The entire DocuPrint NPS/IPS system includes the printer (also known as an IOT or print engine), 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.
Xerox-supplied printer controller
The printer controller includes a processor, DVD-ROM (or CD-
ROM) drive, diskette drive, keyboard, mouse, and a monitor. The printer controller accepts the print job from the client workstation or host, 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.
Xerox-supplied printer interface
The printer interface cables provide high-speed data transport and communication between the printer controller and the printer.
Xerox-supplied
DocuPrint printer
The printer accepts data from the printer controller and prints the document according to the print options specified by the user.
The printer also provides optional paper stacking and collating.
Connectivity configurations
The NPS/IPS can process network PDL and IPDS jobs concurrently.
To support the submission of jobs from a variety of hosts, configuration possibilities include:
• The same Token Ring or Ethernet connection can be used for both IPDS and Postscript/PCL.
• Both a Token Ring card and an Ethernet card can reside in the Sun workstation controller, with one being used for IPDS and the other for PostScript/PCL.
Installation Planning Guide 1-3
System overview
• Bus and tag attachment through the channel interface board or through the Host Channel Unit (HCU) can be used for
IPDS jobs from a channel-attached host; Token Ring or
Ethernet connection can be used for jobs submitted over the network.
NPS/IPS concurrent printing
The Xerox NPS/IPS can receive a variety of data streams including IPDS, PostScript Levels 1 and 2, PCL 5e, TIFF, and
ASCII. The system automatically senses the type of job and processes it appropriately.
When your system is printing IPDS jobs, it can accept network
PDL data streams in the background. When network PDL jobs are printing, only one IPDS job can be queued.

• MVS
Installation Planning Guide 1-5
System overview
• VM (channel-attached only)
• VSE (channel-attached only)
• OS/2
• OS/400 (with TCP/IP only)
• AIX
NOTE: Although PSF/VSE does not support TCP/IP directly, a printing system with PSF/2, PSF/6000, or InfoPrint Manager can attach to a PSF/VSE system and the PSF/2, PSF/6000, or
InfoPrint Manager can furnish the TCP/IP support for the printer.
NOTE: There is no minimum host operating system software level required. The minimum PSF level needed to support full color is v.3.2.
The NPS/IPS can be set up to receive data from the IBM host in one of two ways:
• Through a bus and tag channel connection.
NOTE: If your system will be channel-attached, the printer controller requires an additional component—either a channel interface board and channel cable connector box, or a Host Channel Unit (HCU) that serves as an interface between the IBM host and the printer controller.
• Through a Token Ring or Ethernet interface using TCP/IP.
NOTE: Your system supports only one other connectivity option in addition to Ethernet. For example, Ethernet and channel connection or Ethernet and Token Ring.
NOTE: A transmission rate of at least 16 megabits per second should be used with a Token Ring interface. (Overall performance depends on network traffic and job density.)

Customersupplied client PC or workstation
Users create their documents at the networked client PCs or workstations using software applications that generate PDL output. When ready to print, users submit the documents to the printer controller.
Customersupplied network
The customer needs to supply one or more of the following networks:
1-10 Installation Planning Guide
System overview
• Ethernet local area network (LAN) running TCP/IP, AppleTalk, or Novell NetWare network protocol.
• Token Ring running TCP/IP, Novell, or AppleTalk network protocol.
Networks
Both network client workstations and the IBM host can communicate with the controller over a network.
Ethernet LAN
Users of networked client workstations may send print jobs to the
DocuPrint NPS/IPS 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 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.
Multiple network devices
Multiple network devices may be installed on the same controller.
The default network device that ships with your 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 controller, the following parameters apply:
Installation Planning Guide 1-11
System overview
• 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 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.
Network client components
To send print jobs to the NPS/IPS printer, the customer needs to provide the proper client hardware as well as operating system and network software.
Supported client hardware and operating systems
Xerox NPS/IPS supports the following types of networked client workstations and operating systems:
– Sun workstation running a Sun or Linux operating system
– PC running MS-DOS 6.2 and Microsoft Windows 95, 98,
NT, 4.0, 2000, and ME using Ethernet with TCP/IP or
Novell NetWare 3.11 and 3.12.
NOTE: Customers using Novell 4.1 must set the “Bindery
Emulation Mode” to be backwards compatible with Novell
3.11 and 3.12.
• IBM RS/6000 running IBM AIX, version 4.1
• HP/Apollo running HP-UX, version 10.01
• DECStation 5000/200 running DEC Ultrix, version 4.3
1-12 Installation Planning Guide
System overview
• Apple Macintosh, System 7.x or 8.x, using AppleTalk through
EtherTalk, phase 1 or 2
• Any system that supports RFC-1179 lpr/lpd
NPS/IPS software may be compatible with workstation models and software versions other than those listed above.
Client networking software
TCP/IP networking software, Novell, or Apple Macintosh Printer
Access Protocol (PAP) networking software must be installed on your client workstations. This software provides network communuication with the printer controller, which allows you to submit print jobs and check job status.
To submit jobs, you need a driver, a job submission client like
XDS or the Xerox client software, or lpr capability.
NOTE: The printing options available to a client user vary according to the networking software loaded on the client workstation.
For additional information on submitting jobs from a client workstation, refer to the Guide to Submitting Jobs from the
Client.
Responsibilities
It is your responsibility to supply, install, and maintain hardware and software on any PC, Unix 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 or Token Ring network, transceivers, cables, and connectors.
Xerox is responsible for the physical installation and service of the printer and printer controller hardware and software components. You have the general responsibility for the site of ensuring that the right personnel, supplies, and that network hardware and software is available. Refer to the “Preparing for installation” chapter of this guide for a detailed description of the shared responsibilities of the customer and of Xerox.

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.
To take advantage of Sixth Sense, the customer needs to:
• Request Sixth Sense enablement through Xerox Service
• Provide an analog phone line
• If necessary, purchase an optional phone share device.
More information about the Sixth Sense can be found in the
Troubleshooting Guide for your system.

4. Paper Level indicators
These indicators display the approximate quantity of paper within the tray. The display shows paper by quarter reams up to one ream, and then by full reams. The green indicator light appears above the Paper Level indicator which shows the amount of paper in the tray.
7 by 10 inch /
178 by 254 mm enablement
The optional 7 by 10 inch enablement feature allows your
DocuPrint 4635 and 180 NPS/IPS to print on paper sized from 7 by 10 inches / 178 by 254 mm to 9.02 by 14.33 inches/
230 by 364 mm.
NOTE: The 7 by 10 inch enablement feature is not available on the DocuPrint 96 NPS/IPS.
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.
Installation Planning Guide 3-3
Printer components and options
NOTE: When configured, each HCF tray can handle paper sized from 7 by 10 inches / 178 by 254 mm to 17 by 14.33 inches / 432 by 364 mm. To feed papers smaller than 8 inches / 203.2 mm, an optional 7 by 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
The 4635 and 180 NPS/IPS 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/IPS printer can contain up to two high-capacity stacker (HCS) bins as part of the feeder/stacker modules (stacker bins A and B).
3-4
Figure 3-3. 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 by 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.
Installation Planning Guide
Figure 3-4. High-capacity stacker bin control panel
1. Ready to Unload indicator
When this indicator glows, you can remove printed sheets from the stacker bin.
2. Please Wait indicator
When this indicator glows, the elevator is in motion. This indicator goes off when the platform reaches its destination.
3. Bin Unload button
Pressing this button causes the bin elevator to lower. If the bin is in use and is part of a STACKER GROUP combination, the printed pages begin stacking in the other stacker bin. If the bin is not in use, there is no effect on printing operations.
Ifthis is the only bin in a STACKER GROUP, printing will stop.
4. In Use indicator
When this indicator glows, the bin is selected to receive the next printed sheet.
Purge tray 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.
Attention light 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.
• Steady light: A situation exists that needs your attention
(such as low dry ink condition).
• Flashing: The printer has stopped and requires your attention immediately.
Installation Planning Guide 3-5
Printer components and options
NOTE: When the attention light starts flashing, an explanatory message appears on the printer console display. A similar message appears on the printer controller screen.
Sample button The Sample button on the 180, 4635, or 96 printer duplicates one of the sheets in the paper path and delivers it to the sample tray. This sheet can be used to check quality and alignment while printing. The button is disabled for MICR 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.
Printer console The printer 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 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 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 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 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 console buttons or by selecting a function through the touch screen.

4-8 Installation Planning Guide
NPS/IPS network installation checklist
The DocuPrint NPS/IPS 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/IPS in a Novell
NetWare environment, refer to this chapter and your Novell network NPS/IPS 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/IPS 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.
• 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.
IP netmask 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.)
Installation Planning Guide 4-9
Preparing for installation
• 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.
IP broadcast address
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.
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.
• 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.
Superuser password
(UNIX root password)
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.
4-10 Installation Planning Guide
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/IPS 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
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.
Xerox client software
Indicate whether you have Xerox client software installed, and are 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/IPS system supports a print production environment, or whether the system remains unattended. Once you determine the environment the DocuPrint
NPS/IPS 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/IPS 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.)
Installation Planning Guide 4-11
Preparing for installation
• If the DocuPrint NPS/IPS is unattended, you may want to specify only one or two 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/IPS 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/IPS 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/IPS print server. A print server definition with this name must exist on the file server that the DocuPrint
NPS/IPS 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/IPS 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/IPS that map to the DocuPrint virtual printer names.
4-12 Installation Planning Guide
DocuPrint NPS/IPS as a remote printer (RPRINTER)
Provide the following information to the service representative if you configure DocuPrint NPS/IPS as a remote printer on the
Novell network (for further information, refer to the “Installation process” section in the “Installation” chapter of this guide):
• Novell print server name: Indicates the name of the print server to which the DocuPrint NPS/IPS will connect. An advertising print server with this name must be running on the Novell internet.
• Printer names to service: Refers to the name or names of the printers defined for the Novell print server. Virtual printers should be defined with these names after DocuPrint NPS/IPS 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/IPS is connected. (Do not assign a number that is used by other machines to which the DocuPrint NPS/IPS will be connected.)

Installation Planning Guide 4-13
Preparing for installation
Choose a framing type used by the file server that communicates with DocuPrint NPS/IPS. If you are using print server or remote printer, and have the DocuPrint NPS/IPS 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/IPS. If you are using
Token Ring and the Novell server has both TOKENRING and
TOKEN RING_SNAP enabled, use TOKENRING on the
DocuPrint NPS/IPS. For FDDI networks running Novell, it is recommended that you choose the FDDI framing type.

Bypass transport specifications
The bypass transport option enables you to add a third-party finishing device to your 96, 4635, or 180 printer. The bypass transport is installed by your service representative and remains permanently in place. You should not attempt to remove or reinstall it. The following is supported by the bypass transport:
• Paper size and weight: You can use all of the paper sizes and weights supported on the 96/4635/180 in the bypass transport.
• Sheet exit orientation: 1 to N (the same order in which sheets are fed from the printer), delivered face down.
• Maximum throughput speed: The bypass transport for the
96 and 135 printer supports throughput speeds of up to 139 ppm (pages per minute). The 180 bypass transport supports speeds up to 180 ppm. (These rates are based on stocks up to 9 by 14.33 / 229 by 364 mm in length.)
• Sheet exit height: 34 inches / 86 cm above the floor.

Space planning guidelines
When determining your space requirements and planning for shared space between your printers, it is important to consider all of the components you plan to install.
To ensure all of the space requirements are met, it is important to work with your Xerox representative.
Installation Planning Guide 6-19
Printer specifications and requirements
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
• 24 inches / 61 cm of exclusive operator area in front of each component
• 78 inches / 198 cm of vertical clearance throughout the entire area.
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.
• Components may share the 36-inch / 91.4 cm general service clearance areas, but they may not share the 24-inch /
61 cm operator area in front of each component.
• There must be 78 inches / 198 cm of vertical clearance throughout the entire area.
6-20 Installation Planning Guide
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 4635, 96, or 180 printer feeders and stackers.
Consult with your Xerox representative to ensure all the requirements are met.
The following figures illustrate three possible configurations of shared space.
Back-to-back shared space
The figure below illustrates the two printers placed in a back-toback position. This allows them to share the entire 36 inches /
91.4 cm of general service space.
Figure 6-14. Back-to-back shared service area space
1. Operator area
2. Printer
Installation Planning Guide 6-21
Printer specifications and requirements
Face-to-face shared space
The following figure shows the two printers facing each other.
The printers share 12 inches / 30.5 cm of the general service space, but not the exclusive operator area in front of each printer.
Therefore, the printers should be separated by 24 inches / 61 cm, plus 24 inches / 61 cm, plus 12 inches / 30.5 cm. This allows for the entire operator space for each printer, plus the shared general service area of 12 inches / 30.5 cm.
6-22

1. Operator area
2. Printer
Installation Planning Guide
Face-to-back shared space
The following figure shows the two printers arranged with one facing the back of the other. Between them is 60 inches / 152.4 cm of space. This allows for 24 inches / 61 cm of operator space in front of the printer facing toward the other, plus 36 inches /
91.4 cm of service space behind the printer facing away from the other.
Figure 6-16. Face-to-back shared space
1. Operator area
2. Printer
Installation Planning Guide 6-23
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?
• 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 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.
6-24 Installation Planning Guide
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
Using the turning radius tables
To use the tables:
1. Measure the minimum width of the passage or doorway you need to use. This is Passage A.
2. Find that number (or the next higher number) in the turning radius table and read across to the corresponding minimum value for Passage B, depending on the type of turn the equipment must negotiate.
Turning radius for printer with separated components
The 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).

6-30 Installation Planning Guide
Space planning templates
The dimensions and space requirements for your printer components are provided earlier in this chapter. The space planning templates are designed to simplify the space planning process by helping you to create a floor plan for your base components, particularly if you have shared clearance space.
The easiest way to use the space planning templates is to move the templates around on the grid located at the end of this section and determine the optimum placement for your printer components. Make sure to consider other pieces of equipment, such as cabinets, tables, and optional equipment when planning your space. Your customer support representative can help you plan space for additional components.
The templates are to scale with the grid; each square is equal to
12 by 12 inches/30.5 by 30.5 cm. The curved dotted lines in the corners of the space perimeters indicate the corners that may be rounded off while still maintaining the required clearance space.
There are a number of factors to keep in mind when planning your site, including the following:
• Clearance space requirements
• Cable length.
Refer to these sections in this manual when considering the various factors involved in planning the appropriate location for your printing system.
When determining your space requirements, remember to consider all of the components you plan to have installed. If you have a bypass transport or input enablement device option on your printing system, you should contact the sales representatives for the company from which you purchased your finishers and feeders, as well as your Xerox representative, to ensure that all of your space requirements are met.

System connections
This chapter provides cable requirements for your 96/4635/180 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 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.
Power cables The 96/4635/180 power cable lengths are as follows:
Table 7-1. Power cable lengths

15 feet / 4.4 m
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.

Installation
This chapter describes the activities performed by you and Xerox during the installation of the Xerox DocuPrint 96/4635/180 NPS/
IPS and Xerox DocuPrint 96/4635/180 MICR NPS/IPS 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
NPS/IPS 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 DocuPrint NPS/IPS components.
In the United States, the steps in the installation process typically occur in the following order:
1. Xerox personnel installs all NPS/IPS 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 places the system online.
3. Xerox personnel loads printer controller software on the
Printer Controller (approximately 1.5 hours).
Installation Planning Guide 8-1
Installation
4. 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 NPS/IPS
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 NPS/IPS Guide to Configuring and
Managing the System for information on modifying the printcap file.
5. Xerox personnel tests the system and runs sample jobs (30 minutes).
6. Xerox personnel conducts initial operations training (2 to 4 hours).
7. 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.
8-2 Installation Planning Guide
• 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 the necessary parameters defined to configure PSF for connectivity to your IPS printer.
• Have list of stocks you want used for your default input tray configuration.
• Have your operators available for training.
• Sysgen your host to print to an AFP1-type printer. Refer to the IBM ITSC Distributing AFP Printing from a Host System
(#GG24-4493) documentation for further information.
• If your system will be channel-attached, make available a bus and tag connection from the host system as follows:
– AS/400 requires a Barr/AFD or PS/2 with a channel card.
– RS/6000 requires a channel card for IPS connectivity.
– PS/2 requires a channel card for IPS connectivity.
Refer to the installation planning checklist in the “Setting up the work area” chapter of this guide for a complete list of responsibilities.
Defining the IPS printer to the host
Prior to installation of your DocuPrint NPS/IPS, your host system must be configured to communicate with and print on the
DocuPrint NPS/IPS. This requires defining several printer parameters to your host. The required information and configuration procedures differ according to your connectivity type (channel or TCP/IP), and your host and PSF environment.
You will need to provide these parameters to your Xerox representative on installation day.
Installation Planning Guide 8-3
Installation
There are two appendices in this guide which provide printer configuration procedures and the parameters you must define in order to configure PSF to make a connection with your DocuPrint
NPS/IPS. One appendix discusses channel-attached environments; the other appendix provides information for environments in which the printer uses TCP/IP to communicate via Ethernet or Token Ring. Parameters are given for MVS mainframes, AS/400, RS/6000 running AIX, and PS/2 or other personal computers running OS/2.
Software licensing
When a DocuPrint NPS/IPS 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/IPS 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 printer is installed.
Until this license string is entered, your printer 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 printer 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/IPS
Authorization Enablement from the Administration pulldown menu on the NPS/IPS main window. Refer to your , “Setting up the printer controller” chapter, for the procedure.NPS/IPS Guide to Configuring and Managing the System
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:
8-4 Installation Planning Guide
• 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 MICR dry ink to your 96/4635/180 MICR NPS/IPS
• 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.

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 cut-sheet papers:
• 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
Installation Planning Guide A-1
Supplies
• 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.
Recommended weight and grade:
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: 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.
A-2 Installation Planning Guide
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 paper specifications, you can also use the following stocks.
• 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-cut tabs
• Carbonless paper
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.
Installation Planning Guide A-3
Supplies
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.
A-4 Installation Planning Guide
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 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.
The following figure illustrates the maximum and minimum paper sizes supported in 8-pitch mode.

1. Maximum paper size for 8 pitch mode
2. Minimum paper size for 8 pitch mode
3. Travel direction of sheets out of paper tray
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).
Installation Planning Guide A-5
Supplies
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 (16pound / 60 gsm) large papers can cause jams throughout the system and are not recommended.
The following figure illustrates the maximum and minimum paper sizes supported in 3-pitch mode.
Figure A-2. 3-pitch mode paper sizes
1. Maximum paper size for 3 pitch mode
2. Minimum paper size for 3 pitch mode
3. Travel direction of sheets out of paper tray
Feed direction for some standard paper sizes
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).
The following figures illustrate how some of the supported standard paper sizes, in various pitch modes, feed through the printer.

Installation Planning Guide
Paper care
Once you have purchased your paper, you must be sure it is stored and conditioned properly, so that it performs optimally in the printer with a minimum of jams.
Storing paper Paper has a tendency to curl under the heat that is present inside xerographic equipment. To minimize the amount of curling, use paper with low moisture content. Paper with excessive moisture content has a tendency to jam because of the greater curl. The maximum recommended moisture content is 5.7 percent.
Keep these points in mind when preparing your paper storage area:
• Store paper in its own wrapper; do not leave it unwrapped or where it can be damaged by dampness or heat.
• Store paper on a flat surface and not on its side or edge.
• Store reams of paper in a closed cabinet.
• Always store paper in a cool, dry area. Store on pallets or shelves, not on the floor.
• Plan ahead and keep at least a day’s supply of paper in the same area as the printer to allow environmental stabilization prior to printing.
For more detailed information on paper for Xerox printers, refer to Helpful Facts about Paper, provided with your printer.

Conditioning paper
Because temperature and humidity affect paper performance in the printer, you need to condition paper before using it. To do this, store paper for a specified length of time in the same type of environment as your printer.
Installation Planning Guide
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.

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.
A-12 Installation Planning Guide
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.
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.
Installation Planning Guide A-13
Supplies
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.
A-14 Installation Planning Guide
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.

DocuPrint NPS/IPS 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/IPS on a Novell network.
NOTE: This information does not apply to IPDS printing.
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/IPS 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.
Installation Planning Guide D-1
DocuPrint NPS/IPS on a Novell network
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.
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/
IPS 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
D-2 Installation Planning Guide
• 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/IPS starts to receive it. If the user has deleted the job after DocuPrint NPS/
IPS 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.
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/IPS 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/IPS 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.

DocuPrint NPS/IPS on a Novell network
Job parameters
The following job parameters are affected when the DocuPrint
NPS/IPS is configured as a PSERVER:
• Job description is used as the document name
• 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
• ElideHeaders is set to TRUE if you disable banner
• 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/IPS 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/IPS 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/IPS 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.
D-4 Installation Planning Guide
Remote printer (RPRINTER)
A Novell remote printer workstation (DocuPrint NPS/IPS 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/IPS 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/IPS as a print server or as a remote printer
Before installing DocuPrint NPS/IPS 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/IPS.
Installation Planning Guide D-5
DocuPrint NPS/IPS on a Novell network
• 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/IPS 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/IPS 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/IPS 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/IPS resources as the file is processed.
• With PSERVER, a DocuPrint NPS/IPS can receive jobs from only one print queue on one File Server, but users can submit jobs to different DocuPrint NPS/IPS virtual printers using
Novell forms. The administrator uses the PRINTDEF program to create forms with the same name as DocuPrint NPS/IPS 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/IPS completes printing them. This may fill up the queue in some environments.
D-6 Installation Planning Guide
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/
IPS as a print server or as a remote printer.
Table D-1. Print server and remote printer differences
DocuPrint NPS/IPS as a PSERVER

Functions like a Novell print server.
Connects to a Novell file server and consumes a licensed connection.
Reads the Novell print queue directly and obtains all the job parameters.
Not necessary for the user to disable the print job banner.
No unusual delays in output of print jobs.
Services only one queue on one file server.
Supports user notification of the end of a print job (completion of printing).
Can send a job ticket that references one file on the Novell file server to which the DocuPrint NPS/IPS is connected.
Functions like a Novell remote printer.
Connects to a Novell print server without consuming a licensed connection.
Cannot read the Novell print queue; receives only the job data, not the data from the queue entry.
User must disable the banner for each print job. If not disabled, the job prints incorrectly.
May be delays in output of print jobs when jobs are not sent back-to-back.
The system views the start of a print job as the end of a previous job.
May service multiple print queues through the Novell print server.
Notifies user only when job submission completes (does not notify user of print completion).
Cannot reference files on a Novell file server.

Supporting DocuPrint NPS/IPS on the file server
There are a number of tasks you perform on the file server to support the DocuPrint NPS/IPS as either a print server or a remote printer:
• With DocuPrint NPS/IPS 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/IPS 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/IPS is configured as an RPRINTER.)
D-12 Installation Planning Guide
NOTE: DocuPrint NPS/IPS supports native connection to Novell
3.12 file servers. However, to run DocuPrint NPS/IPS with Novell
4.X servers, the Novell server must be configured to Bindery
Emulation.

Defining the printer to the host:
TCP/IP attachment
This appendix contains instructions, prerequisites, and some sample printer parameters for defining your TCP/IP-attached printer to your host, in each PSF environment.
MVS or OS/390 parameters
This section discusses the parameters and procedures required to define a printer to your host, followed by examples of the parameters required for a Token Ring connection using TCP/IP in a MVS environment.
NOTE: The MVS examples shown are for a Token Ring connection. However, the same parameters will be required for an Ethernet connection using TCP/IP.
Software prerequisites – MVS
On an MVS/ESA or OS/390 host system, you must have the following software to print through PSF on a TCP/IP-attached printer:
• PSF/MVS Version 3, release 2.0, with APAR OW 15599 or later
• MVS Scheduler APAR OW 12236 to support two new
PRINTDEV keywords: IPADDR and PORTNO
• TCP/IP Version 3, release 1 or higher, installed and configured on MVS.
You must have these prerequisites installed on your host before you begin the configuration process described in this chapter.
Ensure that the manuals for the proper software releases are used.
Installation Planning Guide F-1
Defining the printer to the host: TCP/IP attachment
Network configurations – MVS
The printer is supported in all the following configurations, provided that the software prerequisites are installed.
• Basic configuration in which the MVS host is attached to a
LAN using a Token Ring or Ethernet network adapter card
• Remote LAN environment in which there are data communication links between the host and the LAN-attached controller
• Configurations in which the LAN with the printer attached is connected to the host-attached controller using LAN devices such as routers
• Environments with intermediate host systems between the
MVS host running PSF and the LAN-attached controller.
NOTE: There may be printer performance and throughput implications with some of these configurations. It is recommended that your network management group be involved with planning this installation.
Configuration steps – MVS
The software configuration process for an MVS or OS/390 environment with TCP/IP consists of six major steps:
1. Configure the printer for TCP/IP at the printer controller
Refer to your Guide to Configuring and Managing the System for setting system options.
2. Configure the MVS CCU for the MVS host to MVS
The MVS communications control unit (CCU) could be the 3172,
3174, or 3745 control unit. To configure it to MVS, you can use either a hardware configuration definition (HCD) or an MVS configuration program (MVSCP). If your control unit and LAN are already installed and operational, skip this step.
NOTE: The AFP1 parameter used when channel-attached IPDS printers are defined is not applicable in this configuration. It is the communications control unit (3172, 3174, or 3745) that is being defined to MVS, not the printer’s control unit.
F-2 Installation Planning Guide
3. Configure the PSF printer in JES2 or JES3
This section discusses the procedures for configuring the printer in JES2 or JES3 environments.
Configuring in
JES2
To configure the PSF printer in JES2, follow these steps:
1. Locate the JES2 initialization dataset in the JES2 Startup
JCL Procedure (JES2 PROC). (This is normally kept in
SYS1.PROCLIB, although your system may use a different library.)
The JES2 PROC has a DD statement (normally
HASPPARM), which points to the initialization dataset. (The location of this statement is SYS1.PARMLIB(JES2PARM); however, you should always verify the location on your own system.)
2. Enter the following required commands in the JES2 initialization dataset to define the PSF functional subsystem
(FSS):
• One FSS statement for each PSF functional subsystem
• One PRTnnnn statement for each functional subsystem application (FSA) under control of the FSS. (This can also be specified as PRINTnn or PRINTERn.)
The following table lists the JES2 FSS statement parameters to be defined.

Follow these steps to configure the PSF printer in JES3:
1. Locate the JES3 initialization dataset (commonly known as
Initialization Deck) in the JES3 catalogued JCL Procedure.
(This is normally kept in SYS1.PROCLIB, although your system may use a different library.)
The JES3 PROC has a JES3IN DD statement, which points to the initialization dataset. The default initialization deck is in
SYS1.SAMPLIB (member JES3IN00); however, you should verify your location by looking at the JES3 procedure.
2. Enter the following required commands in the JES3 initialization deck to define the PSF functional subsystem
(FSS):
• One FSSDEF statement for each PSF functional subsystem

Considerations for configuring TCP/IP for MVS
Following are some considerations for configuring TCP/IP for
MVS:
• To specify a TCP/IP address space name other than the default (TCPIP), code the following EXEC statement in the appropriate PSF writer procedure:
STEP01 EXEC PGM=APSPPIEP,
PARM=(,,,,tcpip_name), REGION=4096K where tcpip_name is the name of the TCP/IP address space.
If this parameter is not coded, PSF uses the default name,
TCPIP. (For a full description of the PARM parameter, refer to
Print Services Facility/MVS: Diagnosis Guide and
Reference.)
• KEEPALIVEOPTIONS statement: PSF relies on TCP to detect when a connection with the printer is no longer usable.
When no data has been exchanged between PSF and its connection partner, TCP sends keep-alive probes to the connection partner periodically. These periodic probes, called keep-alive transmissions, enable TCP to discover when a connection is no longer usable, even if the connection partner is abruptly powered off or is no longer accessible through the network.
The frequency of keep-alive transmissions is controlled by the INTERVAL parameter on the KEEPALIVEOPTIONS statement. The frequency applies to all TCP applications that direct TCP to send keep-alive transmissions. The default frequency is after about two hours of inactivity.
For printing on the NPS/IPS, it is recommended you specify a shorter interval than the default—such as 10 minutes—for the interval between keep-alive transmissions. Also, unless any target host requires that the keep-alive packet contain data, specify SENDGARBAGE FALSE. For example:
KEEPALIVEOPTIONS INTERVAL 10 SENDGARBAGE
FALSE ENDKEEPALIVEOPTIONS
If you change any of the values in the TCP/IP profile, restart
TCP/IP to pick up the changes.

6. Test the printer to ensure it prints from the MVS host
Test the printer by one of the following methods:
• Send a job from the host through PSF to print on the printer.
• Ping the printer from your MVS host to ensure MVS can establish a connection with the TCP/IP-attached printer.
Pinging the printer
– MVS
To ping the printer from the MVS host, enter one of the following commands:
• At your MVS host, enter the following command at the TSO prompt or from the Interactive System Productivity Facility
(ISPF), menu 6:
PING ip-address
• Enter the following command from any ISPF command line:
TSO ping ip-address
ip-address specifies the internet protocol (IP) address of the printer.
If the ping is successful:
Table F-9. Example of a successful ping – MVS
EZA0458I Ping V3R1: Pinging host 9.99.12.33
(Use ATTN to interrupt)
EZA 0463I PING: Ping #1 response took 0.084 seconds.
Successes so far = 1.
NOTE: A successful ping usually indicates that the MVS system can communicate with the printer. However, you could receive a successful ping even if the IP address of the TCP/IP-attached printer is a duplicate of another IP address.
If PSF is unable to establish a network connection with the TCP/
IP-attached printer, or if PSF output for this printer prints elsewhere, follow these steps to determine whether the IP address of the printer is unique:
1. Power off the printer.
2. Wait at least five minutes for TCP/IP to clear the Address
Resolution Protocol (ARP) tables.
Installation Planning Guide F-17
Defining the printer to the host: TCP/IP attachment
NOTE: If your installation specified a longer interval on the
ARPAGE configuration statement in the TCP/IP profile, you may need to wait longer than five minutes. (For information about the ARPAGE statement, refer to the IBM TCP/IP MVS
Customization and Administration Guide.)
3. Enter the ping command again at the MVS system.
If you receive a successful response to the ping command this time, it means there is a duplicate IP address. Consult your network administrator.
If the ping is unsuccessful:
Table F-10. Example of an unsuccessful ping – MVS
EZA0458I Ping V3R1: Pinging host 9.99.12.33
(Use ATTN to interrupt)
EZA 0464I PING: Ping #1 timed out
If your ping is not successful, verify the following:
• The printer is powered on.
• The cables are properly connected between the printer and the LAN.
• The Network Interface Card (NIC) in the printer is functioning properly. (Consult your Xerox service representative.)
• There is proper connectivity to the Multi-station Access Unit
(MAU), if one is being used.
• The IP address used to define the printer in PSF is unique in the TCP/IP network.
• The IP address of the MVS system is unique. If not, consult your network administrator to resolve the address problem.
• The Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) size of the IP packet for the MVS system is equal to the MTU size of the printer.
(For information about the values recommended for the MVS system, see the “GATEWAY” statement in table B-8.)
– To change the MTU size for the MVS system, change the
GATEWAY statement in the MVS TCP/IP profile, and restart TCP/IP to activate the changes.
– If you are running RouteD, the maximum MTU size is the one specified on the BSDROUTINGPARMS statement
(MTU).
F-18 Installation Planning Guide
– The default MTU value in the printer is 2052. To change the MTU size for the printer, refer to the Sun network software documentation.
– If these items are all in order, consult your network administrator about a possible network problem.

Correcting for printer performance issues – MVS
Should you notice any printer performance problems—e.g., through-put speed degradation, check the areas listed in the following table.
Table F-11. Components to check for printer performance problems
On the MVS system, ensure that both the PSF and TCP/IP address spaces are receiving a high level of service, are at a high dispatching priority, and their datasets and the JES2 spool datasets are on DASD volumes that have low competing activity from other applications and from other DASD volumes on the same path.
Ensure that the Maximum Transmission Unit size (MTU) is as large as possible. A small
MTU size increases the number of packets that are transmitted, allowing greater chances of degradation throughout the network. Increasing the MTU size in both TCP/IP for MVS and in the printer may improve printer performance.
If the printer is on a LAN that also has a large number of other devices attached to it, the high levels of traffic on the LAN can cause printer speed degradation. Consider moving the printer to a LAN that does not have so much activity on it.
If the speed of the link connecting the LAN with the printer attached to the MVS system is slow, this could be a bottleneck. This could be a concern with any configuration in which the LAN-attached controller (i.e., 3745, 3172, or 3174) is not directly channel-attached to the host running PSF. This could occur in a Remote LAN configuration as discussed in the
Network Configurations section, earlier in this chapter. Review your network configuration diagrams to look for any potential bottlenecks.

4. Test the printer connection – AS/400
Test the printer by one of the following methods to ensure AS/
400 is able to make a connection with the printer:
• Send a job from the host through PSF to print.
• Ping the printer from your AS/400 system to ensure the AS/
400 can establish a connection with the TCP/IP-attached printer.
Installation Planning Guide F-25
Defining the printer to the host: TCP/IP attachment
Pinging the printer To ping the printer to verify a connection can be made, enter the following command on an OS/400 command line:
PING ‘Remote Location’
‘remote location’ specifies the internet protocol (IP) address of the printer (refer to the configuration worksheet, earlier in this section).
If the ping is successful:
Table F-17. Example of a successful ping – AS/400 ping 9.9.999.999
Verifying connection to host system LOOPBACK at address 9.9.999.999.
Connection verification 1 took .000 seconds. 1 successful connection verifications.
Connection verification 2 took .000 seconds. 2 successful connection verifications.
Connection verification 3 took .001 seconds. 3 successful connection verifications.
Connection verification 4 took .000 seconds. 4 successful connection verifications.
Connection verification 5 took .000 seconds. 5 successful connection verifications.
Round-trip (in milliseconds) min/avg/max = 0/0/1
Connection verification statistics: 5 of 5 successful (100 %).
NOTE: A successful ping usually indicates that the AS/400 system can communicate with the printer. However, you could receive a successful ping even if the IP address of the TCP/IPattached printer is a duplicate of another IP address.
If PSF output for this printer prints elsewhere, follow these steps to determine whether the IP address of the printer is unique:
1. Power off the printer.
2. Wait at least five minutes for TCP/IP to clear the Address
Resolution Protocol (ARP) tables.
3. Enter the ping command again at the AS/400 system.
4. If you receive a successful response to the ping command this time, there is a duplicate IP address. Consult your network administrator.
F-26 Installation Planning Guide
If the ping is unsuccessful:
Table F-18. Example of an unsuccessful ping – AS/400 ping 9.9.999.999
Verifying connection to host system TEST at address 9.9.999.999.
No response from host within 10 seconds for connection verification 1.
No response from host within 10 seconds for connection verification 2.
No response from host within 10 seconds for connection verification 3
No response from host within 10 seconds for connection verification 4.
No response from host within 10 seconds for connection verification 5.
Connection verification statistics: 0 of 5 successful (0 %).
If your ping is not successful, verify the following:
• The printer is powered on.
• TCP/IP has been started on the AS/400 (command:
STRTCP).
• The cables are properly connected between the printer and the LAN.
• The Network Interface Card (NIC) in the printer is functioning properly. (Consult your Xerox service representative.)
• There is proper connectivity to the Multi-station Access Unit
(MAU), if one is being used.
• The IP address used to define the printer in PSF is unique in the TCP/IP network.
• The IP address of the AS/400 system is unique. If not, consult your network administrator to resolve the address problem.
Installation Planning Guide F-27
Defining the printer to the host: TCP/IP attachment
Correcting for printer performance issues – AS/400
Should you notice any printer performance problems—e.g., throughput speed degradation, check the areas listed in the following table.
Table F-19. Components to check for printer performance problems
LAN
AS/400 to
LAN attachment
If the printer is on a LAN that also has a large number of other devices attached to it, the high levels of traffic on the
LAN can cause printer speed degradation. Consider moving the printer to a LAN that does not have so much activity on it.
If the speed of the link connecting the LAN with the printer attached to the AS/400 system is slow, this could be a bottleneck. Review your network configuration diagrams to look for any potential bottlenecks.

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.
Installation Planning Guide 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:

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 software-driven scanner is used to create characters and/or graphics. bits per second
(bps)
In serial communication, the instantaneous bit speed with which a device or channel transmits a character.
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.

Volatile memory used for temporary storage of data and software commands, used by programs for immediate task processing.
raster data Binary data, usually consisting of dots arranged in scan lines, according to the print order. rasterization The creation of a bitmap image of a page for printing.
Raster output scanner. A motor–driven laser scanning system.
Read-Only
Memory (ROM)
Solid-state memory for programs. It cannot be rewritten. read/write head A small electromagnet that reads, writes, and erases data in the form of magnetic dots on the surface of an external storage medium, such as a magnetic disk. real time To process transactions as they are entered into a system. User and system interchange allow transactions to be processed and the results returned to the user. resolution The number of dots per unit. An imaging system converts a character from digitized data into a printed image composed of these tiny dots. The greater the number of dots per inch (i.e., higher the resolution), the clearer the image is produced. sequencing Method of ordering messages, records within a file, or statements in a program according to rank or time of entry. sequential In numeric sequence, usually in ascending order. As applied to a file organization, describes files in which records are written one after another and cannot be randomly accessed. For example, the first 99 records in a sequential file-access file have to be read before the 100th record is accessible. short-edge feed
(SEF)
The movement of paper through the printer in the direction of the paper width (the shorter side of a sheet of paper).
simplex printing Printing on one side of the page. See also duplex printing.
small computer system interface
(SCSI)
An accepted standard for connecting devices to computers.
software Programs, including operating systems, procedures, utilities, applications programs, etc., written for a system.
software application
See application software.
spooling Process of releasing data from main memory and storing it temporarily until a peripheral device is ready to accept it, e.g., storing text before sending it to a printer.

Glossary string Connected sequence of alphanumeric characters treated as one unit of data by a program.
SunOS Operating system developed primarily by Sun Microsystems for use on Sun computers and workstations. SunOS provides inherent support for UNIX and for TCP/IP.
syntax Rules governing the structure of expressions in a programming language. syntax error System response to a mistake in the entry of a command. sysgen Abbreviated form of system generation. system administrator
Person responsible for configuring, operating, and maintaining the DocuPrint system, and also for installing client software on network workstations.
system generation Process whereby the system is made ready to operate. Typically involves selecting the operative parameters and activating the relevant software.
System Network
Architecture (SNA) telecommunicatio ns
Total description of logical structure, formats, and protocols of operation sequences for transmitting an information unit through the communication system. Developed by IBM for distributed processing networks.
The transfer of data via telephone lines. teleprocessing Data transfer via telecommunication lines for processing among various remote terminals and the central processing unit (CPU). throughput In data processing systems, the amount of data that can be processed, transmitted, printed, etc., in a specified unit of time.
Token Ring Network topology in which a control packet or token is passed from station to station in sequential order. Stations needing access must wait for the token before transmitting data. In a
Token Ring, the next logical station receiving the token is also the next physical station.
transaction processing
Method of data processing in which files are updated and results are generated immediately after data entry.
translation 1. In data communications, the conversion of one code to another on a character-by-character basis.
transmission speed
2. In programming, the function of a language processor which converts a source program from one programming language to another.
In data communications, the rate at which data is passed through communication lines, usually measured in bits per inch
(bpi).
Glossary-14 Installation Planning Guide
two-up Application that prints two logical pages on one side of a physical page.
ULTRIX Operating system that runs on DECStations. It consists of a hierarchical system of commands, shells, files, and directories.
See also operating system.
UNIX Operating system for computers, usually working in a network environment. UNIX consists of a hierarchical system of commands, shells, files, and directories. See also operating system.
user interface (UI) System for gathering input from a user and presenting data to the user.
virtual page Page area selected by a forms designer for printing. virtual printers Alternate names for the printer which allow different sets of default attributes to be applied to submitted jobs. The operator and system administrator define virtual printer names and the associated set of attributes and values.
workstation Computer able to process data but designed specifically for interaction with a network.
write To record data in memory or an external storage medium.
write protection Data protection feature implemented on magnetic media (e.g., floppy disk) to prevent stored data from being modified, written over, or erased.
xerographic mode There are two xerographic modes: black mode or highlight mode.
Black mode allows printing with black dry ink only, while the highlight mode enables highlight color printing.
