Installation Planning Guide 1-1
1. System overview
This chapter provides an overview of the features and functions
of the Xerox DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS.
Functional overview of the NPS/IPS
The NPS/IPS printers support the processing and printing of
PDL and ASCII jobs from network workstations, as well as IPDS
jobs from an IBM host. Supported PDL formats are PostScript
levels 1 and 2, HP PCL 5e, and TIFF.
Your organization may print only IPDS jobs, network PDL jobs, or
jobs from both environments.
NOTE: The DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS does not support printing
of color PCL jobs.
DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS printers support:
• Full-color printing
• Printing at a rated speed of up to 60 ppm in 600 dpi
• Printing simplex and duplex
• Processing and printing of network PDL jobs and IPDS jobs
without soft boot to switch modes
• Multiple weights, sizes and types of paper (refer to the
“Supplies” appendix for details)
• Optional high-capacity feeder
• Optional high-capacity stacker
• Optional high-capacity stacker stapler
• Sixth Sense, a diagnostic tool that provides system
assessment and problem analysis.
System overview
1-2 Installation Planning Guide
System component overview
DocuColor NPS/
IPS The entire DocuColor NPS/IPS system includes the printer (also
known as an IOT or print engine), printer controller, printer
interface, and all appropriate software. “DocuColor 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 two processors, DVD-ROM drive,
diskette drive, keyboard, mouse, and a liquid crystal display
(LCD) flat panel 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
DocuColor 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 paper stacking and optional sampling.
NPS and IPS printing 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 (IPS) and PostScript (NPS).
• 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.
• Bus and tag attachment through the channel interface board
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.
System overview
Installation Planning Guide 1-3
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.
SNMP support
The system provides functionality to export the state of a printer
using the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), thus
allowing printer management software to monitor and report on
the printer state.
SNMP is a standardized communications protocol for managing
arbitrary networked devices from different vendors, such as
workstations, servers, printers, or routers. The information to be
communicated is presented as variable name/value pairs,
defined in a set of standardized management information bases
(MIBs). The MIBs define the legal variables, their types, and
possibly a fixed set of values.
SNMP was designed to facilitate managing a heterogeneous set
of networked devices that communicate using TCP/IP.
Specifically, it addressed management of the network itself and
the network traffic between those devices. Over time, MIBs were
defined to expand the types of devices that could be managed
using SNMP. For example, MIBs were defined specific to
managing a workstation or a printer.
The system currently supports variables defined in the following
MIBs:
• MIB-II (RFC 1156)
This MIB defines the basic set of variables any device
running TCP/IP should make accessible. It includes, for a
particular device, variables for information such as a system
description, information about each of the network interfaces
present on the device, and information about all the IP
datagrams sent and received by the device.
System overview
1-4 Installation Planning Guide
• Host Resources MIB (RFC 1514)
This MIB defines variables useful in managing a “host”
system. In this context, a host is a computer that is directly
used by human beings and that communicates with other
similar computers attached through a network. The Host
Resources MIB includes information such as how long the
system has been up, descriptions of the processors and
attached storage devices, and possibly information about
software running on the host.
• Printer MIB (RFC 1759)
This MIB defines information useful in managing a printer. It
includes information about the physical status of the printer,
such as the number of input trays, the media loaded in them,
and the number and types of marking engines included in the
printer.
Most variables in these MIBs are supported in a standard way,
as described in the standard documentation, except that writing
to read/write variables is not supported. All variables are treated
as read-only. In all cases, the NPS/IPS SNMP implementation
supplies textual information only in English.
IPP support
The system supports the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP), which
allows you to:
• Add the printer to your PC directly as an Internet printer with
a URL, rather than indirectly as an lpr-connected local printer.
• Use an IPP client to access the printer. A limited subset of
IPP operations is supported; query the IPP client for details.
System overview
Installation Planning Guide 1-5
IPDS environment
Host environments
The system emulates an IBM AFP Group 3 page printer with the
Advanced Function Image and Graphics (AFIG) option and can
print in all the following PSF environments:
•MVS
• 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—a channel
interface board and channel cable connector box that serve
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.)

attached systems only
The channel interface board, connected to the channel cable
connector box, handles all IPDS communications and
handshaking with PSF on the host when the NPS/IPS is
receiving data over a channel. (It is not used when the NPS/IPS
is printing data using TCP/IP.)

Customer-
supplied 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.
Customer-
supplied network The customer needs to supply one or more of the following
networks:
• Ethernet local area network (LAN) running TCP/IP, AppleTalk,
or Novell NetWare network protocol.
• Token Ring running TCP/IP, Novell, or AppleTalk network
protocol.
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
DocuColor 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.
System overview
1-10 Installation Planning Guide
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:
• 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.
System overview
Installation Planning Guide 1-11
• 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 Solaris 8.0
• 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
3.12.
• PC 386 or 486, running MS-DOS, version 6.2, with one of the
following TCP/IP packages:

1-12 Installation Planning Guide
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
communication 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
.

Installation Planning Guide 1-13
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.

Input tray capacity Tray capacity for the input trays is:
• Trays 1 and 2 hold 550 sheets of 24-pound or 90 gsm bond
paper.
• Tray 3 holds 2200 sheets of 24-pound or 90 gsm bond paper.
NOTE: For special stock, use tray 3.
All three input trays have buttons to specify weight. In addition,
tray 3 has selections for paper size (Non Standard or Standard),
and the paper type (Coated or Uncoated). You must use these
specifications for the printer to print properly. For the procedure
on loading paper and specifying the weight, paper size and
paper type, refer to the
Guide to Performing Routing
Maintenance
, “Paper trays” chapter.
NOTE: Although the tray input buttons for the DocuColor 2060
require you to specify weight, you also specify media weight
when using the Set Tray command at the printer controller. The
buttons on the tray require you to specify weight in gsm, whereas
the Set Tray command allows you to use any unit of
measurement for weight. Therefore, the number you specify on
the tray, and the number you specify using Set Tray may be
different numbers, while still referring to the same actual weight.
Additionally, Set Tray allows you to specify 0 to indicate no
preference.
Output tray
capacity The offset catch tray holds 500 sheets of 24-pound or 90 gsm
bond paper.
If you have the optional high-capacity stacker (HCS) or high-

4-8 Installation Planning Guide
NPS/IPS network installation checklist
The DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS system is installed and configured
by your service representative. The service representative needs
certain information about your network environment to complete
the DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS 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 DocuColor 2060 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 DocuColor
2060 NPS/IPS 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.
Preparing for installation
Installation Planning Guide 4-9
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.)
• 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 Xerox-
supplied 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 DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS.
• 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.
Preparing for installation
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 DocuColor 2060 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
DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS to locate. The zone name must be the
same name as the existing zone used on the network to which
the DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS 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 DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS system
supports a print production environment, or whether the system
remains unattended. Once you determine the environment the
DocuColor 2060 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 DocuColor 2060 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.)
Preparing for installation
Installation Planning Guide 4-11
• If the DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS is unattended, you may want
to specify only 1 or 2 retries to print a job.

WARNING
The printer controller must be positioned within the line-of-
sight of the printer for safety purposes while servicing the
equipment.
For information on clearance space and other space planning
considerations, refer to the “Space planning guidelines” section
of this chapter. Contact your service representative if you have
questions not specifically addressed in this guide.
Space planning guidelines
When determining your space requirements and planning for
shared space between your DocuColor 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.
Clearance space requirements
The following table lists the space requirements for the
DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS and accessories.

Shared space
It is best to provide the full amount of clearance space around
the hardware components. Your environment may require you to
use shared space between components such as between the
printer and another Xerox printing system. You can share the 36-
inch / 91.4 cm clearance space around each component, as long
as you follow these rules:
• Space may be shared only with other Xerox equipment.
• 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.
NOTE: Finishers attached to your bypass transport may occupy
shared space with Xerox equipment. However, they must be
removable to allow servicing of the DocuColor printer stackers.
Consult with your Xerox representatives to ensure all the
requirements are met.
The following figures illustrate three possible configurations of
shared space.

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.

Floor leveling
For proper operation, the printer must be perfectly level. On
floors less than two degrees out of level, installation personnel
use a leveling kit to level the machine.
NOTE: The printer will not function properly on floors more than
two degrees out of level.
If the floor is more than two degrees out of level, find another
location for the printer.
For your reference, two degrees represents a height discrepancy
of approximately 3.8 inches / 9.6 cm measured at the casters
with the printer tilting from left to right, or approximately 0.7
inches / 1.8 cm with the printer tilting from back to front.
If you move the printer after its initial installation, it is your
responsibility to make sure that the printer can be leveled
properly. If you do not have the leveling kit (the printer in its initial
location did not require it), and you need one to level the printer
in a new location, contact your Xerox site representative to
obtain one.
Delivery access requirements
It is easy to overlook the path required to move the equipment
from the truck to the operation site. To determine access, ask the
following questions:
• Does the equipment need to go up or down a stairwell? How
wide is the stairwell?
• Do you have an elevator, if the equipment is to be located
above the first floor?
• Is the elevator large enough for the equipment?
• How wide are the hallways and doorways?
• Do you have a loading dock or a specific door to which the
equipment should be delivered?
You need to review these issues before or during the site
inspection conducted by your service representative.
The equipment dimensions are specified earlier in this chapter,
so it is easy to determine whether your hallways and doorways
are wide enough to permit access.

7. System connections
This chapter provides cable requirements for your DocuColor
NPS/IPS system. To ensure all of your cable requirements are
met, it is important to work with your Xerox representative.
Cable lengths
Cable lengths are important considerations in planning your
layout, as components can be separated only up to the length of
the data interface cables that connect them.
Cables supplied with the printer are long enough to meet the
needs of most installations. Some of these cables are specific
lengths to conform to engineering and safety standards.
Data cables The printer components can be separated up to the length of the
data interface cables that connect them. The printer and
controller are connected by a 25-foot / 7.5 meter data cable.
Power cables Power cable lengths for the 60 Hz environment are as follows:
Table 7-1. Power cable lengths
Power cable Length
Printer controller 8 feet / 2.4 meters
Printer 10 feet / 3 meters

Power cables Length
Printer controller 15 feet / 4.6 meters
Peripheral cabinet 15 feet / 4.6 meters
Printer 15 feet / 4.6 meters
System connections
7-2 Installation Planning Guide
WARNING
Using an inappropriate alternate cable may degrade the
performance of your equipment and may also be hazardous.
NOTE: Cable length loss must be factored in if equipment is
installed in a raised-floor environment. You should also consider
that part of the length of a cable is routed inside the equipment to
connect with interior power or data receptacles.
Cable locations
To run the cables beneath the flooring effectively, it is necessary
to know where the cables enter and exit the printer. The following
diagrams show those locations (marked with an X).
All power cords attach to the back of the printer. Listed below are
the distances of the printer power cord attachments from the left
end of the printer as you face it.

Channel attachments
The NPS/IPS printing system conforms to IBM standards and
requirements for any channel-attached
printer. When you channel-attach your printer, keep the following
in mind:
• Channel length is usually determined by the length of the
cables, the number of devices on the channel, and the
number of connections in the cable itself (for example,
connecting two cables to each other).
• Subtract 15 feet from the total allowable cable length for any
device attached to the channel or for any connection of two
cables.
• IBM channel cable lengths are as follows:
– Gray: 200 feet / 61 m (with one device, 185 feet / 56 m)
– Blue: 400 feet / 122 m (with one device, 385 feet / 117 m)

8. Installation
This chapter describes the activities performed by you and Xerox
during the installation of the Xerox DocuColor 2060 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 DocuColor
2060 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 DocuColor 2060 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 and Token Ring 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
8-2 Installation Planning Guide
4. Xerox personnel downloads Xerox client software, or installs
drivers or PPD files if applicable, on one client workstation to
validate the installation (15 minutes). Software may be
installed on another client workstation as part of training
conducted by your systems analyst. All other client software
installations are your responsibility. Refer to the
Guide to
Submitting Jobs from the Client
for more information.
If your site uses third-party Transmission Control Protocol/
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) lpr networking software, refer to
the
Xerox DocuColor 2060 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.
• Check the documentation and software kits with their packing
lists for completeness.
• Have your operators available for training.
Installation
Installation Planning Guide 8-3
Network
workstations For network workstations:
• Designate two client workstations for Xerox client software if
applicable: one for initial system validation and at least one
other for use in operator training.
• Load Xerox client software on any additional client
workstations, if needed. Drivers and PPD files are available
at www.xerox.com, or ask your Xerox representative.
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 network connectors required for your system.
• Have PostScript and PCL test jobs ready to run.
IPDS printing For IPDS printing:
• Have the necessary parameters defined to configure PSF for
connectivity to your IPDS printer.
• Have list of stocks you want used for your default IPDS virtual
printer media list (input tray) configuration. Refer to the
Guide to Managing Print Jobs
, in particular, the chapter
“Managing IPDS jobs,” for more information.
• 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:
– RS/6000 requires a channel card for NPS/IPS
connectivity.
– PS/2 requires a channel card for NPS/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.
Installation
8-4 Installation Planning Guide
Defining the printer to the host for IPDS printing
Prior to installation of your DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS, your host
system must be configured to communicate with and print on the
DocuColor 2060 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.
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
DocuColor 2060 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 DocuColor 2060 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.
This license is enabled by entering an authorization text string at
the printer controller keyboard. Your Xerox service representative
obtains this license text string for you.
Until this license string is entered, while you can power on and
boot the system, 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 using the Install Feature
License command. For more information, refer to the “Using
utility commands” chapter of the
Guide to Configuring and
Managing the System
.

Installation Planning Guide 8-5
Ongoing maintenance
After the installation of your Xerox DocuColor 2060 NPS, there
are a few ongoing tasks that must be performed. These tasks
may include the following:
• Maintaining an adequate inventory of consumable supplies
• Overseeing routine maintenance and meter reporting
• Arranging for additional operator training
• Ordering additional fonts
• Ordering additional documentation
• Placing service calls for hardware problems
• Obtaining assistance in solving software-related problems.
As installation coordinator, it is your responsibility to designate
the staff members responsible for these tasks.
Routine maintenance
A number of routine maintenance tasks must be performed to
ensure maximum efficiency of your printer. These tasks include:
• Adding standard dry ink to your printer
• Adding colored dry ink to your printer
• 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.
Installation
8-6 Installation Planning Guide
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.
Installation Planning Guide A-1
A. Supplies
This appendix provides information and specifications for the
media you use with your Xerox DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS 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. This is especially true for
full color jobs, where the paper quality has a great impact on the
quality of the output.
In addition, 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, as well as

Duplexing The DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS prints duplex from all paper trays
up to 220 gsm.
The system does not print duplex on media heavier than 220
gsm or larger than 12.6 x 18” / 321.1 x 458.1 mm.
Characteristics The paper stock should have the following characteristics:
• Low moisture content (a paper-to-moisture ratio below 5.7
percent). Paper with higher moisture content may curl and
jam.
• Smooth surface
• Moisture-resistant wrapping
• No defects (bent edges, uneven surfaces)
• Grain long (parallel with the long side of paper).
Paper is usually fed into the printer with the long side as the
leading edge. When you purchase paper, buy long-grain
paper. Make sure the grain is parallel with the long side (long-
grain) for the most reliable feeding and stacking.
Special stocks Following are some guidelines for choosing and using special
materials. Refer to table 1 to determine if the tray used is capable
of handling the special stock.
•Transparencies: Use only the transparencies
recommended: Xerox Removable Paper Stripe: USA and
Canada, 3R5765; Xerox Europe, 3R93179.
Load transparencies into tray 3 with the paper stripe side
facing DOWN and with the stripe as the leading edge. (The
leading edge is the edge that feeds into the printer first.)
•Labels: Must be the type designed for high-speed printers
and must meet the specifications described in the section
above. Loading instructions are printed on all paper trays.
Load labels with the label side up. You can direct them to any
output tray.
•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.
Supplies
A-4 Installation Planning Guide
•Letterhead: Different inks and dry inks are used to produce
preprinted letterhead that may not pass through the printer
intact. It is recommended that you run a sample job through
the printer to determine output quality. The loading
orientation of letterhead paper depends on how the job is
programmed. It is recommended that a sample job always be
run first to determine output quality.
•Tabbed inserts: Can be loaded into tray 3 as non-standard
paper. Tabbed inserts can be run from, but are not
recommended for, the optional tray 4 as non-standard paper.
When loading, the non-tabbed, short edge of the tabbed
insert should be the lead edge to the printer.
•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.
–Simplex print jobs: Load the drilled paper into trays 1, 2,
or 3 with the holes positioned toward the rear of the paper
tray.
–Duplex print jobs: Load the drilled paper into trays 1, 2,
or 3 with the holes positioned toward the front of the paper
tray.
•Perforated paper
•Non-standard size paper: Paper (7.2 to 12.6 [LEF] or 7.2 to
19.2 [SEF]) can be loaded into tray 3 and optional tray 4.
Ensure that non-standard size paper is selected on tray 3 and
optional tray 4.
•Oversize paper: Paper (12 x 18” [SEF] or 12.6 x 17.7” /
SRA3 [SEF]) can be loaded in trays 1 and 2 after the paper
guides are removed by a Xerox service representative.
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.
Supplies
Installation Planning Guide A-5
Storing paper Paper has a tendency to curl under the heat that is present
inside xerographic equipment. To minimize the amount of curling,
use paper with low moisture content. Paper with excessive
moisture content has a tendency to jam because of the greater
curl. The maximum recommended moisture content is 5.7
percent.
Keep these points in mind when preparing your paper storage
area:
• Store paper in its own wrapper; do not leave it unwrapped or
where it can be damaged by dampness or heat.
• Store paper on a flat surface and not on its side or edge.
• Store reams of paper in a closed cabinet.
• Always store paper in a cool, dry area. Store on pallets or
shelves, not on the floor.
• Plan ahead and keep at least a day’s supply of paper in the
same area as the printer to allow environmental stabilization
prior to printing.
For more detailed information on paper for Xerox printers, refer
to
Helpful Facts about Paper
, provided with your printer.

Conditioning
paper Because temperature and humidity affect paper performance in
the printer, you need to condition paper before using it. To do
this, store paper for a specified length of time in the same type of
environment as your printer.
The length of time you should condition your paper depends on
the amount of paper and the difference between the storage and
operating temperatures.
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
Installation Planning Guide A-7
Example: (See the shaded rows in the table above.) If you want
to move ten cartons of paper from a storage area with a
temperature of 90 oF to an operating area with a temperature of
75 oF (a 15o difference), you should do so at least 14 hours
before using the paper.
Other supplies
This section describes the supplies other than paper that are
necessary for installation and afterward. Your sales
representative will help you place your initial supply order.
Fuser lubricant
Fuser lubricant is a consumable item required by the printer. You
should keep at least two boxes (each box contains two tubes) on
hand for installation by the service representative. The
consumption rate of Xerox fuser lubricant is approximately one
tube per 50,000 pages. For product information, refer to the
consumable supplies table in this appendix.

Fonts
Data can be printed on DocuColor 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 fonts is provided with your printer 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.

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

Installation Planning Guide D-1
D. DocuColor 2060 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 the DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS on
a Novell network.
NOTE: This 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.
DocuColor 2060 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.
DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS on a Novell network
D-2 Installation Planning Guide
Print queues
A print queue is a holding area on the file server where print jobs
are stored until a printer is ready. A queue allows multiple users
to send jobs to the same printer at the same time. The queue
software accepts and tracks jobs to enable users to view,
remove, and change values of jobs while they are in the queue.
Each queue has a directory on a hard disk. A print job sent to a
queue is stored as a file within that directory. Once the job is
printed, the file is removed from the queue directory.
The print queue software maintains a temporary record of
information for every print job. The information includes such
items as job number, job position in the queue, time the job
entered the queue, print server designated to print the job, user
ID of the person who submitted the job, and so on. The user can
access this information or cancel a job, using PCONSOLE, for
each queue.
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 DocuColor 2060
NPS/IPS printer controller.
DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS on a Novell network
Installation Planning Guide D-3
You can perform the following tasks using PCONSOLE:
• Add or remove the following:
– Definitions of file servers serviced by the print server
– Definitions of print queues serviced by the print server
– Definitions of printers for a print server
– Print servers
–Users
– Jobs to and from a queue
– Queues
• View or change job information
• Check or change queue status.
A user or operator can change job values or delete a job while it
is still in the Novell queue, and before DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS
starts to receive it. If the user has deleted the job after the
printing system begins to receive it, the system 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, DocuColor 2060 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
DocuColor 2060 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.

Job parameters
The following job parameters are affected when the DocuColor
2060 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.

Installation Planning Guide D-5
Using Novell forms to specify virtual printers
Novell allows the user to specify a form that has a name,
number, length and width.
DocuColor 2060 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 the DocuColor 2060 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: DocuColor 2060 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 DocuColor virtual printer. None of the form
attributes other than name is read.
Remote printer (RPRINTER)
A Novell remote printer workstation (DocuColor 2060 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.
DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS on a Novell network
D-6 Installation Planning Guide
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 DocuColor 2060 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.

DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS as a print server or as a remote printer
Before installing DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS on a Novell network,
first determine whether you want the printing system 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 DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS.
• 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, DocuColor 2060 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, DocuColor
2060 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; DocuColor 2060 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 DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS resources as the file
is processed.
DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS on a Novell network
D-8 Installation Planning Guide
• With PSERVER, a DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS can receive
jobs from only one print queue on one File Server, but users
can submit jobs to different DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS virtual
printers using Novell forms. The administrator uses the
PRINTDEF program to create forms with the same name as
DocuColor 2060 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 the printing system completes printing
them. This may fill up the queue in some environments.
The RPRINTER configuration informs the submitter only
when the job has been submitted, even though it may print
days later.
• PSERVER requires that unencrypted login is enabled on the
Novell File Server to which PSERVER connects. Regular
Novell clients will still use encrypted passwords.
RPRINTER does not require that unencrypted logins be
permitted.
The following table lists the differences between DocuColor 2060
NPS/IPS as a print server or as a remote printer.
Table D-1. Print server and remote printer differences
DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS as a PSERVER DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS as an RPRINTER
Functions like a Novell print server. Functions like a Novell remote printer.
Connects to a Novell file server and consumes
a licensed connection. Connects to a Novell print server without consuming
a licensed connection.
Reads the Novell print queue directly and
obtains all the job parameters. Cannot read the Novell print queue; receives only the
job data, not the data from the queue entry.
Not necessary for the user to disable the print
job banner. User must disable the banner for each print job. If not
disabled, the job prints incorrectly.
No unusual delays in output of print jobs. 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.
Services only one queue on one file server. May service multiple print queues through the Novell
print server.

Supporting DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS on the file server
There are a number of tasks you perform on the file server to
support the DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS as either a print server or
a remote printer:
• With DocuColor 2060 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

F. 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.
Defining the printer to the host: TCP/IP attachment
F-2 Installation Planning Guide
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.

Installation Planning Guide F-3
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.

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.

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:
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.
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.
Defining the printer to the host: TCP/IP attachment
F-18 Installation Planning Guide
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:
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).
Table F-10. Example of an unsuccessful ping – MVS

Defining the printer to the host: TCP/IP attachment
Installation Planning Guide F-19
– 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
MVS 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.
Printer 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.
LAN 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.
LAN-to-host
attachment 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.

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:
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/IP-
attached 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.

batch processing Allows for repetitive operations to be performed sequentially on
batched data without much involvement of the computer
operator.
baud Measurement of data rate in bits per second. This term is used
to describe information flow between two devices. Unit of data
transmitting/receiving speed is roughly equal to a single bit per
second. Common baud rates are 110, 300, 1200, 2400, 4800,
and 9600.
binary Numbering system based on 2 rather than 10 and containing
only the symbols 0 and 1. Binary is especially well suited for use
in computers and related devices since information can be
represented with electric pulses (0=off, 1=on). Most computer
calculations are binary.
bit In the binary numbering system, either of the characters 0 or 1.
The bit is the basic unit of information with which a computer
works. It can take the form of a magnetized spot, an electric
pulse, a positive or negative charge, etc. A number of bits strung
together represents a character to a computer.
Multipliers are:
1 byte = 8 bits
1 kilobyte (KB) or 1,024 bytes = 8,192 bits
1 megabyte (MB) or 1,048,576 bytes = 8,388,608 bits.
Computer space equivalents are:
1.5 KB = about 1 single-spaced typed page
30 KB = about 20 typed pages
150 KB = about 100 typed pages
bitmap Electronic definition of an image, comprised of a matrix of picture
