CONTROLLER SPECIFICATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS
5-4 XEROX DOCUPRINT 4850/4890 IPS INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE
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.
The printer controller consists of the Sun workstation and, for
channel-attached systems, the HCU. 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 by 91
cm of space for each component, to allow enough space for the
components and cables, as well as for service access.
Refer to the “4850/4890 IPS printer controller specifications and
power 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 IPS printer.
