1. 1System overview
This chapter introduces the DocuPrint 4050 IPS and the DocuPrint 4090 IPS printing systems. It describes the systems hardware and software components, features, functions, and modes of operation.
Functional overview of the DocuPrint IPS
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 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 4050/4090 IPS Installation Planning Guide.

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 4050 and 4090 IPS are monochrome printers. Print jobs that contain color commands are printed in black.

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

SYSTEM OVERVIEW
IPDS data stream
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:

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.

4050/4090 IPS hardware features
The 4050 and 4090 IPS provide numerous features that can be enabled or configured using the graphical user interface on the printer controller.
Multiple input trays
Two addressable input trays are standard with the printing system. Two additional feeder trays are available as options. These trays can be used to configure print jobs in the most effective manner. For example, the trays can be used to provide nonstop printing of a complex job that requires multiple paper stocks, or only a few paper stocks, but using the continuous loading capability of the input trays. A different tray can also be selected for each copy of a specific page in a print job; for example, to provide different paper colors for specific pages.
Feeder tray capacities, based on 20-pound or 80 gsm (grams per square meter) bond, are:
Tray 1: 1000 sheets
SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Advanced paper handling
Tray 2: 500 sheets
High-capacity feeder trays (3 and 4): 1000 sheets each.
The DocuPrint 4050/4090 IPS can handle paper stocks ranging in size from 8.5 by 11 inches / 216 by 279 mm to 8.5 by 14 inches / 216 by 356 mm, including A4, and in weight from 20-pound or 80 gsm bond to 110-pound / 200 gsm index. Jobs can also be printed on special stocks such as labels and transparencies.
The printer engine monitors the print job so that, should a paper jam occur, the job resumes on the correct page, providing complete document integrity.
XEROX DOCUPRINT 4050/4090 IPS SYSTEM OVERVIEW GUIDE 1-5
SYSTEM OVERVIEW
300 dpi resolution
Multiple output trays/bins
The DocuPrint 4050/4090 IPS provides high print quality at 300 dpi resolution. It can receive data at 240 or 300 dpi; The controller coverts 240 data to 300.
Caution: The DocuPrint 4050/4090 IPS must be configured to the same font resolution as the host input data stream (refer to your
Xerox DocuPrint 4050/4090 IPS Guide to Configuring and Managing the System for instructions on configuring for the correct input
resolution). Conflicts between the input font resolution and the IPS configuration could result in inability to print the job, or in missing variable data in the output.
Better print quality is usually achieved if you convert all 240 dpi and 300 dpi fonts and other resources to 300 dpi before printing, rather than leaving the conversion for the controller to do. However, you should always run test prints to validate your particular application.
Your 4050/4090 IPS is available with one of two stacker types: a dual stacker, with two output trays, or a stitcher/stacker which can offset and/or place a wire stitch in sets of up to 50 sheets.
Output tray capacities, based on 20-pound or 80 gsm stock:
Dual stacker trays 1 and 2: 720 sheets each
Stitcher/stacker: 2000 sheets.
Note: The equivalent grams per square meter of 20-pound paper is actually 75 gsm. However, there is no standard 75 gsm paper the available stock that is closest in weight to 20-pound paper is 80 gsm.

User interface
SYSTEM OVERVIEW
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.
Figure 1-3. IPS main window
XEROX DOCUPRINT 4050/4090 IPS SYSTEM OVERVIEW GUIDE 1-7
SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Software features
Mixed paper sizes within a job
The following special IPS software features increase system flexibility.
Note: Additional features are as follows:
Enhanced N-Up (For information, refer to Dash 11.)
Trace facility enhancements (For information, refer to Dash 11.)
Remote diagnostics (For information, refer to the section “Sixth
Sense Technology in this chapter.)
Background color for OCA colors (For information, refer to Dash
11.)
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.
Note: Paper size and printer trays cannot be changed while the job is running.
Note: Mixed paper sizes are not supported for stitching. If your system has a stitcher/stacker, the printer cycles down if it detects any specification for stitching different sized papers.

Tray selection capabilities
Output tray With the output bin selection capability you can select a different
SYSTEM OVERVIEW
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.
output bin group for each print job. This selection requires two steps:
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
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.
XEROX DOCUPRINT 4050/4090 IPS SYSTEM OVERVIEW GUIDE 1-9
SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Mixed plex
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 4050/4090 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
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.
1-10 XEROX DOCUPRINT 4050/4090 IPS SYSTEM OVERVIEW GUIDE
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 4050/4090 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.
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 jobs page origin to be rotated 90 continuous form jobs on cut-sheet paper.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW
o
to accommodate printing
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.
Note: When using double-byte fonts, the font loading time will increase if a font change occurs between reports.
XEROX DOCUPRINT 4050/4090 IPS SYSTEM OVERVIEW GUIDE 1-11
SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Outline font support
Printer resident font support
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 4050/4090 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.
1-12 XEROX DOCUPRINT 4050/4090 IPS SYSTEM OVERVIEW GUIDE
PCI Bus support
Access control by privilege mode
SYSTEM OVERVIEW
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
Software license
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 4050/4090 IPS Guide to Configuring and Managing the System for details on this functionality.
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 4050/4090 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 4050/4090 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.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW
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

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.

PRINTER CONTROLLER
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 4050/4090 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 4050/4090 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.

A. APaper and other supplies
This appendix provides information and specifications for the media you use with your Xerox DocuPrint 4050 or 4090 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 your System Overview Guide and to Helpful Facts about Paper, both delivered with your printer.
Acceptable paper stocks and sizes Your 4050 or 4090 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 in this appendix.
Use paper within these parameters:
Lightest: 20-pound or 80 gsm bond
Heaviest: 110-pound or 200-gsm index.
XEROX DOCUPRINT 4050/4090 IPS SYSTEM OVERVIEW GUIDE A-1
PAPER AND OTHER SUPPLIES
Characteristics The paper stock should have the following characteristics:
Low moisture content (a paper-to-moisture ratio below 5.7
percent). Paper with higher moisture content may curl and jam.
Smooth surface
Moisture-resistant wrapping
No defects (bent edges, uneven surfaces)
Grain long (parallel with the long side of paper).
Paper is usually fed into the printer with the long side as the leading edge. When you purchase paper, buy long-grain paper. Make sure the grain is parallel with the long side (long-grain) for the most reliable feeding and stacking.
Special stocks Following are some guidelines for choosing and using special
materials:
Labels — Must be the type designed for high-speed printers
and must meet the specifications described in the section above. Loading instructions are printed on all paper trays.
Load labels with the label side up. You can direct them to any output tray.
Transparencies Must be the type designed for high-speed
printers and must meet the specifications described in the section above. Loading instructions are printed on all paper trays.
Load transparencies with the opaque strip to the right. All printed transparencies are delivered to the sample tray.
As long as they meet your printer’s paper specifications, you can also use:
Tinted paper Available in a variety of colors, it has many
uses, including calling attention to certain printed material, separating special sections, or dividing chapters of a report.
Preprinted paper — May be letterhead, forms, or logos.
Predrilled paper — Has a varying number of holes for use in
binders or binder rings. Before loading predrilled paper, fan it to remove loose plugs that could cause paper jams. Load predrilled paper in the printer with holes to the right.
Perforated paper
A-2 XEROX DOCUPRINT 4050/4090 IPS 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 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.

Other supplies
Dry ink
Fuser lubricant
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 45,000 pages. Use only dry ink that is specified for use in the 4050 or 4090 printer, as described in the consumable supplies table.
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
Diskettes
Cartridge tapes
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 4050 or 4090 printer.
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.

Ordering supplies
To avoid unnecessary downtime, always have an adequate amount of the necessary supplies. To do this, you need to establish a procedure for checking and ordering supplies. A supplies checklist is provided at the end of this appendix to help you with this task. It lists the supplies needed for the printer and contains a column for you to enter the date when you want to place the order and a column to record the date of the actual order. The consumable supplies table, above, contains a list of Xerox supplies available for the printer.
It is important that you check your supplies regularly and order before you run out. Plan on approximately five working days for delivery after placing the order. You can make arrangements to receive them sooner in emergency situations.
