The controller (monitor, processor, DVD drive, keyboard, mouse,
diskette drive, and cartridge tape drive) accepts the print job
from the host mainframe computer or network-connected client
workstation, converts the files into page images, and sends the
page images to the print engine. External 9-track and 18/36track tape drives can be used for resource loading and for offline
printing.
Xerox-supplied
printer
The printer (also known as the image output terminal [IOT] or
print engine) accepts page image data from the controller and
prints the document according to the print options specified by
the user. The printer also handles paper stacking, collating, and
optional finishing.
NOTE: It is the responsibility of the customer to supply, install,
and maintain hardware and software on any PC, Sun
workstation, or Macintosh workstation that is used to generate
documents for printing on the DocuPrint 100/115/135/155/180

Controller components and options
This chapter describes the components and options available for
the Xerox DocuPrint 100/115/135/155/180 EPS controller.
Controller overview
The controller receives data from a mainframe host or a
workstation client, processes the data, and sends it to the printer.
The controller also provides the printer with print data and
commands, and receives status information from the printer.
The controller consists of a high performance Sun workstation
processor running Solaris software. Also resident on the
controller is the DocuSP software, which manages all printing,
diagnostic, and administrative functions on the printing system.
The DocuSP software includes a full color graphical user
interface (GUI). Using the GUI, you set up and configure the
system, set up and implement system options, and manage print
jobs.
Accessing
DocuSP remotely
(Remote
Workflow)
Remote Workflow, a remote graphical user interface, is available
for installation from a CD. The remote GUI allows you to manage
your DocuSP-based printers from a single PC or Sun
workstation. You may set your preferences from the remote client
to disable or enable some or all connections.
Remote Workflow allows you to configure the printers that you
want to manage, and provides real time status of the printers.
You may switch between the printers that you are managing, but
you can display only one printer GUI at a time.
The Remote Workflow GUI looks and functions the same as the
local DocuSP GUI on the controller.

The printer control console is the color monitor located on top of
the printer. It displays messages and graphics that alert you to
paper jams and other fault and status conditions (such as low dry
ink). It also contains buttons that allow you to control certain
functions of the printer (for example, continuing an interrupted
job) without returning to the controller.
The printer control console has the following features:
•
Local controls and displays for jam clearance, loading
paper, unloading output, and diagnostics and service (used
by the service representative). Two types of messages are
displayed on the printer control 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 console screen. A tone sounds when you touch
one of these areas.
•
Attention alarm tone consisting of three beeps, repeated for
ten seconds. The alarm sounds for any event that stops the
printer and requires operator attention. The alarm may be
disabled by the operator.
The tone stops after three cycles, or when the fault condition
is cleared or clearing has started (for example, doors or
covers specified in the clearance instructions are opened).
You can stop the tone by pressing one of the printer control
console buttons or by selecting a function through the touch
screen.

Bypass transport option
The bypass transport option provides an interface between the
DocuPrint 100/115/135/155/180 EPS and your finishing
accessories. However, finishing devices require separate power
sources that are independent of the printing system.
The bypass transport option enables third party finishing devices
to interface directly with the printing system. The bypass
transport allows you to customize your printer for increased
efficiency and specialized applications involving finishing.
NOTE: A bypass transport must be installed for the printing
system to support a third party finishing device.
Function of the
bypass transport
Connected to the last feeder/stacker module, the bypass
transport moves paper from the stacker to a third party finisher
such as a stitcher, booklet maker, tape binder, and so on. By
making selections on the user interface windows, you can
program the printer to send output to the bypass transport, which
directs the output to the finishing equipment.
Paper stocks
supported on
bypass transport
The bypass transport accepts all paper stocks on which the
printer can print, and it accommodates simplex and duplex
printing.

You should consider the following factors when deciding where to
place the printer 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. In addition, 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.
For information on clearance space and other space planning
considerations, refer to the “Space planning guidelines” section
of this chapter. Contact your service representative if you have
questions not specifically addressed in this guide.

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.
Installation Planning Guide
6-15
Printer requirements and specifications
Before installation, you must consider the following:
•
Clearance space requirements where you intend to install the
printer
•
Recommended cable lengths and locations (refer to the
“System connections” chapter of this guide for more
information)
•
Delivery access requirements
•
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
NOTE: There must be a total of 50 inches / 126.9 cm of
clearance space in front of the printer.
Shared space between components
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 the controller or 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:
6-16
•
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.
Installation Planning Guide
Printer requirements and specifications
NOTE: Finishers that are attached to your bypass transport may
occupy shared space with Xerox equipment. However, they must
be removable to allow servicing of the printer feeders and
stackers. Consult with your Xerox representative to ensure all
the requirements are met.
Shared space configuration diagrams
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-toback position. This allows the printers to share the entire 36
inches /
91.4 cm of general service space.

2. Printer
Installation Planning Guide
6-17
Printer requirements and specifications
Face-to-face
shared space
The following figure shows the two printers facing each other.
The printers share 26 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 26 inches / 30.5 cm. This
allows for the entire operator space for each printer, plus the
shared general service area of
26 inches / 30.5 cm.

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.

Printer requirements and specifications
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 or below 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.

Using the turning
radius tables
To use the tables:
1. Measure the minimum width of the passage or doorway you
need to use. This is Passage A.
2. Find that number (or the next higher number) in the turning
radius table and read across to the corresponding minimum
value for Passage B, depending on the type of turn the
equipment must negotiate.
Turning radius for
printer with
separated
components
The printing system 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. Do not confuse these two
parts of the printer with the inverter and feeder/stacker modules,
which have their own turning requirements.
The following table lists the turning requirements for the printer

Installation Planning Guide
Printer requirements and specifications
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.
When determining your space requirements, remember to
consider all of the components you plan to have installed. If you
have a bypass transport or input enablement device option on
your printing system, you should contact the sales
representatives for the company from which you purchased your
finishers and feeders, as well as your Xerox representative, to
ensure that all of your space requirements are met.

System connections
This chapter provides cable requirements for your Xerox
DocuPrint 100/115/135/155/180 EPS. It also provides
information about channel-attaching your printer. To ensure all of
your cable requirements are met, 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.
Interface cable
Power cables
The printer and controller can be separated up to the length of
the interface cables that connect them. The printer and controller
are connected by a 20 foot / 6.1 meter cable, or an optional 50
foot / 15.2 meter cable.
The printing system power cable lengths 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.
Cable locations
To run the cables beneath the flooring, you must know where the
cables enter and exit the printer. The following diagrams shows
that location marked with an X.

Channel attachments
The Xerox DocuPrint 100/115/135/155/180 EPS conforms to
IBM standards and requirements for any channel-attached
printer. When you channel-attach your printing system, 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 / 3.8 m 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)

Installation
This chapter describes the activities performed by you and Xerox
personnel during the installation of the Xerox DocuPrint 100/115/
135/155/180 EPS 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 personnel are responsible for the physical installation of
the printing system hardware components and the software.
NOTE: For customers outside the United States, contact your
local Xerox 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
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 printer components.
In the United States, the steps in the installation process typically
occur in the following order:
1. Xerox personnel install all printer hardware and connects the
controller to your site’s network through the Ethernet
connector you supply. This process takes approximately four
hours if all the necessary network and electrical connectors
are in place.
2. Xerox personnel load software on the controller
(approximately 1.5 hours).
3. Xerox personnel download Xerox client software, if
applicable, on one client workstation to validate the
installation (15 minutes). Software is downloaded on another
client workstation as part of training conducted by your
systems analyst. All other client software installations are
your responsibility.
Installation Planning Guide
8-1
Installation
4. Xerox personnel test the system and run sample jobs (30
minutes).
5. Xerox personnel conduct initial operations training (four to six
hours).
6. Xerox personnel review preventive maintenance schedules
and service call procedures.
Your responsibilities
Xerox personnel are 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.
•
For software loading purposes, be prepared to provide Xerox
personnel with network information from the preinstallation
worksheets. Refer to the Getting Ready for Installation
manual for specifics regarding network information.
•
Designate two client workstations for downloading Xerox
client software if applicable: one for initial system validation
and another for use in operator training provided by your
systems analyst.
•
If your system will be connected to an IBM host through a
channel, provide the host channel address, channel unit
address, and data transfer mode.
•
If your system will be connected to an IBM host through
Socket TCP/IP, provide the host IP address and port number.
•
Check the documentation and software kits with their packing
lists for completeness.
•
Load Xerox client software on any additional client
workstations.
Remember that you are responsible for supplying, installing,
and maintaining your client workstations and the Ethernet
local area network (LAN) that connects them with the printing
system.
•

Have test jobs ready to run.
Installation Planning Guide
Installation
•
Have your operators available for training.
Refer to the installation planning checklist in the “Preparing for
installation” chapter of this guide for a complete list of
responsibilities.
Defining the printer to the host
Prior to installation of the printing system, your host system must
be configured to communicate with the Xerox DocuPrint 100/
115/135/155/180 EPS. This requires defining several parameters
to your host. The required information and configuration
procedures differ according to your connectivity type (channel or
TCP/IP), and your host environment. You will need to provide
these parameters to your Xerox representative on installation
day.
Software licensing
When you purchase a Xerox DocuPrint 100/115/135/155/180
EPS, you receive a license to use the operating system software.
This license is enabled by entering a 20-character alphanumeric
string at the controller. Your Xerox or service representative
obtains this license string for you and enters it when your printing
system is installed.
Ongoing maintenance
After the installation of your printing system, 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
Installation Planning Guide
8-3
Installation
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 fuser agent
•
Replacing the dry ink waste container
•
Cleaning sensors in the printer
•
Cleaning the exterior surfaces of the system
Step-by-step instructions on performing these routine
maintenance tasks are contained in the Operator Guide. You
need to decide how many operators will be responsible for
performing these maintenance tasks. Most maintenance
procedures are covered in the initial operator training provided
shortly after installation.
Meter reading and reporting
As print jobs are processed, the printing system 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 DocuPrint 100/115/135/155/180 EPS Operator Guide for
complete instructions on how to report meter readings.

A.
Supplies
This appendix provides information and specifications for media
used with your Xerox DocuPrint 100/115/135/155/180 EPS
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
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
The printer accepts the following standard size cut-sheet papers:

US Ledger/US Tabloid: 11 by 17 inches / 279 by 432 mm
•
A3: 11.69 by 16.54 inches / 297 by 420 mm
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:
Characteristics
•
Lightest: 16-pound (65 gsm) bond
•
Heaviest: 110-pound (200 gsm) index
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 (except 11 by 17-inch or A3 paper). 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.
Use only the processor feeding trays (trays 1 and 2) for
labels. Load labels in the tray with the label side up.
You can direct printed labels to any output tray. Be sure the
printed labels are stacked face up in the output tray, to avoid
ink offsetting and jams due to delamination.
A-2
Installation Planning Guide
Supplies
•
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
•
Pre-cut or full tabs
•
Carbonless paper
NOTE: The printer can print on precollated or ordered stocks,
including ordered tabs. However, jam recovery is not supported
with these stocks.
Paper sizing and print speed
The printer paper trays have edge guide sensors that detect
paper length and width. The system selects correct paper trays
for the print job based on the paper size specified in the job, as
follows:
•
If an exact match is found, the print job continues.
•
If an exact match is not found, the programmer can specify in
the job for the printer to either:
– Stop printing the job and print an error sheet
– Print the data on an oversized sheet.
If you encounter any problems related to paper sizing, contact
your lead operator, systems specialist, or service representative.

Supplies
Paper width and throughput speed (LCDS printing only)
The width of the paper you use for your LCDS print job is directly
related to the rate at which the printer can print the job. The rate
at which a job prints is called the “throughput speed” and is
measured in pages per minute (ppm).
NOTE: “Pages per minute” actually means “impressions per
minute,” referring to one side of a printed sheet.
A pitch is the amount time the printer takes to image a page on
the photoreceptor belt. The term “pitch mode” refers to the
number of pitches that can occur during one complete
photoreceptor revolution. The pitch mode in which a specific job
prints is based on the paper size used for that job.
The following tables list the pitch mode boundary values, paper
widths, and related printing speeds for the system. Notice that
the shorter the paper width, the higher the pitch mode and the
faster the throughput speed (higher page per minute rate).

Each time a job requires a different paper size that changes
across a pitch boundary, the system performs a time-consuming
xerographic quality adjustment. When the printing speed of an
LCDS job appears to degrade due to the use of mixed stock
sizes, you may be able to improve the speed by using the LCDS
OUTPUT command TMODE parameter in the JSL to run the
print job in a lower pitch mode. Refer to the OUTPUT TMODE
parameter in Using LCDS Print Description Language for
information on using this LCDS command.
Similarly, if the system cycles down frequently because your
external finishing equipment has a slower throughput rate than
the printing system, you can use the TMODE parameter of the
LCDS OUTPUT command to lower the pitch mode to match the
speed of the finishing equipment. This can improve overall
throughput by avoiding time-consuming cycle downs.
NOTE: Pitch mode changes are supported only for LCDS
printing.

Paper size and pitch mode minimum and maximum
The illustrations in this section show the pitch modes in which
you can operate with the smallest and largest size papers
supported by the printing system.
Using small paper
sizes in 8 pitch
mode
Printing in 8 pitch mode provides the highest throughput speed
available —up to 154 ppm for the DP135 printer and up to 206
ppm for the DP180 printer. (The DP100 printer does not support
8-pitch mode.) However, you should keep the following in mind
when you select the paper you want to use for this mode:
•
Paper sizes smaller than 8 inches / 203 mm in width are
supported only when the optional 7 inch Paper Kit is installed
on the printer.
•
The leading edge of any paper used in the printer cannot be
less than 10 inches / 254 mm long.
The following figure illustrates the maximum and minimum paper
sizes supported in 8 pitch mode.

edge first. These paper sizes slow down the throughput speed.
Therefore, a short edge feed job takes longer to print than a long
edge feed job.
NOTE: The system can support 14 by 17 inch / 356 by 432 mm,
20 pound or 80 gsm paper stock in 3 pitch mode. However,
printing performance is not guaranteed for all types of paper of
this size. Heavy (110 pound / 200 gsm) and light (16 pound / 60
gsm) weight papers can cause jams throughout the system, and
are not recommended.
The following figure illustrates the maximum and minimum paper
sizes supported in 3 pitch mode.

Currently, 14.33 inches / 364 mm is the maximum paper length
for which the system supports long edge feeding (5 to 8 pitch
mode). Any papers with long edges greater than this (such as 11
by 17 inch / 279 by 432 mm paper) must be loaded for short
edge feeding (3 or 4 pitch mode).

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.

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.
NOTE: The numbers in the top two rows indicate the
temperature difference between the storage area and the
operating environment, not actual room temperatures.
Use the following chart to determine the length of time needed to
condition stacked cartons of paper.

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.

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 black powder that forms the
image on the printed page. There are three cartridges of 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 60,000 pages. Use only dry ink
that is specified for use in the printer, as described in the
consumable supplies table.
MICR dry ink
MICR dry ink is the magnetic black powder which forms the
image on the printed MICR document. There are three
cartridges of MICR dry ink in each carton. The consumption rate
of Xerox MICR dry ink is approximately one cartridge per 60,000
pages. Use only MICR dry ink in your MICR printer.
The dry ink that is used with the DP 100/115/135/155/180 MICR
EPS is designed for MICR printing and does not function well
when used in non-MICR systems. The same procedure used for
non-MICR printing systems is used to add the dry ink to the 96/
4635/180 MICR printer.
NOTE: Dry ink (toner) yields are based on 7% area coverage.
Your yield may vary, depending on coverage.
CAUTION
Use only MICR dry ink in the DP 100/115/135/155/180 MICR
EPS printers. Do not use standard dry ink. MICR dry ink cannot
be reused.

Supplies
Fuser agent
Fuser agent (the lubricant for the printer fuser) is a consumable
item required by the printer. The consumption rate of Xerox fuser
agent is approximately one bottle per 250,000 pages. For
product information, refer to the consumable supplies table in
this appendix.
US only: You should keep at least two boxes (each box contains
one bottle) on hand for installation by the service representative.
Developer
Developer is not consumed by the printer but does have an
effective life of approximately 1,000,000 pages per carton
(600,000 per carton for MICR developer). Both kinds of
developer are guaranteed by Xerox for 600,000 pages per
carton. Developer is a required item and must be kept on hand.
Use only the developer specified for use in your printer.
CAUTION
The DP 100/115/135/155/180 MICR EPS printers require a
different developer, with a different part number, from the
developer used in the standard DP EPS printer. Be sure you use
only designated MICR developer in the MICR printers.
The developer is changed by your service representative. For
product information, refer to the consumable supplies table in
this appendix.
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.
Cartridge tapes
The quarter-inch cartridge (QIC) tape drive uses 150 MB and
8GB cartridge tapes.

Supplies
Stacker containers and pallets (optional)
Stacker containers can be placed inside the stacker bins to
receive and neatly stack large amounts of output. These optional
containers are available in a variety of sizes, accommodating
various standard U. S. and international paper sizes. Different
sized pallets for containerless stacking can also be ordered.
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
•
Standard fonts
•
Licensed fonts
•
Custom fonts
For PostScript printing, a library of 51 PostScript fonts is provided
with your printer’s operating system software.
For LCDS printing, over 250 standard 300 dpi fonts, referred to
as the AR03 font family is provided with your printer’s operating
system software.
Licensed fonts
Custom fonts
Receiving fonts
Additional fonts may be ordered from your local Xerox Font
Center.
Custom fonts and graphic images such as company logos and
signatures can be digitized by the Xerox Font Center for use on
your printer.
Fonts can be received on a diskette, various tape formats, or CDROM from your local Xerox Font Center.
LCDS fonts may also be sent to your system from an online host
computer through an IBM-compatible channel.

Supplies
MICR tools
You can use the following tools to determine whether the MICR
output is printing within MICR specifications:
•
MICR Positioning and Dimension Gauge.
•
8 Power (X) Comparator with MICR grid.
NOTE: You should use the Custom Transfer Assist Blade to
ensure acceptable MICR line quality on all MICR printing
systems that use nonstandard paper sizes.
MICR Positioning and Dimension Gauge
The MICR Positioning and Dimension Gauge (part number
600T80025) consists of a thin sheet of flexible plastic attached to
the bottom of a piece of hard thick plastic. The gauge is provided
in a kit that includes a small magnifying glass.
To use the gauge, place the printed output between the two
pieces of plastic. This allows you to compare the MICR output
elements against industry standard output. Using this process,
you can verify the character spacing, check the horizontal and
vertical alignment, and look for spots and voids.
MICR comparator
You use the eight power (X) comparator with MICR grid to
compare the characters on the MICR output to industry standard
output.
The comparator is an optical tool that magnifies each character
eight times. It has a built-in scale that measures the size of the
MICR characters and checks for spots and voids (deletions).
Keep the following in mind when using the 8 Power (X)
Comparator with MICR grid:
•
Patterned paper can cause viewing problems. You should
use white paper when you perform quality evaluations.
•
The quality of the MICR output may vary, depending on the
type of paper you use.
•
Handle the comparator with care. The grid is printed on the
bottom and may be damaged or worn off in time.
You can use the comparator with transmitted or reflected light.
