Printer components The NPS/IPS printers contain the xerographic engine, two standard feeder trays, a sample tray, the printer console, and one of three possible output configurations: the dual stacker, the dual stacker with bypass transport, or the stitcher/stacker.
Page 46: Printer Console
The Stop and Continue buttons give you temporary control of the printer without interrupting input processing. NOTE: The 4850/4890/92C does not provide sample prints while a job is running, therefore, the Sample Print button has no effect on the operation.
Page 47 The yellow attention light glows whenever the system detects an actual or potential problem. When the attention light starts flashing, an explanatory message appears on the printer console display. A similar error or warning message appears on the user interface of the printer controller.
Page 48 The printer mode is indicated by the words that are lighted--Black or Highlight (color). The printer indicates the color of ink loaded in the printer by lighting one of the icons on the right (red, blue, green, or “other”).

Page 54: Stitcher/Stacker
Printer components and options Stitcher/stacker The stitcher/stacker inserts wire-stitches (staples) into documents. Figure 3-7. 4850/4890/92C NPS/IPS printer with stitcher/ stacker 1. Sample tray 2. Stitcher/stacker tray Sample tray Used for sample prints, rejected prints, and transparencies. Holds up to 100 sheets of 20-pound or 80 gsm bond.
Page 55: Bypass Transport (4850 And 4890 Only)
Bypass transport (4850 and 4890 only) The optional bypass transport enables individual printed sheets of paper to pass through the NPS/IPS output tray to third-party finishing devices. These devices perform a variety of finishing tasks, such as saddle-stitching, binding, folding, stapling, trimming, and stacking.

Clear paper jams in the bypass transport. You learn how to install and remove the bypass transport and clear jams in the operator training that is provided by Xerox following installation of the bypass transport. In addition, you must know how to prepare the third-party finishing device to process printed output.
Page 57: Profiles For Third-Party Finishing Devices
Connecting the bypass transport to third-party finishing devices involves the following: Installation Planning Guide Printer components and options 3-13...
Page 58 Module mobility: Your finishing device must be easy to move so that you can align it precisely. The following figure illustrates the alignment and docking locations for the bypass transport on the printer (the bypass transport support is not shown). Figure 3-10. Alignment and docking locations (in millimeters) 1.
Page 59: Electrical Connection
After a sheet of paper passes through the bypass transport to the external finishing device, the printer loses all record of it. Communications between the printer with bypass transport and the finishing device consist of command and status signals.
Page 60: Paper Paths
The figure below illustrates the simplex (one-sided output) paper path of a printer with a dual stacker tray and a standard feeder tray. The materials move from either feeder tray 1 or feeder tray 2 and are stacked in either stacker tray 1, stacker tray 2, or the sample tray, depending on your selection at the beginning of the job.

Page 98: Ccu Changeout Cart
Therefore, if you intend to print using more than one dry ink color, you should have one cart for each CCU. NOTE: If there is more than one printer at your site, it may not be necessary to have one cart per CCU. Consult with your site representative for more information.
Page 99: Space Planning Guidelines
This reduces the amount of time required for the printer to set up the color developer housing (inside the CCU) once it is installed and therefore reduces the amount of total time required for a change of dry ink color.
Page 100: Clearance Space Requirements

Page 115: System Connections
This chapter provides cable requirements for your DocuPrint 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.
Page 116: 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 117: Channel Attachments
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).

Page 128 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 129 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.

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 156: Job Parameters
DocuPrint 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.
Page 157: Remote Printer (Rprinter
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 158: Docuprint Nps/Ips As A Print Server Or As A Remote Printer
