CONTROLLER SPECIFICATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS
XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/4635/180 IPS INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE 5-3
Space requirements
The printer controller consists of the Sun workstation and, for
channel-attached systems, the HCU. This section provides
recommendations for placement of controller hardware components.
For printer component space requirements, refer to the “Printer
specifications and requirements” chapter of this guide. Contact your
service representative if you have questions not specifically
addressed in this guide.
Printer controller placement
You should consider the following factors when deciding where to
place the DocuPrint printer controller:
• Adequate work space and service clearance around the
equipment
• Proximity to electrical and network connectors
• Security of the work area. You may need to place the system in
an area where you can restrict access to it.
You must supply a table or desk as a work surface for both the printer
controller and the HCU. The top of the table must provide at least 36
by 36 inches / 91.4 by 91.4 cm of space for each component, to allow
enough space for the components and cables, as well as for service
access.
Refer to the “Printer controller specifications and requirements”
summary table at the end of this chapter to make sure the tables you
supply can support the weight of the printer controller hardware
elements and of the HCU, and that they are suitable for the intended
use.
!
Warning: The printer controller must be positioned within the line-
of-sight of the printer for safety purposes while servicing the
equipment.
Caution: Position the table at least 6 inches / 15.2 cm from the wall.
Make sure the workstation processor and the HCU are at least
12 inches / 30.4 cm from the wall. Do not put the processor or the
HCU on the IPSLPS printer.
