PREINSTALLATION

Ordering supplies for installation

Consumable supplies (those that are depleted during operation of the LPS), such as paper, dry ink, developer, and fuser agent, need to be ordered for your LPS. It is important that you have an adequate supply on hand for installation and that you maintain an adequate supply after installation.

A set of standard fonts is provided with your system (refer to the “LPS overview” chapter). If nonstandard fonts are needed, they also must be ordered from the Xerox Font Center, described in the “Postinstallation” chapter.

This section describes the fonts and supplies needed for installation. Your Xerox or Xerox Limited sales representative will help you place your initial order for fonts (if any) and supplies. The “Postinstallation” chapter provides you with the information you need to order additional supplies as you require them, a consumable supplies table, and a supplies checklist.

Fonts

Data can be printed on the DocuPrint 96/DocuPrint 96MX 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 Provided with your LPS operating system software is a library of over 250 standard 300 spi fonts, referred to as the A03 font family.

Licensed fonts In addition to the library of standard fonts delivered with your LPS, over 100 licensed fonts may be ordered from the Xerox Font Center.

Custom fonts Custom fonts and graphic images such as company logos and signatures can be digitized by the Xerox Font Center for use on your LPS.

Receiving fonts The fonts provided by the Xerox Font Center are contained on 9- track tape, 18-track cartridges, or 1/4-inch cartridges. One tape may contain several fonts, each of which is a separate file. Fonts may also be sent to the LPS from an online host computer through an IBM- compatible channel.

As with the other initial supplies, your Xerox or Xerox Limited sales representative will assist you with determining your LPS fonts needs for installation. After installation, the Xerox Font Center can help you order additional licensed and custom fonts. (Refer to the “Xerox Font Center” section of the “Postinstallation” chapter)
