Laser safety

Warning: Adjustments, use of controls, or performance of

procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous light exposure.

The Xerox DocuPrint printers are certified to comply with the performance standards of the U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare for Class 1 laser products. Class 1 laser products do not emit hazardous radiation. The DocuPrint printers do not emit hazardous radiation because the laser beam is completely enclosed during all modes of customer operation.

The laser danger labels on the system are for Xerox service representatives and are on or near panels or shields that must be removed with a tool. DO NOT REMOVE LABELED PANELS OR

PANELS NEAR LABELS. ONLY XEROX SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES HAVE ACCESS TO THESE PANELS.

Ozone information

Operation safety

This product produces ozone during normal operation. The amount of ozone produced depends on copy volume. Ozone is heavier than air. The environmental parameters specified in the Xerox installation instructions ensure that concentration levels are within safe limits. If you need additional information concerning ozone, call 1-800-8286571 to request the Xerox publication 600P83222, OZONE.

Your Xerox equipment and supplies have been designed and tested to meet strict safety requirements. They have been approved by safety agencies, and they comply with environmental standards. Please observe the following precautions to ensure your continued safety.

• Always connect equipment to a properly grounded electrical

outlet. If in doubt, have the outlet checked by a qualified electrician.

Warning: Improper connection of the equipment grounding

conductor may result in risk of electrical shock.

XEROX DOCUPRINT NPS GUIDE TO CONFIGURING AND MANAGING THE SYSTEM iii

• Never use a ground adapter plug to connect equipment to an

electrical outlet that lacks a ground connection terminal.

• Always place equipment on a solid support surface with

adequate strength for its weight.

• Always use materials and supplies specifically designed for

your Xerox equipment. Use of unsuitable materials may result in poor performance and may create a hazardous situation.

• Never move either the printer or the Printer Controller without

first contacting Xerox for approval.

• Never attempt any maintenance that is not specifically

described in this documentation.

• Never remove any covers or guards that are fastened with

screws. There are no operator-serviceable areas within these covers.

• Never override electrical or mechanical interlocks.

• Never use supplies or cleaning materials for other than their

intended purposes. Keep all materials out of the reach of children.

• Never operate the equipment if you notice unusual noises or

odors. Disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet and call service to correct the problem.

If you need any additional safety information concerning the equipment or materials Xerox supplies, call Xerox Product Safety at the following toll-free number in the United States:

1-800-828-6571

For customers outside the United States, contact your local Xerox operating company.

About this guide

Introduction

This Xerox DocuPrint Network Printer Series Guide to Configuring and Managing the System provides information on how to perform

system administration tasks for the DocuPrint NPS.

This guide is intended for system administrators who are responsible for setting up and maintaining DocuPrint NPS printers.

Users should have an understanding of Printer Controller operations and, for some tasks, be familiar with basic UNIX commands.

Some of the procedures described in this guide may be performed by the printer operator. For more information on printer operator tasks, refer to Xerox DocuPrint Network Printer Series Guide to Managing Print Jobs and the other documents in the Xerox DocuPrint Network Printer Series.

Contents

Before using this guide, become familiar with its contents and conventions.

This section lists the contents of this guide:

• Chapter 1, “Using the system interface,” describes how to

access the system at the administrator and operator levels and outlines how to enter commands at the Printer Controller.

• Chapter 2, “Using utility commands,” describes the use of a

number of utilities such as backup and restore site files, Configure, and other useful commands.

• Chapter 3, “Starting and stopping the system,” describes how

to power on and off the system, and how to start and stop job processing, the sequencer, and the system.

• Chapter 4, “DocuPrint NPS on a Novell network,” contains a

brief overview of Novell NetWare, and describes some of the things you must consider before the service representative installs DocuPrint NPS on a Novell network.

• Chapter 5, “Setting system defaults,” provides information on

how to set system defaults.

XEROX DOCUPRINT NPS GUIDE TO CONFIGURING AND MANAGING THE SYSTEM xi

• Chapter 6, “Input and Output profiles,” describes commands

used for DocuPrint NPS configured with third party input and output devices.

• Chapter 7, “Setting the Printer Controller date and time,”

describes how to set the time on the Printer Controller.

INTRODUCTION

Conventions

• Chapter 8, “Checking system status and displaying billing

meters,” describes how to check status and billing meters.

• Chapter 9, “Managing accounting files and logs,” provides

information on how to manage DocuPrint accounting and log files.

• Chapter 10, “Managing fonts,” provides the procedures used to

install and maintain fonts on the Printer Controller.

• Chapter 11, “Managing forms,” describes how to print a list and

a sample of forms.

• Chapter 12, “Using Wizard Mode or UNIX shell,” provides

guidelines for working in the DocuPrint Wizard mode and UNIX shell, including some useful procedures performed in UNIX.

• Chapter 13, “Handling XDOD DigiPath jobs,” describes how to

install NFS and how to handle problems that may occur with print jobs submitted from the XDOD client.

• Chapter 14, “MICR printing”, provides a discussion of MICR

issues for the DocuPrint MICR NPS printers.

This guide uses the following conventions:

• All caps and angle brackets—Within procedures, the names of

keys are shown in all caps within angle brackets (for example, press <RETURN>).

• Angle brackets—Variable information, or the position of a

specified argument in the command syntax, appears in angle brackets (for example, List Fonts <Pattern>).

• Bold—Within procedures, text and numbers that you enter are

shown in bold (for example, enter privilege operator).

• “Enter”—Within procedures, the two-step process of keying in

data and pressing <RETURN> or <ENTER> (for example, enter y).

• Italics—Document and library names are shown in italics (for

example, the Xerox DocuPrint Network Printer Series Guide to Configuring and Managing the System).

• Quotes—Keywords you can enter as arguments appear in

quotes (for example, “USLetter”).

• Vertical bars—Alternatives to specified arguments are

separated by vertical bars (for example, Set Time <Time | Remote Host Name | IP Address>).

Note: Notes are hints that help you perform a task or understand the text.
