• 14 inches / 356 mm
• DP 155 and 180–distance from end of printer:

The Xerox DocuPrint 100/115/135/155/180 EPS conforms to IBM
standards and requirements for any channel-attached printer.
When you channel-attach your printing system, 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 / 3.8 m 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)
