XEROX 4050/4090/4450/4650 LPS INSTALLATION PLANNING 1-13

PREINSTALLATION

Shared space

It is always best to provide the full amount of clearance space around your LPS. It is sometimes necessary, however, to have shared space between components, such as between the printer and the system controller, or between the 4050, 4090, 4450, or 4650 LPS and another printing system. It is possible to share the 36 inch/914 mm clearance space around each component, but there are three rules which must always be observed:

Space may be shared only with other Xerox equipment.

Components may share the 36 inch/914 mm general service clearance areas, but they may not share the 24 inch/609 mm operator area in front of each component.

There must be 78 inches/1,981 mm of vertical clearance throughout the entire area.

Figures 1-8 and 1-9 illustrate two possible configurations of shared space. In the first illustration, two printers are back to back. Because there is no operator area to be concerned with, the entire 36 inches/914 mm of general service space may be shared.

Figure 1-8. Back-to-back shared service area space

Figure 1-9 shows the two printers facing each other. The printers share 12 inches/305 mm of the general service space but not the exclusive operator area in front of each printer. Therefore, the printers must be 24 inches/610 mm + 24 inches/610 mm + 12 inches/305 mm apart: the entire operator space for each printer plus the shared general service area of 12 inches/305 mm.

1-14 XEROX 4050/4090/4450/4650 LPS INSTALLATION PLANNING

PREINSTALLATION

Figure 1-9. Face-to-face shared service area space

Terminal

Requirements for the terminal follow:

Terminal must sit within 15 ft/4.6 m of the system controller (usually directly on it).

Power source (wall or under flooring) for the terminal must be within the maximum 15-ft/4.6 m length of the power cord.

Note: To ensure the safety of service personnel during maintenance and service, the terminal must be in the same room as the printer and in direct line of sight with it.

Efficiency of use

There are many possible layouts for your LPS. Placement depends on the type and amount of equipment and the size and shape of the room used to house the equipment. Some possible configurations for LPS components include:

Side by side L-shaped Face to face.

Equipment placement should limit operator movements as much as possible. Here are a few suggestions that may be helpful:

XEROX 4050/4090/4450/4650 LPS INSTALLATION PLANNING 1-15

PREINSTALLATION

Place the system controller as close to the output end of the printer as possible. This enables operators to reach over to collect and check printed output.

Consider the location of supplies in relation to the placement of the equipment. For example, having paper as close to the printer as possible saves time.

Placing the system controller as close to offline interface devices saves time when monitoring tapes, jobs, and so on.

Delivery access requirements

It is easy to overlook how the equipment is going to get from the truck to the operation site.

Does it need to go up stairs?

Do you have an elevator if it will be located above the first floor?

Is the elevator large enough?

How wide are the hallways and the doorways?

Do you have a loading dock or a specific door to which the equipment should be delivered?

All these issues must be reviewed prior to or at the time of the site inspection that is performed by your service representative.

The equipment dimensions are specified earlier in this chapter, so it is easy to know whether your hallways and doorways are wide enough to permit travel through them.

Turning radius The width of the passageway where the equipment must negotiate a corner, whether into a room (or elevator) or into another passageway, must also be considered.

There are L-shaped turns and T-shaped turns. The diagrams and tables that follow show the minimum space needed to maneuver through the turns. To use the tables, measure the passage or doorway width into which you want to move at its minimum width. This is Passage A. Find that number (or the next higher number) on the appropriate table (table 1-13 or 1-14) and read across to the corresponding minimum value for Passage B, depending on the type of turn the equipment must negotiate. Figure 1-10 shows the two types of turns.

Xerox supports a number of third-party connections. For product recommendations and ordering information, contact The Xerox Connection.

Reference Refer to the back of this manual for information regarding The Xerox Connection.

1-22 XEROX 4050/4090/4450/4650 LPS INSTALLATION PLANNING

PREINSTALLATION

Connecting IBM host equipment

If you have an existing Xerox LPS installed and are communicating with an IBM host environment, you may have an 871 Communications Module installed. You may continue to use that device for connection to the LPS.

If this is your first Xerox LPS installation, The Xerox Connection may recommend the BARR/SNA device. This is a PC-based device that enables printing of host datastreams from a remote site, 3270 emulation to network users, and allows transfer of large files from your host environment to the LPS.

Contact The Xerox Connection for additional information on either of these interface products or for a suitable recommendation for your particular environment. The Xerox Connection can provide you with statistics and installation requirements for any recommended interface product.

Connecting DEC equipment using XPMF-VMS

The Xerox Print Management Facility (XPMF) is an interconnect product that includes the hardware, software, and documentation necessary to link your LPS with various Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) VAX and micro VAX systems. General installation guidelines are described below. Contact your Xerox sales representative.

Reference Refer to the Xerox Print Symbiont Installation Guide for additional information on this interconnect product.

XPMF is composed of three elements:

Hardware components installed on the Xerox printer (by Xerox personnel)

Appropriate DEC synchronous communications controller, modems, and communications line installed on the DEC VAX (by DEC personnel)

XPMF-VMS software installed on the VAX/VMS system (by you).

The host software module included in the XPMF package is specifically designed for compatibility with the Digital Electronic Corporation VMS operating system. The UNIBUS communications controller is compatible with the communications controllers of each of the following DEC bus- type environments:

UNIBUS VAXBI Q-bus.

Possible configurations

There are a number of possible configurations, including:

Single or multi-user standalone environments with a single processor. Terminals are connected to the processor using a DEC connectivity device.

XEROX 4050/4090/4450/4650 LPS INSTALLATION PLANNING 1-23

PREINSTALLATION

Two or more standalone systems can be linked together to enable the transfer of information between systems using two processors. With a modem and the appropriate communications controller installed in one of the DEC processors, data from another processor can be submitted to the LPS using that processor.

DEC systems may be located in different geographic locations. Standard telephone lines form the communications network across town or cities. The linkage for the LPS remains the same: the appropriate DEC communications controller, XPMF/VMS software in the host processor, and XPMF/VMS hardware in the LPS.

Terminals, processors, and other devices may be linked in a Local Area Network (LAN) using Ethernet. The LPS is connected using the communications controller linked to one of the host processors (the client) in the LAN. As a result, all processors connected to the Ethernet network access the LPS through the client processor. A modem is used to transmit print data to the printer.

Wide Area Network (WAN) connects sites or multi-vendor systems that may be located around the world. Independent of the complexity of the network configuration, the connectivity to the LPS remains the same.

VAX systems and intelligent storage controllers may be clustered. In a VAX cluster system, the various devices are connected to a common distribution unit, such as an SC008 Star Coupler. Each processor operates independently, with common access to the various storage elements connected to the intelligent I/O controllers (servers). The result is the linkage of numerous computer resources that appear to the user as a single system. Print data is transmitted from the cluster to the LPS using a modem.

Note: The modem is optional if your LPS is within 50 ft/15.2 m of the DEC processor.

Components

Table 1-19 describes the hardware and software components your LPS requires when connecting to DEC equipment.

Table 1-19. Components

Hardware The hardware interface residing in the LPS is the DMR11 Synchronous Controller. It is installed into the LPS system controller with an adapter kit and cable supplied by Xerox.

Software The XPMF/VMS interface is supported by Xerox software on both the LPS and the VAX system.

The VAX-resident software performs the print supervisor (symbiont) role in the DEC print architecture and enhances the uses of the LPS. Refer to the Xerox Print Management Facility VMS Version Installation Guide for additional information on the installation of this software.

1-28 XEROX 4050/4090/4450/4650 LPS INSTALLATION PLANNING

PREINSTALLATION

Paper

Select your paper carefully; without the proper paper, the probability of paper jams and misfeeds increases.

Acceptable paper stocks and sizes Your LPS can print on standard white, colored, predrilled, and preprinted (for example, letterhead and forms) paper, labels, and transparencies. They must meet the specifications set forth by Xerox for operability in the LPS.

Reference Additional information about paper for your LPS can be found in Helpful Facts About Paper.

Paper weights and grade For best results, use 20 pound/80 gsm (grams per square meter) bond xerographic grade paper. Xerox 4024 Dual Purpose Paper and Xerox 10 Series Dual Purpose Paper are specifically designed for optimal performance in your LPS.

Reference Refer to the Consumable supplies table in the Postinstallation chapter for a list of papers and supplies.

Use paper within the following parameters:

Lightest: 20 pound/80 gsm Heaviest: 110 pound/200 gsm

Your LPS accepts 8 1/2 by 11 inch, 8 1/2 by 14 inch, and A4 (210 by 297 mm) cut sheet paper.

Note: If you have a 4650 LPS, it is recommended that you use Xerox 10 Series, or other high-quality paper, to receive optimum quality for your applications.

Storing paper Paper has a tendency to curl when exposed to the heat that is present inside xerographic equipment. Paper with low moisture content curls less. Paper with excessive moisture content has a tendency to jam because of the greater curl.

Note: The maximum recommended moisture content is 5.7%.

Paper is fed into the LPS with the long side as the leading edge. The grain should be parallel with the long side (long grain) for the most reliable feeding and stacking. Purchase long grain paper.

Keep these points in mind when preparing your paper storage area.

Store paper in its own wrapper; do not leave it unwrapped or where it can be damaged by dampness or heat.

Store paper on a flat surface and not on its side or edge.

Store reams of paper in a closed cabinet.

Always store paper in a cool, dry area.

Store paper on pallets or shelves, not on the floor.

Keep a supply of paper designed to last several hours in the same area as the printer to allow for the environmental stabilization of the paper.

XEROX 4050/4090/4450/4650 LPS INSTALLATION PLANNING 1-29
