It is important to note that while the bypass transport option provides
you with an interface between your DocuPrint 4890 IPS and your
finishing accessories, the finishing accessories require their own AC
and DC power sources. The power must be independent of your
DocuPrint 4890 IPS.
More information on the bypass transport and document finishing
can be obtained from the Xerox Finishing web site
http://www.xerox-finishing.com/
Included on this web site are the DFA Interface Specifications for
your printer.
Consult your Xerox sales representative, as well as the sales
representative of the company from which you purchased your
finishing equipment, for specific electrical and space requirements.
The mechanical interface between the laser printing and third-party
finishing devices can connect as follows:
•
Physically aligning a finishing device with the exit slot of the
bypass transport exit slot.
•
Docking the third-party finishing device to the bypass transport
and establishing a mechanical and electrical interface between
the two.
When you power up the 4890, the printer automatically detects the
presence of the bypass transport and external finishing devices. The
system also begins monitoring the interlocks (physical links) between
the bypass transport and the finishing device and starts finishing
device interface communications.
