1. Preinstallation

This chapter assists you in preparing for the installation of your

Laser Printing System (LPS). Consult your sales representative for

the requirements of any related equipment or communications

devices that may have been ordered.

Responsibilities

A successful installation depends upon both you and Xerox. The

sections that follow describe your responsibilities and the

responsibilities Xerox has to you. Some areas overlap and are

joint responsibilities. Your service representatives are available to

discuss installation issues and to assist you in completing the site

installation.

Xerox responsibilities

Xerox responsibilities prior to, during, and after installation are

outlined in table 1-1. Some services are dependent on the

amount of support purchased or included with your system.

Table 1-1. Xerox responsibilities

Site selection • Assist in site selection

• Inspect and improve site

Installation

• Schedule the delivery of your LPS

• Monitor installation activities

• Assist you in ordering supplies and fonts

• Install the LPS

• Configure your system parameters (4450/MRP)

Training

• Provide standard operator training

• Assist in determining system and training needs

• Assist in scheduling system and user training

Support

• Provide assistance and information, as needed, in the areas of:

— Software capabilities

— Selecting software options

— Operations

— Applications and forms development

— Interface capabilities

— Interface capabilities with third-party finishers

Service

• Review preventive maintenance schedules and service call procedures

• Determine your needs and then set the wire percentage indicator on the printer

control console (stitcher/stacker option)

• Provide ongoing system maintenance

• Resolve hardware/software problems.

PREINSTALLATION

Customer responsibilities

Your responsibilities prior to, during, and after installation are

detailed in table 1-2.

Table 2-1. Customer responsibilities

Activities • Identify the primary interface with Xerox

• Select and prepare the site for LPS installation (including adequate power and air

conditioning)

• Obtain the necessary interfaces, cables, transceivers, phone lines, and so on, if

connecting to other equipment

• Plan for and schedule installation activities

• Monitor progress for a successful installation

• Provide space for hardware options

• Work with your sales representative to determine requirements for initial

applications

• Work with your service representative to determine the “low wire” percent values

to be displayed on the printer control console (stitcher/stacker option)

• Select operators and system specialists, and schedule their training.

Notes:

In a mixed environment where there are a variety of printing systems, discuss print

quality differences with your service representative.

Ensure that your system specialists are familiar with the operating system software

specific to your LPS. Operating system software is not the same for all laser printing

systems. If your system specialists are familiar with one operating system and you are

converting to or adding another, they should learn the differences between the

systems.

Training Operator training is conducted at your site shortly after the LPS is installed. Operators

receive hands-on instruction regarding printing jobs, maintenance, and problem solving.

Xerox offers a number of workshops and self-paced courses that teach advanced skills,

including Advanced Customer Training (ACT). Contact your sales representative for

additional information about these courses, or call Xerox Customer Education at 1-800-

445-5554. Refer to the “Training” section of this chapter.

Personnel One or more people need to be assigned the following routine LPS tasks:

• Preventive maintenance and cleaning

• Changing stitcher wire (with the stitcher/stacker option; performed by ACT-trained

operators only)

• Meter reading and reporting

• Placing service calls for hardware problems and applications-related issues

• Identifying and implementing new applications

• Ordering additional fonts

• Ordering supplies.

Refer to the “Postinstallation” chapter for information on these activities.

Installation planning checklist

An installation planning checklist is provided to aid you in LPS

installation planning. Table 1-3 summarizes the tasks that must

be performed and when in the installation process they should

occur.

Use the checklist as a guide for ensuring the successful

installation of your LPS. Should you have any questions, contact

your sales representative or local Xerox or Rank Xerox office.

• Week column shows the approximate time an activity should

occur. The weeks shown relate to the installation date. For

example, -4 is four weeks prior to installation.

• Reference column lists the chapter in this manual which

provides detailed information for that activity.

Notes:

• Time frames shown are intended to serve only as guidelines.

Consult your suppliers to determine exact lead times.

• Information on Xerox Print Management Facility—VMS

Version (XPMF/VMS) installation requirements are located in

LPS space and delivery requirements

Dimensions and weights of the LPS system controller and printer

are listed in this chapter, along with diagrams to help you

visualize their sizes and total space requirements.

Note: There must be a 78 inch/1,981.2 mm vertical clearance

throughout the entire area. In addition, your LPS must be

installed in a fixed location with a minimum clearance space of

36 inches/914 mm around all sides of each piece of equipment

for access by Xerox service representatives.

Space planning templates, a space planning template

transparency, and a grid are provided at the end of this chapter

to assist you in planning the placement of your LPS. Contact

your service representative if you have questions not specifically

addressed in this guide.

The following diagrams represent top views of the components,

surrounded by the required 36-inch/914 mm clearance on all

sides.

System controller with 9-track The 9-track magnetic tape drive sits on top of the 4050, 4090,

magnetic tape drive dimensions 4450, or 4650 system controller and has no additional width or

depth requirements.

Its height and weight, however, may be important

considerations. When calculating the 78-inch/1,981 mm height

clearance for the system controller, make sure you add 32.5

inches/825 mm for the 9-track magnetic tape drive.

Note: When viewed from the front, the magnetic tape drive is

positioned on the top of the right half of the 4050 system

controller and on the top of the left half of the 4090/4650 system

controller.

Its weight should also be factored into the LPS total weight.

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.
