1. 1Product overview This chapter provides an overview of the features and functions of the following Xerox DocuPrint IPDS Printing Systems (IPS): • • • • • • 96 IPS 96 MICR IPS 4635 IPS 4635 MICR IPS 180 IPS 180 MICR IPS System overview The Xerox DocuPrint IPS printer series are cut-sheet, duplex, highspeed printers that are fully compatible with the IBM Advanced Function Presentation (AFP) architecture.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW Host connectivity options 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).
PRODUCT OVERVIEW Figure 1-2. 1 2 3 4 5 96/4635/180 IPS: TCP/IP configuration Host system (PC or mainframe) Token Ring or Ethernet network connection Sun workstation controller Printer interface cable (DCIM2) 96, 4635, or 180 IPS printer For information on the various IPS printer configuration options, refer to the “Printer components and options” chapter of this guide.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW System features The 96/4635/180 IPS provides 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.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW The DP96, DP4635 and DP180 IPS can also print on papers as small as 7 by 10 inches / 178 by 254 mm, with the optional 7 by 10-inch kit. They process paper weights from 16-pound / 60 gsm to 110-pound / 200 gsm. Jobs also can be printed on label stock, transparencies, precollated stock, tab stock, carbonless paper, and other specialized stocks.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW • Multiple high-capacity output bins — Each output bin has offsetting capability and a capacity of 2500 sheets of 20-pound or 80 gsm bond. Note: This capacity does not apply to 11 by 17-inch and A3 papers. Because of the additional weight these large sheets add to the bins, each bin can hold only up to 1500 sheets of A3 or 11 by 17-inch papers. • — 96 IPS: One output bin is standard for the system, with one additional bin available as an option (providing up to two bins total).
PRODUCT OVERVIEW MICR printing features The DocuPrint 96 MICR, 4635 MICR, and 180 MICR IPS produce a Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR) line on negotiable and turnaround documents such as checks and bills. The MICR printing systems print documents using magnetic ink and special fonts to create machine readable information that allows for quick document processing. In general, MICR is used to print accounting and routing information on blank checks and other negotiable documents.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW MICR fonts Xerox provides a set of 300 dpi E13B and CMC7 MICR fonts for use with your 96/4635/180 MICR IPS. To receive the high print quality guaranteed by Xerox, you must use these MICR fonts. E13B fonts: The E13B font series includes the following: • • • • E13B E13B Landscape E13B Test E13B Test Landscape. CMC7 fonts: CMC7 fonts have been adopted in various countries outside of the U.S., and are the official standard in France.
2. 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.

PRINTER SPECIFICATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS Space planning guidelines When determining your space requirements and planning for shared space between your 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.
PRINTER SPECIFICATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS 4635, 96, or 180 printer feeders and stackers. Consult with your Xerox representative to ensure all the requirements are met. The following figures illustrate three possible configurations of shared space. Back-to-back shared space The figure below illustrates the two printers placed in a back-to-back position. This allows them to share the entire 36 inches / 91.4 cm of general service space. Figure 6-14.
PRINTER SPECIFICATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS Face-to-face shared space The following figure shows the two printers facing each other. The printers share 12 inches / 30.5 cm of the general service space, but not the exclusive operator area in front of each printer. Therefore, the 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. Figure 6-15.
PRINTER SPECIFICATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS Face-to-back shared space The following figure shows the two printers arranged with one facing the back of the other. Between them is 60 inches / 152.4 cm of space. This allows for 24 inches / 61 cm of operator space in front of the printer facing toward the other, plus 36 inches / 91.4 cm of service space behind the printer facing away from the other. Figure 6-16. Face-to-back shared space 223.2 in / 567 cm 36 in / 91.4 cm 28.3 in / 71.
PRINTER SPECIFICATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS 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, this condition cannot be corrected by the leveling kit. Another suitable location must be found for the printer to be installed properly.
PRINTER SPECIFICATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS 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. Figure 6-17. T-shaped turn 1 2 Passage A Passage B Figure 6-18.
PRINTER SPECIFICATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS Turning radius for printer with separated components The 96, 4635 or 180 is delivered with the printer, inverter feeder/ stacker, and each feeder/stacker as separate modules. If necessary, the printer can be separated into two pieces for ease in moving. The larger of the two parts contains the xerographic system; the smaller of the parts (the paper handling module, or PHM) contains paper trays 1 and 2.

7. 7System connections This chapter provides cable requirements for your 96/4635/180 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.
SYSTEM CONNECTIONS Cable locations To run the cables beneath the flooring effectively, it is necessary to know where the cables enter and exit the printer. The following diagrams show those locations (marked with an X). All power cords attach to the back of the printer. Listed below are the distances of the printer power cord attachments from the left end of the printer as you face it. Figure 7-1.
8. 8Installation This chapter describes the activities performed by you and Xerox during the installation of the Xerox DocuPrint 96/96 MICR IPS, 4635/4635 MICR IPS, and 180/180 MICR IPS, and hardware and software components. Before installation can begin, you must complete the tasks described in the “Preparing for installation” chapter. Installation process Xerox is responsible for the physical installation of the 96/96 MICR, 4635/4635 MICR, or 180/180 MICR IPS hardware components and the software.
INSTALLATION 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.
INSTALLATION 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.
INSTALLATION 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.
A. ASupplies 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.
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.
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. The rate at which a job prints is the throughput speed and is measured in pages per minute (ppm).
SUPPLIES Table A-3. Throughput data: 180 printer Pitch Paper width Speed 8 7 to 7.4 in. / 178 to 188 mm 206 ppm 7 7.4 to 9.01 in. / 188 to 229 mm 180 ppm 6 9.01 to 10.19 in. / 229 to 259 mm 154 ppm 5 10.19 to 12.12 in. / 259 to 308 mm 128 ppm 4 12.12 to 15.31 in. / 308 to 389 mm 103 ppm 3 15.31 to 17 in. / 389 to 432 mm 77 ppm When the printing speed appears to degrade, you may be able to improve it by running the print job in a higher pitch mode.

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 5.7 percent.
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.
SUPPLIES Table A-4.Paper conditioning: Recommended temperature differences between storage and operating areas Temperature differences between storage and operating areas Fahrenheit 10o 15o 20o 25o 30o 40o 50o 8.5o 11o 13o 17o 22o 28o Centigrade 5.5o Cartons Hours 1 4 8 11 14 17 24 34 5 5 9 12 15 18 25 35 10 8 14 18 22 27 38 51 20 11 16 23 28 35 48 67 40 14 19 26 32 38 54 75 Example: (See the shaded rows in the table above.

DEFINING THE PRINTER TO THE HOST: TCP/IP ATTACHMENT OS/2 parameters This section describes the process and parameters to configure an OS/2 system to communicate with and print to your IPS printer using TCP/IP. This information applies both to Token Ring and Ethernet LANs. Software prerequisites – OS/2 In an OS/2 system, in order to print on a TCP/IP-attached IPS directly through PSF, you need the following software: • • • OS/2, Version 2.11 or higher PSF/2, Version 2.
DEFINING THE PRINTER TO THE HOST: TCP/IP ATTACHMENT Configuration steps – OS/2 This section describes the process for configuring a TCP/IP attached host computer with OS/2 to print on an IPDS printer such as your IPS. Configuration worksheet The following worksheet will help you in planning the IPS installation. It describes the key values which you need to supply when planning the OS/2 configuration. All values on this worksheet must be determined before you begin the printer configuration on the host.
DEFINING THE PRINTER TO THE HOST: TCP/IP ATTACHMENT 3. Define the printer to PSF/2 Follow these steps to define the IPS printer to PSF/2. 1. Select the Control Panel icon from the PSF/2 folder (located on the OS/2 Desktop). 2. From the Control Panel Main window, click on the Profile pulldown menu. 3. Select New from the Profile menu. The New device dialog window appears. 4. Enter all your new device parameter values in the fields that appear on this window. 5.

Your value 5. Ensure that the Device name selected on the Device list is the IPS printer you defined previously. 6. Select Setup. The printer queue is created on the OS/2 desktop.
DEFINING THE PRINTER TO THE HOST: TCP/IP ATTACHMENT If PSF/2 output for the IPS prints elsewhere: Follow these steps to determine whether the IP address of the printer is unique. 1. Power off the printer. 2. Wait at least five minutes for TCP/IP to clear the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) tables. 3. Enter the ping command again at the OS/2 system. 4. If you receive a successful response to the ping command this time, there is a duplicate IP address. Consult your network administrator.
DEFINING THE PRINTER TO THE HOST: TCP/IP ATTACHMENT • The OS/2 TCP/IP stack has been initialized (usually done during system bootup). The TCP/IP NETSTAT command has several options which may reveal network problems. • • The OS/2 queue is not in a “Hold” state. A data stream is arriving at the IPS. The IPS Printer Control Unit status on the IPS user interface screen should go from “idle” to “receiving” during reception of the data stream.
DEFINING THE PRINTER TO THE HOST: TCP/IP ATTACHMENT Table E-28.Components to check for printer performance problems – OS/2 (continued) Printer Ensure that the Maximum Transmission Unit size (MTU) is as large as possible. A small MTU size increases the number of packets that are transmitted, allowing greater chances of degradation throughout the network. Increasing the MTU size in both TCP/IP for OS/2 and the IPS printer may improve printer performance.

Glossary This glossary contains a list of terms for working with the Xerox DocuPrint 96/4635/180 printing systems, and a definition of each. A3 Paper size measuring 297 by 420 mm. A4 Paper size measuring 210 by 297 mm. American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) Standard 7-bit code which represents alphanumeric information. Each alphanumeric character and several nonprinting characters are assigned a binary number, covering 128 possible characters.
GLOSSARY binary digit (bit) In the binary numbering system, either of the characters 0 or 1. The bit is the basic unit of information with which a computer works. It can take the form of a magnetized spot, an electric pulse, a positive or negative charge, etc. A number of bits strung together represents a character to a computer. Multipliers are: 1 byte = 8 bits 1 kilobyte (KB) or 1,024 bytes = 8,192 bits 1 megabyte (MB) or 1,048,576 bytes = 8,388,608 bits. Computer space equivalents are: 1.
