The NPS/IPS ca n process network PDL and IPDS jobs concurrently.

To support the submission of jo bs from a variety of hosts, configuration possibilities include:

• The same T ok en Ring or Ethernet connection can be used for both IPDS and Postscript/PCL.

• 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 attach ment thro ugh the channe l interface can be used for IPDS jobs from a channel-attached host; T ok en Ring or Ethernet connection can be used for jobs submitted over the network.

NPS/IPS concurrent printing

The Xerox NPS/IPS can receive a variety of data streams including IPDS, PostScript Levels 1 and 2, PCL 5c, PCL 5e, TIFF, and ASCII. The system automatically senses the type of job and processes it appropriately.

When your system is printing IPDS jobs, it can accept network PDL data streams in the background. When network PDL jobs are printing, only one IPDS job can be queued.

Document Feeding and Finishing Architecture (DFA)

The Document Feeding and Finishing Architectu re (DFA) on the NPS/IPS supports all third-party finishing devices currently validated for the LCDS (J11) printers (DFA is not supported on the 4850). The bypass transport option is required for in-line finishing devices .

SNMP support

The system provides functionality to export the state of a printer using the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), thus allowing printer management software to monitor and report on

the printer state. SNMP is a standardized communications protocol for managing

arbitrary networked devices from different vendors, such as workstations, servers, printers, or routers. The information to be communicated is presented as variable name/value pairs, defined in a set of standardized management information bases (MIBs). The MIBs define the legal variables, their types, and possibly a fixed set of values.

SNMP was designed to facilitate managing a heterogeneous set of networked devices that communicate using TCP/IP. Specifically, it addressed management of the network itself and the network traffic betw een th ose devices. Over time, MIBs were defined to expand the types of devices that could be managed using SNMP. For example, MIBs were defined specific to managing a wor kstation or a printer.

The system currently supports variables defined in the following MIBs:

• MIB-II (RFC 1156) This MIB defines the basic set of variables any device

running TCP/IP should make accessible . It includes, for a particular device, variables for information such as a system description, information about each of the network interfaces present on the device, and information abou t all the IP datagrams sent and received by the device.

System overview

System Overview Guide 1-5

• Host Resources MIB (RFC 1514) This MIB defines variables useful in managing a “host”

system. In this context, a host is a computer that is directly used by human beings and that communicates with other similar computers attached through a network. The Host Resources MIB includes information such as how long the system has been up, descriptions of the processors and attached storage devices, and possibly information about software running on the host.

• Printer MIB (RFC 1759) This MIB defines information useful in managing a printer. It

includes information about the physical status of the printer, such as the number of input trays, the media loaded in them, and the numbe r and types of marking en gines inclu ded in the printer.

Most variab les in these MIBs a re supported in a standard w ay, as described in the standard documentation, except that writing to read/write variables is not supported. All variables are treated as read-only. In all cases, the NPS/IPS SNMP implementation supplies textual information only in English.

IPP support

The system supports the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP), which allows you to:

• Add the printer to your PC directly as an Internet printer with a URL, rather than indirectly as an lpr-connected local printer.

• Use an IPP client to access the printer. A limited subset of IPP operations is supported; query the IPP client for details.

Sixth Sense

Sixth Sense is a unique suite of diagnostic tools that allows Xerox customer service engineers, analysts, and consultants to serve customers more effectively.

System overview

1-6 System Overview Guide

Sixth Sense is intended to automate and expedite the range of service-related support functions. Sixth Sense is a tool that enables Xerox to provide benchmark service support. Xerox customers benefit from the ability to bring broader support to focus more quickly.

For example, Sixth Sense can allow the Service Representative to repeatedly "preview" the condition of the system prior to an actual site visit. This may provide the ability to determine the correct part or piece of information to have on hand when the site visit is made.

Sixth Sense is a no-charge feature available to customers through Xerox Service. The customer need only provide an analog phone li ne for use by t he Sixth Sense modem connec tion. For those cust omers una bl e to dedicate a ph one line to th e Sixth Sense connection, three and five port phone share devices are available for purchase.

To take advantage of Sixth Sense, the customer needs to:

• Request Sixth Sense enablement through Xerox Service

• Provide an analog phone line

• If necessary, purchase an optional phone share device.

More information abou t the Sixth Sen s e can be found in the Troubleshooting Guide for your system.

Software license

In order to use the operating system software, the owner must obtain a software license from Xerox. The license, which is a 20character text string, is entered at the printer controller.

Your Xerox service representative can obtain this license text string for you and enter it when the printer is installed or when the software is upgraded. Although your service representative usually does this f or you, y ou are ab le to ente r yo ur license string yourself from the NPS/IPS main window.

Until the license string is entered, your printer cannot print or receive data. You can, however , perform all offline tasks, such as setting up virtual printers.

For details on obtaining and entering the license string, refer to the Guide to Configuring and Managing the System.

How highlight color is created

A document with highlight color contains one color plus black. The color ma y be printed either as a solid col or or combin ed wit h black. The NPS/IPS prints the highlight color by printing small dots in a single pass with near-perfect registration. The following methods are used to create various tints, shades and tones:

• Tints of black or the highlight color are created by printing dots of black or color with white space between them, thus producing a percentage value of the color. An example of this is gray or pink.

• Shades are created by printing black dots next to dots of the highlight color. An example of this is dark red.

• Tones are created by printing a combination of black dots, color dots, and blank space. The result is a percentage value of black and the highlight color. Dark red is made by mixing dots of red and black. Gray-pink is made by mixing red dots, black dots and some blank spa ce.

• The patterns of dots are known as screens. Screens are defined in the printer controller software as a matrix of bits, which correspond to printed dots. The screen defines which dots in the matrix are black, which are highlight color, and which are not printed.

How to convert full color to highlight color

The NPS/IPS provides a selection of black dry ink and ten color dry inks:

1. Red

2. Green

3. Blue

4. Cyan

5. Magenta

6. Cardinal (red)

7. Royal (blue)

8. Ruby

9. Violet

10.Brown.

System overview

1-8 System Overview Guide

When the NPS/IP S receives a full-color document, the printer software matches t he colors as closely a s possible . If y ou specify a color in your document that the NPS/IPS cannot print, it is printed either as a shade of gray or as an equivalent tone of highlight color.

To control color conversion in your document, you can use the map color option, also called “extraction color.” The map color option is used to specify which color in the full color document you want to print using the highlight color. Colors you do not specify in the map color option print as shades of gray.

You can make the map color diff er fr om the highl ight color so that red parts of a document are printed as green, or blue portions are printed as red, and so forth.

The highlight color rendering algorithm enables you to specify the qualities of a document that are the most important to preserve. The highlight rendering attributes allow you to distinguish between different colors, use preset color tables, apply pictorial mapping for pictures, and apply presentation mapping for other objects.

NOTE: To determine the RGB values of a specified highlight color , vie w the system o ptions. When the Pictorial highlight colo r rendering algorithm is used, the specified RGB value saturates on the page. When the presentation algorithm is used, the RGB value does not saturate on the page.

Color substitution

If the print document calls for a color that is not installed in the printer, the printer controller acts according to the current color substitution parameters.

The options for color substitution with the color mismatch action are:

• Abort: Dele tes the job.

• UseLoadedColor: Uses the dry ink that is currently loaded on the printer.

• RequestOperatorIntervention: Causes a job to be ineligible for printing until the highlight color is changed.

You can specify these color substitution options at a client workstation when sub mitting a job to the p rinter, or by specifying the HightlightColorMismatchAction attribute in a virtual printer.

System Overview Guide 2-1

2. Printer controller overview

The printer controller manages print options, provides the user interface, and runs system management and diagnostic operations on demand. The following is an explanation of tasks that enable the job to be printed:

• The printer controller detects which job protocol is being sent.

• Print option parameters are stored in the Job Pool Manager (JPM) database, which maintains a database of all jobs. This database contains a reference to the print data on the fixed disk, as well as the print optio ns paramete rs for the prin t data. The JPM responds to the printer controller commands for deleting, hol ding, and prioritizing jobs.

• Print data is stored on the printer controller disk for queuing and while printing.

• When the printer controller begins processing a job, it sends the print data to the decomposer. The decomposer converts the print data into a bitmap in the resolution appropriate to the printing device.

The decomposer utilizes font data from font files stored on the printer c ontroller disk or font information sent to the printer controller with the print job.

• When processed da ta come s back from the decomposer, the printer controller Device Driver transmits the print data and print option parameters to the printer. Printing is then initiated.

• After the job has been printed successfully, the print data file is deleted from the disk. If an error inhibits job completion, the printer controller manages the recovery and completion of the job.

The system can manage the processing of multiple jobs and the printing of another job simultaneously. When you are printing IPDS jobs, the printer controller is able to queue multiple PostScript and PCL jobs at the same time. When you are printing PostScript and PCL jobs, you can send only one IPDS job.

Bypass transport (4850 and 4890 only)

The optional bypass transport enables individual printed sheets of paper to pass through the NPS/IPS output tray to third-party finishing devices. These devices perform a variety of finis hing tasks, such as saddle-stitching, binding, folding, stapling, trimming, and stacking.

The bypass transp ort fits into tra y 1 of t he NPS/IP S dual stacker. Printed pages flow from left to right (when viewed from the front of the printer). The printed pages travel through the NPS/IPS output module and bypass transport, out of the paper exit slot, and into the finishing device. For paper up to 14 i nche s l on g, th e maximum delivery rate is 92 sheets per minute.

Software, firmware, hardware, and paper requirements

The optional bypass transport requires the following:

• Dual stacker output module

• Standard white, colored, predrilled, or preprinted paper. To minimize paper jams and misfeeds, use 20 pound or 80 gsm (grams per square meter) bond xerographic grade. Xerox 4024 Dual Purpose Paper and Xerox 10 Series Dual Purpose paper are optimal. Use paper with less than 6% moisture content so that the paper will not curl and jam.

NOTE: The time between sheets e xiting th e byp ass transpo rt for

8.5 by 11-inch / 216 by 279 mm paper, A4 paper, and 8.5 by 14-

inch / 216 by 352 mm paper is 492 milliseconds in simplex mode and 1052 milliseconds in duplex mode. All times are measured between the trail edge of the exiting sheet and the lead edge of the next entering sheet.

Operator tasks for the bypass transport

To use the bypass transport and third-party finishing devices, you must perform several tasks:

• Install and remove the bypass transport .

• Set up DFA personality profiles to provide the NPS/IPS with information about ea ch fin ishi ng device.

• Prepare the finishing de vice ha rdware ne cessary to finish the printed output and inform the NPS/IPS of device names and parameters.

• Enter appropriate commands at the printer controller to initiate finisher jobs.

• Clear paper jams in the bypass transport.

You learn how to install and remove the bypass transport and clear jams in the operator training that is provided by Xerox following installation of the bypass transport.

In addition, you must know how to prepare the third-party finishing device to process printed ou tput. Obtain this inf ormation from your third-party supplier.

3-13 System Overv iew Guide

Profiles for third-party finishing devices

When a bypass transport is connected to the NPS/IPS, you can add any number of third- pa rty finishing de vi ce s.

Figure 3-9. Third-party finishing device configuration

1. Paper path

2. Bypass transport

3. Third-party finishing devices

Each third-party device is identified by a specific personality profile. The personality profile contains information about the options available with the finishing device (for example, a booklet-making device that can produce both side-stitched and saddle-stitched booklets). It also specifies timing requirements, constraints, flags, and other parameters.

You can create severa l pe rso na lity pr ofi les that correspond to different configurations of the finishing device. Refer to your Guide to Configuring and Managing the System for information on creating personality profiles.

Mechanical interfac e

To connect a third-party finishing device to the NPS/IPS bypass transport, you align the finishing device with the paper exit slot of the bypass tran sport, dock the finishing device, and establish an electrical interface between the two.

Connecting the bypass transport to third-party finishing devices involves the following:

Printer components and options

3-14 System Overv iew Guide

• Alignment: Your finishing device align at the correct height without interference from protruding features. To accomplish this, you must consider the feature locations and the vertical alignment.

• Paper exit: The finishing device must align with this e xit slot. Printed sheets travel through the printer output module and bypass transport, out of the paper exit, and into the finishing device . The pap er e xit sl ot is 16. 75 inches ( 425.45 mm) wide .

• Module mobility: Your finishing device must be easy to move so that you can align it precisely.

The following figure illustrates the alignment and docking locations for the bypass transport on the printer (the bypass transport support is not shown).

Electrical connection

The printer automatically detects the presence of the bypass transport and third-party finishing device s when it is po w ered up. The system also begins monitoring the interloc ks (physical links) between the bypass transport and the finishing device. It then starts interface communications.

After a sheet of paper passes through the bypass transport to the external finishing device, the printer loses all record of it. Communications between the printe r with bypass transport and the finishing device consist of command and status signals.

Command signals NPS/IPS can send three command signals to third-party

finishing devices:

• Cycle up: The printer is powered up and signals the finishing device to power up

• Sheet exit: A sheet of paper has entered the finishing device

• End of set: The last sheet of a print job set has been sent

Status signals The third-party finishing device can send five status signals to

the NPS/IPS:

• Sheet delivered: A sheet of paper has been successfully delivered to the finis hing device.

• Set delivered: A print job set has been successfully delivered to the finis hing device.

• Offline: The finishing device has no power or is not connected to the NPS/IPS.

• Full: The finishing device is full and cann ot accept mo re sheets.

• Faulted: The finishing device is jamm ed or f a ulted and is not ready to accept sheets of paper

Paper paths

The paper path is the route that stocks (paper, transparencies, labels, and so o n) f oll ow throug h the printer from the f e eder tr a ys to the output trays.

The figure belo w illust ra tes the simp lex (one-sided output) paper path of a printer with a dual stacker tray and a standard feeder tray. The materials move from either f eeder tr ay 1 or f eeder tr ay 2 and are stacked in either stacker tray 1, stacker tray 2, or the sample tray, depending on your selection at the beginning of the job.

3-17 System Overv iew Guide

The following figure illustrates the duplex (two-sided output) paper path of a printer wit h a dual stac k er and a standa rd f e eder. Materials may originate in either feeder tray 1 or feeder tray 2. The duplex paper tray receives the materials before they go through a second time to receive the second image. As the pages move through for the second image, they follow the simplex path . The pages are then stac k ed i n either stac k er tr a y 1 or stack er tra y 2, dep ending on y our selectio n at the beginn ing of the job.

4. Network printing environment

The NPS/IPS system su pports the person al comp ut er (PC) , Sun workstation, DEC workstation, HP/Apollo, IBM RS/6000 and Apple Macintosh. It accepts PostScr ipt levels 1 and 2, PCL 5, TIFF, and ASCII output.

Client workstations and system software

To send print jobs to the printer, the customer needs to provide the proper client hardware, operating system, and network

software. Print data originates at the client workstation, mainframe or

minicomputer. This is where a user creates and formats documents according to specifications with the help of application software. The printer supports the following types of networked client workstations and operating systems:

• Sun workstation running a Sun or Linux operating system

• PC running MS-DOS 6.2 and Microsoft Windows 95, 98, NT,

4.0, 2000, and ME using Ethernet with TCP/IP or Novell NetWare 3.11 and 3.12.

NOTE: Customers using Novell 4.1 must set the “Bindery Emulation Mode” to be backwards compatible with Novell 3.11 and 3.12.

• IBM RS/6000 running IBM AIX, version 4.1

• HP/Apollo running HP-UX, version 10.01

• DECStation 5000/200 running DEC Ultrix, version 4.3

• Apple Macintosh, System 7, 7.5, or 8.x, using AppleTalk through EtherTalk, phase 1 or 2

• Any system that supports RFC-1179 lpr/lpd.

The software may be compatible with workstation models and software versions other than those listed above.

Network printi ng environment

4-2 System Overview Guide

Client software

On your PC or workstation, you must install or set up a supported means of submitting jobs to the printer. Depending on your system, you can use the following:

• Xerox drivers for Windows 3.x, 95/98, or NT/2000

• Xerox Document Submission Software for DOS, Windows

3.x, 95/98, NT/2000, or Macintosh

• Third-party dr ivers – Some PostScript drivers can be used in conjunction with

Xerox-supplied PPD files – HP Color LaserJet for PCL 5c jobs – HP LaserJet 4 fo r monochrome jobs

• Third-party TCP/IP lpd utility

• Apple/Macintosh Printer Access Protocol (PAP)

NOTE: The printing options vary according to the network software that is loaded on the client workstation.

Submitting print jobs

There are basically two ways you can submit print jobs: You can send print data directl y fro m the ap pl i cati on to the printer; or y o u can create a PDL data file on the workstation and then send the data file to the printer. The method you choose depends on the workstation configuration and the job submission requirements.

Sending the print data directly from the application to the printer is accomplished with a Xerox print driver or a third-party driver. This method is sometimes referred to as “transparent printing.” It may not support all available print options, such as number of copies, simplex or duplex printing, and stitching.

The other way to submit print jobs to the printer is by creating a PDL data file. After the file is created, the user closes the document and submits the job using one of the following methods:

• lpr command: Provides opt ions fo r submitting prin t jobs. The functionality of the lpr command is dependent on the TCP/IP software installed on the workstation.

Network printing enviro nm en t

System Overview Guide 4-3

• Xerox Client Software: Provides a print command for submitting jobs and s pecifyi ng print op tions . Th e fun ction ality of the print command is dependent on the TCP/IP software installed on the workstation.

• Xerox DocuPrint Document Submission Client software for the Macintosh: Provides a graphical user interface for submitting jobs and specifying print options.

• Xero x DocuPrint Print Submis sion software f or Windo ws

3.x, Windows 95/98, Windows NT, and Windows 2000: Provides graphical user interfaces for submitting jobs a nd specifying print options.

• Internet Printing Protocol for Windows 2000: Allows job submission over the Internet.

In many cases, the workstation can be set up for more than one method of job submission.

The application software provides the capability to print the document using a page description language (PDL). The application produces print data in one of the supported page description language formats, for example PostScript level 2.

Communicating with the network

After the print data has be en pr epar ed for printing and combined with print options data—eithe r by the application soft ware or by a print job submission u tility—t he prin t jo b is sent o ver the network.

The printer supports TCP/IP, AppleTalk, and Novell NetWare network communic ations protocols.

Client workstations require a network software utility that submits the job using the appropriate network protocol. This software must be installed an d running for jobs to be submitted successfully to the printer . Once this software is installed, its operation is transparent to the user.

The Macintosh uses Printer Access Protocol (PAP) to communicate with one or more DocuPrint printers. For convenience, your internet may be divided into zones. A zone can be any logical group i ng of individual workstations and printers. Your ne twork administrator defines your zone when setting up the network.

NOTE: There is no minimum host operating system software level required. The minimum PSF level needed to support full color is v.3.2.

IPDS printing environment

5-2 System Overview Guide

The NPS/IPS can be set up to receive data from the IBM host in one of two ways:

• Through a bus and tag channel connection.

NOTE: If your system will be channel-attached, the printer controller requires an additional component—either a channel interface board and channel cable connector box, or a Host Channel Unit (HCU) that serves as an interface between the IBM host and the printer controller.

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

NOTE: Your system supports only one other connectivity option in addition to Ethernet. For example, Ethernet and channel connection or Ethernet and Token Ring.

NOTE: A transmission ra te of at least 16 megabits per second should be used with a Token Ring interface. (Overall performance depends on network traffic and job density.)

Software features for IPDS

This section describes some of the software features for IPDS printing.

IOCA Replicate and Trim

The printer 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 resolutionindependent.)

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.

Tr ace 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 “Using utility commands” chapter in the Guide to Configuring and Managing the System.

Overstrike, underscore, subscript, and superscript

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

IPDS printing environm ent

System Overview Guide 5-7

Color image support

Some IM1 images (for example, logos) can be converted to IOCA for resolution corre ction. The bi-le v el IOCA f eature ena bles such IM1 images to be printed in color on the highlight-color printer. PSF does not strip the color information from the print job.

Also supported are JPEG compressed IOCA, as well as JPEG and EPS files in object containers.

NOTE: Hosts may not support JPEG files in object containers.

Background color for OCA colors

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

Bi-level IOCA colors

The printer accepts the new IOCA color spaces in the extended controls (ref erred to as the “4E” col or trip lets) . Th ese in cl ude th e Highlight Color and Standard OCA Color.

Outline font support

The printer su ppor ts the use of IBM outline fonts for both singlebyte and double-byte applications. These fonts must be downloaded during the jobs.

These outline fonts allow users to specify a single font that can be rasterized in a variety of point sizes by the printer. The IBM outline f onts ar e based on Adob e type 1 and type 0 f on ts that a re in Post Script format.

A. Supplies

This appendix provides information and specifications for the media you use with your Xerox DocuPrint 4850/4890/92C NPS/ IPS printer. Instru ctions 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 4850/4890/92C printer accepts the following standard size cut-sheet papers:

• US Letter: 8.5 by 11 inches / 216 by 279 mm

• US Legal: 8.5 by 14 inches / 216 by 356 mm

• A4: 8.27 by 11.69 inches / 210 by 297 mm

Recommended

weight and grade

Use a good quality, xerographic-grade paper. For best results, use paper that is 20-pound or 80 gsm (grams per square meter) bond, xerographic grade. Xerox 4024 Dual Purpose Paper provides optimal performance in the printer. Refer to the consumable supplies table, later in this appendix.

Use paper within these parameters:

• Lightest: 20-pound or 80 gsm bond

• Heaviest: 110-pound or 200 gsm index.

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 (ben t edges, une ven 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 i s par a llel w ith t he lon g side (lon ggrain) 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:

Supplies

System Overview Guide A-3

• Tinted paper: Available in a variety of colors, it has many uses, including calling attention to certain pr inted 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 hole s 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 i n the printer with holes to the right.

• Perf orat ed pa per

Paper care

Once you have purchased your paper , you must be sure it is stored and conditioned properly, so th at 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. T o 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.

The length of time you should condition your paper depends on the amount of pap er a nd the dif f er ence bet ween the stor age a nd operating temp eratures.

Use the foll owing ch art 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.

Example: (See the shaded rows in the table above.) If you want to move ten cartons of paper from a storage area with a

temperature of 90

A-6 System Overview Guide

Dry ink

Dry ink (also called toner) is the powder which forms the image on the printed page. There are six cartridges of black dry ink or three cartridges of colored dry ink in each carton. You should keep at least one extra cartridge on hand at all times. The disposable cartridges are easily changed with no mess. The consumption rate of Xero x dry ink is appr o ximat ely one cartridge per 30,000 pages for black dry ink an d 86,500 pages for colored dry ink. Use only dry ink that is specified for use in the DocuPrint 4850/4890 printer, as described in the consumable supplies table.

NOTE: Dry ink (toner) yields are based on 5% area co ve rage f or black dry ink and 1.5% area coverage for colored dry ink. Your yield may vary, depending on coverage.

Fuser lubricant

Fuser lubricant is a co nsuma b le item requ ired b y the printer. You should keep at least two boxes 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

Developer is not consumed by the printer but does have an effective life of approximately 300,000 pages per bottle, guaranteed by Xerox. Deve loper is a required item and must be kept on hand.

Use only the developer specified for use in your 4850/4890/92C printer.

For colored inks, use the color developer specified for each color in the following table:

System Overview Guide A-7

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

Stitcher wire

Stitcher wire is a consumable item for a printer equipped with the stitcher/stacker option. You need to order stitcher wire reels and keep them on hand. They are installed by the service representative or operators who have completed the Advanced Customer Training (ACT) or eXcellerate courses offered by Xerox.

Diskettes

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.

Tapes

The optional 4 mm cartridge tape drive uses 5 GB or 8 GB tapes . The 1/4-inch QIC tape drive uses quarter-inch stream cartridge

tapes. The tape da ta capacity should be 320/525 MB. Ta pe density is critical. The QIC drive can read low density tapes, but to write reliably requires tape with 21,000 Flux Transitions Per Inch (FTPI). The FTPI figure is usually listed on the cartridge.

Fonts

Data can be printed on DocuPrint printers in many sizes and type styles called fonts. A font is a character set which has unique characteristics, such as type style, size, weight, orientation (portrait, landscape, inverse portrait, and inverse landscape), character spacing (fixed and proportional), line spacing, and postures (Roma n, it al ic, and so forth).

There are three classifications of fonts:

• Standard fonts

• Licensed fonts

• Custom fonts.

Standard fonts A library of 51 fonts is provided with your pr inter’s operating

system software.

Licensed fonts Additional fonts may be ordered from your local Xerox Font

Center.

Custom fonts Custom fonts and graphic images such as company logos and

signatures can be digitized by the Xerox Font Center for use on your printer.

Receiving fonts Fonts are received on a diskette fro m your local Xerox Font

Center.
