1Product overview
This chapter provides an overview of the features and functions of
the Xerox DocuPrint Model 92C IPS.
System overview
The Xerox DocuPrint Model 92C IPS is a cut-sheet, duplex highlight
color printer that is fully compatible with the IBM AFP architecture. It
accepts an IPDS data stream from any PSF eligible platform,
including MVS, VM, VSE, OS/2, OS/400 (with TCP/IP only), and AIX.
It is plug-compatible in the AFP/IPDS environment, and emulates an
IBM IPDS Group 3 page printer with the AFIG (Advanced Function
Image and Graphics) option.
The IPS printer series is a combination of proven Xerox print engines
matched with a high-performance RISC-based controller. Each
system consists of a Sun workstation controller and the printer,
sometimes referred to as the Image Output Terminal (IOT).
Host environments
The IPS emulates an IBM AFP Group 3 page printer with the
Advanced Function Image and Graphics (AFIG) option and can print
in all the following PSF environments:
•
MVS
•
VM (channel-attached only)
•
VSE (channel-attached only)
•
OS/2
•
OS/400 (with TCP/IP only)
•
AIX
Note:
Although PSF/VSE does not support TCP/IP directly, a
printing system with PSF/2, PSF/6000, or 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 IPS printer.
Note:
There is no minimum host operating system software level
required to support IPS. The minimum PSF levels needed to support
the IPS are:
•
PSF/MVS: V2.2
•
PSF/VM: V2.1
•
PSF/VSE: V2.2
•
PSF/400: V3.2
•
PSF/6000: V2.1
•
PSF/2: V2.0
XEROX DOCUPRINT 92C IPS INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE
The DocuPrint 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 called a Host
Channel Unit (HCU), which interfaces between the IBM host and
the IPS controller.
•
Through a Token Ring or Ethernet interface using TCP/IP (the
HCU is not used).
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.)
•
The software supports Token Ring over TCP/IP, and
Ethernet over TCP/IP, with the exception of VM and VSE
platforms.
•
Of the other platforms that support TCP/IP, only the
RS/6000 supports 100 Mb Ethernet connectivity.
Note:
Customers can have multiple connectivities (Token
Ring, Ethernet, or Bus and Tag), but only one type of
connectivity can be active at any given time.
Data is printed at production speeds of up to 92 impressions per
minute.
A full-color graphical user interface on the Sun workstation enables
interaction with the IPS.

DocuPrint Model 92C IPS printer
For information on the various IPS printer configuration options, refer
to the “Printer components and options” chapter of this guide.
DocuPrint Model 92C IPS hardware features
The DocuPrint Model 92C IPS system provides numerous features
that can be accessed with standard AFP compatible software
products. The following features are available and can be enabled or
configured using the graphical user interface on the printer controller:
•
Highlight color — The DocuPrint Model 92C IPS has the
capability of printing in one highlight color plus black. A number
of 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.
•
Up to four input trays — Two addressable input trays are
standard with the printing system. Two additional feeder trays
are available as options. These trays can be used to configure
print jobs in the most effective manner. For example, the trays
can be used to provide nonstop printing of a complex job that
requires multiple paper stocks, or only a few paper stocks, but
using the continuous loading capability of the input trays. A
different tray can also be selected for each copy of a specific
page in a print job; for example, to provide different paper colors
for specific pages.
Feeder tray capacities, based on 20-pound or 80 gsm (grams
per square meter) bond, are:
—
Tray 1: 1000 sheets
—
Tray 2: 500 sheets
—
High-capacity feeder trays (3 and 4): 1000 sheets each.
•
Advanced paper handling — The 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 110-pound / 200 gsm index.
XEROX DOCUPRINT 92C IPS INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE
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.
•
600 dpi resolution — The DocuPrint Model 92C IPS provides
high print quality at 600 dpi resolution. It can receive data at
240, 300 or 600 dpi; 240 and 300 dpi data is converted to 600
by the controller.
The IPS must be configured to the same font resolution as the
host input data stream (refer to your DocuPrint Model 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 variable data
missing from the output.
Note:
You will normally achieve better print quality by
converting all 240 dpi fonts and other resources to 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 applications.
•
Bypass transport option — The bypass transport enables
sheets to pass through the printer output module to a third-party
finishing device. With such a device, you add to your DocuPrint
Model 92C IPS such finishing capabilities as saddle-stitching,
binding, trimming, etc. The bypass transport fits into tray 1 of
the dual stacker, and can be easily removed and installed by the
operator. (For further information on this option, refer to the
“Bypass transport specifications” appendix of this guide.)
•
Sixth Sense Remote Service — The Xerox Sixth Sense
Remote Service feature allows Xerox support personnel to
access IPS/NPS controller via modem from a remote location.
More information about Remote Service can be found in the
Xerox DocuPrint Model 92C IPS Troubleshooting Guide.
•
Choice of dual or stitcher stacker — Your DocuPrint Model
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 stock,
are:
—
Dual stacker trays 1 and 2: 750 sheets each
—
Stitcher/stacker: 2000 sheets.
XEROX DOCUPRINT 92C IPS INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE
1-5
NPS/IPS Dual Mode
The Xerox DocuPrint Dual Mode option enables both DocuPrint IPS
and NPS 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 two 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.
The customer may switch from one mode to the other. When your
system is operating in IPS mode, it can accept PostScript and PCL
data streams in the background; however, you can print these jobs
only when the system is in NPS mode. When in NPS mode, the
system cannot accept IPDS data streams in the background; you can
print them only when the system is in IPS mode.
Refer to the Xerox DocuPrint IPS/NPS Dual Mode Switching
Instructions and other Xerox DocuPrint IPS documentation for more
information.
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 Xerox
DocuPrint 4850/4890 IPS System Administration Guide.
XEROX DOCUPRINT 92C IPS INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE
Base system components
The IPS system consists of the following major components:
•
Printer controller — The printer controller accepts IPDS data
from the host, processes the data, and sends the data to the
printer engine using the IPS operating system. The controller
provides the printer with print data and commands, and
receives status information from the printer.
•
Printer — The printer, also called the Image Output Terminal
(IOT), accepts formatted pages of data from the printer
controller and performs the imaging and printing of documents.
The printer also provides paper stacking, collating, and optional
finishing capabilities you enable using the IPS application
software accessed through the graphical user interface.

2Controller components and
options
The printer controller provides the printer with print data and
commands, and receives status information from the printer. This
chapter describes the components and options available for the
controller.
Controller hardware
The printer controller consists of a Sun workstation and, if you are
printing data received over a channel, a Host Channel Unit (HCU).
The controller uses proprietary Xerox hardware, firmware, and
software to run the IPS.
Your controller may be either a Sun Ultra 2 or Ultra 60 workstation.
The following sections contain information about both the Ultra 2 and
the Ultra 60.
Sun Ultra 2 workstation
The Sun workstation provides a user interface to the print engine. It
is used to operate the IPS software that controls the printer. The
workstation contains the following hardware components:
•
Sun Ultra 2 workstation processor (system unit)
•
Display monitor
•
Keyboard and mouse
•
Connectivity boards for Ethernet and, optionally, Token Ring
•
A Data Control Interface Module (DCIM2) card installed in the
processor to interface with the print engine.

Processor
The 256 MB RAM processor is the central processing unit of the Sun
workstation. It contains a power switch, an internal disk drive, a
diskette drive, a CD-ROM drive, a power receptacle and outlet,
connectors and ports.
The processor has the following components:
•
Internal disk drive: One 4.2 GB internal disk drive is provided
as a standard feature of the processor. The operating system,
the IPS application, and any queued print jobs are stored on the
internal disk. This disk cannot be used to store other
applications or data except as directed by your service
representative. Up to three optional disk drives are available in
increments of 4 or 9 GB.
•
Diskette drive: Diskettes inserted into a diskette drive are used
to load files to, and back up files from, the internal disk drive.
The diskette drive uses industry standard 3.5 inch, 1.44 MB,
double-sided, high-density diskettes. This diskette drive is not
an input source for print jobs nor any other data or application; it
is reserved exclusively for use by a service representative to
update software and to store files. The diskette drive is located
in the processor, on the right front section for the Ultra 2.

•
CD-ROM drive: The CD-ROM drive is a high density, read-only,
optical laser storage device used for loading the IPS operating
system and other files. The CD-ROM drive is located in the
processor above the diskette drive.
•
Cartridge tape drive (not shown): An optional 8 GB, 4 mm
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.
Caution:
When installing a cartridge drive on an IPS with a
host channel unit (HCU), the tape drive must be “daisy-chained”
to the HCU. In this situation, do not attempt to run both the tape
drive and the HCU at the same time.
•
Back panel: The back panel of the processor has a power
switch, a power receptacle and outlet, connectors, connector
openings, and ports. The following figure shows the back panel
of the Sun workstation that is a part of your IPS controller.

The 256 MB RAM processor is the central processing unit of the Sun
Ultra 60 workstation. It contains a power switch, a disk drive, a
diskette drive, a CD-ROM drive, a power receptacle and outlet,
connectors and ports.
The processor has the following components:
•
Internal disk drive: Two 18.2 GB primary disk drives are
provided as a standard feature of the processor. The operating
system, the IPS application, and any queued print jobs are
stored on the internal disk. This disk cannot be used to store
other applications or data except as directed by your service
representative.
•
Diskette drive: Diskettes inserted into a diskette drive are used
to load files to, and back up files from, the internal disk drive.
The diskette drive uses industry standard 3.5 inch, 1.44 MB,
double-sided, high-density diskettes. This diskette drive is not
an input source for print jobs nor 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 is a high density, read-only,
optical laser storage device used for loading the IPS operating
system and other files. The CD-ROM drive is located in the
processor above the diskette drive.

Customer-changeable unit (CCU)
The customer-changeable unit (CCU) contains the replaceable
colored dry ink dispenser bottle and the color developer housing. It is
a self-contained unit that is easily removed from the printer and
stored until needed. Each bottle is uniquely coded to the color of the
housing to ensure that a wrong color is not added to a housing.
Note:
Only the color housing can be changed. The black housing
is permanently installed in the printer; only its ink and developer
bottles are changed.
A changeout cart is used to remove a CCU from the printer and to
transport a CCU to the printer or to another area. Because of the
physical weight of the CCU, the cart is required to change colored dry
ink.
The cart also serves as a storage device for CCUs that are not
currently in use. For example, if you use both the red and blue inks
in your operation, one CCU is always out of the machine in storage
on the cart while the other CCU is installed.
Figure 3-6.
Changeout cart with CCU installed
Note:
You should have a cart for each CCU, so that one cart is
always empty and available to remove the CCU installed in the
system. However, if your printer is used to print only one color—the
CCU will never be removed—or if there is more than one printer in
operation at your site, it may not be necessary to have one cart for
each CCU. Consult your site representative for more
information.
PRINTER COMPONENTS AND OPTIONS

XEROX DOCUPRINT 92C IPS INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE
Bypass transport option
The bypass transport enables third-party finishing equipment to
connect to and interface directly with the printer. The bypass
transport requires that your printer have a dual stacker output module
configuration. Likewise, third-party finishing devices require that your
printer have a bypass transport.
The bypass transport option enables individual printed sheets of
paper to pass through the printer’s output module to third-party
finishing equipment. The third-party devices perform a variety of
finishing tasks such as saddle-stitching, binding, folding, stapling,
trimming, and stacking. These devices are usually stand-alone units
that can be connected in any number of configurations.
Figure 3-7.
Xerox DocuPrint 92C with bypass transport

Bypass transport support
The bypass transport fits into tray 1 of the dual stacker. With the
bypass transport, sheets of paper flow from left to right (when viewed
from the front of the printer), leading from the long edge of each
sheet. You can configure the output module to run with or without the
bypass transport. The bypass transport support is stationary and
cannot be removed. However, the support does not interfere with the
operation of trays 1 or 2 when the bypass transport is removed.

Third-party finishing devices
It is important to note that while the bypass transport option provides
you with an interface between your DocuPrint 92C IPS and your
finishing accessories, the finishing accessories require their own AC
and DC power sources. The power must be independent of your
DocuPrint 92C IPS.
More information on the bypass transport and document finishing
can be obtained from the Xerox Finishing web site
http://www.xerox-finishing.com/
Included on this web site are the DFA Interface Specifications for
your printer.
Consult your Xerox sales representative, as well as the sales
representative of the company from which you purchased your
finishing equipment, for specific electrical and space requirements.
Interface with third-party devices
The mechanical interface between the laser printer and third-party
finishing devices can connect as follows:
•
Physically aligning a finishing device with the exit slot of the
bypass transport exit slot.
•
Docking the third-party finishing device to the bypass transport
and establishing a mechanical and electrical interface between
the two.
Electrical interface
When you power up the IPS, the printer automatically detects the
presence of the bypass transport and external finishing devices. The
system also begins monitoring the interlocks (physical links) between
the bypass transport and the finishing device and starts finishing
device interface communications.

XEROX DOCUPRINT 92C IPS INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE
Your Xerox DocuPrint 92C and third-party finishing devices interface
on several different levels:
•
The IPS requires information about the finishing devices to
store in its non-volatile memory (NVM).
•
The finishing device information is grouped into a personality
profile for each device.
•
Your operators prepare the third-party device hardware to finish
the printed output and inform the IPS of device names and
parameters.
•
The bypass transport feeds single sheets of paper to the
external finishing device.
•
Communications between the bypass transport and the
external finishing device consist of command and status
signals.

Connectivity requirements
A Token Ring network or an Ethernet local area network running
TCP/IP is the network communication system that may be used to
transport documents from the host to the IPS. This is an alternative
to the channel-attached configuration, in which data is transmitted via
bus and tag cables and the HCU.
Ethernet specifications
The Ethernet connection to the printer controller processor must be
compatible with the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
(IEEE) 802.3 standard.
The Ethernet interface on the processor is a 10Mb/sec twisted pair
standard (10BaseT and 100BaseT). The MII (for UltraSPARC) Coax
Ethernet is enabled with an adapter cable.
The Ethernet interface on the printer controller processor is a 10Mb/
sec twisted pair standard (10BaseT and 100BaseT). Attachment Unit
Interface (AUI) Coax Ethernet is enabled with an adapter cable.
Work with your system administrator to assess what type of network
you have and what modifications need to be made to supply an
Ethernet connector to the printer controller processor.
Token Ring specifications
The Token Ring connection must be compatible with the IEEE 802.3
standard. The printer controller processor has a 4 MB/16 MB Token
Ring interface (16 MB is preferred).
Channel-attached specifications
For an online configuration with an IBM host system, the following
cables must be available:
•
Bus and tag cables (bus in, bus out, tag in, tag out)
•
Terminators (if necessary, due to location on channel).
For your convenience, it is possible to order the bus and tag cables
for the printer through Xerox on a purchase-only basis. Contact your
Xerox sales representative for current pricing and order information.

CCU changeout cart
The changeout cart is required for installing and removing the CCU,
which contains the colored dry ink. A cart must also be used to store
any CCUs that are not currently installed in the printer. Therefore, if
you intend to print using more than one dry ink color, you should have
one cart for each CCU.
Note:
If there is more than one laser printer at your site, it may not
be necessary to have one cart per CCU. Consult with your site
representative for more information.
Empty carts may be stored anywhere in your site that is convenient
and provides easy access when the carts are required for a
changeout. Carts with a CCU loaded (a CCU being stored on the
cart) should be stored in a controlled environment, preferably in the
same controlled environment as the printer. This reduces the amount
of time required for the printer to set up the color developer housing
(inside the CCU) once it is installed and therefore reduces the
amount of total time required for a change of dry ink color.
You should plan for the space necessary to store the carts: the space
in the controlled environment for loaded carts and other space for
empty carts.
The dimensions of the cart are as follows:
Note:
Additional space (6-inch by 64-inch / 15 cm by 163 cm) is
required in front of the printer for CCU changeout cart
operability.

Space planning guidelines
When determining your space requirements and planning for shared
space between your DocuPrint printers, it is important to consider all
of the components you plan to install.
To ensure all of the space requirements are met, it is important to
work with your Xerox representative.
Before installation, you must consider the following:
•
Clearance space requirements where you intend to install the
printing system
•
Delivery access requirements
•
Recommended cable lengths and locations (refer to the
“System connections” chapter of this guide for more
information)
•
Floor leveling.
Clearance space requirements
The printer must be installed in a fixed location that provides the
following clearance space:
•
36 inches / 91.4 cm on all sides of each component
•
78 inches / 198 cm of vertical clearance throughout the entire
area
•
24 inches / 61 cm of exclusive operator area in front of each
component.
Shared space
It is best to provide the full amount of clearance space around the
hardware components. Your environment may require you to use
shared space between components such as between the printer and
another Xerox printing system. You can share the 36-inch / 91.4 cm
clearance space around each component, as long as you follow
these rules:
•
Space may be shared only with other Xerox equipment.
•
Components may share the 36-inch / 91.4 cm general service
clearance areas, but they may not share the 24-inch / 61 cm
operator area in front of each component.
•
There must be 78 inches / 198 cm of vertical clearance
throughout the entire area.
Note:
Finishers attached to your bypass transport may occupy
shared space with Xerox equipment. However, they must be
removable to allow servicing of the DocuPrint printer stackers.
Consult with your Xerox representatives to ensure all the
requirements are met.

printers should be separated by 24 inches / 61 cm, plus 24 inches/
61 cm, plus 12 inches / 30.5 cm. This allows for the entire operator
space for each printer, plus the shared general service area of
12 inches / 30.5 cm.

Floor leveling
For proper operation, the printer must be perfectly level. On floors
less than two degrees out of level, installation personnel use a
leveling kit to level the machine.
Note:
The printer will not function properly on floors more than two
degrees out of level.
If the floor is more than two degrees out of level, find another location
for the printer.
For your reference, two degrees represents a height discrepancy of
approximately 3.8 inches / 9.6 cm measured at the casters with the
printer tilting from left to right, or approximately 0.7 inches / 1.8 cm
with the printer tilting from back to front.
If you move the printer after its initial installation, it is your
responsibility to make sure that the printer can be leveled properly. If
you do not have the leveling kit (the printer in its initial location did not
require it), and you need one to level the printer in a new location,
contact your Xerox site representative to obtain one.
Delivery access requirements
It is easy to overlook the path required to move the equipment from
the truck to the operation site. To determine access, ask the following
questions:
•
Does the equipment need to go up or down a stairwell? How
wide is the stairwell?
•
Do you have an elevator, if the equipment is to be located above
the first floor?
•
Is the elevator large enough for the equipment?
•
How wide are the hallways and doorways?
•
Do you have a loading dock or a specific door to which the
equipment should be delivered?
You need to review these issues before or during the site inspection
conducted by your service representative.
The equipment dimensions are specified earlier in this chapter, so it
is easy to determine whether your hallways and doorways are wide
enough to permit access.
Turning radius
You must also consider the width of the passageway when the
equipment must negotiate a corner, whether into a room, an elevator,
or another passageway.
There are L-shaped turns and T-shaped turns. The diagrams and the
tables that follow show the minimum space required to maneuver
through the turns.

Space planning templates
The dimensions and space requirements for your printer components
are provided earlier in this chapter. The space planning templates
are designed to simplify the space planning process by helping you
to create a floor plan for your base components, particularly if you
have shared clearance space.
The easiest way to use the space planning templates is to move the
templates around on the grid located at the end of this section and
determine the optimum placement for your printer components.
Make sure to consider other pieces of equipment, such as cabinets,
tables, and optional equipment when planning your space. Your
customer support representative can help you plan space for
additional components.
The templates are to scale with the grid; each square is equal to 12
by 12 inches/30.5 by 30.5 cm. The curved dotted lines in the corners
of the space perimeters indicate the corners that may be rounded off
while still maintaining the required clearance space.
There are a number of factors to keep in mind when planning your
site, including the following:
•
Clearance space requirements
•
Cable length.
Refer to these sections in this manual when considering the various
factors involved in planning the appropriate location for your printing
system.

7System connections
This chapter provides cable requirements for your DocuPrint
Model 92C IPS system. It also provides information about channel-
attaching your IPS printer. To ensure all of your cable requirements
are met, it is important to work with your Xerox representative.
Cable lengths
Cable lengths are important considerations in planning your layout,
as components can be separated only up to the length of the data
interface cables that connect them.
Cables supplied with the printer are long enough to meet the needs
of most installations. Some of these cables are specific lengths to
conform to engineering and safety standards.
Data cables
The printer components can be separated up to the length of the data
interface cables that connect them. The printer and controller are
connected by a 25-foot / 7.5 meter data cable.
Power cables
Power cable lengths for the 60 Hz environment are as follows:
!
Warning:
Using an inappropriate alternate cable may degrade the
performance of your equipment and may also be hazardous.
Note:
Cable length loss must be factored in if equipment is installed
in a raised-floor environment. You should also consider that part of
the length of a cable is routed inside the equipment to connect with
interior power or data receptacles.

Channel attachments
The IPS printing system conforms to IBM standards and
requirements for any channel-attached printer. When you channel-
attach your printer, keep the following in mind:
•
Channel length is usually determined by the length of the
cables, the number of devices on the channel, and the number
of connections in the cable itself (for example, connecting two
cables to each other).
•
Subtract 15 feet from the total allowable cable length for any
device attached to the channel or for any connection of two
cables.
•
IBM channel cable lengths are as follows:
—
Gray: 200 feet / 61 m (with one device, 185 feet / 56 m)
—
Blue: 400 feet / 122 m (with one device, 385 feet / 117 m)

8Installation
This chapter describes the activities performed by you and Xerox
during the installation of the Xerox DocuPrint Model 92C IPS
hardware and software components. Before installation can begin,
you must complete the tasks described in the “Preparing for
installation” chapter of this guide.
Installation process
Xerox is responsible for the physical installation of the DocuPrint
Model 92C IPS hardware components and the software.
For customers outside the United States, contact your local Xerox
representative or operating company for your specific installation
process.
The installation process can take one or several days to complete.
Equipment, software kits, and documentation kits may all arrive in
one day, or over the course of several days. When all of the
necessary items are in place, Xerox personnel will complete the
installation of the IPS components.
The steps in the installation process typically occur in the following
order:
1. Xerox personnel install all IPS hardware and options at your
site. This process takes approximately 24 hours if all of the
necessary connectors are in place.
2. Xerox personnel place the system online.
3. Xerox personnel load the initial applications and run sample
jobs.
4. Xerox personnel test the system and run sample jobs (30
minutes).
5. Xerox personnel conduct initial operations training (2 to 4
hours).
6. Xerox personnel review preventive maintenance schedules and
service call procedures.
XEROX DOCUPRINT 92C IPS INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE
Your responsibilities
Xerox is responsible for the physical installation of the printer
components and for loading the software and applications. You have
the general site responsibility of ensuring that the right personnel,
supplies, and network information are available.
At the time of installation, you should do the following:
•
Make sure that your system administrator is available during the
loading of software.
•
If you plan to operate in Dual Mode, for software loading
purposes, be prepared to provide Xerox personnel with any
network information.
•
Check the documentation and software kits with their packing
lists for completeness.
•
Have test jobs ready to run.
•
Have the necessary parameters defined to configure PSF for
connectivity to your IPS printer.
•
Have list of stocks you want used for your default input tray
configuration.
•
Have your operators available for training.
•
Sysgen your host to print to an AFP1-type printer. Refer to the
IBM ITSC Distributing AFP Printing from a Host System
(#GG24-4493) documentation for further information.
•
If your system will be channel-attached, make available a bus
and tag connection from the host system as follows:
—
AS/400 requires a Barr/AFD or PS/2 with a channel card.
—
RS/6000 requires a channel card for IPS connectivity.
—
PS/2 requires a channel card for IPS connectivity.
•
Check the documentation and software kits against their
packing lists for completeness.
•
Remember you are responsible for supplying, installing, and
maintaining your Token Ring or Ethernet Local Area network
that connects your host with your printer controller.
Refer to the installation planning checklist in the “Setting up the work
area” chapter of this guide for a complete list of responsibilities.
XEROX DOCUPRINT 92C IPS INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE
8-3
Defining the IPS printer to the host
Prior to installation of your IPS printer, your host system must be
configured to communicate with and print on the IPS. This requires
defining several printer parameters to your host. The required
information and configuration procedures differ according to your
connectivity type (channel or TCP/IP), and your host and PSF
environment. You will need to provide these parameters to your
Xerox representative on installation day.
There are two appendices in this guide which provide printer
configuration procedures and the parameters you must define in
order to configure PSF to make a connection with your IPS. One
appendix discusses channel-attached environments; the other
appendix provides information for environments in which the IPS
uses TCP/IP to communicate via Ethernet or Token Ring.
Parameters are given for MVS mainframes, AS/400, RS/6000
running AIX, and PS/2 or other personal computers running OS/2.
Software licensing
When an IPS printer is purchased, the owner needs to receive a
license to use the operating system software. Once a user calls in
with a host ID, (Sun SPARC/Ultra host ID), the user receives a
license string. Refer to the “Setting up the printer controller” chapter
in the Guide to Configuring and Managing the System (section titled
“Loading the IPS software license text stream”).
This license is enabled by entering a 20-character authorization text
string at the printer controller keyboard. Your Xerox service
representative obtains this license text string for you and enters it
when your IPS is installed.
Until this 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
also can enter your license string, by selecting IPS Authorization
Enablement from the Administration pulldown menu on the IPS main
window. Refer to your IPS Guide to Configuring and Managing the
System, “Setting up the printer controller” chapter, for the procedure.
Note:
If your system will be operating in Dual Mode, it requires two
license strings: one for IPS and one for NPS.
XEROX DOCUPRINT 92C IPS INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE
Ongoing maintenance
After the installation of your Xerox DocuPrint IPS, there are a few
ongoing tasks that must be performed. These tasks may include the
following:
•
Maintaining an adequate inventory of consumable supplies
•
Overseeing routine maintenance and meter reporting
•
Arranging for additional operator training
•
Ordering additional fonts
•
Ordering additional documentation
•
Placing service calls for hardware problems
•
Obtaining assistance in solving software-related problems.
As installation coordinator, it is your responsibility to designate the
staff members responsible for these tasks.
Routine maintenance
A number of routine maintenance tasks must be performed to ensure
maximum efficiency of your printer. These tasks include:
•
Adding standard dry ink to your printer
•
Adding colored dry ink to your printer
•
Changing the CCU for colored dry ink in your printer
•
Adding fuser lubricant
•
Replacing the dry ink and developer waste containers
•
Cleaning the exterior surfaces of the system.
Step-by-step instructions for performing these tasks are contained in
your Guide to Performing Routine Maintenance. You need to decide
how many operators will be responsible for performing these tasks.
Most maintenance tasks are covered in the initial operator training
provided shortly after installation.
Note:
Only operators who have completed the Xerox Advanced
Customer Training (ACT) or eXcellerate courses or equivalent
advanced customer training can replace stitcher wire. Refer to the
“Xerox support services” appendix of this guide for additional
information on training.
Meter reading and reporting
As print jobs are processed, the printer controller accumulates,
saves, and maintains usage data.
During the last five working days of each month, you need to review
and transmit the data to Xerox for billing purposes. Refer to your
Guide to Performing Routine Maintenance for complete instructions
on how to report meter readings.
XEROX DOCUPRINT 92C IPS INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE
A-1
A.
ASupplies
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 INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE
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
XEROX DOCUPRINT 92C IPS INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE
A-3
Paper care
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.

Recommended temperature and humidity for paper
storage
Conditioning paper
Because temperature and humidity affect paper performance in the
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.
XEROX DOCUPRINT 92C IPS INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE

Use the following chart 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 oF to an operating area with a temperature of 75 oF (a 15o
difference), you should do so at least 14 hours before using the
paper.

XEROX DOCUPRINT 92C IPS INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE
Other supplies
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
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
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
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:
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 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.

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 (Roman,
italic, 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 printer’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 from your local Xerox Font Center.

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:
