7Client workstations
This chapter discusses the various client workstation configurations
and the processes that may be used to transfer data to the DocuPrint
for printing.
Print data originates with a document created by the user at a client
workstation using an application software package, or at a
mainframe or minicomputer. The application allows users to create
and format a document according to their exact specifications.
The application software provides the capability to print the
document using a page description language (PDL). The application
produces print data in one of the supported page description
language formats, for example PostScript level 2.
Submitting print jobs
You can send print data directly from the application to the printer, or
you can create a PDL data file on the workstation. The method you
choose depends on the workstation configuration and the job
submission requirements.
Printing directly from the application (sometimes referred to as
“transparent printing”) may require fewer steps, but depending on the
application, this method may not support all available print options,
such as number of copies, simplex or duplex printing, and stitching.
Transparent printing is done using one of the Xerox print drivers, or
by using third-party drivers which may also use the Xerox PPD file for
your printer.
Using a print job submission program requires a second step in the
printing process. The user prints from the application to a PDL data
file, usually by specifying a print driver set to print to file. The user
then closes the document and uses one of the following methods to
submit the job and specify print options:
•The lpr command provides options for submitting print jobs. The
functionality of the lpr command is dependent on the TCP/IP
software installed on the workstation.
•Xerox Client Software provides a print command for submitting
jobs and specifying print options. The functionality of the print
command is dependent on the TCP/IP software installed on the
workstation.
•Xerox DocuPrint Document Submission Client software for the
Macintosh provides a graphical user interface for submitting
jobs and specifying print options.
XEROX DOCUPRINT 92C NPS SYSTEM OVERVIEW GUIDE7-1
CLIENT WORKSTATIONS
Communicating with the network
•Xerox DocuPrint Print Submission software for Windows 3.x,
Windows 95/98, and Windows NT provides graphical user
interfaces for submitting jobs and specifying print options.
In many cases, the workstation can be set up for more than one
method of job submission.
After the print data has been prepared for printing and combined with
print options data—either by the application software or by a print job
submission utility—the print job is sent over the network.
Client workstations require a network software utility that submits the
job using the appropriate network protocol. While this software must
be installed and running for jobs to be submitted successfully to
DocuPrint, once installed, its operation is transparent to the user.
Shown below are the workstations supported by DocuPrint NPS, and
the networking options and job submission methods available for
each client.

A. APaper and other supplies
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 sizesYour 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 92C NPS SYSTEM OVERVIEW GUIDE A-1
PAPER AND OTHER SUPPLIES
CharacteristicsThe 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 stocksFollowing 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-2XEROX DOCUPRINT 92C NPS SYSTEM OVERVIEW GUIDE
Paper care
PAPER AND OTHER 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 paperPaper 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.

PAPER AND OTHER SUPPLIES
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.
For colored inks, use the color developer specified for each color in
the table below:

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
Tap es
Fonts
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.
Data can be printed on DocuPrint printers in many sizes and type
styles called fonts. A font is a character set which has unique
characteristics, such as type style, 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.

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.
Your Xerox sales representative can help you submit the initial order
of supplies needed for installation. These items include paper, dry
ink, fuser lubricant, and developer.
Once your printer volume is established, planning ahead and buying
Xerox supplies in quantity can save you money. Your Xerox supply
specialists can help you. There are two centers available to assist
you:
