1. 1System overview
This chapter introduces the DocuPrint 92C IPS printing system. It
describes the system’s hardware and software components,
features, functions, and modes of operation.
Functional overview of the DocuPrint IPS
The DocuPrint 92C IPS prints high quality documents in simplex or
duplex mode in monochrome or in black plus one highlight color.
DocuPrint IPS printers support:
• Duplex printing
• Media of multiple weights, sizes, and types
• Optional modules for enhanced finishing and output to third-
party finishing devices
• Optional high-capacity feeder for additional feeder trays.
• Printing in various shades and tints of a highlight color plus
black.
The IPS emulates an IBM AFP Group 3 page printer with the
Advanced Function Image and Graphics (AFIG) option. The IPS 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.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Major system components
Printer Controller The Printer Controller accepts IPDS data from the host, processes
Graphical user interface The full-color graphical user interface (GUI) provides an easy-to-use,
The IPS has the following main components, each of which is
described in greater detail in later chapters of this guide:
the data, and sends it to the printer using the IPS operating system
for IPDS or the NPS operating system for PostScript or PCL.
The Printer Controller provides the printer with print data and
commands and receives status information from the printer.
Host Channel Unit: On channel-attached systems, the Printer
Controller has an additional component called the Host Channel Unit,
or HCU. The HCU contains the channel communications board, and
handles communication between PSF and the controller when data
is received over a bus and tag connection.
mouse-driven interface to the IPS. Using the windows on the GUI
screen, you can configure your system; perform diagnostic and
administrative tasks; and set up, change, and implement system
options, and run print jobs.
Throughput speed
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 DocuPrint 92C IPS can print up to 92 impressions per minute,
using stocks 8.5 by 11 inches / 216 by 279 mm to 8.5 by 14 inches /
216 by 356 mm.

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:
• IM Image IMD1
• FOCA: Font Object Content Architecture
• MO:DCA-P: Mixed Object Document Content Architecture for
Presentation
• PTOCA PT1, PT2, and PT3: Presentation Text Object Content
Architecture
• IOCA: Image Object Content Architecture
• GOCA: Graphics Object Content Architecture
• BCOCA: Bar code Object Content Architecture
• OL1: Overlay One
• PS1: Page Segment One
Dual Mode
• Line mode data streams
Each of the data objects follow the same object rule of containing
delimiting fields with structured fields describing each object.
Xerox DocuPrint Dual Mode option enables both DocuPrint NPS and
IPS systems to coexist on the same Printer Controller (Sun
workstation). This allows the DocuPrint system to receive data
streams supported by NPS and IPS, including IPDS, PostScript
Levels 1 and 2, HP PCL5c, HP PCL5e, and ASCII.
Either of the following types of configurations may be used:
• The same Token Ring or Ethernet connection can be used for
both IPDS (IPS) and Postscript/PCL (NPS).
• Both a Token Ring card and an Ethernet card can reside in the
Sun workstation controller, with one being used for IPDS and
the other for PostScript/PCL.
• Bus and tag attachment through the HCU can be used for
IPDS, and Token Ring or Ethernet connection for the NPS.
When the DocuPrint system is in IPS mode, it can accept PostScript
and PCL data streams in the background; however, it can print these
jobs only after it is switched to NPS mode. However, when the
system is in NPS mode, it cannot accept IPDS data streams in the
background.
1-4 XEROX DOCUPRINT 92C IPS SYSTEM OVERVIEW GUIDE
DocuPrint 92C IPS hardware features
The 92C IPS provides numerous features that can be enabled or
configured using the graphical user interface on the printer controller.
Highlight color
The DocuPrint 92C IPS can print in one highlight color plus black.
These inks are available for adding color to documents: red, green,
blue, cyan, magenta, brown, cardinal, royal, ruby, and violet.
When a colored ink is installed in the IPS, you can combine black and
the additional color under software control to:
• Create darker shades by mixing black and a color
• Create lighter tints by letting the white of the paper show
through between the black or colored dots.
Multiple input trays
SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Advanced paper handling
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
• Tray 2: 500 sheets
• High-capacity feeder trays (3 and 4): 1000 sheets each.
The DocuPrint 92C IPS can handle paper stocks ranging in size from
8 by 10 inches / 203 by 254 mm to 8.5 by 14 inches / 216 by 356 mm,
including A4, and in weight from 20-pound or 80 gsm bond to 110pound / 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 92C IPS SYSTEM OVERVIEW GUIDE 1-5
SYSTEM OVERVIEW
600 dpi resolution
Multiple output trays/bins
The DocuPrint 92C IPS provides high print quality at 600 dpi
resolution. It can receive data at 240, 300, or 600 dpi; The controller
coverts 240 and 300 data to 600.
Caution: The DocuPrint 92C IPS must be configured to the same
font resolution as the host input data stream (refer to your Xerox
DocuPrint 92C 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 or 600 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 DocuPrint 92C IPS is available with one of two stacker types: a
dual stacker, with two output trays, or a stitcher/stacker, which can
place a wire stitch in sets of up to 50 sheets.
Output tray capacities, based on 20-pound or 80 gsm bond, are:
• Dual stacker trays 1 and 2: 750 sheets each
• Stitcher/stacker: 2000 sheets.
1-6 XEROX DOCUPRINT 92C IPS SYSTEM OVERVIEW GUIDE
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. DocuPrint 92C IPS main window
XEROX DOCUPRINT 92C 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.
The IPS can print jobs that call for a mix of paper sizes, without
needing to interrupt or slow down printing.
An example of such an application would be a multi-page billing
statement consisting of:
• One or more 8 1/2 by 11-inch sheets itemizing charges, and
• A final 8 1/2 by 14-inch page containing the rest of the billing
items, the total amount due, and a tear-off section to mail back
with payment.
Note: When a print job calls for paper sizes that span over different
pitch modes, the software will either cycle down or run at a lower
pitch mode, based on the different pitch modes required, the paper
sizes called for, the speed of the printer, and the time it takes to shut
down the printer.
Tray selection capabilities
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.
You can select a different input tray or output bin for each job. You
can also select a different input tray for each page of a job.
Input tray With the input tray selection capability at the Copy Subgroup level,
you can select a different input tray for each copy of a page of a job.
You can use this capability to print each page of a multiple-part form
on a different color paper stock, or to print the cover of a job on a card
stock and to print specific pages within the job on a different color
stock.
To specify a different input tray for each job, use the BIN command
in the SUBGROUP level of the COPYGROUP in the FORMDEF.
1-8 XEROX DOCUPRINT 92C IPS SYSTEM OVERVIEW GUIDE
IOCA Replicate and Trim
SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Output tray With the output bin selection capability you can select a different
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.
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.
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 92C 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.
XEROX DOCUPRINT 92C IPS SYSTEM OVERVIEW GUIDE 1-9
SYSTEM OVERVIEW
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.
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 92C 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.
Document Feeding and Finishing Architecture (DFA)
The Document Feeding and Finishing Architecture (DFA) on the
DocuPrint 92C IPS supports all third-party finishing devices currently
validated for the LCDS (J11) printers (third-party feeding devices are
not supported on the DocuPrint 92C IPS). The bypass transport
option is required for in-line finishing devices and support of
ENDOFSET and ENDOFJOB (using the PSF MARKFORM or
FORMDEF JOG command). DFA also supports personality profiles,
which identify the unique characteristics of the attached finishing
devices (for example, the sheet timing and the status feedback
profiles).
1-10 XEROX DOCUPRINT 92C IPS SYSTEM OVERVIEW GUIDE
Page origin rotation for continuous form jobs
The 90-degree page origin rotation feature enables the IPS to print
jobs designed for continuous form printing, without the need to
rework an existing application. At the user interface, you can set a
job’s page origin to be rotated 90
continuous form jobs on cut-sheet paper.
Double-byte fonts
Double-byte fonts consist of characters that are larger and more
complex than the single-byte characters making up the Roman
alphabet. Therefore, each character of a double-byte font requires
two bytes to represent it. Some languages requiring double-byte
fonts include Chinese, Korean, and Japanese.
The IPS supports printing with certain double-byte fonts, which can
be used in combination with single-byte fonts.
The following double-byte character sets are supported:
• Simplified Chinese
• Traditional Chinese
• Japanese
• Korean
• Thai.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW
o
to accommodate printing
Outline font support
Note: When using double-byte fonts, the font loading time will
increase if a font change occurs between reports.
The IPS supports the use of IBM outline fonts for both single-byte 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.
XEROX DOCUPRINT 92C IPS SYSTEM OVERVIEW GUIDE 1-11
SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Printer resident font support
Processing options
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.
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

the System for details on these options.
Message translation
Configuration file processing
PCI Bus support
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.
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.
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.

Access control by privilege mode
Color image support
SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The IPS controls access to various functions based on four privilege
modes:
1. User
2. Operator
3. Administrator
4. Service.
Depending on the privilege mode set by the Customer Service
Engineer, users will have access to certain graphical user interface
(GUI) functions, while other functions will be grayed out. Refer to the
Xerox DocuPrint 92C IPS Guide to Configuring and Managing the
System for details on this functionality.
Some IM1 images (for example, logos) can be converted to IOCA for
resolution correction. The bi-level IOCA feature enables such IM1
images to be printed in color on the DocuPrint 92C IPS. PSF does
not strip the color information from the print job.
Background color for OCA colors
Bi-level IOCA colors
Users can specify COLOR on DRAWBOX (i.e., background color) as
long as the color is restricted to colors defined with the OCA model.
The IPS accepts the new IOCA color spaces in the extended controls
(referred to as the “4E” color triplets). These include the Highlight
Color and Standard OCA Color.
XEROX DOCUPRINT 92C IPS SYSTEM OVERVIEW GUIDE 1-13
SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Highlight color samples
Color samples for each available highlight color are stored on the
Printer Controller in the /var/db directory. You can print out these
samples using the “Executing trace files” procedure described in your
Xerox DocuPrint 92C IPS Guide to Configuring and Managing the
System. The following color samples are provided:
• Blue
• Brown
• Cardinal
• Cyan
• Green
• Magenta
• Red
• Royal (dark blue)
• Ruby
• Violet.
In addition, a set of printed color samples is provided (in a different
form) in appendix A of the Xerox DocuPrint 92C IPS System
Overview Guide.
Software license
Note: The printed colors in these samples may differ slightly from
the actual color your IPS prints.
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 92C 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 92C IPS Guide to
Configuring and Managing the System.
Note: If your system will be operating in Dual Mode, it requires two
license strings: one for IPS and one for NPS.

Remote service (Sixth Sense Technology)
Sixth Sense Technology is a user-friendly suite of tools that allow
service personnel to connect with a customer system and evaluate
its performance while the system is being used. The Customer
Service Engineer (CSE) can troubleshoot problems remotely,
transfer, apply, and remove patches remotely, and, if an on-site call
is required, arrive with the solution to fix the problem.
Customer benefits of using this technology include:
• Diagnostic help and identification of required parts before the
service visit
• Planned visits based on known problems and/or replacement of
wear-out items
• Customer self-maintenance to provide faxed replacement
change reminder to trained operators.
Using the Sixth Sense Technology, CSEs can access your system’s
diagnostic data remotely using a regular telephone line almost as if
they were at the Printer Controller (SPARCstation).
For security reasons, the customer maintains control of the modem
connection, and may leave the modem disconnected. Also, the
customer provides a password for access to the Sixth Sense
Technology via the modem.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW
For information on enabling and disabling of the Sixth Sense
Technology, refer to the chapter “Calling for Service” in your Xerox

2. 2Printer Controller
This chapter describes the DocuPrint IPS Printer Controller (also
called the system controller). It includes a list of component
hardware, software, and fonts, and discusses the key elements of
software operation.
Components of the Printer Controller
The Printer Controller enables you to use proprietary Xerox IPS
hardware, firmware, and software to control the printer. It has the
following major hardware components:
• Sun UltraSPARC workstation. The Sun workstation has a
high-performance RISC processor chipset, based on the
industry-standard Scalable Processor Architecture (SPARC)
and a high-capacity hard disk drive. It contains the following
components:
— Processor
– Hard disk
– Diskette drive
– CD-ROM drive
– Connectivity boards for Ethernet and, optionally, Token
Ring
— Monitor
— Keyboard
— Mouse
• Host Channel Unit (HCU) (Channel-attached systems only).
The HCU contains the channel communications board. This is
used only when printing data received over a channel via a bus
and tag connection.
Note: Some elements and components of the Printer Controller are
accessible only by a service representative; for example, the
diagnostics for the Sun workstation processor.
Note: Printer controller hardware configurations are subject to
upgrade.
XEROX DOCUPRINT 92C IPS SYSTEM OVERVIEW GUIDE 2-1

Processor
The processor is the central processing unit (CPU) of the Sun
workstation. It contains a power switch, a hard drive, a diskette drive,
a CD-ROM drive, a power receptacle and outlet, connectors, and
ports.
A Data Control Interface Module (DCIM2) card for the Sun Ultra 2, or
a PCIM2 card for the Sun Ultra 60 is installed in the processor, to
which the printer cable is connected. In addition, the processor
contains the connectivity boards for Ethernet and, optionally, Token
Ring.
Hard disk
One addressable, high-speed, high-capacity hard disk is provided.
The hard disk stores the operating system, the IPS application, and
any buffered pages. Do not use the hard disk to store other
applications or data except as directed by your service
representative.
XEROX DOCUPRINT 92C 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 92C 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.

CCU changeout cart The cart is used to remove and install the customer changeable unit
(CCU). The CCU consists of the color developer housing and the dry
ink bottle. Because the CCU is heavy, you will need the cart to make
the changeout.
The carts also serve as storage devices for the CCUs that are not
currently in use. For example, if you use both the red and blue dry
inks in your operation, one CCU is always out of the machine in
storage on the cart while the other CCU is installed.
Figure 4-7. Customer changeable unit (CCU) on cart
Note: You should have a cart for each CCU, so that one cart is
always empty and available to remove the CCU that is installed in the
system. However, if your printer will only be used to print one color
(that is, the CCU will never be removed), or if there is more than one
DocuPrint 92C IPS in operation at your site, it may not be necessary
to have one cart per CCU. Consult your site representative for more

Overview
5. 5Bypass transport
The optional bypass transport enables individual printed sheets of
paper to pass through the DocuPrint 92C IPS output tray to thirdparty finishing devices. These devices perform a variety of finishing
tasks, such as saddle-stitching, binding, folding, stapling, trimming,
and stacking.
The bypass transport fits into tray 1 of the DocuPrint 92C IPS dual
stacker. Printed pages flow from left to right (when viewed from the
front of the printer). The printed pages travel through the IPS output
module and bypass transport, out of the paper exit slot, and into the
finishing device. For paper up to 14 inches long, the maximum
delivery rate is 92 sheets per minute.

XEROX DOCUPRINT 92C IPS SYSTEM OVERVIEW GUIDE 5-1
BYPASS TRANSPORT
Software, firmware, hardware, and paper requirements
The optional bypass transport requires the following:
• Document Feeding and Finishing Architecture (DFA) software
loaded on the IPS, provided by Xerox or the local operating
company. (Note that DFA runs on IPS software version 4.5 and
higher.)
• 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 exiting the bypass transport 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.

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.
With your IPS finishing enhancements, you can make any necessary
hardware modifications to the third-party finishing device.
You can create several personality profiles that correspond to
different configurations of the finishing device. Refer to your Xerox

• Install and remove the bypass transport
• Set up DFA personality profiles to provide the IPS with
information about the finishing device
• Prepare the finishing device hardware necessary to finish the
printed output and inform the IPS of device names and
parameters
• Enter appropriate commands at the Printer Controller to initiate
finisher jobs
• Clear paper jams.
You learn how to install and remove the bypass transport and clear
jams in the Xerox-provided operator training that follows installation
of the bypass transport. In addition, you must know how to prepare
the third-party finishing device to process printed output.

Mechanical interface
BYPASS TRANSPORT
To connect a third-party finishing device to the IPS bypass transport,
you align the finishing device with the paper exit slot of the bypass
transport, dock the finishing device, and establish an electrical
interface between the two.
The mechanical interface of the bypass transport with third-party
finishing devices involves the following:
• Alignment — You must consider the feature locations and the
vertical alignment. Your finishing device must be capable of
aligning at the correct height without interference from
protruding features.
• Paper exit — Printed sheets travel through the IPS output
module and bypass transport, out of the paper exit, and into the
finishing device. The paper exit slot is 16.75 inches (425.45
mm) wide. The finishing device must align with this exit slot.
• 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).

BYPASS TRANSPORT
Electrical connection
Command signals The IPS can send three command signals to third-party finishing
The printer automatically detects the presence of the bypass
transport and third-party finishing devices when it is powered up. The
system also begins monitoring the interlocks (physical links) between
the bypass transport and the finishing device and starts finishing
device 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 IPS with bypass transport and the
finishing device consist of command and status signals.
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
IPS:
• Sheet delivered — A sheet of paper has been successfully
delivered to the finishing device
• Set delivered — A print job set has been successfully delivered
to the finishing device
• Offline — The finishing device has no power or is not
connected to the IPS
• Full — The finishing device is full and cannot accept more
sheets
• Faulted — The finishing device is jammed or faulted and is not
ready to accept sheets of paper

How highlight color is created
6. 6Highlight color
This chapter explains the concept of highlight color and discusses
the process by which the IPS uses extraction color to add the desired
colors to a document.
A document with highlight color contains one color plus black. The
color may be printed either as a solid color or combined with black.
To create tints and shades, the DocuPrint 92C prints dots of black
and dots of color very close together. Our eyes mix the dots visually
to produce a wide range of color. DocuPrint prints the black and color
dots in a single pass, ensuring near-perfect registration.
• Tints of black or the highlight color are created by printing dots
of black or color with white space between them, producing a
percentage value of the color, for example, gray or pink.
• Shades are created by printing black dots next to dots of the
highlight color, producing, for example, a 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 such as a dark red made by mixing dots
of red and black, or a gray-pink made by mixing dots of red and
black dots with some blank space as well.
These 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.
XEROX DOCUPRINT 92C IPS SYSTEM OVERVIEW GUIDE 6-1
HIGHLIGHT COLOR
How highlight color is specified
Extraction color
You specify color in application software. The DocuPrint provides a
selection of ten colors and black.
If you specify a color in your document that DocuPrint cannot print, it
is printed either as a shade of gray or as an equivalent tone of the
highlight color installed in the printer at the time.
The “extraction color” is the color you select from the Extraction
Color window on the IPS user interface. This selection determines
how the solid-color, shaded, and tinted areas specified in the job sent
from the host will actually appear when printed by the IPS.
Figure 6-1. Extraction Color window
Exact Color Only: If you click this option to enable it, the job is
printed in solid black and one solid highlight color—the extraction
color identified on this screen. No shades or tints are printed. Colors
other than the extraction color are printed in solid black.
The IPDS data stream allows eight colors to be specified in a job:
1. Red
2. Green
3. Blue
4. Cyan
5. Magenta
6. Yellow
7. Brown
8. Black.
6-2 XEROX DOCUPRINT 92C IPS SYSTEM OVERVIEW GUIDE
HIGHLIGHT COLOR
However, the DocuPrint 92C IPS has available a different set of ten
colored inks that can be selected for loading in the printer, plus black:
1. Red
2. Green
3. Blue
4. Cyan
5. Magenta
6. Cardinal (red)
7. Royal (blue)
8. Ruby
9. Violet
10. Brown.
Therefore, a job may specify a color for which the DocuPrint 92C IPS
does not have corresponding ink; or you may wish to print the job in
an ink different from what is specified.
When the DocuPrint 92C IPS receives a highlight color job, it prints
in whatever color of ink is loaded in the printer, using one solid color
and a variety of shades and tints. The Extraction Color window
enables you to specify how the IPDS color(s) specified in the job will
map to the shades, tints, and solid of the ink in the printer.
Note: Solid black is not affected by the extraction color selection; if
specified in the job, it always prints as solid black.
XEROX DOCUPRINT 92C IPS SYSTEM OVERVIEW GUIDE 6-3
HIGHLIGHT COLOR
Extraction color menu On the Extraction Color window, you can access the color pull-down
menu to select an IPDS color. The selected color represents the
predetermined print job areas that are to be printed in a solid color.
This selected color is the extraction color.
Figure 6-2. Extraction color menu
In addition to the eight IPDS colors, you have the following two
options on this menu:
• Executive Black: The entire job is printed in black, with no
highlight color.
• Printer Color: The color of the ink currently loaded in the
printer will be the extraction color.
If the incoming IPDS data requires other colors in addition to the
chosen extraction highlight color, the DocuPrint 92C IPS translates
these other colors into variations of the installed printer housing
color.
6-4 XEROX DOCUPRINT 92C IPS SYSTEM OVERVIEW GUIDE
Guidelines for selecting the extraction color
Consider the following guidelines for printing highlight color and
selecting an extraction color.
• If multiple colors are specified in the incoming job, you must
decide which of those colors you want to print in the solid color
areas. Select this as the extraction color. The IPS can print only
one solid color; therefore, all saturated areas containing colors
other than the one you picked as your extraction color will print
in shades and tints of the ink in the printer.
Example: Your document contains solid areas of red, green,
and yellow. You have green ink in the printer. You decide you
want all the solid yellow areas in the job to print in solid color.
You must specify yellow on the Extraction Color window. When
the document prints, all yellow areas will appear as solid green.
All other colored areas—red and green—will appear as shades
and tints of green.
• If the job contains only one highlight color and you want to print
the colored areas exactly as the job specifies, make sure the
job color, the Extraction Color window selection, and the ink in
the printer are the same.
Example: Your job specifies certain areas to print in solid blue.
To print those areas in solid blue, you must select blue from the
Extraction Color window, and the ink loaded in the printer must
be blue.
HIGHLIGHT COLOR
• If the job specifies only one highlight color and you want to
ensure that the solid color areas specified in the job remain as
solid color of whatever color ink is loaded in the printer, select
the same extraction color from the Extraction Color window as
is specified in the job.
Example: You have red ink loaded in the printer. The job calls
for green. You must select green from the Extraction Color
menu. When your job prints, all solid-colored areas appear as
solid red (all shaded or tinted areas appear as different shades
or tints of red).
• If your extraction color selection does not match the job-
specified solid color, the areas specified as solid color in the job
print as shades or tints of the ink in the printer. Refer to
appendix A in this guide to see approximately how these
shades and tints will appear in your printed document.
Color samples Appendix A of this guide contains samples (palettes) showing how all
the possible combinations of printer ink, job-specified color, and
selected extraction color will appear when printed in all the inks
available for the DocuPrint 92C IPS.
Caution: The illustrations in appendix A are approximations of how
these colors will print. Printed output can vary in color from printer to
printer, and the colors in your printed documents may appear slightly
different from those shown in this guide. To ensure results that are
satisfactory to you, print some test pages from your job with the
desired extraction color selected.

A. APaper and other supplies
This appendix provides information and specifications for the media
you use with your Xerox DocuPrint Model 92C printer. Instructions for
ordering supplies are also provided.
Consumable supplies (those that are depleted during operation of
the system), such as paper, dry ink, developer, fuser agent, etc.,
must be ordered for your printer. It is important that an adequate
supply of these items be on hand for installation, and that your supply
be maintained afterwards.
Paper and other throughput stocks
The success of any print run is greatly dependent on the proper
selection, care, and handling of the stock used.
Selecting paper
You need to select your paper carefully. If you do not use the proper
paper, you increase the probability of paper jams and misfeeds. The
stocks you use must meet the specifications set forth by Xerox for
operability in the printer. For additional information about paper
specifications, refer to Helpful Facts about Paper, delivered with your
printer.
Acceptable paper stocks and sizes Your DocuPrint Model 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.
XEROX DOCUPRINT 92C 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 92C 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.

storage
printer, you need to condition paper before using it. To do this, store
paper for a specified length of time in the same type of environment
as your printer.
The length of time you should condition your paper depends on the
amount of paper and the difference between the storage and
operating temperatures.

PAPER AND OTHER SUPPLIES
Other supplies
Dry ink
This section describes the supplies other than paper that are
necessary for installation and afterward. Your sales representative
will help you place your initial supply order.
Dry ink (also called toner) is the 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 Xerox dry
ink is approximately one cartridge per 30,000 pages for black dry ink
and 86,500 pages for colored dry ink. Use only dry ink that is
specified for use in the DocuPrint Model 92C printer, as described in
the consumable supplies table.
Note: Dry ink (toner) yields are based on 5% area coverage for
black dry ink and 1.5% area coverage for colored dry ink. Your yield
may vary, depending on coverage.
Fuser lubricant
Developer
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 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 DocuPrint Model
92C printer.
For colored inks, use the color developer specified for each color in
the table below:

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
Tap es
Fonts
Diskettes are optional items that provide loading and backup of fonts,
forms, and user files to and from the printing system. The processor
accepts 3.5-inch, 1.44 MB, double-sided, high density diskettes.
The optional 4 mm cartridge tape drive uses 5 GB or 8 GB tapes.
The 1/4-inch QIC tape drive uses quarter-inch stream cartridge
tapes. The tape data capacity should be 320/525 MB. Tape 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.
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 (Roman,
italic, and so forth).
There are three classifications of fonts:
• Standard fonts
• Licensed fonts
• Custom fonts.

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.
Your Xerox sales representative can help you submit the initial order
of supplies needed for installation. These items include paper, dry
ink, fuser lubricant, and developer.
Once your printer volume is established, planning ahead and buying
Xerox supplies in quantity can save you money. Your Xerox supply
specialists can help you. There are two centers available to assist
you:
• To order Xerox paper, transparencies, labels, dry ink, developer,
fuser lubricant, stitcher wire, cartridge tapes, and diskettes, call
the Xerox Supply Center at 1-800-822-2200, weekdays
between 7:30 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., Pacific time.
If you prefer, you may mail orders to the following address:

B. BExtraction color samples
This appendix contains sample pages for each of the colored inks
available for printing on your DocuPrint 92C IPS: red, green, blue,
cyan, magenta, brown, cardinal, royal, ruby, and violet.
Each of these pages shows approximately how one of the colored
inks will print with each of the eight IPDS colors:
1. Black
2. Red
3. Green
4. Blue
5. Cyan
6. Magenta
7. Yellow
8. Brown.
Note: The illustrations in appendix A are approximations of how
these colors will print. Printed output can vary in color from printer to
printer, and the colors in your printed documents may appear slightly
different from those shown in this guide. To ensure results that are
satisfactory to you, print some test pages from your job with the
desired extraction color selected.
Additional information For an explanation of highlight color printing on the IPS and the
selection of extraction colors, refer to the “Highlight color” chapter in
this guide, and to “Selecting the extraction color” section in your
Xerox DocuPrint 92C IPS Guide to Configuring and Managing the
System, provided with your IPS.
For guidelines for selecting, adding, and using highlight color in your
applications, refer to Designing for Highlight Color, also provided with
your IPS.
