DocuPrint printer.
Users create their documents at the networked client PCs or
workstations using software applications that generate either
PostScript, HP PCL 5e, or ASCII output. When ready to print, users
submit the documents to the Printer Controller.
The customer will need to supply a network:
•
Ethernet local area network (LAN) with Transmission Control
Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), AppleTalk, or Novell
NetWare 3.x network protocols
•
Token Ring with TCP/IP, AppleTalk, or Novell Netware 3.x
network protocols
•
FDDI Fiber-Optic backbone LAN with Transmission Control
Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) or Novell NetWare 3.x
network protocols.
DocuPrint NPS supports multiple network connectivity, that is, the
ability for protocols such as TCP/IP to run on more than one network
interface. Refer to the section “Multiple network connectivity.”
Note: Customers using Novell 4.1 must set the “Bindery Emulation
Mode” to be backward compatible with Novell 3.12.
DocuPrint NPS also provides support for SNMP, the Simple Network
Management Protocol. This agent allows the connection of SNMP
manager clients to DocuPrint NPS printers. Currently, the agent
supports the Xerox PrinterMap client. This allows the operator to
view printer status information (such as the amount of loaded paper)
from a client.
Xerox-supplied Printer Controller
1-2
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 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
can be used for tasks such as backing up files. The CD-ROM drive
allows you to install the Printer Controller software and fonts.
XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/4635/180 NPS SYSTEM OVERVIEW GUIDE
SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Xerox-supplied printer interface
The printer interface cable provides high-speed data transport and
communication between the Printer Controller and the printer.
Printer
The printer (also known as an IOT or print engine) accepts data from
the Printer Controller and prints the document according to the print
options specified by the user. The printer also provides paper
stacking and optional finishing.
DocuPrint Network Printing System
(NPS)
The entire DocuPrint Network Printing System includes the printer,
Printer Controller, printer interface, and all appropriate software.
“DocuPrint printer” or “printer” refers to the base printer engine (IOT)
only, without the Printer Controller and interface.
Note: It is your responsibility to supply, install, and maintain
hardware and software on any host, PC, DECStation, Sun
Workstation, HP/Apollo Workstation, IBM RS/6000 Workstation, or
Macintosh system used to generate documents for printing on the
DocuPrint printers. You are also responsible for obtaining, installing,
and maintaining the required Ethernet LAN, FDDI fiber-optic LAN or
Token Ring network, transceivers, and connecting cables.
Xerox is responsible for the physical installation and service of the
printer and Printer Controller hardware and software components.
You are generally responsible for ensuring that the right personnel,
supplies, and network hardware and software are available.
DocuPrint NPS can be configured with a modem to support Sixth
Sense remote dial-in capability. This allows service technicians to
access your system from a remote location. There are security
issues you may need to consider before installing the modem.
DocuPrint Dual Mode
Xerox DocuPrint Dual Mode option enables both DocuPrint NPS and
IPS systems to coexist on the same Printer Controller (Sun
SPARCstation). This allows the DocuPrint system to receive data
streams supported by NPS and IPS, including IPDS, PostScript
levels 1 and 2, HP PCL5e, and ASCII.
When the system is 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 it is in NPS mode, it
cannot accept IPDS data streams in the background.

2Printer Controller
This chapter describes the DocuPrint Printer Controller. It includes a
list of component hardware, software and fonts, and discusses the
key elements of software operation.
Printer Controller overview
The Printer Controller manages print options, provides the user
interface, and runs system management and diagnostic operations
on demand. The Printer Controller receives PostScript, HP PCL 5e,
HP PCL 5c for highlight color models, and ASCII files from the client
through an Ethernet, FDDI, or Token Ring network.
The Printer Controller detects which protocol is being used for a print
data file that is being sent. Print data can be sent through TCP/IP,
AppleTalk, or Novell NetWare packets.
Once the print data file has been received:
•
•
•
Print data is separated from print option parameters
Print data is stored on the Printer Controller fixed disk
Print options parameters are stored in the Job Pool Manager
(JPM) database.
The print data is stored on the fixed disk for queuing, for multiple copy
processing, or for recovering from system errors and printer faults.
The Job Pool Manager (JPM) maintains a database of all jobs. The
database contains a reference to the print data on the fixed disk, as
well as the print options parameters for the print data. Data in the
JPM database is scanned and sequenced for maximum efficiency.
The JPM responds to the Printer Controller commands that affect the
Job Pool, such as deleting, holding, or prioritizing jobs.
When the Printer Controller begins processing a job, it sends the
print data to the decomposer. The decomposer converts the print
data into a bitmap in the resolution appropriate to the printing device.
For a color job, one bitmap is created; the color spaces are
interleaved on a pixel basis.
The decomposer utilizes font data from font files stored on the Printer
Controller fixed disk or font information sent to the Printer Controller
with the print job.
When processed data comes back from the decomposer, the Printer
Controller Device Driver transmits the print data and print option
parameters to the printer and initiates printing.
XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/4635/180 NPS SYSTEM OVERVIEW GUIDE
2-1
PRINTER CONTROLLER
When the job has been printed successfully, the print data file is
deleted from the fixed disk. If there is an error at the printer (IOT) that
inhibits job completion, the Printer Controller manages the recovery
and completion of the job.
DocuPrint can manage the processing of multiple jobs and the
printing of another job simultaneously.
Printer Controller components
There are different Sun workstation models used for the Printer
Controller, depending on your system configuration. Printer
Controller components typically consist of the following hardware
and features described below.

logos, signatures, and fonts. With these DocuPrint NPS printers,
management information systems (MIS) and data processing (DP)
environments can have a high-performance, high-speed, PostScript,
and HP PCL compatible printer.
DocuPrint NPS model 96, 4635, and 180 printer components
The DocuPrint NPS systems each consist of a Printer Controller and
a printer. They accept print input created by client software in ASCII,
PostScript Level 2, or HP PCL5e formats. 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 components of the 4635 and 180 NPS base printer are shown in
Figure 3-1. The 96 NPS base printer has one inverter feeder/stacker
module, though an optional feeder/stacker module can be added as
shown.

Note: The DocuPrint MICR NPS models utilize the same hardware
and operating system as the non-MICR NPS models. However, the
Image Development systems have been modified to enable MICR
font reproduction.
Processor feeder trays
Two processor feeder trays are located in the main part of the printer:
•
The main tray (tray 1) holds up to 1100 sheets of 20 pound or
80 gsm (grams per square meter) paper.
•
The auxiliary tray (tray 2) holds up to 600 sheets of 20 pound or
80 gsm paper.
Each tray can handle paper from 8 x 10 inches/203 x 254 mm to 9.02
x 14.33 inches/230 x 364 mm.
7x10 inch (178x254mm) enablement
The optional 7 x 10 inch enablement feature allows your DocuPrint
4635 NPS and 180 NPS to print on paper sized from 7 x 10 inches/
178 x 254 mm to 9.02 x 14.33 inches/230 x 364 mm.
Note: The 7 x 10 inch enablement feature is not available on the
DocuPrint 96 NPS.
Inverter
The inverter is part of the inverter feeder/stacker module. It allows for
proper collation of the print job. It directs printed output to the sample
tray, when required. It also directs output to optional third-party
finishing devices in the proper orientation.
High-capacity feeder
There is a high-capacity feeder (HCF) tray located in the bottom half
of each feeder/stacker module (trays 3, 4, 5 and 6, depending on the
number of feeder/stacker modules installed).
Each HCF tray can hold up to 2600 sheets of 20 pound or 80 gsm
paper.
Note: When configured, each HCF tray can handle paper sized
from 7 x 10 inches/178 x 254 mm to 17 x 14.33 inches/432 x 364 mm.
To feed papers smaller than 8 inches/203.2 mm, an optional 7 x 10
inch enablement kit must be installed. 17-inch/432 mm paper can be
fed only short edge first.
An elevator moves the tray up or down when it is in use. The HCF
trays have Paper Level switches which detect the position of the
elevator to determine the fullness of the tray. Paper Size switches
detect the size of the paper loaded in the trays.
High-capacity stacker
3-2
The 4635 NPS and 180 NPS printers can contain up to four highcapacity stacker (HCS) bins as part of the feeder/stacker modules
(stacker bins A, B, C and D). The 96 NPS printer can contain up to
two high-capacity stacker (HCS) bins as part of the feeder/stacker
modules (stacker bins A and B).
XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/4635/180 NPS SYSTEM OVERVIEW GUIDE
PRINTERS
Figure 3-2.
High capacity stackers
Each HCS can hold 2500 sheets of 20 pound or 80 gsm paper
stacked on the bin platform.
Note: For large paper sizes such as 11 x 17 inches or A3, there is
a stack limit of about 1500 sheets. This limit is needed to keep the
total weight of the stack within safe limits for unloading and
lifting.
A stacking elevator maintains the paper at the proper level for
stacking and lowers the stack for unloading. There is an offset
mechanism that offsets printed sets toward the front or back of the
HCS bin. Each HCS bin has unlinked double doors to provide you
with easy, yet safe, access for unloading paper from the printer.
Purge tray
Attention light
The purge tray is located on top of the feeder/stacker module.
Aborted sheets (for example, damaged sheets or sheets cleared
after a paper jam) are sent to this tray. The purge tray can hold up to
100 sheets of paper.
An attention light is mounted on top of the inverter module. The
attention light signals when the printer requires operator attention:
•
•
Off. No printer problems exist that require your attention.
•
Flashing. The printer has stopped and requires your attention
immediately.
Steady light. A situation exists that needs your attention (such
as low dry ink condition).
Note: When the attention light starts flashing, an explanatory
message appears on the printer control console display. A similar
message appears on the printer controller screen.
Sample button
The Sample button on the 180, 4635, or 96 printer will duplicate one
of the sheets in the paper path and deliver it to the sample tray. This
sheet can be used to check quality and alignment while printing. The
button is disabled for MICR enabled printers.
Sample tray
The sample tray located on top of the printer holds up to 100 sheets
of paper. It receives output such as transparencies, sample prints or
system files, and waste sheets that cannot be sent to the purge tray.

PRINTERS
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 conditions, such as low toner. The
printer control console also contains buttons that allow you to control
certain functions of the printer, such as continuing an interrupted job,
without returning to the Printer 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.
•
Printer alarm consisting of three beeps, repeated for ten
seconds. The alarm is generated by any event that stops the
printer.
The alarm stops after three cycles or as soon as you start to clear the
fault condition (for example, when you open doors or covers
specified in the clearance instructions). You can stop the alarm by
pressing one of the printer control console buttons or by selecting a
function through the touch screen.

The Bypass Transport option enables you to add finishers to your
DocuPrint 96 NPS, 4635 NPS, or 180 NPS. Finishers increase your
production capabilities by providing a wide range of finishing choices,
such as stitching, shrink wrapping, and so on.
When connected to the feeder/stacker, the bypass transport enables
a finishing device to interface directly with your DocuPrint 96 NPS,
4635 NPS, or 180 NPS. The bypass transport meets the Xerox
Document Feeding and Finishing Architecture (DFA) Level 1
specifications.

5Client workstations
This chapter discusses the various client workstation configurations
and the processes that may be used to transfer data to the DocuPrint
for printing.
Workstations
Print data originates with a document created by the user at a client
workstation using an application software package, or at a
mainframe or minicomputer. The application allows users to create
and format a document according to their exact specifications.
The application software provides the capability to print the
document using a page description language (PDL). The application
produces print data in one of the supported page description
language formats, for example PostScript level 2.
Submitting print jobs
You can send print data directly from the application to the printer, or
you can create a PDL data file on the workstation. The method you
choose depends on the workstation configuration and the job
submission requirements.
Printing directly from the application (sometimes referred to as
“transparent printing”) may require fewer steps, but depending on the
application, this method may not support all available print options,
such as number of copies, simplex or duplex printing, and stitching.
Transparent printing is done using one of the Xerox print drivers, or
by using third-party drivers which may also use the Xerox PPD file for
your printer.
Using a print job submission program requires a second step in the
printing process. The user prints from the application to a PDL data
file, usually by specifying a print driver set to print to file. The user
then closes the document and uses one of the following methods to
submit the job and specify print options:
•
The lpr command provides options for submitting print jobs. The
functionality of the lpr command is dependent on the TCP/IP
software installed on the workstation.
•
Xerox Client Software provides a print command for submitting
jobs and specifying print options. The functionality of the print
command is dependent on the TCP/IP software installed on the
workstation.
•
Xerox DocuPrint Document Submission Client software for the
Macintosh provides a graphical user interface for submitting
jobs and specifying print options.
XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/4635/180 NPS SYSTEM OVERVIEW GUIDE
5-1
CLIENT WORKSTATIONS
•
Xerox DocuPrint Print Submission software for Windows 3.x,
Windows 95/98 and Windows NT provide graphical user
interfaces for submitting jobs and specifying print options.
In many cases, the workstation can be set up for more than one
method of job submission.
Communicating with the network
After the print data has been prepared for printing and combined with
print options data—either by the application software or by a print job
submission utility—the print job is sent over the network.
DocuPrint NPS supports TCP/IP, AppleTalk, and Novell NetWare
network communications protocols.
Client workstations require a network software utility that submits the
job using the appropriate network protocol. While this software must
be installed and running for jobs to be submitted successfully to
DocuPrint, once installed, its operation is transparent to the user.
Shown below are the workstations supported by DocuPrint NPS, and
the networking options and job submission methods available for
each client.

APaper and other supplies
This appendix provides information and specifications for the media
you use with your Xerox DocuPrint 96, 4635, or 180 printer.
Instructions for ordering supplies are also provided.
Consumable supplies (those that are depleted during operation of
the system), such as paper, dry ink, developer, fuser agent, etc.,
must be ordered for your printer. It is important that an adequate
supply of these items be on hand for installation, and that your supply
be maintained afterwards.
Paper and other 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:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Recommended weight and grade:
7 by 10 inches / 178 by 254 mm (with 7-inch kit option)
B5: 7.17 by 10.12 inches / 182 by 257 mm (with 7-inch option)
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.
XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/4635/180 NPS SYSTEM OVERVIEW GUIDE
A-1
PAPER AND OTHER SUPPLIES
Use paper within these parameters:
•
•
Lightest: 16-pound or 65 gsm bond
Heaviest: 110-pound or 200-gsm index.
Note: It is recommended that you use 24-pound paper with MICR
applications, or paper specified by your local banking regulatory
authority.
Characteristics
The paper stock should have the following characteristics:
•
Low moisture content (a paper-to-moisture ratio below 5.7
percent). Paper with higher moisture content may curl and jam.
•
•
•
•
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.
XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/4635/180 NPS SYSTEM OVERVIEW GUIDE
PAPER AND OTHER SUPPLIES
•
•
•
Perforated paper
Pre-cut or full tabs
Carbonless paper.
Note: The 96/4635/180 printer can print on precollated or ordered
stocks, including ordered tabs. However, jam recovery is not
supported with these stocks.
Paper width and printer performance
The width of the paper you use for your print job is directly related to
the rate at which the 96, 4635, and 180 printer can print a job. 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.”)

When the printing speed appears to degrade, you may be able to
improve it by running the print job in a higher pitch mode.
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:
A-4
•
Paper sizes smaller than 8 inches / 203 mm are supported only
when the optional 7-inch paper kit is installed on the printer.
•
The leading edge of any paper used in the printer cannot be
less than 10 inches / 254 mm long.

Using large paper sizes in 3-pitch mode:
Large paper sizes—widths of 15.31 to 17 inches / 389 to 432 mm—
are supported only in 3-pitch mode and must feed short edge first.
These paper sizes slow down the throughput speed (as shown in
tables above).
Note: The 96/4635/180 printer can support 14 by 17-inch / 356 by
432 mm, 20 pound or 80 gsm paper stock in 3-pitch mode. However,
printing performance is not guaranteed for all types of paper of this
size. Heavy (110-pound / 200 gsm) and light (16-pound / 60 gsm)
large papers can cause jams throughout the system and are not
recommended.

Currently, 14 inches / 356 mm is the maximum paper length
supported for long edge feeding (5 to 8 pitch mode). Any papers with
long edges greater than this (such as 11 by 17 inch / 279 by 432 mm
paper) must be loaded for short edge feeding (3 or 4 pitch mode).

Paper care
Once you have purchased your paper, you must be sure it is stored
and conditioned properly, so that it performs optimally in the printer
with a minimum of jams.
Storing paper
Paper has a tendency to curl under the heat that is present inside
xerographic equipment. To minimize the amount of curling, use
paper with low moisture content. Paper with excessive moisture
content has a tendency to jam because of the greater curl. The
maximum recommended moisture content is 5.7 percent.
Keep these points in mind when preparing your paper storage area:
•
Store paper in its own wrapper; do not leave it unwrapped or
where it can be damaged by dampness or heat.
•
•
•
Store paper on a flat surface and not on its side or edge.
•
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.

Figure A-10. Recommended temperature and humidity for paper
storage
Conditioning paper
Because temperature and humidity affect paper performance in the
printer, you need to condition paper before using it. To do this, store
paper for a specified length of time in the same type of environment
as your printer.
The length of time you should condition your paper depends on the
amount of paper and the difference between the storage and
operating temperatures.
Use the following chart to determine the length of time needed to
condition stacked cartons of paper.
Note: The numbers in the top two rows indicate the temperature
difference between the storage area and the operating environment,
not actual room temperatures.

PAPER AND OTHER SUPPLIES
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 96/4635/180 NPS SYSTEM OVERVIEW GUIDE
PAPER AND OTHER 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.

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

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 chapter 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.
Your Xerox sales representative can help you submit the initial order
of supplies needed for installation. These items include paper, dry
ink, MICR dry ink, fuser agent, developer, and MICR developer.
Once your printer volume is established, planning ahead and buying
Xerox supplies in quantity can save you money. Your Xerox supply
specialists can help you. There are two centers available to assist
you:
