However, they must be removable to allow servicing of the DocuPrint 4635, 96, or 180 printer feeders and stackers.
Page 106 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.

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.
Page 126: Cable Locations
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.

Page 133: Supplies
A. 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.
Page 134 Use a good quality, xerographic-grade paper. For best results, weight and grade: 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.
Page 135: 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).
Page 136 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.
Page 137 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...
Page 138 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 (16- pound / 60 gsm) large papers can cause jams throughout the system and are not recommended.
Page 139 US papers The following diagrams show how US Letter and US Ledger (or US Tabloid) paper sizes feed through the printer. Installation Planning Guide Figure A-3. A4 / 210 by 297 mm paper feeding (long edge feed) Figure A-4. A3 / 297 by 420 mm paper feeding (short edge feed) Figure A-5.

US Ledger or US Tabloid (11 by 17 inch) paper B4 papers There are two sizes of B4 paper—European or ISO (9.84 by 13.89 inches / 250 by 353 mm) and Japanese or JIS B4 (14.33 by 10.12 inches / 364 by 257 mm). European B4 feeds long edge first, while JIS B4 feeds either long edge or short edge first.

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. Installation Planning Guide...
Page 142 Conditioning Because temperature and humidity affect paper performance in paper 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.
Page 143 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.
Page 144: Other Supplies
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.
Page 145: Fuser Agent
(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.

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.
Page 172: Job Parameters
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.
Page 173: 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.
Page 174 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.
