Channel attachments

Installation Planning Guide
The Xerox DocuPrint 100/115/135/155/180 EPS conforms to
IBM standards and requirements for any channel-attached
printer. When you channel-attach your printing system, 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).
• Subtract 15 feet / 3.8 m from the total allowable cable length
for any device attached to the channel or for any connection
of two cables.
• IBM channel cable lengths are as follows:
– Gray: 200 feet / 61 m (with one device, 185 feet / 56 m)
– Blue: 400 feet / 122 m (with one device, 385 feet / 117 m)
