Xerox 4050, 4090 manual Stitcher wire, Diskettes, Tapes, Fonts

Supplies

Stitcher wire

Stitcher wire is a consumable item for a printer equipped with the stitcher/stacker option. You need to order stitcher wire reels and keep them on hand. They are installed by the service representative or operators who have completed the Advanced Customer Training (ACT) or eXcellerate courses offered by Xerox.

Diskettes

Diskettes are optional items that provide loading and backup of fonts, forms, and user files to and from the printing system. The processor accepts 3.5-inch, 1.44 MB, double-sided, high density diskettes.

Tapes

The optional 4 mm cartridge tape drive uses 5 GB or 8 GB tapes.

The 1/4-inch QIC tape drive uses quarter-inch stream cartridge tapes. The tape data capacity should be 320/525 MB. Tape density is critical. The QIC drive can read low density tapes, but to write reliably requires tape with 21,000 Flux Transitions Per Inch (FTPI). The FTPI figure is usually listed on the cartridge.

Fonts

Data can be printed on DocuPrint printers in many sizes and type styles called fonts. A font is a character set which has unique characteristics, such as type style, size, weight, orientation (portrait, landscape, inverse portrait, and inverse landscape), character spacing (fixed and proportional), line spacing, and postures (Roman, italic, and so forth).

There are three classifications of fonts:

•Standard fonts

•Licensed fonts

•Custom fonts.

Standard fonts A library of 51 fonts is provided with your printer operating system software.
