Controller overview

options

This chapter describes the components and options available for the Xerox DocuPrint 100/115/135/155/180 EPS controller.

The controller receives dat a from a mainframe host or a workstation client, processes the data, and sends it to the printer. The controller also provides the printer with print data and commands, and receives status information from the printer.

The controller consists of a high performance Sun workstation processor running Solaris s oftware. Al so resident on th e controller is the DocuSP software, which manages all printing, diagnostic, and administrative functions on the pr inting system.

The DocuSP software includes a full colo r graphical user interface (GUI). Using the GUI, you set up and configure the system, set up and implement system options, and manage print jobs.

DocuSP remote access

(Remote Workflow)

Remote Workflow, a remote graphical user interface, is available for installation from a CD. The remote GUI allows you to manage your DocuSP-based printers from a single PC or Sun work stati on. You may set your preferences from the remote client to disable or enable some or all connections.

Remote Workflow allows you to configure the printers that you want to manage, and provides real t ime status of the printer s. You may switch between the printers that you are managing, but you can display only one printer GUI at a time.

The Remote Workflow GUI looks and functions the same as the local DocuSP GUI on the controller.

Controller components

The controller consists of a specially-configured Sun workstation and uses proprietary Xerox hardware, firmware, and software. Your controller has one of two possible configurations, described in the following sections.

NOTE: Controller hardware configurations are subject to change, to keep up with technology advances.

Space planning guidelines

When determining your space requirements and planning for shared space between your 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 printer

two feeder/stackers with bypass transport

6-14 Installation Planning Guide

• Recommended cable lengths and locations (refer to the “System connections” chapter of this guide for more information)

• Delivery access requirements

• Floor leveling

Clearance space requirements

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

NOTE: There must be a total of 50 inches / 126.9 cm of c learance space in front of the printer.

Shared space between component s

Printer requirements and speci fications

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 pri nter and the controller or 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 that are attached to your bypass transport may occupy shared space with Xerox equipment. However, they must be removable to allow servicing of the printer feeders and stackers. Consult with your Xerox representative to ensure all the requirements are met.

Shared space configuration diagrams

The following figures illustrate three possible configurations of shared space.

The following figure shows the two printe rs f acing eac h othe r. The printers share 26 inches / 30.5 cm of the general se rvice space, but not the exclusive operator area in fron t of each printer. Therefore, the printers should be separated by 24 inches / 61 cm, plus 24 inches / 61 cm, plus 26 inches / 30.5 cm. This allows for the entire operator spa ce fo r each printe r, plus the shared general service area of 26 inches / 30.5 cm.

Floor leveling

6-18 Installation Planning Guide

Figure 6-13 Face-to-back shared space

1. Operat or area

2. Printer

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 measur ed at t he caster s with the printer tilting from lef t to right, or appr oximately 0.7 inches / 1.8 cm with the printer tilting from back to fr ont.

If you move the printer after its initial installation, it is your responsibility to make sure that the pr inter can be leveled properl y . 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.

Delivery access requirements

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?

Printer requirements and speci fications

• Do you have an elevator, if the equipment is to be located above or below 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 speci fied e arli er i n thi s 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.

To use the tables:

1. Measure the minimum width of the passage or doorway you need to use. This is Passage 1.

2. Find that number (or the next higher number) in the turning radius table and read across to the correspondi ng minimum value for Passage 2, depending on the type of turn the equipment must negotiate.

The printing system is delivered with the printer, inverter feeder/ stacker, and each feeder/stacker as separate modules. If necessary , the printe r can be sep arated in to two pieces fo r ease in moving. The larger of the two parts contains the xerographic system; the smaller of the parts (the paper handling module, or PHM) contains paper trays 1 and 2. Do not confuse these two parts of the printer with the inverter and feeder/stacker modules, which have their own turning requirements.

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,

Printer requirements and speci fications

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; ea ch 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 indi cate 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 you r site, including the following:

• Clearance space requirements

• Cable length

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

When determining your space requirements, remember to consider all of the components you plan to have installed. If you have a bypass transport or input enablement device option on your printing system, you should co ntact the sal es representat ives for the company from which you purchased your fini shers and feeders, as well as your Xerox representative, to ensure that all of your space requirements are met.

Installation process

This chapter describes the activiti es performed by you and Xerox personnel during the installation of the Xerox DocuPrint 100/115/ 135/155/180 EPS hardware and software components. Before installation can begin, you must complete the tasks described in the “Preparing for installation” chapter of this guide.

Xerox personnel are responsible for the physical inst allation of the printing system hardware components and the software.

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

The installation process can t ake one or sev eral days to compl ete. Equipment, software kits, and documentation kits may 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 pr inter components.

In the United S tates, the steps in the ins tallation process typical ly occur in the following order:

1. Xerox personnel install all printer hardware and connects the controller to your site’s network through the Ethernet connector you supply. This process takes approximately four hours if all the necessary network and electri cal connectors are in place.

2. Xerox personnel load software on the controller (approximately 1.5 hours).

3. Xerox personnel download Xerox clien t software , if applic able, 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.

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

5. Xerox personnel conduct initial operations trai ning (four to six hours).

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

Installation

your host environment. You will need to provide these parameters to your Xerox representative on installation day.

When you purchase a Xerox DocuPrint 100/115/135/155/180 EPS, you receive a license to use the operating system sof twar e . This license is enabled by entering a 20-character alphanumeric string at the controller. Your Xerox or servi ce representative obtains this license string for you and enters it when your printing system is installe d.

After the installation of your printing system, 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 font s

• Ordering additional documentation

• Placing service calls for hardware problems

• Obtaining assistance in solving software-related problems

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

Routine maintenance

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 fuser agent

• Replacing the dry ink waste container

Installation Planning Guide 8- 3

• Cleaning sensors in the printer

• Cleaning the exterior surfaces of the system

Step-by-step instructions on performing these routine maintenance tasks are cont ained in the Operator Guide. You need to decide how many operators will be responsible fo r performing these maintenance tasks. Most maintenance procedures are

Installation

covered in the initial operator trai ning provided shortly after installation.

Meter reading and reporting

As print jobs are processed, the printing system accumulates, saves, and maintains usage data.

During the last five working days of each month, you need to review and transmit the data t o Xerox for bill ing purposes. Refer to your DocuPrint 100/115/135/155/180 EPS Operator Guide for complete instructions on how to report meter readings.

A Supplies

This appendix provides information and specifications for media used with your Xerox DocuPrint 100/115/135/155/180 EPS printer. Instructions for or dering 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 prop er selection, care, and handling of the stock used.

Selecting paper

Acceptable paper

stocks and sizes

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 spe cif icati ons set f orth by Xer ox for operability in the printer. For additional information about paper specifications, refer to Helpful Facts about Paper, delivered w ith your printer.

The printer accepts the following standard size cut-sheet papers:

Installation Planning Guide A-1

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 lat e r in this appendix.)

Supplies

Use paper within these par ameters:

• Lightest: 16-pound (65 gsm) bond

• Heaviest: 110-pound (200 gsm) index

Characteristics The paper stock should have the foll owing 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:

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 tr ays (trays 1 and 2) for lab els. 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 pr inted on all paper trays.

Load transparencies with the op aque 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 materi al, separating special sections, or dividing chapters of a report.

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

A-2 Installation Planni ng Guide

• Predrilled paper: Has a varying number of holes for use in binders or binder rings. Before loading predr illed 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

• Pre-cut or full tabs

• Carbonless paper

NOTE: The printer can print on precollated or ordered stocks, including ordered tabs. However, jam recovery is not supported with these stocks.

Paper sizing and print speed

The printer paper trays have edge gui de sensors that det ect paper length and width. The system select s correct paper trays for the print job based on the paper size speci fied in the job, as follows:

• If an exact match is found, the print job continues.

• If an exact match is not found, the programmer can specify in the job for the printer to eith er:

– Stop prin ting the job and print an error sheet – Print the data on an oversized sheet.

If you encounter any problems related to pa per sizing, contact your lead operator, systems specialist, or service representative.

Paper width and throughput speed (LCDS printing only)

The width of the paper you use for your LCDS print job is directly related to the rate at which the printer can print the job. The rate at which a job prints is called the “thr oughput speed” and is measured in pages per minute (ppm).

NOTE: “Pages per minute” actually means “impressions per minute,” referring to one side of a printed sheet.

A pitch is the amount time the printer takes to image a p age on the photoreceptor belt. The term “pitch mode” refers to the number of pitches that can occur during one complete photoreceptor revolution. The pitch mode in which a specific job prints is based on the paper size used for that job.

The following tables list the pitch mode boundary values, paper widths, and relat ed printing speeds for the system. Notice that the shorter the paper width, the higher the pitch mode and the faster the throughput speed (higher page per minute rate).

Each time a job requires a different paper size that changes across a pitch boundary, the system performs a time-consuming xerographic quality adjustment. When the printing speed of an LCDS job appears to degrade due to the use of mixed stock s izes, you may be able to improve the speed by using the LCDS OUTPUT command TMODE parameter in the JSL to run the pr int job in a lower pitch mode. Refer to the OUTPUT TMODE parameter in Using LCDS Print Description Language for information on using this LCDS command.

Similarly, if the system cycles down frequently because your external finishing equipment has a slower th roughput rat e than the printing system, you can use the TMODE parameter of the LCDS OUTPUT command to lower the pitch mode to match the speed of the finishing equipment. This can improve overall throughput by avoiding time-consuming cycle downs.

Paper size and pitch mode minimum and maximum

The illustrations in this section show the pi tch modes i n whic h you can operate with the smallest and largest size papers supported by the printing system.

Printing in 8 pitch mode provides the highest throughput speed available —up to 154 ppm for the DP135 printer and up to 206 ppm for the DP180 printer . (The DP100 print er does not support 8pitch 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 in width 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.

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

Using large paper

sizes in 3 pitch

mode

Large paper sizes with 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. Therefore, a short edge feed job takes longer to print than a long edge feed job.

NOTE: The system can support 14 by 17 inch / 356 by 432 mm, 20 pound or 80 gsm paper stock in 3 pitch mode. However, printing performance is not guaranteed for all ty pes of paper of this size. Heavy (110 pound / 200 gsm) and light (16 pound / 60 gsm) weight papers can cause jams thr oughout the s ystem, and ar e not recommended.

Feed direction for standard paper sizes

Currently, 14.33 inches / 364 mm is the maximum paper length for which the system supports long edge feeding (5 to 8 pitch mode). Any papers with long edges greater than this (such as 11 by 17 inch / 279 by 432 mm paper) must be loaded for short edge feeding (3 or 4 pitch mode).

Paper care

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.

• Stor e paper on a flat surface and not on its side or edge.

• Store reams of paper in a closed cabinet.

Installation Planning Guide A-9

• 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.
