1Product overview
This chapter provides an overview of the features and functions of
the Xerox DocuPrint Model 92C NPS.
System overview
The DocuPrint system enables personal computer (PC), Sun
Workstation, DEC workstation, HP/Apollo, IBM RS/6000, and Apple
Macintosh users to print PostScript level 2, HP PCL5e, or ASCII
documents on a high-speed Xerox DocuPrint Model 92C NPS
printer.
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, 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.
XEROX DOCUPRINT NETWORK PRINTER SERIES INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE FOR MODEL 92C NPS

PRODUCT OVERVIEW
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.
•
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.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW
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.
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

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

CONTROLLER COMPONENTS AND OPTIONS
•
Cartridge tape drive: A 4 GB external SCSI quarter inch
cartridge (QIC) tape drive is an external device provided with
the printing system. The cartridge tape drive connects to the
controller through the SCSI port on the processor back panel.
Like the diskette and CD drives, this tape drive is not an input
source for print jobs or for any other data or application. You
use it to load resource files, and the service representative uses
it to load system maintenance files or to save diagnostic
information.

unexpected conditions.
Keyboard
The keyboard consists of alphanumeric keys similar to a typewriter,
symbols and special character keys, an extended character set, and
function keys. The keyboard is one of your main methods of
communicating with the printer. You can use the keyboard to make
selections, and to enter commands that control functions such as
requesting sample prints, obtaining billing meter totals, shutting down
the system, and so forth.

Mouse
The mouse is another main method of communicating with the
printer. The mouse has three buttons. The left and right buttons are
used to select NPS functions. The center button provides additional
functions that you will not be required to use. If your workstation has
an optical mouse, it must remain on its designated metallic pad to be
active. If the mouse has a roller ball instead of an optical sensor

XEROX DOCUPRINT NETWORK PRINTER SERIES INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE FOR MODEL 92C NPS
PRINTER COMPONENTS AND OPTIONS
Customer-changeable unit (CCU)
The customer-changeable unit (CCU) contains the replaceable
colored dry ink dispenser bottle and the color developer housing. It is
a self-contained unit that is easily removed from the printer and
stored until needed. Each bottle is uniquely coded to the color of the
housing to ensure that a wrong color is not added to a housing.
Note: Only the color housing can be changed. The black housing
is permanently installed in the printer; only its ink and developer
bottles are changed.
A changeout cart is used to remove a CCU from the printer and to
transport a CCU to the printer or to another area. Because of the
physical weight of the CCU, the cart is required to change colored dry
ink.
The cart also serves as a storage device for CCUs that are not
currently in use. For example, if you use both the red and blue inks
in your operation, one CCU is always out of the machine in storage
on the cart while the other CCU is installed.
Figure 3-6.
Changeout cart with CCU installed
Note: You should have a cart for each CCU, so that one cart is
always empty and available to remove the CCU installed in the
system. However, if your printer is used to print only one color—the
CCU will never be removed—or if there is more than one printer in
operation at your site, it may not be necessary to have one cart for
each CCU. Consult your site representative for more
information.

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

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

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

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 “Network
preinstallation checklist” table 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 this chapter and your Novell network NPS
administrator to assist you in completing the checklist in the “Network
preinstallation checklist” table.
The information you may need to provide is defined as follows:
Hostname
A unique name that designates a node on the network. 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, valid IP address for each TCP/IP
network to which the NPS is attached.
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 MODEL 92C NPS
4-7
PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION
IP broadcast address
Default router
Series of four integers between 0 and 255 separated by a period,
such as 255.255.255.0, to create an IP broadcast address. (Do not
use the IP address value.)
•
If you are on a TCP/IP network, assign a valid IP broadcast
address.
•
If you are not on a TCP/IP network, use the Xerox-supplied IP
broadcast address value (255.255.252.0), which is a plus (+)
sign.
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 your 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 your account. 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
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.

supporting Xerox clients on the network.
lpr and lpd
Indicate whether to enable client use of lpr and lpd job submission
and status commands.
UNIX command tool
Indicate whether to have a UNIX command tool available for use in
the background menu.
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 this chapter 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 process” section in 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 the queue name
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.

ETHERNET__802.2
ETHERNET__SNAP
TOKENRING
TOKENRING__SNAP
FDDI
FDDI__SNAP.
Choose a framing type used by the file server that communicates
with DocuPrint NPS. If you are using print server or remote printer,
and have the DocuPrint NPS communicate with a different machine
for each, then choose a framing type that is used by both of the
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

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

PRINTER SPECIFICATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS
Space planning guidelines
When determining your space requirements and planning for shared
space between your DocuPrint printers, it is important to consider all
of the components you plan to install.
To ensure all of the space requirements are met, it is important to
work with your Xerox representative.
Before installation, you must consider the following:
•
Clearance space requirements where you intend to install the
printing system
•
•
Delivery access requirements
•
Floor leveling.
Recommended cable lengths and locations (refer to the
“System connections” chapter of this guide for more
information)
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
•
24 inches / 61 cm of exclusive operator area in front of each
component.
78 inches / 198 cm of vertical clearance throughout the entire
area
Shared space
It is best to provide the full amount of clearance space around the
hardware components. Your environment may require you to use
shared space between components such as between the printer and
another Xerox printing system. You can share the 36-inch / 91.4 cm
clearance space around each component, as long as you follow
these rules:
•
•
Space may be shared only with other Xerox equipment.
•
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 may occupy
shared space with Xerox equipment. However, they must be
removable to allow servicing of the DocuPrint printer stackers.
Consult with your Xerox representatives to ensure all the
requirements are met.

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

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

This chapter provides cable requirements for your DocuPrint
Model 92C 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 long enough to meet the needs
of most installations. Some of these cables are specific lengths to
conform to engineering and safety standards.
Data cables
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 25-foot / 7.5 meter data cable.
Power cable lengths for the 60 Hz environment 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 Model 92C NPS
hardware and software components. Before installation can begin,
you must complete the tasks described in the “Preparing for
installation” chapter of this guide.
Installation process
Xerox is responsible for the physical installation of the DocuPrint
Model 92C NPS hardware components and the software.
For customers outside the United States, contact your local Xerox
representative or operating company for your specific installation
process.
The installation process can take one or several days to complete.
Equipment, software kits, and documentation kits may all arrive in
one day, or over the course of several days. When all of the
necessary items are in place, Xerox personnel will complete the
installation of the NPS components.
In the United States, the steps in the installation process typically
occur in the following order:
1. Xerox personnel installs all DocuPrint Model 92C NPS printer
hardware and connects the printer controller to your 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
Xerox DocuPrint Network Printer Series Guide to Configuring
and Managing the System for more information.
If your site uses third-party Transmission Control Protocol/
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) lpr networking software, refer to the
Xerox DocuPrint Network Printer Series Guide to Configuring
and Managing the System for information on modifying the
printcap file.
4. Xerox personnel test the system and run sample jobs (30
minutes).
XEROX DOCUPRINT NETWORK PRINTER SERIES INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE FOR MODEL 92C NPS
8-1
INSTALLATION
5. Xerox personnel conducts initial operations training (2 to 4
hours).
6. Xerox personnel reviews 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 “Setting up the work area” 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. You are also responsible for the
Ethernet, Token Ring, and FDDI connectors required for your
system.
•
•
Have test jobs ready to run.
Have your operators available for training.
Refer to the installation planning checklist in the “Setting up the work
area” chapter of this guide for a complete list of responsibilities.

XEROX DOCUPRINT NETWORK PRINTER SERIES INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE FOR MODEL 92C NPS
INSTALLATION
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 of 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 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 your 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 printer
Adding colored dry ink to your printer
Changing the CCU for colored dry ink in your printer
Adding fuser lubricant
Replacing the dry ink and developer waste containers
Cleaning the exterior surfaces of the system.
Step-by-step instructions for performing these tasks are contained in
your Guide to Performing Routine Maintenance. You need to decide
how many operators will be responsible for performing these tasks.
Most maintenance tasks are covered in the initial operator training
provided shortly after installation.
Note: Only operators who have completed the Xerox Advanced
Customer Training (ACT) or eXcellerate courses or equivalent
advanced customer training can replace stitcher wire. Refer to the
“Xerox support services” appendix of this guide for additional
information on training.
Meter reading and reporting
As print jobs are processed, the printer controller accumulates,
saves, and maintains usage data.
During the last five working days of each month, you need to review
and transmit the data to Xerox for billing purposes. Refer to your
Guide to Performing Routine Maintenance for complete instructions
on how to report meter readings.

A.
ASupplies
This appendix provides information and specifications for the media
you use with your Xerox DocuPrint Model 92C printer. Instructions for
ordering supplies are also provided.
Consumable supplies (those that are depleted during operation of
the system), such as paper, dry ink, developer, fuser agent, etc.,
must be ordered for your printer. It is important that an adequate
supply of these items be on hand for installation, and that your supply
be maintained afterwards.
Paper and other throughput stocks
The success of any print run is greatly dependent on the proper
selection, care, and handling of the stock used.
Selecting paper
You need to select your paper carefully. If you do not use the proper
paper, you increase the probability of paper jams and misfeeds. The
stocks you use must meet the specifications set forth by Xerox for
operability in the printer. For additional information about paper
specifications, refer to Helpful Facts about Paper, delivered with your
printer.
Acceptable paper stocks and sizes
Your DocuPrint Model 92C printer accepts the following standard
size cut-sheet papers:
•
•
•
Recommended weight and grade:
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
Use a good quality, xerographic-grade paper. For best results, use
paper that is 20-pound or 80 gsm (grams per square meter) bond,
xerographic grade. Xerox 4024 Dual Purpose Paper provides optimal
performance in the printer. Refer to the consumable supplies table,
later in this appendix.
Use paper within these parameters:
•
•
Lightest: 20-pound or 80 gsm bond
Heaviest: 110-pound or 200 gsm index.

SUPPLIES
Characteristics
The paper stock should have the following characteristics:
•
Low moisture content (a paper-to-moisture ratio below 5.7
percent). Paper with higher moisture content may curl and jam.
•
•
•
•
Smooth surface
Moisture-resistant wrapping
No defects (bent edges, uneven surfaces)
Grain long (parallel with the long side of paper).
Paper is usually fed into the printer with the long side as the
leading edge. When you purchase paper, buy long-grain paper.
Make sure the grain is parallel with the long side (long-grain) for
the most reliable feeding and stacking.
Special stocks
Following are some guidelines for choosing and using special
materials:
•
Labels — Must be the type designed for high-speed printers
and must meet the specifications described in the section
above. Loading instructions are printed on all paper trays.
Load labels with the label side up. You can direct them to any
output tray.
•
Transparencies — Must be the type designed for high-speed
printers and must meet the specifications described in the
section above. Loading instructions are printed on all paper
trays.
Load transparencies with the opaque strip to the right. All
printed transparencies are delivered to the sample tray.
As long as they meet your printer’s paper specifications, you
can also use:
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.
•
Perforated paper
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.
XEROX DOCUPRINT NETWORK PRINTER SERIES INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE FOR MODEL 92C NPS
SUPPLIES
Paper care
Once you have purchased your paper, you must be sure it is stored
and conditioned properly, so that it performs optimally in the printer
with a minimum of jams.
Storing paper
Paper has a tendency to curl under the heat that is present inside
xerographic equipment. To minimize the amount of curling, use
paper with low moisture content. Paper with excessive moisture
content has a tendency to jam because of the greater curl. The
maximum recommended moisture content is 5.7 percent.
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.

Conditioning paper
Recommended temperature and humidity for paper
storage
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.

Other supplies
This section describes the supplies other than paper that are
necessary for installation and afterward. Your sales representative
will help you place your initial supply order.
Dry ink
Dry ink (also called toner) is the powder which forms the image on
the printed page. There are six cartridges of black dry ink or three
cartridges of colored dry ink in each carton. You should keep at least
one extra cartridge on hand at all times. The disposable cartridges
are easily changed with no mess. The consumption rate of Xerox dry
ink is approximately one cartridge per 30,000 pages for black dry ink
and 86,500 pages for colored dry ink. Use only dry ink that is
specified for use in the DocuPrint Model 92C printer, as described in
the consumable supplies table.
Note: Dry ink (toner) yields are based on 5% area coverage for
black dry ink and 1.5% area coverage for colored dry ink. Your yield
may vary, depending on coverage.
Fuser lubricant
Fuser lubricant is a consumable item required by the printer. You
should keep at least two boxes (each box contains two tubes) on
hand for installation by the service representative. The consumption
rate of Xerox fuser lubricant is approximately one tube per 120,000
pages. For product information, refer to the consumable supplies
table in this appendix.
Developer
Developer is not consumed by the printer but does have an effective
life of approximately 300,000 pages per bottle, guaranteed by Xerox.
Developer is a required item and must be kept on hand.
Use only the developer specified for use in your DocuPrint Model
92C printer.

Stitcher wire
Stitcher wire is a consumable item for a printer equipped with the
stitcher/stacker option. You need to order stitcher wire reels and
keep them on hand. They are installed by the service representative
or operators who have completed the Advanced Customer Training
(ACT) or eXcellerate courses offered by Xerox.
Diskettes
Diskettes are optional items that provide loading and backup of fonts,
forms, and user files to and from the printing system. The processor
accepts 3.5-inch, 1.44 MB, double-sided, high density diskettes.
Tapes
The optional 4 mm cartridge tape drive uses 5 GB or 8 GB tapes.
The 1/4-inch QIC tape drive uses quarter-inch stream cartridge
tapes. The tape data capacity should be 320/525 MB. Tape density
is critical. The QIC drive can read low density tapes, but to write
reliably requires tape with 21,000 Flux Transitions Per Inch (FTPI).
The FTPI figure is usually listed on the cartridge.

Ordering supplies
To avoid unnecessary downtime, always have an adequate amount
of the necessary supplies. To do this, you need to establish a
procedure for checking and ordering supplies. A supplies checklist is
provided at the end of this appendix to help you with this task. It lists
the supplies needed for the printer and contains a column for you to
enter the date when you want to place the order and a column to
record the date of the actual order. The consumable supplies table,
above, contains a list of Xerox supplies available for the printer.
It is important that you check your supplies regularly and order before
you run out. Plan on approximately five working days for delivery
after placing the order. You can make arrangements to receive them
sooner in emergency situations.

DDocuPrint NPS on a Novell
network
This appendix 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.

D-1
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:
•
•
•
Add or remove the following:
—
definitions of file servers serviced by the print server
—
definitions of print queues serviced by the print server
—
definitions of printers for a print server
—
print servers
—
users
—
jobs to and from a queue
—
queues
View or change job information
Check or change queue status.
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.
D-2
XEROX DOCUPRINT NETWORK PRINTER SERIES INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE FOR MODEL 92C NPS
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

DOCUPRINT NPS ON A NOVELL NETWORK
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.
•
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 RPRINTERSs are associated
with DocuPrint NPS virtual printers. There can be up to sixteen
RPRINTERs on the Novell file server. The RPRINTER does not have
access to the queue or the data for a job in the queue. The
RPRINTER configuration allows for multiple queues to provide
access to the attributes of the associated virtual printers.

DOCUPRINT NPS ON A NOVELL NETWORK
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 can’t 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.
•
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 can’t understand
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.
XEROX DOCUPRINT NETWORK PRINTER SERIES INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE FOR MODEL 92C NPS
D-5
DOCUPRINT NPS ON A NOVELL NETWORK
•
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.
The following table lists the differences between DocuPrint NPS as a
print server or as a remote printer.

Supporting DocuPrint NPS on the 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.
•
D-10
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.
XEROX DOCUPRINT NETWORK PRINTER SERIES INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE FOR MODEL 92C NPS
DOCUPRINT NPS ON A NOVELL NETWORK
•
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 Novell 3.12 file
servers. However, to run DocuPrint NPS with Novell 4.X servers, the
Novell server must be configured to Bindery Emulation.

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.
