INTRODUCTION xii XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/4635/180 IPS SYSTEM OVERVIEW GUIDE
1. 1System overview This chapter introduces the DocuPrint 96 and 96 MICR IPS, the 4635 and 4635 MICR IPS, and the DocuPrint 180 and 180 MICR IPS printing systems. It describes the systems’ hardware and software components, features, functions, and modes of operation. Functional overview of the DocuPrint IPS The 96 IPS, 96 MICR IPS, 4635 IPS, 4635 MICR IPS, 180 IPS, and the 180 MICR IPS print high quality documents in simplex or duplex mode at high speeds.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW Major system components The IPS has the following main components, each of which is described in greater detail in later chapters of this guide: Printer Controller The Printer Controller accepts IPDS data from the host, processes 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.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW Throughput speed The 96 IPS, 4635 IPS and 180 IPS can print at the following speeds, using stocks 8 by 10 inches / 203 by 254 mm or larger: With small paper sizes • • 96 IPS and 96 MICR IPS: Up to 96 impressions per minute • 180 IPS and 180 MICR IPS: Up to 180 impressions per minute.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW Host connectivity options 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.
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.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW 96/4635/180 IPS hardware features The 96, 4635, and 180 IPS provide numerous features that can be enabled or configured using the graphical user interface on the printer controller. Multiple input trays Multiple feeder trays can be configured to feed paper for jobs in the most effective manner. For example, the trays can provide nonstop printing of a complex job that requires many paper stocks, or only a few stocks, by using the trays’ continuous loading capability.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW Roll feeder support The 96, 4635, and 180 IPS can each accommodate a third-party roll feeder as an optional input tray. • The 96 and 4635 IPS have an optional configuration in which the roll feeder interfaces with the last feeder/stacker module. With this configuration the 4635 IPS may have up to six feeder trays with the sixth being the roll feeder. The 96 IPS may have up to five input trays, with the roll feeder as the fifth.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW 600 dpi resolution The 96, 4635, and 180 IPS all print at high resolution. The printers can receive data at 240, 300, and 600 dpi (dots per inch). All 240 or 300 dpi data is interpolated to 600 dpi for higher print quality. Table 1-1 shows how data streams of different resolutions are interpolated. Table 1-1.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW Bypass transport option The programmable bypass transport moves paper from the stacker to a third-party finishing device (for example, a stitcher). When installed, the bypass transport is attached to the last feeder stacker module. Note: With the bypass transport installed, the 4635 and 180 IPS can support up to three feeder/stacker modules, including the inverter feeder/stacker. The 96 IPS can have no more than two feeder/stackers. Figure 1-3.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW User interface 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.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW Software features The following special IPS software features provide system flexibility. Mixed paper sizes within a job The IPS can print jobs that call for a mix of paper sizes, without needing to interrupt or slow down printing.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW IOCA Replicate and Trim 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.
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.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW Full-page 600 dpi images This feature allows for 600 dpi full-page images to be printed on the IPS. To invoke this feature, you must have the resolution set at the controller to 600 dpi. Note: 600 dpi images can be generated only in the PSF/6000 environment. However, they can be transported to other environments for printing.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW Outline font support The IPS supports the use of IBM outline fonts for both single- 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.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW PCI Bus support 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 The IPS controls access to various functions based on four privilege modes: 1. User 2.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW Software license 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.

5. 5MICR IPS The 96 MICR IPS, 4635 MICR IPS, and 180 MICR IPS produce a magnetic ink character recognition (MICR) line on negotiable and turnaround documents such as checks and bills. The 96/4635/180 MICR IPS prints documents using magnetic ink and special fonts to create machine-readable information that allows for quick document processing.
MICR IPS Check Performance Guarantee Xerox’s Check Performance Guarantee means Xerox stands behind the performance of its MICR printers and inks. However, if any E13B or CMC7 font is used other than the ones supplied by Xerox, this guarantee is invalidated. 300/600 dpi resolution The 96/4635/180 MICR IPS receives data at 300 dpi and interpolates it to print at 600 dpi. All AFP resources, including fonts, required for MICR print jobs must be available at 300 dpi. Print image size can be up to 14.
MICR IPS MICR output It is important that the MICR output be checked periodically for readability of the MICR line. The MICR Clear Band, illustrated below, should be verified at regular intervals. Refer to the Generic MICR Fundamentals Guide for further information. Figure 5-2. ERA Parts of the MICR Clear Band on a U. S. check 1962721 ERA CORPORATION P. O.

MICR IPS Verifying MICR output with the MICR Position and Dimension Gauge The MICR Position and Dimension Gauge, which consists of a thin sheet of flexible plastic attached to the bottom of a piece of hard thick plastic, is provided in a kit that includes a small magnifying glass. The gauge is used by placing the printed output between the two pieces of plastic, which allows for a comparison of the MICR output elements against industry standard output.
A. APaper and other supplies This appendix provides information and specifications for the media you use with your Xerox DocuPrint 96, 4635, or 180 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 SUPPLIES Use paper within these parameters: • • Lightest: 16-pound or 65 gsm bond Heaviest: 110-pound or 200-gsm index. Note: It is recommended that you use 24-pound paper with MICR applications, or paper specified by your local banking regulatory authority. 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.
PAPER AND OTHER SUPPLIES • • • Perforated paper Pre-cut or full tabs Carbonless paper. Note: The 96/4635/180 printer can print on precollated or ordered stocks, including ordered tabs. However, jam recovery is not supported with these stocks. Paper width and printer performance The width of the paper you use for your print job is directly related to the rate at which the 96, 4635, and 180 printer can print a job.

PAPER AND OTHER SUPPLIES B4 Papers There are two sizes of B4 paper—European or ISO (9.84 by 13.89 inches / 250 by 353 mm) and Japanese or JIS B4 (14.33 by 10.12 inches / 364 by 257 mm). European B4 feeds long edge first, while JIS B4 feeds either long edge or short edge first. A-8 Figure A-7. B4 (250 by 353 mm) paper feeding (long edge feed) Figure A-8.
PAPER AND OTHER SUPPLIES 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.
PAPER AND OTHER SUPPLIES Figure A-10. 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.
