The entire DocuPrint NPS/IPS system includes the printer (also
known as an IOT or print engine), printer controller, printer
interface, and all appropriate software. “DocuPrint printer” or
“printer” refers to the base printer engine (IOT) only, without the
printer controller and interface.
Xerox-supplied
printer controller
The printer controller includes a processor, DVD-ROM (or CD-
ROM) drive, diskette drive, keyboard, mouse, and a monitor. The
printer controller accepts the print job from the client workstation
or host, converts the files into page images, and sends the page
images to the printer. The user interface at the printer controller
allows you to perform tasks such as monitoring job status,
prioritizing jobs, and configuring the system.
Xerox-supplied
printer interface
The printer interface cables provide high-speed data transport
and communication between the printer controller and the
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 optional paper stacking and collating.
Connectivity configurations
The NPS/IPS can process network PDL and IPDS jobs
concurrently.
To support the submission of jobs from a variety of hosts,
configuration possibilities include:
•
The same Token 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.
Installation Planning Guide
•
Bus and tag attachment through the channel interface board
or through the Host Channel Unit (HCU) can be used for
IPDS jobs from a channel-attached host; Token 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 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.

IPDS environment
Host environments
The system emulates an IBM AFP Group 3 page printer with the
Advanced Function Image and Graphics (AFIG) option and can
print in all the following PSF environments:
•
MVS
Installation Planning Guide
•
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 InfoPrint Manager can
attach to a PSF/VSE system and the PSF/2, PSF/6000, or
InfoPrint Manager can furnish the TCP/IP support for the printer.
NOTE: There is no minimum host operating system software
level required. The minimum PSF level needed to support full
color is v.3.2.
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 rate of at least 16 megabits per
second should be used with a Token Ring interface. (Overall
performance depends on network traffic and job density.)

Users create their documents at the networked client PCs or
workstations using software applications that generate PDL
output. When ready to print, users submit the documents to the
printer controller.
Customer-
supplied network
The customer needs to supply one or more of the following
networks:
Installation Planning Guide
1-11
•
Ethernet local area network (LAN) running TCP/IP, AppleTalk,
or Novell NetWare network protocol.
•
Token Ring running TCP/IP, Novell, or AppleTalk network
protocol.
Networks
Both network client workstations and the IBM host can
communicate with the controller over a network.
Ethernet LAN
Users of networked client workstations may send print jobs to the
DocuPrint NPS/IPS printer over the Ethernet LAN using TCP/IP,
AppleTalk using EtherTalk Link Access Protocol (ELAP), or
Novell NetWare 3.1x as the network protocol.
Regardless of printing or transmission protocol, the Ethernet
connection to the printer controller must be
compatible with the Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers (IEEE) 802.3 standard.
Token Ring
Users of network client workstations may send print jobs to the
printer over Token Ring network using TCP/IP, Novell 3.x, or
AppleTalk network protocol.
Regardless of printing transmission protocol, the Token Ring
connection to the printer controller must be compatible with the
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.5
standard.
Multiple network devices
Multiple network devices may be installed on the same controller.
The default network device that ships with your controller is a
100 Mbit Ethernet connection. You may install other network
devices by installing additional network cards, provided each
card has a unique network to which it connects. For example, if
you use a Token Ring network connection, you have the option of
using the default Ethernet device as a secondary network.
If you choose to install multiple network devices on your
controller, the following parameters apply:
Installation Planning Guide
•
You must select a primary network device and designate any
others as secondary. The primary network device does not
have to be the default Ethernet device that ships with your
controller; it can be any of the network devices installed.
•
You must run the TCP/IP protocol on the primary network
device. You may also run TCP/IP on other network devices.
For each network device running TCP/IP, you must specify a
unique IP address and IP netmask. For the primary network
device, you must specify the HostName and router IP
address. The HostName for any secondary devices is
created from the name chosen for the primary device.
NOTE: You may not use the controller as an IP router.
Consequently, the router IP address must be on the primary
network devices network only.
•
You may run the AppleTalk protocol on only one network
device. The network device on which AppleTalk is run does
not have to be the primary network device.
•
You may run Novell protocols on only the primary network
device.
Network client components
To send print jobs to the NPS/IPS printer, the customer needs to
provide the proper client hardware as well as operating system
and network software.
Supported client hardware and operating systems
Xerox NPS/IPS 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
Installation Planning Guide
1-13

EtherTalk, phase 1 or 2
•
Any system that supports RFC-1179 lpr/lpd
NPS/IPS software may be compatible with workstation models
and software versions other than those listed above.
Client networking software
TCP/IP networking software, Novell, or Apple Macintosh Printer
Access Protocol (PAP) networking software must be installed on
your client workstations. This software provides network
communuication with the printer controller, which allows you to
submit print jobs and check job status.
To submit jobs, you need a driver, a job submission client like
XDS or the Xerox client software, or lpr capability.
NOTE: The printing options available to a client user vary
according to the networking software loaded on the client
workstation.
For additional information on submitting jobs from a client
workstation, refer to the Guide to Submitting Jobs from the
Client.
Responsibilities
It is your responsibility to supply, install, and maintain hardware
and software on any PC, Unix workstation, or Macintosh system
used to generate documents for printing on the DocuPrint
printers. You are also responsible for obtaining, installing, and
maintaining the required Ethernet LAN or Token Ring network,
transceivers, cables, and connectors.
Xerox is responsible for the physical installation and service of
the printer and printer controller hardware and software
components. You have the general responsibility for the site of
ensuring that the right personnel, supplies, and that network
hardware and software is available. Refer to the “Preparing for
installation” chapter of this guide for a detailed description of the
shared responsibilities of the customer and of Xerox.
Installation Planning Guide
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.
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 line for use by the Sixth Sense modem connection.
For those customers unable to dedicate a phone line to the 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 about the Sixth Sense can be found in the
Troubleshooting Guide for your system.

allows for proper collation of the print job. It directs printed output
to the sample tray, when required. It also directs output to
optional third-party finishing devices in the proper orientation.
High-capacity
feeder
There is a high-capacity feeder (HCF) tray located in the bottom
half of each feeder/stacker module (trays 3, 4, 5 and 6,
depending on the number of feeder/stacker modules installed).
Each HCF tray can hold up to 2600 sheets of 20 pound or 80
gsm paper.
Printer components and options
3-4
Installation Planning Guide
NOTE: When configured, each HCF tray can handle paper sized
from 7 by 10 inches / 178 by 254 mm to 17 by 14.33 inches / 432
by 364 mm. To feed papers smaller than 8 inches / 203.2 mm, an
optional 7 by 10 inch enablement kit must be installed. 17-inch/
432 mm paper can be fed only short edge first.
An elevator moves the tray up or down when it is in use. The
HCF trays have Paper Level switches which detect the position of
the elevator to determine the fullness of the tray. Paper Size
switches detect the size of the paper loaded in the trays.
High-capacity
stacker
The 4635 and 180 NPS/IPS printers can contain up to four high-
capacity stacker (HCS) bins as part of the feeder/stacker
modules (stacker bins A, B, C and D). The 96 NPS/IPS printer
can contain up to two high-capacity stacker (HCS) bins as part of
the feeder/stacker modules (stacker bins A and B).
Figure 3-3. High-capacity stackers
Each HCS can hold 2500 sheets of 20 pound or 80 gsm paper
stacked on the bin platform.
NOTE: For large paper sizes such as 11 by 17 inches or A3,
there is a stack limit of about 1500 sheets. This limit is needed to
keep the total weight of the stack within safe limits for unloading
and lifting.
A stacking elevator maintains the paper at the proper level for
stacking and lowers the stack for unloading. There is an offset
mechanism that offsets printed sets toward the front or back of
the HCS bin. Each HCS bin has unlinked double doors to provide
you with easy, yet safe, access for unloading paper from the
printer.

The Sample button on the 180, 4635, or 96 printer duplicates
one of the sheets in the paper path and delivers it to the sample
tray. This sheet can be used to check quality and alignment while
printing. The button is disabled for MICR printers.
Sample tray
The sample tray located on top of the printer holds up to 100
sheets of paper. It receives output such as transparencies,
sample prints or system files, and waste sheets that cannot be
sent to the purge tray.
Printer console
The printer console is the color monitor located on top of the
printer. It contains message areas and graphic displays that alert
you to paper jams and other fault conditions, such as low toner.
The printer console also contains buttons that allow you to
control certain functions of the printer, such as continuing an
interrupted job, without returning to the printer controller.
The printer console has the following features:
•
Local controls and displays for jam clearance, paper loading/
unloading, and diagnostics/service (used by the service
representative). Two types of messages are displayed on the
printer console: fault messages, which relate to printer
malfunctions, and information messages, which relate to
printer conditions such as low dry ink.
•
Touch-sensitive areas that allow you to select options by
touching the printer console screen. A tone sounds when you
touch one of these areas.
•
Printer alarm consisting of three beeps, repeated for ten
seconds. The alarm is generated by any event that stops the
printer.
The alarm stops after three cycles or as soon as you start to
clear the fault condition (for example, when you open doors or
covers specified in the clearance instructions). You can stop the
alarm by pressing one of the printer console buttons or by
selecting a function through the touch screen.

NPS/IPS network installation checklist
The DocuPrint NPS/IPS system is installed and configured by
your service representative. The service representative needs
certain information about your network environment to complete
the DocuPrint printer controller software installation. Use the
“Network preinstallation checklist” table in this chapter to gather
the necessary information for the installation.
Some of the items in the checklist may not apply to your
environment. Fill in those items that you know may apply, and
refer to your network administrator for information, if necessary.
NOTE: If you are installing the DocuPrint NPS/IPS in a Novell
NetWare environment, refer to this chapter and your Novell
network NPS/IPS administrator to assist you in completing the
checklist in the “Network preinstallation checklist” table.
The information you may need to provide is defined as follows:
Hostname
A unique name that designates a node on the network. You may
use up to 32 characters: upper and lower case alpha (a-z and A-
Z), integers (0-9), and hyphens (-). The name you choose may
be the same as the printer name.
IP address
Series of four integers between 0 and 255 separated by a period,
such as 192.9.200.1, to create an IP address for the DocuPrint
system. (Do not use all zeros or designate 255 for all integers
when assigning an IP address.)
•
You must assign a unique, valid IP address for each TCP/IP
network to which the NPS/IPS is attached.
NOTE: To avoid routing problems that will slow down the
controller, the IP addresses you assign must belong on
different TCP/IP subnets, as determined by the IP subnet
netmask.
•
If you are not on a TCP/IP network, use the Xerox-supplied IP
address value (192.9.200.1), or the IP address value
assigned by your network administrator.
IP netmask
Series of four integers between 0 and 255 separated by a period,
such as 255.255.255.0 to create an IP netmask. (Do not use all
zeros or designate 255 for all integers when assigning an IP
netmask, and do not use the IP address value.)
Preparing for installation
4-10
Installation Planning Guide
•
If you are on a TCP/IP network, assign a valid IP netmask.
•
If you are not on a TCP/IP network and you used the Xerox-
supplied IP address value (192.9.200.1), use 255.255.255.0
for the IP netmask.
IP broadcast
address
Series of four integers between 0 and 255 separated by a period,
such as 255.255.255.0, to create an IP broadcast address. (Do
not use the IP address value.)
•
If you are on a TCP/IP network, assign a valid IP broadcast
address.
•
If you are not on a TCP/IP network, use the Xerox-supplied IP
broadcast address value (255.255.252.0), which is a plus (+)
sign.
Default router
Series of four integers between 0 and 255 separated by a period,
such as 188.9.234.1, to specify a default router. Most TCP/IP
networks broadcast routing information.
CAUTION
Specify a default router only if your network does not specify
broadcast routing information.
•
If the TCP/IP network does not broadcast routing information,
specify an IP address of an existing router that is on the same
subnet as the DocuPrint.
•
If you are not on a TCP/IP network, specify the default of
NONE.
Superuser
password
(UNIX root
password)
Select a password to prevent unauthorized access to your
superuser account. You can select a series of any ASCII
characters, except those that your UNIX system interprets in a
special way. Passwords have no limits on the number of
characters, but the system uses only the first eight characters to
administer password security. The password selection you make
is case sensitive to the system.
Installation Planning Guide
4-11
CAUTION
Select a password that cannot be easily obtained by others to
avoid unauthorized access to your account. This is not the same
password used for Operator or Administrator functions.
AppleTalk network
information
If the DocuPrint NPS/IPS is installed in an AppleTalk network
environment, indicate whether your AppleTalk network is phase
1 or 2. Also, indicate the AppleTalk zone name you want the
DocuPrint to locate. The zone name must be the same name as
the existing zone used on the network to which the DocuPrint is
attached. In addition, you must specify the network device on
which AppleTalk runs.
NOTE: Do not use the ampersand (“&”) in the zone name to
avoid conflict with UNIX expressions. If the ampersand character
must be used, enter “\\&” instead.
Accounting
information
Indicate whether to set an interval on the system to automatically
purge accounting information. If accounting information is not
purged manually or automatically, the system disk can reach
storage limits. To keep your system running at optimum speed,
you need to periodically purge accounting data.
Xerox client
software
Indicate whether you have Xerox client software installed, and
are supporting Xerox clients on the network.
lpr and lpd
Indicate whether to enable client use of lpr and lpd job
submission and status commands.
UNIX command
tool
Indicate whether to have a UNIX command tool available for use
in the background menu.
Retry count
Determine whether the DocuPrint NPS/IPS system supports a
print production environment, or whether the system remains
unattended. Once you determine the environment the DocuPrint
NPS/IPS supports, you must decide the number of attempts the
system makes to print a job before a sequencer restart causes
the job to be held for intervention.
•
If the DocuPrint NPS/IPS supports a print production
environment, you may want to specify a large number or zero
as the number of attempts the system makes to retry a print
job. (Zero indicates an infinite number of retries.)
Preparing for installation
4-12
Installation Planning Guide
•
If the DocuPrint NPS/IPS is unattended, you may want to
specify only one or two retries to print a job.
Novell network information
The Novell network information you provide to your service
representative is based on whether you configure the DocuPrint
as a print server or a remote printer. Refer to this chapter and
your Novell network administrator for assistance, if necessary.
DocuPrint as a print server (PSERVER)
Provide the following information to the service representative if
you configure DocuPrint NPS/IPS as a print server on the Novell
network (for further information, refer to the “Installation process”
section in the “Installation” chapter of this guide):
•
Novell file server name: Indicates the name of the file
server that the DocuPrint NPS/IPS services. The file server
must have the appropriate print server definition and the
queue to be serviced.
•
Print server name: Indicates the name used by the
DocuPrint NPS/IPS print server. A print server definition with
this name must exist on the file server that the DocuPrint
NPS/IPS services. A single printer (type Remote Other/
Unknown) must be defined for this print server and the queue
(refer to the queue name below).
•
Password for the print server: Refers to a password you
may have added in the print server definition (using
PCONSOLE). It is not necessary to add a password to a print
server, and there is no default password.
•
Queue name to service: Refers to the name of the queue
from which the DocuPrint print server accepts jobs. The
queue must be defined on the file server that the DocuPrint
NPS/IPS services. The single printer that must be defined for
the print server (as stated above) must also be defined to
service the specified queue.
•
Form names: Distinct form names for DocuPrint NPS/IPS
that map to the DocuPrint virtual printer names.
Installation Planning Guide
4-13
DocuPrint NPS/IPS as a remote printer (RPRINTER)
Provide the following information to the service representative if
you configure DocuPrint NPS/IPS as a remote printer on the
Novell network (for further information, refer to the “Installation
process” section in the “Installation” chapter of this guide):
•
Novell print server name: Indicates the name of the print
server to which the DocuPrint NPS/IPS will connect. An
advertising print server with this name must be running on
the Novell internet.
•
Printer names to service: Refers to the name or names of
the printers defined for the Novell print server. Virtual printers
should be defined with these names after DocuPrint NPS/IPS
installation is complete. These printers should be defined as
type Remote Other/Unknown.
IPX internal
network number
Specify the network number for the internal IPX network in the
DocuPrint server. This number must be globally unique within
the NetWare internet to which the DocuPrint NPS/IPS is
connected. (Do not assign a number that is used by other

•
ETHERNET__SNAP
•
TOKENRING
•
TOKENRING__SNAP
•
FDDI
•
FDDI__SNAP.
Preparing for installation
4-14
Installation Planning Guide
Choose a framing type used by the file server that communicates
with DocuPrint NPS/IPS. If you are using print server or remote
printer, and have the DocuPrint NPS/IPS communicate with a
different machine for each, then choose a framing type that is
used by both of the machines.
If you are installing a new Novell network using Ethernet, it is
recommended that you choose the ETHERNET__II framing type
for the file server and the DocuPrint NPS/IPS. If you are using

Installation Planning Guide
Space requirements
You should consider the following factors when deciding where to
place the printing system hardware components:
•
Adequate work space and service clearance around the
equipment
•
Proximity to electrical and network connectors
•
Security of the work area. You may need to place the system
in an area where you can restrict access to it. This may be
important if your personnel need to print confidential
documents or if you are concerned with unauthorized usage.
Dimensions and weights of the printer components are listed in
this section, along with diagrams, to help you visualize the sizes
and total space requirements.
NOTE: There must be a 78-inch / 198-cm vertical clearance
throughout the entire area. Your printer must be installed in a
fixed location with a minimum clearance space of 36 inches /
91.4 cm around all sides of each piece of equipment for access
by service personnel. In addition, there must be 50 inches /
126.9 cm clearance space in front of the printer.
