1. 1System overview

This chapter introduces the DocuPrint 96 and 96 MICR IPS, the 4635
and 4635 MICR IPS, and the DocuPrint 180 and 180 MICR IPS
printing systems. It describes the systems’ hardware and software
components, features, functions, and modes of operation.

Functional overview of the DocuPrint IPS

The 96 IPS, 96 MICR IPS, 4635 IPS, 4635 MICR IPS, 180 IPS, and
the 180 MICR IPS print high quality documents in simplex or duplex
mode at high speeds.

DocuPrint IPS printers support:

• Duplex printing

• Media handling of multiple weights, sizes, and types

• Optional modules for enhanced finishing and output to third-

party finishing devices

• Optional enabling of third-party roll feeders

• Optional high-capacity feeder which provides additional feeder

trays.

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 IBM InfoPrint Manager can
attach to a PSF/VSE system and the PSF/2, PSF/6000, or IBM
InfoPrint Manager can furnish the TCP/IP support for the IPS printer.

For information on the minimum PSF levels needed to support the
IPS, refer to your Xerox DocuPrint 96/4635/180 IPS Installation
Planning Guide.

for IPDS or the NPS operating system for PostScript or PCL.

The Printer Controller provides the printer with print data and
commands and receives status information from the printer.

Host Channel Unit: On channel-attached systems, the Printer
Controller has an additional component called the Host Channel Unit,
or HCU. The HCU contains the channel communications board, and
handles communication between PSF and the controller when data
is received over a bus and tag connection.

mouse-driven interface to the IPS. Using the windows on the GUI
screen, you can configure your system; perform diagnostic and
administrative tasks; and set up, change, and implement system
options, and run print jobs.

The IPS main window displays the current system status, as well as
the current printer settings, including the current input and output tray
configurations. From the IPS main window you access the various
menus and windows you use to configure and operate the system.
Refer to the chapter “User interface” in this guide, for more detailed
information on the IPS graphical user interface components.

Printer The printer 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.

The 96, 4635, and 180 IPS are monochrome printers. Print jobs that
contain color commands are printed in black.

Host connectivity options

Channel-attached configuration Figure 1-1 illustrates the components of a channel-attached IPS.

The IPS can be set up to receive data from a host in one of two ways:

• Over a channel with bus and tag cable connection, via the Host

Channel Unit (HCU)

• Through a Token Ring or Ethernet interface, using TCP/IP

protocol (not available in a VM or VSE host environment)

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.)

This configuration requires a Host Channel Unit (HCU) to interface
between the host channel and the IPS controller.

IPDS data stream

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

All IPDS resources (print data sets, page definitions, form definitions,
page segments, fonts, and overlays) supported by the IBM 3825 and
3827 printers are supported by the Xerox IPS software. Additionally,
there are several data towers supported within the AFP environment
which are fully supported by the IPS software, to a level supported by
the IBM 3825 and IBM 3827 printer capabilities:

• IM Image IMD1

• FOCA: Font Object Content Architecture

• MO:DCA-P: Mixed Object Document Content Architecture for

Presentation

• PTOCA PT1, PT2, and PT3: Presentation Text Object Content

Architecture

• IOCA: Image Object Content Architecture

• GOCA: Graphics Object Content Architecture

• BCOCA: Bar code Object Content Architecture

• OL1: Overlay One

• PS1: Page Segment One

Dual Mode

• Line mode data streams

Each of the data objects follow the same object rule of containing
delimiting fields with structured fields describing each object.

Xerox DocuPrint Dual Mode option enables both DocuPrint NPS and
IPS 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 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.

• Bus and tag attachment through the HCU can be used for

IPDS, and Token Ring or Ethernet connection for the NPS.

When the DocuPrint system is in IPS mode, it can accept PostScript
and PCL data streams in the background; however, it can print these
jobs only after it is switched to NPS mode. However, when the
system is in NPS mode, it cannot accept IPDS data streams in the
background.

XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/4635/180 IPS SYSTEM OVERVIEW GUIDE 1-5

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

96/4635/180 IPS hardware features

The 96, 4635, and 180 IPS provide numerous features that can be
enabled or configured using the graphical user interface on the
printer controller.

Multiple input trays

Multiple feeder trays can be configured to feed paper for jobs in the
most effective manner. For example, the trays can provide nonstop
printing of a complex job that requires many paper stocks, or only a
few stocks, by using the trays’ continuous loading capability. A
different input 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.

• 96 IPS: Three addressable input trays are standard with the

• 4635 and 180 IPS: Four addressable input trays are standard

system, and one additional tray is available as an option.

with the system, and two additional trays are available as
options.

Feeder tray capacities, based on 20-pound or 80 gsm (grams per
square meter) bond, are:

• Tray 1: 1100 sheets

• Tray 2: 600 sheets

• Trays 3, 4, 5, and 6: 2600 sheets

Note: The equivalent grams per square meter of 20-pound bond is
actually 75 gsm. However, there is no standard 75 gsm paper — the
available stock that is closest in weight to 20-pound bond is 80
gsm.

1-6 XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/4635/180 IPS SYSTEM OVERVIEW GUIDE

Roll feeder support

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

The 96, 4635, and 180 IPS can each accommodate a third-party roll
feeder as an optional input tray.

• The 96 and 4635 IPS have an optional configuration in which

the roll feeder interfaces with the last feeder/stacker module.
With this configuration the 4635 IPS may have up to six feeder
trays with the sixth being the roll feeder. The 96 IPS may have
up to five input trays, with the roll feeder as the fifth.

Note: To be able to use this roll feeder option on the 96/4635
IPS, you must have the Input Enablement kit installed. (Refer to
“Options enabling feeding and finishing,” later in this
chapter.)

• The roll feeder option for the 180 IPS is installed in the inverter

feeder/stacker module, replacing the feeder tray. It does not
require the Input Enablement kit or DFA software. The
maximum number of feeder/stacker modules supported for this
configuration is four, including the inverter module with the roll
feeder. With the two processor feeder trays, this makes a total
of six input trays possible.

Advanced paper handling

The 96/4635/180 IPS can handle paper stock ranging in size from 8
by 10 inches / 203 by 254 mm to 14.33 by 17 inches / 364 by 432
mm, including sizes A3 and A4. They process paper weights from 16­to 110-pound / 60 to 200 gsm.

Note: The 4635 and 180 IPS can also print on paper as small as 7
by 10 inches / 178 by 254 mm, with the optional 7 by 10-inch kit.

Jobs can also be printed on label stock, transparencies, precollated
stock, tab stock, carbonless paper, and other specialized stocks. The
printer engine monitors the print job so that, should a paper jam
occur, the job resumes on the correct page, at the correct tab, using
the same color, and so forth, providing complete document integrity.

XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/4635/180 IPS SYSTEM OVERVIEW GUIDE 1-7

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

600 dpi resolution

The 96, 4635, and 180 IPS all print at high resolution. The printers
can receive data at 240, 300, and 600 dpi (dots per inch). All 240 or
300 dpi data is interpolated to 600 dpi for higher print quality.

Table 1-1 shows how data streams of different resolutions are
interpolated.

For the 96 IPS, the 4635 IPS, and the 96/4635 MICR IPS, it is
recommended that all fonts and other resources that are at 240 dpi
be converted to 300 dpi before printing, rather than leaving the
conversion for the controller to do. This ensures better print quality.

Caution: The 96/4635/180 IPS must have the same font resolution
specified as the host input data stream (refer to your 96/4635/180
IPS Guide to Configuring and Managing the System for instructions
on specifying the input resolution). Conflicts between the input font
resolution and the IPS specification could result in inability to print the
job, or in missing variable data in the output.

Each output bin has offsetting capability and a capacity of 2500
sheets of 20-pound or 80 gsm bond.

Print at 600 x 2400 dpi

Print at 600 x 600 dpi

Note: This capacity does not apply to 11 by 17-inch and A3 papers.
Because of the additional weight these large sheets add to the bins,
each bin can hold only up to 1500 sheets of A3 or 11 by 17-inch
papers.

• 96 IPS: One output bin is standard for the system, with one

additional bin available as an option (providing up to two bins
total).

• 4635 and 180 IPS: Two output bins are standard, with up to two

additional bins available as options (providing up to four bins
total).

Bypass transport option

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

The programmable bypass transport moves paper from the stacker
to a third-party finishing device (for example, a stitcher). When
installed, the bypass transport is attached to the last feeder stacker
module.

Note: With the bypass transport installed, the 4635 and 180 IPS
can support up to three feeder/stacker modules, including the
inverter feeder/stacker. The 96 IPS can have no more than two
feeder/stackers.

User interface

The IPS full-color graphical user interface provides an easy-to-use,
mouse-driven interface to the IPS. Using the graphical screens, you
can configure your system; perform diagnostic and administrative
tasks; and set up, change, and implement system options.

The IPS main window displays the current system status, as well as
the current printer settings, including the current input and output tray
configurations. From the IPS main window you access the various
menus and windows you use to change the system settings and
perform diagnostic and administrative tasks. Refer the “User
interface” chapter in this guide for further information on the IPS
graphical user interface.

Software features

Mixed paper sizes within a job

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

The following special IPS software features provide system flexibility.

The IPS can print jobs that call for a mix of paper sizes, without
needing to interrupt or slow down printing.

An example of such an application would be a multi-page billing
statement consisting of:

• One or more 8 1/2 by 11-inch sheets itemizing charges, and

• A final 8 1/2 by 14-inch page containing the rest of the billing

items, the total amount due, and a tear-off section to mail back
with payment.

Note: When a print job calls for paper sizes that span over different
pitch modes, the software will either cycle down or run at a lower
pitch mode, based on the different pitch modes required, the paper
sizes called for, the speed of the printer, and the time it takes to shut
down the printer.

Tray selection capabilities

Output tray With the output bin selection capability you can select a different

Note: Paper size and printer trays cannot be changed while the job

is running.

You can select a different input tray or output bin for each job. You
can also select a different input tray for each page of a job.

Input tray With the input tray selection capability at the Copy Subgroup level,

you can select a different input tray for each copy of a page of a job.
You can use this capability to print each page of a multiple-part form
on a different color paper stock, or to print the cover of a job on a card
stock and to print specific pages within the job on a different color
stock.

To specify a different input tray for each job, use the BIN command
in the SUBGROUP level of the COPYGROUP in the FORMDEF.

1. At the host, set the JCL keyword OUTBIN in the OUTPUT
statement to specify a bin number from 1 to 65535, or use the
OUTBIN command in the FORMDEF to specify a bin number
from 1 to 255.

2. At the graphical user interface, use the Output Configuration
window to group the trays. You must also select Allow Host
Control from the Bin Selection Mode pull-down menu.

IOCA Replicate and Trim

Mixed plex

The IPS also supports Replicate and Trim, which improves the
processing of IM and IO images that contain large areas of shaded
graphics. (IM images are resolution-dependent images that cannot
be compressed or scaled; IO images are resolution-independent.)

The IOCA Replicate and Trim capability allows for faster
transmission to the printer of AFP applications with IM images that
have large or widespread shaded areas. It also reduces the storage
area required on the host and on the printer.

The IPS allows switching between plex modes (simplex to duplex
and vice versa) within and between jobs without shutting down the
printer.

Switching of plex modes occurs as follows:

• From simplex to duplex: The switch is done without a printer

shutdown or dead cycles.

• From duplex to simplex: The switch is done without a printer

shutdown. However, the printer may, if necessary, dead cycle to
clear the paper path of all duplex sheets before feeding the first
simplex sheet.

Users can avoid switching from duplex to simplex mode (and thus,
avoid the dead cycles) by using the Maximum Simplex GUI panel to
perform simulated simplex. For more details, refer to the “Setting the
system configuration” chapter in the Xerox DocuPrint 96/4635/180
IPS Guide to Configuring and Managing the System.

Note: When you print simplex pages in duplex mode, the
throughput speed is halved. The blank back pages of the simulated
simplex sheets are counted as billable pages by the system’s
meter.

Enhanced N-Up

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

Enhanced N-Up provides the following capabilities:

Sheets On a given sheet, users can place individual pages:

• At any position on either side of the sheet

• In any orientation

• In any size that fits on the sheet

Each side of the sheet of paper can have up to four pages.

Overlays Users can place overlays relative to any partition origin, with or

without variable page data from the application program.

Users can specify different overlays for each page.

Offsets Users can specify different offsets for each page.

Rotations Users can specify different rotations for each page.

Form ejection Users can specify form ejection to a new partition or a new sheet.

Trace facility

To help diagnose problems, the system provides a trace mechanism.
Trace files store system configuration information, maintain TCP/IP
protocol headers, and time-stamp all records.

For detailed information on this feature, refer to the “Setting the
system configuration” chapter in the Xerox DocuPrint 96/4635/180
IPS Guide to Configuring and Managing the System.

Overstrike, underscore, subscript, and superscript

Support for the PT2 Subset of PTOCA enables the IPS to print
overstrikes, underscores, subscripts, and superscripts where
specified in jobs.

Background color for OCA colors

Users can specify COLOR on DRAWBOX (i.e., background color) as
long as the color is restricted to colors defined with the OCA or the
Highlight Color model.

XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/4635/180 IPS SYSTEM OVERVIEW GUIDE 1-13

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

Full-page 600 dpi images

This feature allows for 600 dpi full-page images to be printed on the
IPS. To invoke this feature, you must have the resolution set at the
controller to 600 dpi.

Note: 600 dpi images can be generated only in the PSF/6000
environment. However, they can be transported to other
environments for printing.

Document Feeding and Finishing Architecture (DFA)

The Document Feeding and Finishing Architecture (DFA) on the
4635 and 180 IPS supports all third-party finishing devices currently
validated for the LCDS (J11) printers. The bypass transport option is
required for in-line finishing devices and support of ENDOFSET and
ENDOFJOB (using the PSF MARKFORM or FORMDEF JOG
command). DFA also supports personality profiles, which identify the
unique characteristics (for example, the sheet timing and the status
feedback profiles) of the attached finishing devices.

DFA also enables use of certain third-party roll feed-to-cut sheet
feeders. An Input Enablement kit is required for some of these
devices.

Page origin rotation for continuous form jobs

The 90-degree page origin rotation feature enables the IPS to print
jobs designed for continuous form printing, without the need to
rework an existing application. At the user interface, you can set a
job’s page origin to be rotated 90
continuous form jobs on cut-sheet paper.

Double-byte fonts

Double-byte fonts consist of characters that are larger and more
complex than the single-byte characters making up the Roman
alphabet. Therefore, each character of a double-byte font requires
two bytes to represent it. Some languages requiring double-byte
fonts include Chinese, Korean, and Japanese.

The IPS supports printing with certain double-byte fonts, which can
be used in combination with single-byte fonts.

The following double-byte character sets are supported:

• Simplified Chinese

• Traditional Chinese

• Japanese

• Korean

• Thai.

o

to accommodate printing

Note: When using double-byte fonts, the font loading time will
increase if a font change occurs between reports.

1-14 XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/4635/180 IPS SYSTEM OVERVIEW GUIDE

Outline font support

Printer resident font support

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

The IPS supports the use of IBM outline fonts for both single- and
double-byte applications. These fonts may be downloaded during the
jobs or may be loaded into the system and made resident through the
use of a user interface option on the Configuration menu.

These outline fonts allow users to specify a single font that can be
rasterized in a variety of point sizes by the IPS. The IBM outline fonts
are based on Adobe type 1 and type 0 fonts that are in PostScript
format.

Note: The IPS supports printer resident outline fonts. It does not
support printer resident raster fonts.

The IPS stores both single-byte and double-byte fonts locally on the
Printer Controller and does not require you to download the fonts
from the host. This can lead to significant performance gains,
especially when the printer is attached remotely.

Processing options

Message translation

Users can also set the default font for text or barcode Human
Readable Interpretation (HRI) to one of the installed fonts to replace
a font that is distributed with the system.

Fonts can be installed from an IBM supplied font CD or via FTP to the
Controller workstation.

Note: The IPS supports printer resident outline fonts. It does not
support printer resident raster fonts.

The IPS allows users to specify processing options using the GUI.
For example, changing the model number reported to the host. Refer
to the Xerox DocuPrint 96/4635/180 IPS Guide to Configuring and
Managing the System for details on these options.

The IPS provides some message translatability for the GUI and
printer monitor. Users can select the language of their choice from a
GUI menu option.

Configuration file processing

The IPS adds a version identifier to the configuration files. The
identifier allows for migration of configuration data from one release
to a subsequent release at upgrade time. The IPS allows users to
save, upgrade, and restore configuration data such as input and
output tray mappings and DFA configurations.

XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/4635/180 IPS SYSTEM OVERVIEW GUIDE 1-15

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

PCI Bus support

Access control by privilege mode

The IPS supports the SUN Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI)
Bus architecture, in addition to the S-Bus platform. PCI support
provides the following advantages:

• Migration of Printer Controller components to newer technology

• Higher performance on the Printer Controller

• Wider selection of system peripherals

• Adherence to industry standards.

The IPS controls access to various functions based on four privilege
modes:

1. User

2. Operator

3. Administrator

4. Service.

Depending on the privilege mode set by the Customer Service
Engineer, users will have access to certain graphical user interface
(GUI) functions, while other functions will be grayed out. Refer to the

Xerox DocuPrint 96/4635/180 IPS Guide to Configuring and
Managing the System for details on this functionality.

1-16 XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/4635/180 IPS SYSTEM OVERVIEW GUIDE

Software license

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

When an IPS is purchased, the owner needs a license to use the
operating system software. After a user calls in with a host ID (Sun
SPARC/Ultra host ID), the user will receive a license string.

The user license is enabled by entering the 20-character
authorization text string at the Printer Controller keyboard. Your
Xerox service representative can obtain the license text string for you
and enter it when your IPS is installed, or when you receive your IPS
software upgrade. For details on how to obtain the license string from
Xerox, refer to the Xerox DocuPrint 96/4635/180 IPS Guide to
Configuring and Managing the System, in the chapter “Setting up the
printer controller.”

Until the license string is entered, your IPS 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 IPS remains in Disabled mode and cannot print.

Although your service representative usually does this for you, you
are able to enter your license string yourself from the IPS main
window. The procedures are outlined in the chapter “Setting up the
printer controller” in your Xerox DocuPrint 96/4635/180 IPS Guide to
Configuring and Managing the System.

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

Remote service (Sixth Sense Technology)

Sixth Sense Technology is a user-friendly suite of tools that allow
service personnel to connect with a customer system and evaluate
its performance while the system is being used. The Customer
Service Engineer (CSE) can troubleshoot problems remotely,
transfer, apply, and remove patches remotely, and, if an on-site call
is required, arrive with the solution to fix the problem.

Customer benefits of using this technology include:

• Diagnostic help and identification of required parts before the

service visit

• Planned visits based on known problems and/or replacement of

wear-out items

• Customer self-maintenance to provide faxed replacement

change reminder to trained operators.

Using the Sixth Sense Technology, CSEs can access your system’s
diagnostic data remotely using a regular telephone line almost as if
they were at the Printer Controller (SPARCstation).

For security reasons, the customer maintains control of the modem
connection, and may leave the modem disconnected. Also, the
customer provides a password for access to the Sixth Sense
Technology via the modem.

For information on enabling and disabling of the Sixth Sense
Technology, refer to the chapter “Calling for Service” in your Xerox
DocuPrint 96/4635/180 IPS Troubleshooting Guide.

2. 2Printer Controller

This chapter describes the DocuPrint IPS Printer Controller (also
called the system controller). It includes a list of component
hardware, software, and fonts, and discusses the key elements of
software operation.

Components of the Printer Controller

The Printer Controller enables you to use proprietary Xerox IPS
hardware, firmware, and software to control the printer. It has the
following major hardware components:

• Sun UltraSPARC workstation. The Sun workstation has a

high-performance RISC processor chipset, based on the
industry-standard Scalable Processor Architecture (SPARC)
and a high-capacity hard disk drive. It contains the following
components:

— Processor

– Hard disk

– Diskette drive

– CD-ROM drive

– Connectivity boards for Ethernet and, optionally, Token

Ring

— Monitor

— Keyboard

— Mouse

• Host Channel Unit (HCU) (Channel-attached systems only).

The HCU contains the channel communications board. This is
used only when printing data received over a channel via a bus
and tag connection.

Note: Some elements and components of the Printer Controller are
accessible only by a service representative; for example, the
diagnostics for the Sun workstation processor.

Note: Printer controller hardware configurations are subject to
upgrade.

XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/4635/180 IPS SYSTEM OVERVIEW GUIDE 2-1

Processor

The processor is the central processing unit (CPU) of the Sun
workstation. It contains a power switch, a hard drive, a diskette drive,
a CD-ROM drive, a power receptacle and outlet, connectors, and
ports.

A Data Control Interface Module (DCIM2) card for the Sun Ultra 2, or
a PCIM2 card for the Sun Ultra 60 is installed in the processor, to
which the printer cable is connected. In addition, the processor
contains the connectivity boards for Ethernet and, optionally, Token
Ring.

Hard disk

One addressable, high-speed, high-capacity hard disk is provided.
The hard disk stores the operating system, the IPS application, and
any buffered pages. Do not use the hard disk to store other
applications or data except as directed by your service
representative.

XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/4635/180 IPS SYSTEM OVERVIEW GUIDE 2-3

PRINTER CONTROLLER

Diskette drive

The floppy disk drive is located in the processor, on the front section
of the UltraSPARC. It uses industry standard 3.5 inch, 1.44-MB,
double-sided, high-density floppy disks. This disk drive is not an input
source for print jobs or for 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, located in the processor above the diskette
drive, is a high-density, read-only, optical laser storage device used
for loading the IPS operating system, online documentation, and
other files.

Cartridge tape drive

An optional 8 GB, 4 mm external 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.

Monitor

Keyboard

Mouse

The monitor has a high-resolution color screen, which displays the
IPS graphical user interface screen.

The type 4 or 5 keyboard has 107 alphanumeric keys, symbol and
special character keys, an extended character set, and function keys.

The mouse has three buttons. The left and right buttons are used to
select IPS functions. The center button provides additional functions
that you will not be required to use.

If your workstation has an optical mouse, it must remain on its
designated metallic pad to be active. If the mouse has a roller ball
instead of an optical sensor underneath, it requires a non-metallic
pad.

2-4 XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/4635/180 IPS SYSTEM OVERVIEW GUIDE

Host Channel Unit (HCU) — channel-attached systems only

The HCU handles all of the IPDS communications and handshaking
with PSF on the host when receiving data over a channel. (It is not
used when the IPS is printing data using TCP/IP.)

• The front panel of the HCU has 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, bus

and tag cable input and bypass connectors, and a dual serial
port. The standard switching power supply is capable of 10 amp
on the 5-volt output.

Note: You are responsible for obtaining, stringing, and maintaining
fully-populated bus and tag cables.

Placement of the processor

When you place your Printer Controller processor on a desktop,
make sure to allow at least 6 inches / 152 mm of unobstructed space
at the rear and both sides of the processor. Do not allow any piece of
equipment to blow warm air into the air-intake vents of the processor.

Caution: Do not place a monitor with a base larger than the
processor on top of the unit. Do not block any fan or vents on the
sides or rear of the processor.

Caution: If you plan to move the Printer Controller, make sure to
consult with your service representative.

menus through which you can perform operator and system
administrator tasks.

XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/4635/180 IPS SYSTEM OVERVIEW GUIDE 3-1

USER INTERFACE

Graphical user interface screen

After you power on the HCU (if appropriate) and the Sun workstation,
the Printer Controller monitor displays three windows:

• IPS main window

• IPS Console window

• IPS Print Engine Monitor window.

The IPS main window is the largest window on the screen. The main
window displays the current system setup, the current system status,
and any jobs that are running. This window also provides access to
menus and subwindows from which you can configure and operate
your system.

The IPS Console window displays messages that warn you of
Printer Controller problems. (This window initially displays below the
IPS main window on the left, but it can be moved where desired.)

Note: High frequency service indicator (HFSI) messages may
appear occasionally in this window. These messages do not indicate
any problem, merely that you should advise your service
representative to check the indicated areas during the next service
call.

The IPS Print Engine Monitor window shows printer error
messages, indicates the printer status and displays printer and DFA
messages. (This window initially displays below the IPS main window
on the right, but it can be moved where desired.)

The following figure shows these windows on the screen of the
Printer Controller monitor.

Printer control console

PRINTERS

The printer control console is the color monitor located on top of the
printer. It contains message areas and graphic displays that alert you
to paper jams and other fault conditions, such as low dry ink. The
printer control console also contains buttons that allow you to control
certain functions of the printer—such as stopping printing and
continuing an interrupted job—without returning to the Printer
Controller.

The printer control console has the following features:

• Local controls and displays for jam clearance, paper loading/

unloading, and diagnostics/service (used by the service
representative). Two types of messages are displayed on the
printer control console: fault messages, which relate to printer
malfunctions, and information messages, which relate to printer
conditions such as low dry ink.

• Touch-sensitive areas that allow you to select options by

touching the printer control console screen. A tone sounds
when you touch one of these areas.

• A printer alarm which gives three beeps, repeated for ten

seconds. The alarm is generated by any event that stops the
printer.

The alarm stops after three cycles or as soon as you start to
clear the fault condition (for example, when you open printer
doors or covers specified in the clearance instructions). You can
stop the alarm by pressing one of the printer control console
buttons or by selecting a function through the touch screen.

Attention light

The sample tray located on top of the printer receives output such as
transparencies, sample prints or system files, and waste sheets that
cannot be sent to the purge tray. The sample tray should be
monitored and emptied when it contains 100 sheets, although no
notification is given when the tray is full.

An Attention light is mounted on top of the inverter module. This light
either blinks or modulates (alternately brightens and dims) when the
printer requires operator attention. The light has three states:

• Off — No printer problems exist that require attention.

• Steady light — A situation exists that needs attention soon

(such as a low dry ink condition).

• Flashing — The printer has stopped and requires your

attention immediately.

Note: When the Attention light starts flashing, an explanatory
message appears on the printer control console display. A similar
message appears in the IPS Print Engine Monitor window on the
Printer Controller screen.

Purge tray

The purge tray is located on top of the feeder/stacker module.
Aborted sheets (for example, damaged sheets or sheets cleared
after a paper jam) are sent to this tray. The purge tray should be
emptied when it has received 100 sheets of paper, although the
printer does not notify you when the tray is full.

High-capacity stackers

The 4635 IPS and 180 IPS can have from two to four high-capacity
stacker bins, and the 96 IPS can have from one to two. Each bin
holds up to 2500 sheets.

Figure 4-4. High-capacity stackers (HCS)

The printed output is stacked onto the bin platform. The stacking
capacity is approximately 100 to 150 sheets less when stacking into
a container.

It is also possible to select the level to which paper will be stacked in
the HCS.

A stacking elevator maintains the paper at the proper level for
stacking and lowers the stack for unloading. There is an offset
mechanism that offsets printed sets toward the front or back of the
HCS bin. Each HCS bin has unlinked double doors to provide you
with easy, yet safe, access for unloading paper from the printer.

Options enabling third-party feeding and finishing

The Input Enablement and bypass transport devices are offered as
optional components. These options allow you to customize your
printer for increased efficiency and specialized applications, such as
roll feed and finishing devices.

Programmable bypass transport The ability to add a third-party finisher to your 96/4635/180 IPS is

made possible by the programmable bypass transport option.
Finishers increase your production capabilities by providing a wide
variety of finishing choices (for example, slitting, booklet making,
binding, and so forth).

Connected to the printer’s last feeder/stacker module, the
programmable bypass transport allows finishers to interface directly
with your 96/4635/180 IPS. It accepts all paper stocks within the 96/
4635/180 range and accommodates simplex and duplex printing.
The programmable bypass transport meets the Xerox Document
Feeding and Finishing Architecture (DFA) specifications.

Input Enablement kit Adding a third-party feeder to your 96, 4635, or 180 IPS is made

possible by the Input Enablement option. The 96/4635/180 IPS
accepts cut sheets from the feeding device through an entry slot at
the lower right of the last feeder/stacker module.

The input enablement option provides extended paper feed
capability from third party feeder devices. Sheets are received from
a third party feeder device through an entry slot located in the last
feeder/stacker module of the system. The 96/4635/180 IPS controls
the input sheet feeding in accordance with DFA specifications.

Note: The 180 IPS has the option of a roll feeder that does not
require the Input Enablement kit and is not enabled by DFA. This
feeder is installed in the inverter feeder/stacker module in the place
of the feeder tray.

5. 5MICR IPS

The 96 MICR IPS, 4635 MICR IPS, and 180 MICR IPS produce a
magnetic ink character recognition (MICR) line on negotiable and
turnaround documents such as checks and bills. The 96/4635/180
MICR IPS prints documents using magnetic ink and special fonts to
create machine-readable information that allows for quick document
processing.

In general, MICR is used to print accounting and routing information
on blank checks and other negotiable documents, the magnetic
encoding capabilities can be used for any printed output.

For more information on creating MICR documents and using MICR
tools, refer to the Generic MICR Fundamentals Guide, publication
number 721P14083, provided with your IPS.

96/4635/180 MICR IPS printing features

The 96, 4635, and 180 MICR IPS meet ABA standards and ANSI and
ISO specifications for automatic check handling. These printing
systems print the MICR line and the rest of the check at the same
time, which reduces processing time and cost. Their special features
include the following.

MICR fonts Xerox provides a set of 300 dpi MICR fonts for use on the 96/4635/

180 MICR IPS. You must use only these Xerox-supplied MICR fonts
to have the high print quality Xerox guarantees.

The 96/4635/180 MICR IPS creates machine-readable documents
using the standard E13B and CMC7 fonts. These fonts support 14
characters, including the numerals zero through nine.

The “Test” fonts are non-readable MICR hollow bitmap (or outline)
fonts, provided for testing MICR applications and printing non­negotiable documents.

E13B font set: The E13B series includes:

• E13B

• E13B Landscape

• E13B Test

• E13B Test Landscape.

CMC7 font set: The CMC7 set is an alternative set of MICR fonts
that has been adopted in various countries outside the U.S., and is
the official standard in France. Like the E13B font, it is magnetically
readable, but with a different character design and recognition
criteria. The series includes:

• CMC7

• CMC7 Landscape

• CMC7 Test

• CMC7 Test Landscape.

XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/4635/180 IPS SYSTEM OVERVIEW GUIDE 5-1

MICR IPS

Check Performance Guarantee Xerox’s Check Performance Guarantee means Xerox stands behind

the performance of its MICR printers and inks. However, if any E13B
or CMC7 font is used other than the ones supplied by Xerox, this
guarantee is invalidated.

300/600 dpi resolution The 96/4635/180 MICR IPS receives data at 300 dpi and interpolates

it to print at 600 dpi. All AFP resources, including fonts, required for
MICR print jobs must be available at 300 dpi. Print image size can be
up to 14.33 by 17 inches.

Note: Non-MICR 240 dpi fonts must be converted to 300 dpi before
they can be used on the 96/4635/180 MICR IPS.

Transfer Assist Blade When you enable MICR from the MICR Mode window, the IPS

makes adjustments so that the MICR line on your documents prints
all the way to the edges of the paper with no fading or lightening. To
ensure reliable print quality of the entire MICR line, you must have
the Transfer Assist Blade installed in your 96/4635/180 MICR IPS
printer.

Note: The Custom Transfer Assist Blade should be used on your
96/4635/180 MICR IPS when you are using nonstandard paper
sizes. This will ensure acceptable MICR line quality.

Check example The following figure shows a check (U. S.) printed with a MICR line.

The entire MICR line, which consists of numbers and symbols, is
printed in magnetic ink.

• Transit — There are two transit symbols in a MICR line. The

numbers between the transit symbols indicate the institution on
which the check is drawn and the location which the document
should be sent for processing.

• Amount — There are two amount symbols in a MICR line. The

numbers between the amount symbols indicate the amount of
the check. Generally, the amount information is added to the
MICR line by the bank during processing.

• On-Us — The field to the left of this symbol contains the

account number. The content of the On-Us field is determined
by the issuing institution. The branch of the bank on which the
check is drawn may also be indicated in this field.

In general, the account number, bank branch number, and
check number are easily recognizable. Typically, the serial
number for the check displays to the right of the On-Us symbol.

On larger business size checks, this symbol also defines the
Auxiliary On-Us field located on the left end of the check.
Generally, this optional field contains a multiple digit serial
number.

• Dash — The dash symbol can be used as a separator in the

On-Us field. For example, some banks use the dash to separate
the bank branch number from the account number. However,
reader and sorter manufacturers discourage this use as it can
cause detection problems.

MICR IPS

Verifying MICR output with the MICR Position and Dimension Gauge

The MICR Position and Dimension Gauge, which consists of a thin
sheet of flexible plastic attached to the bottom of a piece of hard thick
plastic, is provided in a kit that includes a small magnifying glass.

The gauge is used by placing the printed output between the two
pieces of plastic, which allows for a comparison of the MICR output
elements against industry standard output. This process verifies the
character spacing, horizontal and vertical alignment as well as
checks for spots and voids.

Verifying MICR output with the MICR comparator

The 8 power (8X) Comparator with MICR Grid is used to compare the
characters on the MICR output to industry standard output.

The comparator is an optical tool that magnifies each character eight
times. It has a built-in measuring scale that measures the size of the
MICR characters and checks for spots and voids (deletions). Keep
the following in mind when using the 8 power (8X) Comparator with
MICR Grid:

• Patterned paper can cause viewing problems. White paper

should be used when performing quality evaluations.

• The quality of the MICR output may vary with the type of paper

used.

• Handle the comparator with care. The grid is printed on the

bottom and may be damaged or worn off in time.

The comparator can be used with transmitted light or reflected light.

Transmitted light To use the comparator with transmitted light, place the bottom of the

comparator on the document and hold the document in front of a
transmitted light source. This allows the light to be transmitted
through the document. This is particularly useful when checking for
voids and verifying the edges of the characters.

Using the comparator with transmitted light is the most accurate
method of verifying character quality, as transmitted light tends to
make the line more narrow and make spots appear smaller.

Reflected light To use the comparator with reflected light, place the bottom of the

comparator on the document and hold the document in front of a
reflected light source.

Using the comparator with reflected light is the most accurate method
of checking for spots.

A. APaper and other supplies

This appendix provides information and specifications for the media
you use with your Xerox DocuPrint 96, 4635, or 180 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 96, 4635 or 180 printer accepts the following standard size cut-

sheet papers:

• 7 by 10 inches / 178 by 254 mm (with 7-inch kit option)

• B5: 7.17 by 10.12 inches / 182 by 257 mm (with 7-inch option)

• 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

• B4 (European): 9.84 by 13.89 inches / 250 by 353 mm

• JIS B4 (Japanese): 10.12 by 14.33 inches / 257 by 364 mm

• US Ledger/US Tabloid: 11 by 17 inches / 279 by 432 mm

• A3: 11.69 by 16.54 inches / 297 by 420 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.

XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/4635/180 IPS SYSTEM OVERVIEW GUIDE A-1

PAPER AND OTHER SUPPLIES

Use paper within these parameters:

• Lightest: 16-pound or 65 gsm bond

• Heaviest: 110-pound or 200-gsm index.

Note: It is recommended that you use 24-pound paper with MICR
applications, or paper specified by your local banking regulatory
authority.

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 (except 11 by 17-inch or A3 paper). 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.

Use only the processor feeding trays (trays 1 and 2) for labels.
Load labels in the tray with the label side up.

You can direct printed labels to any output tray. Be sure the
printed labels are stacked face up in the output tray, to avoid ink
offsetting and jams due to delamination.

• 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.

Paper width and printer performance

PAPER AND OTHER SUPPLIES

• Perforated paper

• Pre-cut or full tabs

• Carbonless paper.

Note: The 96/4635/180 printer can print on precollated or ordered
stocks, including ordered tabs. However, jam recovery is not
supported with these stocks.

The width of the paper you use for your print job is directly related to
the rate at which the 96, 4635, and 180 printer can print a job. The
rate at which a job prints is the throughput speed and is measured in
pages per minute (ppm). You will want to keep in mind the following
information on the relationship of paper width to printer performance,
when selecting paper for your applications.

The printer operates in different pitch modes. The pitch mode the
printer uses for a specific print job is based on the paper size on
which that job is printed. The following tables list the pitch mode
boundary values, paper widths, and related printing speeds
supported on the 96/4635/180 printer. These charts show that the
shorter the paper width, the higher the pitch mode and the faster the
throughput speed—higher pages per minute (ppm) rate. (“Pages per
minute” is synonymous with “impressions per minute.”)

3 15.31 to 17 in. / 389 to 432 mm 77 ppm

When the printing speed appears to degrade, you may be able to
improve it by running the print job in a higher pitch mode.

Paper size/pitch mode minimum and

maximum

The illustrations in this section show the pitch modes in which you
can operate with the smallest and largest size papers supported by
the 96/4635/180 printer.

Using small paper sizes in 8-pitch mode:

Printing in 8-pitch mode provides the highest throughput speed
available —up to 154 ppm for the 4635 printer and up to 206 ppm for
the 180 printer. (The 96 printer does not support 8-pitch mode.)
However, you should keep the following in mind when you select the
paper you want to use for this mode:

• Paper sizes smaller than 8 inches / 203 mm are supported only

when the optional 7-inch paper kit is installed on the printer.

• The leading edge of any paper used in the printer cannot be

less than 10 inches / 254 mm long.

A-4 XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/4635/180 IPS SYSTEM OVERVIEW GUIDE

PAPER AND OTHER SUPPLIES

The following figure illustrates the maximum and minimum paper
sizes supported in 8-pitch mode.

3 Travel direction of sheets out of paper tray

Using large paper sizes in 3-pitch mode:

Large paper sizes—widths of 15.31 to 17 inches / 389 to 432 mm—
are supported only in 3-pitch mode and must feed short edge first.
These paper sizes slow down the throughput speed (as shown in
tables above).

Note: The 96/4635/180 printer can support 14 by 17-inch / 356 by

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 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

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.

Use the following chart to determine the length of time needed to
condition stacked cartons of paper.

Note: The numbers in the top two rows indicate the temperature
difference between the storage area and the operating environment,
not actual room temperatures.

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 black powder which forms the image
on the printed page. There are three cartridges of 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 60,000 pages. Use only dry ink that is specified for use in the 96,
4635, or 180 printer, as described in the consumable supplies table.

MICR dry ink MICR dry ink is the magnetic black powder which forms the image on

the printed MICR document. There are three cartridges of MICR dry
ink in each carton. The consumption rate of Xerox MICR dry ink is
approximately one cartridge per 60,000 pages. Use only MICR dry
ink in your 96/4635/180 MICR printer.

Fuser agent

The dry ink used with the 96/4635/180 MICR system is designed for
MICR printing and does not function well when used in non-MICR
systems. The same procedure used for non-MICR printing systems
is used to add the dry ink to the 96/4635/180 MICR printer.

Note: Dry ink (toner) yields are based on 7% area coverage. Your
yield may vary, depending on coverage.

Caution: Use only MICR dry ink in the 96/4635/180 MICR printer.
Do not use standard dry ink. MICR dry ink cannot be reused.

Fuser agent (the lubricant for the printer fuser) is a consumable item
required by the 96/4635/180 printers. You should keep at least two
boxes (each box contains one bottle) on hand for installation by the
service representative. The consumption rate of Xerox fuser agent is
approximately one bottle per 250,000 pages. For product
information, refer to the consumable supplies table in this appendix.

Developer

Developer is not consumed by the printer but does have an effective
life of approximately 1,000,000 pages per carton (600,000 per carton
for MICR developer). Both kinds of developer are guaranteed by
Xerox for 600,000 pages per carton. Developer is a required item and
must be kept on hand.

A-12 XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/4635/180 IPS SYSTEM OVERVIEW GUIDE

Diskettes

Cartridge tapes

PAPER AND OTHER SUPPLIES

Use only the developer specified for use in your 96, 4635,or 180
printer.

Caution: The 96/4635/180 MICR printers require a different
developer, with a different part number, from the developer used in
the standard 96/4635/180 printer. Be sure you use only designated
MICR developer in the 96/4635/180 MICR printers.

The developer is changed by your service representative. For
product information, refer to the consumable supplies table in this
appendix.

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
optional quarter-inch cartridge (QIC) tape drive uses 150 MB QIC
tapes.

XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/4635/180 IPS SYSTEM OVERVIEW GUIDE A-13

PAPER AND OTHER SUPPLIES

MICR tools

You can use the following tools to determine whether the MICR
output is printing within MICR specifications:

• MICR Positioning and Dimension Gauge.

• 8 Power (X) Comparator with MICR grid.

Note: You should use the Custom Transfer Assist Blade to ensure
acceptable MICR line quality on all MICR printing systems that use
nonstandard paper sizes.

MICR Positioning and Dimension Gauge

The MICR Positioning and Dimension Gauge (part number
600T80025) consists of a thin sheet of flexible plastic attached to the
bottom of a piece of hard thick plastic. The gauge is provided in a kit
that includes a small magnifying glass.

To use the gauge, place the printed output between the two pieces
of plastic. This allows you to compare the MICR output elements
against industry standard output. Using this process, you can verify
the character spacing, check the horizontal and vertical alignment,
and look for spots and voids.

MICR comparator

You use the eight power (X) comparator with MICR grid to compare
the characters on the MICR output to industry standard output.

The comparator is an optical tool that magnifies each character eight
times. It has a built-in scale that measures the size of the MICR
characters and checks for spots and voids (deletions).

Keep the following in mind when using the 8 Power (X) Comparator
with MICR grid:

• Patterned paper can cause viewing problems. You should use

white paper when you perform quality evaluations.

• The quality of the MICR output may vary, depending on the type

of paper you use.

• Handle the comparator with care. The grid is printed on the

bottom and may be damaged or worn off in time.

You can use the comparator with transmitted or reflected light.

Ordering supplies

PAPER AND OTHER 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 chapter 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, MICR dry ink, fuser agent, developer, and MICR 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:

• To order Xerox paper, transparencies, labels, dry ink, MICR dry

ink, developer, MICR developer, fuser agent, cartridge tapes,
and diskettes, call the Xerox Supply Center at 1-800-822-2200,
weekdays between 7:30 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., Pacific time.
