Figure 3-6. 3-6 DocuPrint 96/DocuPrint 96MX printer dimensions with inverter feeder/ stacker, feeder/stacker, and bypass transport modules (top view) XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/DOCUPRINT 96MX LPS INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE PREINSTALLATION Space planning guidelines This section describes the installations space requirements for the DocuPrint 96/DocuPrint 96MX LPS that include the following: • • • • • Clearance space Cable lengths Cable locations Efficiency of use Delivery access requirements. Clearance space requirements Your DocuPrint 96/DocuPrint 96MX LPS must be installed in a fixed location and have: • 36 inches/914 mm of clearance on all sides of each component, including any finishers or feeders you have attached to your DocuPrint 96/DocuPrint 96MX LPS. 50 inches/1270 mm clearance is required at the front of the printer • 78 inches/1981 mm of vertical clearance throughout the entire area • 24 inches/610 mm of exclusive operator area in front of each component. Shared space It is always best to provide the full amount of clearance space around your LPS. It is sometimes necessary, however, to have shared space between components, such as between the printer and the system controller, or between the DocuPrint 96/DocuPrint 96MX LPS and another printing system. It is possible to share the 36-inch/914-mm clearance space around each component, but there are three rules which must always be observed: • • Space may be shared only with other Xerox equipment. • There must be 78 inches/1981 mm of vertical clearance throughout the entire area. Components may share the 36-inch/914-mm general service clearance areas, but they may not share the 24-inch/61-mm operator area in front of each component. Note: Finishers attached to your bypass transport and feeders attached to your DocuPrint 96/DocuPrint 96MX LPS through the input enablement device may occupy shared space with Xerox equipment. However, they must meet the Xerox DFA Level 1 specifications and be removable to allow servicing of the DocuPrint 96/DocuPrint 96MX LPS feeder/stackers. Consult with your Xerox or Xerox Limited representatives to ensure all the requirements are met. XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/DOCUPRINT 96MX LPS INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE 3-7 PREINSTALLATION Figures 3-7 and 3-8 illustrate two possible configurations of shared space. In the first illustration, two printers are back to back. Because there is no operator area to be concerned with, the entire 36 inches of general service space may be shared. Figure 3-7. 3-8 Back-to-back shared service area space XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/DOCUPRINT 96MX LPS INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE PREINSTALLATION Figure 3-8 shows the minimum service space required between two DocuPrint 96/DocuPrint 96MX printers positioned face-to-face. The printers should be separated by at least 74 inches/1880 mm. This allows enough space for the front panels of one printer to be opened, without obstructing the 24 inch/610 mm operator area of the other printer. Figure 3-8. Face-to-face shared service area space When determining your space requirements and planning for shared space between your LPS, it is important to consider all the components you plan to have installed. If you have an optional bypass transport or input enablement device on your DocuPrint 96/ DocuPrint 96MX LPS, you need to consider the size and configuration of the finishers and feeders you purchase. A finisher can add considerable length to your LPS and possibly consume space in front of your LPS. Your feeder may require a large amount of space behind your LPS. The 36-inch/914-mm clearance space around each component must be observed for your feeders and finishers, therefore, must be considered when planning configuration of your systems. To ensure all the space requirements are met, it is important to work with your Xerox or Xerox Limited representatives, as well as the representatives of the company from which you have purchased your finishers and feeders. XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/DOCUPRINT 96MX LPS INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE 3-9 PREINSTALLATION Cable lengths Cable lengths are important considerations in planning your LPS layout, as components cannot be separated by more than the recommended cable distance. These distances affect these placements: • • • The printer and the system controller The keyboard/display The optional peripheral cabinet. Note: There are also distance requirements for some LPS options. Please consult with your customer support representative for these requirements. Data cables DocuPrint 96/DocuPrint 96MX LPS components can be separated up to the length of the data interface cables that connect them. Cable lengths are as follows: • The printer and the system controller are connected by a 50-foot/15.24-m data cable. • The system controller and the keyboard/display are connected by a 25- foot/7.62-m data cable. • The system controller and the optional peripheral cabinet are connected by a 10-foot/3-m data cable. Refer to figure 3-9 for the power and data cable locations and lengths. Figure 3-9. 3-10 Power cable and data cable length XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/DOCUPRINT 96MX LPS INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE PREINSTALLATION Power cables DocuPrint 96/DocuPrint 96MX LPS power cable lengths are as follows: • • System Controller: 15 feet/4.5 m • • Keyboard/display: 15 feet/4.5 m Printer: 5 feet/6 feet/1.8 m/4.5 m (60 Hz) 17 feet/5.1m (50 Hz, no plug) Peripheral cabinet option: 15 feet/4.5 m. Note: Cable length loss must be factored in if equipment is installed in a raised-floor environment. You should also consider that part of a cable’s length is routed inside the equipment to connect with interior power or data receptacles. Cable locations To run the cables beneath the flooring effectively, you need to know where the cables enter and exit the printer and the system controller. Figure 3-10 shows those locations (marked with an X). Figure 3-10. Cable enter/exit locations (top view) XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/DOCUPRINT 96MX LPS INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE 3-11 PREINSTALLATION Efficiency of use There are many possible layouts for your LPS. Placement depends on the type and amount of equipment used and the size and shape of the room used to house the equipment. Some possible configurations for LPS components include: • • • Side by side L-shaped Face to face. Equipment placement should limit operator movements as much as possible. Here are a few suggestions that may be helpful: • Place the system controller as close to the output end of the printer as possible. This will enable operators to simply reach over to collect printed materials and check output. • Consider the location of supplies in relation to the placement of the equipment. For example, having paper as close to the printer as possible will save time. • Having the system controller as close as possible to any offline interface devices saves time when monitoring tapes, jobs, and so forth. Delivery access requirements It is easy to overlook how the equipment is going to get from the truck to the operation site. Does it need to go up stairs? Do you have an elevator if it is to be located above the first floor? Is the elevator large enough? How wide are the hallways? The doorways? Do you have a loading dock or a specific door to which the equipment should be delivered? All these issues need to be reviewed prior to or at the time of the site inspection that is done by your service representative. The equipment dimensions are specified earlier in this chapter, so it is easy to know whether or not your hallways and doorways are wide enough to permit travel through them. Turning radius The width of the passageway when the equipment must negotiate a corner, whether into a room (or elevator) or into another passageway, must also be considered. The DocuPrint 96/DocuPrint 96MX is delivered with the printer and the inverter feeder/stacker as two separate modules. If necessary, the printer can be separated into two pieces for easier moving. The larger of the two parts contains the xerographic system; the smaller of the parts (referred to here as the PHM) contains paper trays 1 and 2. Table 3-1 describes the turning requirements for the printer when attached to the PHM (not separated). Table 3-2 describes requirements for the printer without the PHM (separated). Do not confuse these two parts of the printer with the inverter and feeder/ stacker modules, which have their own turning requirements. Table 3-3 describes the turning requirements for the printer if it is upended for easier moving or stair-climbing. This table reflects requirements for the printer separated from the PHM. 3-12 XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/DOCUPRINT 96MX LPS INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE PREINSTALLATION Tables 3-4 and 3-5 describe the turning requirements for the inverter/ feeder/stacker module. The relatively small dimensions of the DocuPrint 96/DocuPrint 96MX system controller and the optional peripheral cabinet are not likely to be of concern during delivery. Refer to figures 3-1 and 3-2 for their dimensions. The diagrams and the tables that follow show the minimum space needed to maneuver through a turn. To use the tables, measure the passage or doorway width into which you wish to go at its minimum width. This is Passage A. Find that number (or the next higher number) on the appropriate table and read across to the corresponding minimum value for Passage B (the passage or doorway you are turning from). Table 3-1.

It is important that you have an adequate supply on hand for installation and that you maintain an adequate supply after installation. A set of standard fonts is provided with your system (refer to the “LPS overview” chapter). If nonstandard fonts are needed, they also must be ordered from the Xerox Font Center, described in the “Postinstallation” chapter. This section describes the fonts and supplies needed for installation. Your Xerox or Xerox Limited sales representative will help you place your initial order for fonts (if any) and supplies. The “Postinstallation” chapter provides you with the information you need to order additional supplies as you require them, a consumable supplies table, and a supplies checklist. Fonts Data can be printed on the DocuPrint 96/DocuPrint 96MX 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 Provided with your LPS operating system software is a library of over 250 standard 300 spi fonts, referred to as the A03 font family. Licensed fonts In addition to the library of standard fonts delivered with your LPS, over 100 licensed fonts may be ordered from the 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 LPS. Receiving fonts The fonts provided by the Xerox Font Center are contained on 9track tape, 18-track cartridges, or 1/4-inch cartridges. One tape may contain several fonts, each of which is a separate file. Fonts may also be sent to the LPS from an online host computer through an IBMcompatible channel. As with the other initial supplies, your Xerox or Xerox Limited sales representative will assist you with determining your LPS fonts needs for installation. After installation, the Xerox Font Center can help you order additional licensed and custom fonts. (Refer to the “Xerox Font Center” section of the “Postinstallation” chapter) 3-26 XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/DOCUPRINT 96MX LPS INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE PREINSTALLATION Paper You need to select your paper carefully; without the proper paper, you increase the probability of paper jams and misfeeds. Your LPS can print on standard white, colored, predrilled, and preprinted (that is, letterhead and forms) paper, labels, and transparencies. They must meet the specifications set forth by Xerox for operability in the LPS. Additional information about paper for your LPS can be found in your Xerox DocuPrint 96/DocuPrint 96MX Laser Printing System Operator Guide. Use a good quality xerographic grade paper. For best results, use 20-pound/75 gsm bond xerographic grade paper. Xerox papers are specifically designed for optimal performance in your laser printing system. (Refer to the consumable supplies table at the end of the “Postinstallation” chapter.) Use paper within these parameters: • • Lightest: 16-pound/60-gsm (grams per square meter) Heaviest: 110-pound/200-gsm. The DocuPrint 96/DocuPrint 96MX accepts paper sizes as small as 8 by 10 inches/203 mm by 254 mm. Larger paper sizes, such as 11 by 17 inches/297 by 432 mm, A3 (297 by 420 mm/11.69 by 16.54 inches) and B4 (257 by 364 mm/10.12 by 14.33 inches), can also be fed. Paper has a tendency to curl under the heat that is present inside xerographic equipment. Paper with low moisture content curls less. Paper with excessive moisture content has a tendency to jam because of the greater curl. Note: The maximum recommended moisture content is 5.7 percent. Paper is fed into the LPS with the long side as the leading edge. (A3 and 11- by 17-inch paper sizes are fed short edge first.) The grain should be parallel with the long side (long-grain) for the most reliable feeding and stacking. Purchase long-grain paper. 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. Always store in a cool, dry area. Store on pallets or shelves, not on the floor. Before use, paper should spend at least one day in the same area as the printer to allow environmental stabilization. XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/DOCUPRINT 96MX LPS INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE 3-27 PREINSTALLATION Dry ink (toner) Dry ink (also referred to as “toner”) is the black powder which forms the image on the printed page. There are three cartridges of dry ink in each container. Keep an adequate supply on hand at all times. The operator can change throw-away cartridges easily with no mess. Use only dry ink that is specified for use in your LPS. (Refer to the consumable supplies table at the end of the “Postinstallation” chapter.) Fuser agent Fuser agent is a consumable item required by the LPS. Keep an adequate supply on hand for installation by the Xerox or Xerox Limited service representative. Developer Developer is a required item that needs to be ordered and kept on hand. It is changed by a Xerox or Xerox Limited service representative. Use only developer specified for use in your LPS. (Refer to the consumable supplies table at the end of the “Postinstallation” chapter.) Tapes Each of the tape drives available on the DocuPrint 96/DocuPrint 96MX LPS requires a different tape format. 1/4-inch (QIC) The 1/4-inch QIC tape drive uses quarter-inch stream cartridge tapes. The tape data capacity should be 320 MB with 225 KB/second data transfer rate. 36-TRACK The optional 18/36-track tape drive uses 0.5 inch cartridge tapes with a data capacity of 1.2 GB. 18-TRACK The optional 18/36-track tape drive also uses 0.5-inch IBM 3480compatible cartridge tapes with a data capacity of 200 MB. Cartridges are not available from Xerox. 9-TRACK 3-28 The optional 9-track tape drive supports reel-to-reel 9-track 1600 bpi (PE) and 6250 bpi (GCR) encoded magnetic tapes. XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/DOCUPRINT 96MX LPS INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE PREINSTALLATION Space planning templates The dimensions and space requirements for DocuPrint 96/DocuPrint 96MX components are provided earlier in this chapter. The space planning templates are designed to simplify the space planning process by helping you create a floor plan for DocuPrint 96/DocuPrint 96MX base components, particularly if you have shared clearance space. The easiest way to use the space planning templates is to cut the transparency located at the end of this chapter and move the templates around on the grid (also located at the end of this chapter) to find the optimum placement for your LPS components. Be sure to consider other pieces of equipment, such as storage cabinets and tables, when planning space for your LPS. The templates are to scale with the grid; each square is equal to 12 by 12 inches/305 by 305 mm. 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. The templates provided are for the system controller, printer with feeder/stacker modules, and the peripheral cabinet option. Be sure to allow space for optional equipment as appropriate. Your customer support representative can help you plan space for additional components. There are a number of factors to keep in mind when planning your site. These include: • • • Clearance space requirements Cable length Efficiency of use. Refer to these sections when considering the various factors in planning the appropriate location for your DocuPrint 96/DocuPrint 96MX LPS. When determining your space requirements, remember to consider all the components you plan to have installed. If you have a bypass transport or input enablement device option on your DocuPrint 96/ DocuPrint 96MX LPS, you need to work with the sales representatives of the company you purchase your finishers and feeders, as well as your Xerox or Xerox Limited representatives, to ensure space requirements are met.
