PRODUCT OVERVIEW
One or more of the following network communication systems may
be used to transport documents from the client workstation to the
printer:
•
Ethernet local area network (LAN) running Transmission
Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), AppleTalk, or
Novell NetWare network protocol software.
•
Token Ring running TCP/IP, Novell 3.x, or AppleTalk network
protocol software.
•
Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) running TCP/IP, Novell
3.x, or Apple Talk network protocols. The FDDI supports a
Single Connection configuration only.
Multiple network devices may be installed on the same NPS
controller. The default network device that ships with your NPS
controller is a 100 Mbit Ethernet connection. You may install other
network devices by installing additional network cards, provided each
card has a unique network to which it connects. For example, if you
use a Token Ring network connection, you have the option of using
the default Ethernet device as a secondary network.
If you choose to install multiple network devices on your NPS
controller, the following parameters apply:
•
You must select a primary network device and designate any
others as secondary. The primary network device does not
have to be the default Ethernet device that ships with your
controller; it can be any of the network devices installed.
•
You must run the TCP/IP protocol on the primary network
device. You may also run TCP/IP on other network devices. For
each network device running TCP/IP, you must specify a unique
IP address and IP netmask. For the primary network device,
you must specify the HostName and router IP address. The
HostName for any secondary devices is created from the name
chosen for the primary device.
Note: You may not use the NPS controller as an IP router.
Consequently, the router IP address must be on the primary
network devices network only.
1-2
•
You may run the AppleTalk protocol on only one network device.
The network device on which AppleTalk is run does not have to
be the primary network device.
•
You may run Novell protocols on only the primary network
device.

Customer-supplied client PC or
workstation
Customer-supplied network
Xerox-supplied printer controller
Users create their documents at the networked client PCs or
workstations using software applications that generate PostScript
Levels 1 and 2, VIPP (Variable Data Intelligent PostScript Print
Ware), HP PCL 5c, HP PCL5e, or ASCII output. When ready to print,
users submit the documents to the printer controller.
The customer will need to supply one or more of the following
networks:
•
Ethernet local area network (LAN) running TCP/IP, AppleTalk,
or Novell NetWare network protocol
•
Token Ring running TCP/IP, Novell, or AppleTalk network
protocol software.
•
Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) running TCP/IP, Novell
3.x, or Apple Talk network protocols. The FDDI supports a
Single Connection configuration only.
The printer controller (color monitor, processor, CD-ROM drive,
keyboard, mouse, and optional cartridge tape drive) accepts the print
job from the client workstation, converts the files into page images,
and sends the page images to the printer. The user interface at the
printer controller allows you to perform tasks such as monitoring job
status, prioritizing jobs, and configuring the system. The optional
cartridge tape drive is used for tasks such as backing up files. The

transceivers, and connecting cables.
The DocuPrint 96/4635/180 NPS and 96/4635/180 MICR NPS
consist of a printer controller and a printer. They accept print input
created by client software in PostScript Levels 1 and 2, VIPP
(Variable Data Intelligent PostScript Print Ware), HP PCL 5c,
HP PCL5e, or ASCII. This print input is passed to the printer
controller through an Ethernet, Token Ring, or FDDI connection. The
printer controller accepts the print job from the client workstation,
converts the files into page images, and sends the page images to
the printer.
The DocuPrint 4635 NPS and 4635 MICR NPS print data at a rate of
up to 135 pages per minute, or up to 154 pages per minute with the
smaller, 7 by 10 inch (178 by 254 mm) paper used with the optional
7 by 10 inch enablement feature.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Ethernet LAN
Users of networked client workstations may send print jobs to the
DocuPrint NPS printer over the Ethernet LAN using TCP/IP,
AppleTalk using EtherTalk Link Access Protocol (ELAP), or Novell
NetWare 3.1x as the network protocol.
Regardless of printing or transmission protocol, the Ethernet
connection to the printer controller must be compatible with the
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.3
standard.
Token Ring
Users of network client workstations may send print jobs to the
DocuPrint NPS printer over Token Ring network using TCP/IP,
Novell 3.x, or AppleTalk network protocol.
Regardless of printing transmission protocol, the Token Ring
connection to the printer controller must be compatible with the
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.5
standard.
Fiber Distributed Data Interface
TCP/IP, Novell 3.x, and Apple Talk network protocols are supported
over FDDI. The FDDI supports a Single Connection configuration
only.
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.
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.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW
MICR printing features
The DocuPrint 96 MICR NPS, 4635 MICR NPS, and 180 MICR NPS
produce a Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR) line on
negotiable and turnaround documents such as checks and bills. The
MICR printing system prints 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. The magnetic
encoding capabilities can be used for any printed output.
The following illustrates a check printed with a MICR line in U.S.
format. The entire MICR line, which consists of numbers and
characters (called symbols), is printed using magnetic ink.
Figure 1-2.
Example of a check printed with MICR line (U. S.)
The 96 MICR, 4635 MICR, and 180 MICR NPS meet ABA standards
and ANSI and ISO specifications for automatic check handling. They
print the variable data and the MICR line at the same time. This
single-pass printing capability reduces processing time and costs.
Unsupported features
The DocuPrint 96 MICR, 4635 MICR, and 180 MICR NPS do not
support the security and audit feature or bar code reading. In
addition, although the Line Thickening selection and the Virtual
Printer Imaging parameters are available when you use MICR, it is
not recommended that you use these features when printing MICR
documents as they corrupt the MICR line.
In general, all print quality adjustments and enhancement settings
should be set at the nominal settings when printing MICR output.

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. (Refer
to your local Xerox sales representative for further information.)
To take advantage of Sixth Sense, the customer needs to:
•
•
•
•
Request Sixth Sense enablement through Xerox Service
Provide an analog phone line
Provide a 120V outlet in which to plug a modem
If necessary, purchase an optional phone share device.
More information about Sixth Sense can be found in the Xerox

PRINTER COMPONENTS AND OPTIONS
Refer to the System Overview manual for a detailed description of
the features and operation of the printer components.
Printer control console
The printer control console is the color monitor located on top of the
printer. It contains message areas and graphic displays that alert you
to paper jams and other fault and status conditions (such as low dry
ink). It also contains buttons which allow you to control certain
functions of the printer (for example, continuing an interrupted job)
without returning to the workstation controller.
The printer control console has the following features:
•
Local controls and displays for jam clearance, paper loading/
unloading, and diagnostics/service (used by the service
representative). Two types of messages are displayed on the
printer 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 printer control 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 is generated by 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.

PRINTER COMPONENTS AND OPTIONS
Printer options
The bypass transport and input enablement options provide an
interface between your DocuPrint system and your finishing and
feeding accessories. However, these feeding and finishing options
require separate AC and DC power sources that are independent of
your printer.
Consult your Xerox sales representative, as well as the sales
representative of the company from which you purchased your
finishing and feeding equipment, for specific electrical and space
requirements.
Bypass transport
The ability to add a third-party finisher to your DocuPrint system is
made possible by the bypass transport option. Finishers increase
your production capabilities by providing a wide variety of finishing
choices (for example, slitting, booklet making, binding, and so forth).
Connected to the feeder/stacker, the bypass transport allows
finishers to interface directly with your DocuPrint system. It accepts
all paper stocks within the DocuPrint 96/4635/180 range and
accommodates simplex and duplex printing.

PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION
NPS network installation checklist
The DocuPrint NPS system is installed and configured by your
service representative. The service representative needs certain
information about your network environment to complete the
DocuPrint printer controller software installation. Use the
preinstallation checklist later in this chapter to gather the necessary
information for the installation.
Some of the items in the checklist may not apply to your environment.
Fill in those items that you know may apply, and refer to your network
administrator for information, if necessary.
Note: If you are installing the DocuPrint NPS in a Novell NetWare
environment, refer to the “DocuPrint NPS on a Novell network”
appendix of this guide. In addition, ask your Novell network NPS
administrator to assist you in completing the checklist in the
preinstallation checklist table in this guide.
The information you may need to provide is defined as follows:
Hostname
You may use up to 32 characters: upper and lower case alpha (a-z
and A-Z), integers (0-9), and hyphens (-). The name you choose may
be the same as the printer name.
IP address
Series of four integers between 0 and 255 separated by a period,
such as 192.9.200.1, to create an IP address for the DocuPrint
system. (Do not use all zeros or designate 255 for all integers when
assigning an IP address.)
•
You must assign a unique IP address to each NPS controller
connected to a TCP/IP network.
Note: To avoid routing problems that will slow down the
controller, the IP addresses you assign must belong on different
TCP/IP subnets, as determined by the IP subnet netmask.
•
IP netmask
If you are not on a TCP/IP network, use the Xerox-supplied IP
address value (192.9.200.1), or the IP address value assigned
by your network administrator.
Series of four integers between 0 and 255 separated by a period,
such as 255.255.255.0 to create an IP netmask. (Do not use all zeros
or designate 255 for all integers when assigning an IP netmask, and
do not use the IP address value.)
•
•
If you are on a TCP/IP network, assign a valid IP netmask.
If you are not on a TCP/IP network and you used the Xeroxsupplied IP address value (192.9.200.1), use 255.255.255.0 for
the IP netmask.
XEROX DOCUPRINT NETWORK PRINTER SERIES INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE FOR MODELS 96/4635/180 NPS
4-7
PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION
Default router
Series of four integers between 0 and 255 separated by a period,
such as 188.9.234.1, to specify a default router. Most TCP/IP
networks broadcast routing information.
Caution: Specify a default router only if your network does not
specify broadcast routing information.
Superuser password
(UNIX root password)
•
If the TCP/IP network does not broadcast routing information,
specify an IP address of an existing router that is on the same
subnet as the DocuPrint
•
If you are not on a TCP/IP network, specify the default of
NONE.
Select a password to prevent unauthorized access to the superuser
account. You can select a series of any ASCII characters, except
those that your UNIX system interprets in a special way. Passwords
have no limits on the number of characters, but the system uses only
the first eight characters to administer password security. The
password selection you make is case sensitive to the system.
Caution: Select a password that cannot be easily obtained by
others to avoid unauthorized access to the system. This is not the
same password used for Operator or Administrator functions.
AppleTalk network information
If the DocuPrint NPS is installed in an AppleTalk network
environment, indicate whether your AppleTalk network is phase 1 or
2. Also, indicate the AppleTalk zone name you want the DocuPrint to
locate. The zone name must be the same name as the existing zone
used on the network to which the DocuPrint is attached. In addition,
you must specify the network device on which AppleTalk runs.
Note: Do not use the ampersand “&” in the zone name to avoid
conflict with UNIX expressions. If the ampersand character must be
used, enter “\\&” instead.
Accounting information
Xerox client software
4-8
Indicate whether to set an interval on the system to automatically
purge accounting information. If accounting information is not purged
manually or automatically, the system disk can reach storage limits.
To keep your system running at optimum speed, you need to
periodically purge accounting data.
Indicate whether you have Xerox client software installed, and are
supporting Xerox clients on the network.
lpr
Indicate whether to enable client use of lpr job submission and status
commands.
UNIX command tool
Indicate whether to have a UNIX command tool available for use in
the background menu.
XEROX DOCUPRINT NETWORK PRINTER SERIES INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE FOR MODELS 96/4635/180 NPS
PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION
Retry count
Determine whether the DocuPrint NPS system supports a print
production environment, or whether the system remains unattended.
Once you determine the environment the DocuPrint NPS supports,
you must decide the number of attempts the system makes to print a
job before a sequencer restart causes the job to be held for
intervention.
•
If the DocuPrint NPS supports a print production environment,
you may want to specify a large number or zero as the number
of attempts the system makes to retry a print job. (Zero
indicates an infinite number of retries.)
•
If the DocuPrint NPS is unattended, you may want to specify
only 1 or 2 retries to print a job.
Novell network information
The Novell network information you provide to your service
representative is based on whether you configure the DocuPrint as a
print server or a remote printer. Refer to the “DocuPrint NPS on a
Novell network” appendix of this guide and your Novell network
administrator for assistance, if necessary.
DocuPrint as a print server (PSERVER)
Provide the following information to the service representative if you
configure DocuPrint NPS as a print server on the Novell network (for
further information, refer to the “Installation” chapter of this guide):
•
Novell file server name—indicates the name of the file server
that the DocuPrint NPS services. The file server must have the
appropriate print server definition and the queue to be serviced.
•
Print server name—indicates the name used by the DocuPrint
NPS print server. A print server definition with this name must
exist on the file server that the DocuPrint NPS services. A
single printer (type Remote Other/Unknown) must be defined
for this print server and the queue (refer to “Queue name to
service” below).
•
Password for the print server—refers to a password you may
have added in the print server definition (using PCONSOLE). It
is not necessary to add a password to a print server, and there
is no default password.
•
Queue name to service—refers to the name of the queue from
which the DocuPrint print server accepts jobs. The queue must
be defined on the file server that the DocuPrint NPS services.
The single printer that must be defined for the print server (as
stated above) must also be defined to service the specified
queue.
•
Form names—distinct form names for DocuPrint NPS that map
to the DocuPrint virtual printer names.
XEROX DOCUPRINT NETWORK PRINTER SERIES INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE FOR MODELS 96/4635/180 NPS
4-9
PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION
DocuPrint NPS as a remote printer (RPRINTER)
Provide the following information to the service representative if you
configure DocuPrint NPS as a remote printer on the Novell network
(for further information, refer to the “Installation” chapter of this
guide):
•
Novell print server name—indicates the name of the print
server to which the DocuPrint will connect. An advertising print
server with this name must be running on the Novell internet.
•
Printer name(s) to service—refers to the name(s) of the printers
defined for the Novell print server. Virtual printers should be
defined with these names after DocuPrint NPS installation is
complete. These printers should be defined as type Remote
Other/Unknown.
IPX internal network number
Specify the network number for the internal IPX network in the
DocuPrint server. This number must be globally unique within the
NetWare internet to which the DocuPrint NPS is connected. (Do not
assign a number that is used by other machines to which the
DocuPrint NPS will be connected.)
LAN network number
Specify the network number for the cabling system to which the
DocuPrint NPS is connected, for example the Ethernet or Token Ring
segment.
Network framing type
Specify the network framing type used for IPX/SPX communication
by DocuPrint NPS. There are eight options:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
ETHERNET__II
ETHERNET__802.3
ETHERNET__802.2
ETHERNET__SNAP
TOKENRING
TOKENRING__SNAP
FDDI
FDDI__SNAP.
Choose a framing type that is used by the file server that
communicates with the DocuPrint NPS. You must make sure that
you specify only one framing type, as multiple framing types are not
supported. Therefore, when you are using print server and remote
printer, and have the DocuPrint NPS communicate with a different
machine for each, you must select a framing type that works with
both machines.
If you are installing a new Novell network using Ethernet, it is
recommended that you choose the ETHERNET__II framing type for
the file server and the DocuPrint NPS. If you are using Token Ring
and the Novell server has both TOKENRING and
TOKENRING__SNAP enabled, use TOKENRING on the DocuPrint
NPS. For FDDI networks running Novell, it is recommended that you
choose the FDDI framing type.
TCP/IP, Novell 3.x, and AppleTalk network protocols are supported
over FDDI. The FDDI supports a Single Connection configuration
only.

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

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.
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
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 printer 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:
•
•
Space may be shared only with other Xerox equipment.
•
There must be 78 inches / 198 cm of vertical clearance
throughout the entire area.
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.
Note: Finishers attached to your bypass transport and feeders
attached to your DocuPrint 4635, 96, or 180 printer through the input
enablement device may occupy shared space with Xerox equipment.
However, they must be removable to allow servicing of the DocuPrint

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.

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.
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 unit 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 stairs?
•
•
•
Is the elevator large enough for the equipment?
Do you have an elevator, if the equipment is to be located above
the first floor?
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 prior to, or at the time of, 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.

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.

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. 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
without the PHM (separated).

PRINTER SPECIFICATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS
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.

7System connections
This chapter provides cable requirements for your 96/4635/180 NPS
system. 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 of sufficient length to meet the
needs of most installations. Some of these cables are specific
lengths to conform to engineering and safety standards.
Data cables
Power 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 20-foot / 6.1 meter data cable.
The 96/4635/180 power cable lengths are as follows:
Table 7-1.

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.

8Installation
This chapter describes the activities performed by you and Xerox
during the installation of the Xerox DocuPrint 96/96 MICR NPS,
4635/4635 MICR NPS, and 180/180 MICR NPS, and 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 96/96 MICR,
4635/4635 MICR, or 180/180 MICR NPS hardware components and
the software.
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 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 NPS components.
In the United States, the steps in the installation process typically
occur in the following order:
1. Xerox personnel installs all DocuPrint NPS printer hardware
and connects the printer controller to your site’s network
through the Ethernet, Token Ring, and FDDI connector you
supply. This process takes approximately four hours if all the
necessary network and electrical connectors are in place.
2. Xerox personnel loads printer controller software on the printer
controller (approximately 1.5 hours).
3. Xerox personnel downloads 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. Refer to the
Guide to Configuring and Managing the System for more
information.
4. If your site uses third-party Transmission Control Protocol/
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) lpr networking software, refer to the
Guide to Configuring and Managing the System for information
on modifying the printcap file.
5. Xerox personnel test the system and run sample jobs (30
minutes).
6. Xerox personnel conduct initial operations training (2 to 4
hours).

INSTALLATION
7. Xerox personnel review preventive maintenance schedules and
service call procedures.
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.
•
For software loading purposes, be prepared to provide Xerox
personnel with network information from the preinstallation
checklist. Refer to the “Preparing for installation” chapter of this
guide 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.
•
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 Token Ring
network or Ethernet local area network (LAN) that connects
them with the printer controller.
•
•
Have test jobs ready to run.
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.

Software licensing
When an NPS 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
NPS software license text stream”).
This license is enabled by entering a 20-character authorization text
string at the printer controller keyboard. Your Xerox or service
representative obtains this license text string for you and enters it
when your NPS is installed.
Until this license string is entered, your NPS 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 NPS 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 NPS Authorization
Enablement from the Administration pulldown menu on the NPS
main window. Refer to the NPS 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.

INSTALLATION
Ongoing maintenance
After the installation of your Xerox DocuPrint NPS, 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 NPS
Adding MICR dry ink to your 96/4635/180 MICR NPS
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 Guide to Performing Routine Maintenance.
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.
Note: Only operators who have completed the Xerox ACT course
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.

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.
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 96, 4635 or 180 printer accepts the following standard size cutsheet 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
B4 (European): 9.84 by 13.89 inches / 250 by 353 mm
JIS B4 (Japanese): 10.12 by 14.33 inches / 257 by 364 mm
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.

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.
•
•
•
•
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.
•
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:
A-2
•
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 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). You will want to keep in mind the following
information on the relationship of paper width to printer performance,
when selecting paper for your applications.
The printer operates in different pitch modes. The pitch mode the
printer uses for a specific print job is based on the paper size on
which that job is printed. The following tables list the pitch mode
boundary values, paper widths, and related printing speeds
supported on the 96/4635/180 printer. These charts show that the
shorter the paper width, the higher the pitch mode and the faster the
throughput speed—higher pages per minute (ppm) rate. (“Pages per
minute” is synonymous with “impressions per minute.”)

Paper size/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 96/4635/180 printer.
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 4635 printer and up to 206 ppm for
the 180 printer. (The 96 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 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.
•
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.
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.
For more detailed information on paper for Xerox printers, refer to
Helpful Facts about Paper, provided with your printer.

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.
Use the following chart to determine the length of time needed to
condition stacked cartons of 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 which 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 96,
4635, or 180 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 96/4635/180 MICR printer.
The dry ink used with the 96/4635/180 MICR system 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 96/4635/180 MICR printer.
Do not use standard dry ink. MICR dry ink cannot be reused.
Fuser agent
Fuser agent (the lubricant for the printer fuser) is a consumable item
required by the 96/4635/180 printers. You should keep at least two
boxes (each box contains one bottle) on hand for installation by the
service representative. 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.
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.
A-12
XEROX DOCUPRINT NETWORK PRINTER SERIES INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE FOR MODELS 96/4635/180 NPS
SUPPLIES
Use only the developer specified for use in your 96, 4635,or 180
printer.
Caution: The 96/4635/180 MICR printers require a different
developer, with a different part number, from the developer used in
the standard 96/4635/180 printer. Be sure you use only designated
MICR developer in the 96/4635/180 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 optional 4 mm cartridge tape drive uses 5 GB or 8 GB tapes. The
optional quarter-inch cartridge (QIC) tape drive uses 150 MB QIC
tapes.
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.

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.

DDocuPrint NPS on a Novell
network
This chapter provides a brief overview of Novell NetWare, and
describes some of the considerations you must make before the
service representative installs DocuPrint NPS on a Novell network.
Novell NetWare overview
In a Novell network, clients who connect to the file server, are
authenticated, and maintain an open connection. Communication is
through the file server and not client-to-device. Communications are
typically on an Ethernet or Token Ring LAN.
Novell NetWare software receives and queues print jobs. It assigns
priorities to incoming jobs and tracks information about each job. It
sends print jobs to the printer, and contains a series of utilities and
menus to set up, manage, and manipulate print queues.
DocuPrint NPS supports Novell NetWare versions 3.11 and 3.12.
Note: Customers using Novell 4.1 must set the Bindery Emulation
Mode to be compatible with Novell 3.12.
Print queues
A print queue is a holding area on the file server where print jobs are
stored until a printer is ready. A queue allows multiple users to send
jobs to the same printer at the same time. The queue software
accepts and tracks jobs to enable users to view, remove, and change
values of jobs while they are in the queue.
Each queue has a directory on a hard disk. A print job sent to a queue
is stored as a file within that directory. Once the job is printed, the file
is removed from the queue directory.
The print queue software maintains a temporary record of
information for every print job. The information includes such items
as job number, job position in the queue, time the job entered the
queue, print server designated to print the job, user ID of the person
who submitted the job, and so on. The user can access this
information or cancel a job, using PCONSOLE, for each queue.
XEROX DOCUPRINT NETWORK PRINTER SERIES INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE FOR MODELS 96/4635/180 NPS

DOCUPRINT NPS ON A NOVELL NETWORK
Queue to printer relationships
Novell NetWare allows for flexibility in setting up different printing
configurations. Multiple queues and printers can be associated in
different ways to meet different needs, such as the following:
•
•
•
•
One queue to one printer
Multiple queues to one printer
One queue to many printers
Multiple queues to multiple printers.
PCONSOLE
PCONSOLE is the main Novell utility used for creating, viewing and
managing print queues. When you create a queue with PCONSOLE,
the Novell software sets up the queue directory and a bindery entry.
The bindery is the database of all users, groups, and other defined
entities on the NetWare file server.
Note: There is no PCONSOLE access at the DocuPrint NPS
printer controller.
You can perform the following tasks using PCONSOLE:

A user or operator can change job values or delete a job while it is
still in the Novell queue, and before DocuPrint NPS starts to receive
it. If the user has deleted the job after DocuPrint NPS begins to
receive it, DocuPrint receives the delete action and attempts to
cancel the job. Cancellation may fail and the job will partially or
completely print.

DOCUPRINT NPS ON A NOVELL NETWORK
Print server (PSERVER)
A Novell print server (PSERVER) is a combination of hardware and
software that takes ready-to-print jobs from the print queue and
sends them to the printer. The print server software is the link
between the print queue and the printer (either local or remote). Only
one print server can be running on the file server. Each print server
can service up to 16 printers. A print server can also run on a
dedicated machine that is not running as a file server.
Note: Although Novell PSERVER can support multiple queues on
multiple file servers, DocuPrint NPS PSERVER does not. It supports
one queue on one file server only.
The print server software scans the print queues to which it is
assigned looking for jobs that are ready to print. When it obtains a job
from a queue, the print server sends the data to the DocuPrint NPS
through an NCP/IPX connection. Once the job is sent to the printer,
the job is deleted from the print queue, and the file removed from the
queue directory.

Job parameters
The following job parameters are affected when the DocuPrint NPS
is configured as a PSERVER:
•
•
•
•
Job description is used as the document name
•
•
ElideHeaders is set to TRUE if you disable banner
Copies is used to set the number of copies
Sender name is set from the user name
Message is sent to the user when the job finishes printing or is
canceled, if you set the Notify flag
Form name is used to specify the virtual printer.
Using Novell forms to specify virtual printers
Novell allows the user to specify a form that has a name, number,
length and width.
DocuPrint NPS uses Novell form names to specify virtual printers.

DOCUPRINT NPS ON A NOVELL NETWORK
•
If a Novell user wishes to access a given virtual printer, a form
with the same name as the virtual printer must be defined by
the NetWare administrator. The user must specify that form for
the job.
•
The Novell system administrator must create form names to
match the names of DocuPrint NPS virtual printers.
•
The form name can have a maximum of twelve characters, and
the first character must be alphabetic.
If a form name is not used, a virtual printer with the same name as
the queue is used.
Forms are defined on the Novell server using the Novell PRINTDEF
program. (Use a prefix such as “DP” to distinguish them from other
form names.)
Note: DocuPrint NPS is not using a form in the Novell sense. It
reads the name field of the form specified, and interprets it as a
DocuPrint virtual printer. None of the form attributes other than name
is read.
Remote printer (RPRINTER)
A Novell remote printer workstation (DocuPrint NPS printer
controller) is a vehicle for the print server to move print data to a
printer that is not directly connected to the print server. The remote
printer software runs on a workstation that connects to a remote
printer through a parallel or serial port.
The remote printer software communicates with a print server
running print server software. The print server services jobs from the
print queue and sends the data over the network through a SPX
connection to the RPRINTER. The RPRINTERs are associated with
DocuPrint NPS virtual printers. There can be up to sixteen
RPRINTERs on the Novell file server.

DocuPrint NPS as a print server or as a remote printer
Before installing DocuPrint NPS on a Novell network, first determine
whether you want the DocuPrint to function as a print server or a
remote printer.
Choosing a Print Server or Remote Printer Configuration
The following contrasts the Print Server (PSERVER) configuration
with the Remote Printer (RPRINTER) configuration for your
DocuPrint NPS.
•
The PSERVER configuration uses a licensed connection to a
File Server. The RPRINTER configuration connects to a Print
Server, and does not require a regular client connection.
•
Using the PSERVER configuration, DocuPrint NPS can obtain
job attributes from the Novell Queue.
Note: The RPRINTER configuration cannot do this, and this
leads to some irregularities, such as no job and submitter
names, as well as an inability to select duplex through the
submission interface.
XEROX DOCUPRINT NETWORK PRINTER SERIES INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE FOR MODELS 96/4635/180 NPS
D-5
DOCUPRINT NPS ON A NOVELL NETWORK
•
The setting of the Novell banner pages switch operates
successfully using PSERVER (this toggles the ElideHeader
attribute).
If Banner Page is requested with RPRINTER, DocuPrint NPS
prints a Novell-generated ASCII banner page as the first page
of a job, and will print the entire job as an ASCII file (500 pages
could be generated when requesting a banner page regardless
of the actual file contents.)
•
With PSERVER, multiple copies are requested as a job
attribute; DocuPrint NPS receives only one copy and prints
multiple copies.
With RPRINTER, since most remote printers cannot process a
request for multiple copies, the Print Server will send the job
multiple times to print multiple copies, tying up network and
DocuPrint NPS resources as the file is processed.
•
With PSERVER, a DocuPrint NPS can receive jobs from only
one print queue on one File Server, but users can submit jobs to
different DocuPrint NPS virtual printers using Novell forms. The
administrator uses the PRINTDEF program to create forms with
the same name as DocuPrint NPS virtual printers. Users then
select a virtual printer by selecting a form with the same name
using the User Tools program in the NetWare Tools folder of
Windows, or the -F option in the DOS CAPTURE command.
With RPRINTER, the Print Server can direct jobs to different
virtual printers, from multiple queues, possibly on multiple file
servers.
•
The PSERVER configuration allows the submitter to determine
when printing is complete. Jobs are retained in the Novell
queue until DocuPrint NPS completes printing them. This may
fill up the queue in some environments.
The RPRINTER configuration informs the submitter only when
the job has been submitted, even though it may print days later.
•
PSERVER requires that unencrypted login is enabled on the
Novell File Server, to which PSERVER connects. Regular
Novell clients will still use encrypted passwords.
RPRINTER does not require that unencrypted logins be
permitted.

Supporting DocuPrint NPS on a file server
There are a number of tasks you perform on the file server to support
the DocuPrint NPS as either a print server or a remote printer:
•
With DocuPrint NPS as a PSERVER you must allow
unencrypted password login on the file server. Enter the
following command at the file server console prompt and in the
AUTOEXEC.NCF file:
set allow unencrypted passwords=on
Note: Set this command even if you do not establish a print
server password. Novell clients that use encrypted passwords
are unaffected by this change and will continue to use encrypted
passwords.
•
Do not configure the file server to support IPX checksums or
NCP packet signatures. Set these options to equal 0 or 1 so
that the server performs these options only when the client
requests them. The default value is 1.
•
Do not set the watchdog interval to less than one minute.
Longer intervals may cause the DocuPrint NPS to be logged
out.
•
If the print queue contains 250 jobs on a regular basis, set the
Maximum File Locks Per Connection to a value greater than
250. The default value is 250.
•
Define forms using PRINTDEF with names matching virtual
printer names. Applies only if DocuPrint NPS is configured as
an RPRINTER.)
Note: DocuPrint NPS supports native connection to Novel 3.12 file
servers. However, to run DocuPrint NPS with Novell 4.X servers, the
Novell server must be configured to run Bindery Emulation.

system resources become available.
batch
Method by which bodies of data are accumulated and grouped by
kind before processing.
batch processing
Allows for repetitive operations to be performed sequentially on
batched data without much involvement of the computer operator.
baud
Measurement of data rate in bits per second. This term is used to
describe information flow between two devices. Unit of data
transmitting/receiving speed is roughly equal to a single bit per
second. Common baud rates are 110, 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, and
9600.
binary
Numbering system based on 2 rather than 10 and containing only the
symbols 0 and 1. Binary is especially well suited for use in computers
and related devices since information can be represented with
electric pulses (0=off, 1=on). Most computer calculations are binary.

GLOSSARY-1
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:
1.5 KB = about 1 single-spaced typed page
30 KB = about 20 typed pages
150 KB = about 100 typed pages
bitmap
Electronic definition of an image, comprised of a matrix of picture
elements (pixels or dots), where a bit value of one means that the
picture element is imaged, and a bit value of zero means that the
picture element is not imaged. The number of picture elements in a
square area is a function of the display device resolution.
bit mapped
Display image generated bit by bit for each point or dot. A softwaredriven scanner is used to create characters and/or graphics.
bits per second (bps)
blocking
Process of combining two or more records into a single block of data
which can then be moved, operated upon, stored, etc., as a single
unit by the computer.
block length
Number of characters or bytes contained in a block of data (the block
is treated as a unit within the computer). Block length is usually
invariable within a system and may be specified in units such as
records, words, computer words, or characters.
boot
To load a program’s initial instructions of a program into the
computer’s memory. These instructions then direct the loading of the
rest of the program. Booting may require entry of a few commands at
the keyboard or the flip of a switch to begin the process.
break page
buffer
bypass transport
GLOSSARY-2
In serial communication, the instantaneous bit speed with which a
device or channel transmits a character.
See header page
Compartment of memory in which data is stored during transfer from
one device to another. Useful for (1) accumulating data into blocks
before storage or processing, and (2) for adjusting differences of
speed between devices, or between a device and a communicating
facility.
