This chapter provides cable requirements for your Xerox
DocuPrint 100/115/135/155/180 EPS. It also provides information
about channel-attaching your printer. To ensure all of your cable
requirements are met, work with your Xerox representative.
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.
Cables supplied with the printer are long enough to meet the
needs of most installations. Some of these cables are specific
lengths to conform to engineering and safety standards.
The printer and controller can be separated up to the length of the
interface cables that connect them. The printer and controller are
connected by a 20 foot / 6.1 meter cable, or an optional 50 foot /
15.2 meter cable.
The printing system power cable lengths are as follows:

WARNING: Using an inappropriate alternate cable may degrade
the performance of your equipment and may also be hazardous.
NOTE: Cable length loss must be factored in if equipment is
installed in a raised-floor environment. You should also consider
that part of the length of a cable is routed inside the equipment to
connect with interior power or data receptacles.
To run the cables beneath the flooring, you must know where the
cables enter and exit the printer. The following diagrams shows
that location marked with an X.
