You have the general site responsibility of ensuring that the right personnel, supplies, and network information are available. At the time of installation, you should do the following: •...
“Loading the IPS software license text stream”). This license is enabled by entering a 20-character authorization text string at the printer controller keyboard. Your Xerox service representative obtains this license text string for you and enters it when your IPS is installed.
INSTALLATION Ongoing maintenance Routine maintenance Meter reading and reporting After the installation of your Xerox DocuPrint IPS, there are a few ongoing tasks that must be performed. These tasks may include the following: • Maintaining an adequate inventory of consumable supplies •...
You need to select your paper carefully. If you do not use the proper paper, you increase the probability of paper jams and misfeeds. The stocks you use must meet the specifications set forth by Xerox for operability in the printer. For additional information about paper specifications, refer to Helpful Facts about Paper, delivered with your printer.
Page 88
• Grain long (parallel with the long side of paper). Paper is usually fed into the printer with the long side as the leading edge. When you purchase paper, buy long-grain paper. Make sure the grain is parallel with the long side (long-grain) for the most reliable feeding and stacking.
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. Figure A-1.

Recommended temperature and humidity for paper storage Because temperature and humidity affect paper performance in 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.

XEROX DOCUPRINT 92C IPS INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE 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.
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 30,000 pages for black dry ink and 86,500 pages for colored dry ink.

DEFINING THE PRINTER TO THE HOST: TCP/IP ATTACHMENT This section describes the process for configuring a TCP/IP attached host computer with OS/2 to print on an IPDS printer such as your IPS. The following worksheet will help you in planning the IPS installation.
If TCP/IP does not appear an available attachment type, either TCP/IP for OS/2 or the TCP/IP Attachment Support in PSF/2 has not been installed. (Refer to the appropriate IBM installation guide for details.) XEROX DOCUPRINT 92C IPS INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE Your value TCP/IP...

EZA0458I Ping V3R1: Pinging host 9.99.12.33 EZA0463I PING: Ping #1 timed out. Printing a test job XEROX DOCUPRINT 92C IPS INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE DEFINING THE PRINTER TO THE HOST: TCP/IP ATTACHMENT If PSF/2 output for the IPS prints elsewhere: Follow these steps to determine whether the IP address of the printer is unique.
If the entry never changes status to “Printing,” either the queue or the entry is in a “Hold” state, or OS/2 is unable to contact the printer to initiate printing. If the entry enters a “Printing” state then disappears, but no output was produced on the IPS printer, check to see if the output was printed elsewhere.
TCP/IP for OS/2 and the IPS printer may improve printer performance. If the printer is on a LAN that also has a large number of other devices attached to it, the high levels of traffic on the LAN can cause printer speed degradation.
