CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PRINTER

The NIPSON printer is a non impact printer which uses a magnetographic printing process.
It is a page printer accepting continuous fanfold paper.
The VaryPress 200 printer is available in 3 speed models.
1.
VaryPress 200-30:
the speed can be set at a speed ranging between 30 and 90 m/min (by step of 1m/min) or speed
can vary automatically between 30 and 90 m/min.
2.
VaryPress 200-20:

VaryPress 200-10:
The pinless printer accepts caroll pinfeed paper and pinless paper.
The S.E.D. printer is composed of a printer and a paper turning system.
The first side (recto) is printed on the first passage of the sheet, then the second side is printed
(verso) after the paper has passed under the printer and been turned and the paper width shifted
horizontally. The first side is placed on the operator side.
The T.E.D. printer is composed of two printers. The first side (recto) is printed on theNipson
upstream printer, and the second side on the downstream printer after mechanical turning of the
paper.

PAPER STORAGE
Toner is supplied in sealed containers which should be stored with cap upward.
Storage conditions
-
Paper must not be removed from its original packaging.
Isolate the cartons and rolls from the floor.
To avoid a thermal shock, do not store the rolls and the cartons close to a heat source or
opened windows.
The paper should be protected from physical shocks.
The packaging must be opened only when the paper is to be used.
Climatic conditions must be as close as possible to utilization conditions:

temperature: 18 C to 30C,
Humidity: 30 % to 70 % relative humidity.
Storage conditions outside these limits may be followed by a suitable stabilization period
before use.
In case paper is stored in an area where the temperature is different from the printer room
temperature by more than 5C , it is necessary to respect minimum storage times for paper
brought into the printing room, according to the following table:
Difference of temperature
between paper storage
room and printing room

CLEANING
1.7.1
Cleaning of the printer

The printer should be maintained and cleaned regularly to remove paper and toner particles which
may adhere to it.
For printer cleaning and toner box emptying, the customer must use a vacuum cleaner equipped
with an external absolute filter.
This vacuum cleaner can be ordered with the printer or be provided by the customer and placed at
the field engineers disposal during his intervention.
The main characteristics of the vacuum cleaner are:
100% main filter.
Paper waste recovery bag with a capacity of 4-5 liters.
Vacuum > 1.80 m column of water.
Flexible hose with an external diameter of 32 mm.
Example:
1.7.2
NILFISK vacuum cleaner (No. 3970-39).

It has the following accessories, which can be ordered separately under the following
references:
- Paper bag No. 815300.
- Absolute filter No. 115-650.
- Flexible hose No. 115-435.
Cleaning of the room - dust accumulation

It is recommended that the room of the machines and the associated systems answer the
specifications of the class ISO 8 of standard NF IN ISO 14644-1 relating to the cleanrooms
(corresponding about to the class 100 000 of the Federal Standard 209E).
The table below points out information of the classes concerned.

class 100 000
24 700
If this recommendation is not respected, that will generate adaptations of the frequencies and
maintenance actions.
The cleaning of the system room and the surrounding areas must be made daily with a particular
care, preferably when the printer is not active, with suitable hardware (for example
NILFISK vacuum cleaner (see above)).
A thorough cleaning under the raised floor and of the suspended ceiling should be planned to allow
clean passage of air and cables.
This should be done twice per year by professional cleaners.

It is recommended to insert a water collecting pan under the air-conditioning unit because water can
flow by the overflow pipe when the air-conditioning unit has an incident (failure of the water level
sensor, the resistance or the thermostat).
When the buildings are wet, it is recommended to use the air-conditioning to drain the ambient air
(complementary information on operation is given in the air-conditioning unit manual).
To dehumidify the ambient air, it is necessary either to join this overflow pipe to the sewer, or to
collect water in a collecting pan under the air-conditioning unit.

2.5.3.5
Connection to OS390 + MVS from IBM

The site system engineer must register the printer on the IBM system and check that the PSF
software is installed.
If the printer replaces another printer already connected to the host system, the registration exists.
The system engineer has therefore nothing to modify.
The IBM system must be linked to the Ethernet network, once the TCP/IP software has been
installed and actuated.
For example, to add a printer with OS/390 or MVS, follow these steps:
1.
Printer registration in the JES2.

(see IBM documentation: JES2 Initialization and Tuning Reference)
It is a printer in page mode, commanded by an FSS (Functional SubSystem). The printer has
no physical address (unit), there is therefore no need to register it in the hardware
configuration.
Example of registration in the JES2PARM member:
FSSDEF(FSS7000) PROC=APSW7000
PRT20 FSS=FSS7000,MODE=FSS,PRMODE=(PAGE,LINE),CLASS=I,
TRKCELL=YES,UCS=0,NPRO=0,START=NO
There are three ways to activate printer parameters:
- system re-initializing; this way is never used because the high using rate of the system
- enabling dynamically printer parameters by using JES2 command "ADD". Example:
ADD FFSDEF(FSS7000) PROC=APSW7000
ADD FSS=FSS7000,MODE=FSS,PRTMODE=(PAGE,LINE),CLASS=I,
TRKCELL=YES,UCS=0,NPRO=0,START=NO
- enabling dynamically printer parameters by using InfoPrint Server capability (only with version
of OS/390 greater or equal to 3.8). In this case, the first and only parameter of the command is
"INV". See PSF documentation, about InfoPrint Server and Printer Inventory references.
Example:
ADD FSS=FSS7000,INV=toto
Where "toto" is the name of the database file containing printer parameters
2.

UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION PREPARATION

So that the printer is unpacked and installed in the best possible conditions, the following points
must be considered when preparing the site.
2.6.1
Unloading the lorry

-
2.6.2
Unpacking the modules

-
2.6.3
Easy access for the lorry.

Unloading bay required.
Trolley required.
Outside: prepare a waterproof cover in case of rain.

Inside: trolley required.
Moving the printer to the customer's computer room

-
Trolley required, apart from the transporter's.
If there are access ramps, a winch may be needed, depending on the slope.
If there are stairs, a suitable trolley is required.
Width of corridors: preferably greater than 1.20 m.
In case of soft" floors (carpet, ...), prepare boards or a pallet truck.
If there are lifts, check that the dimensions are compatible, and prepare a steel sheet to
facilitate movement into the lift.
ATTENTION
If there is a great difference of temperature or relative humidity
between the installation room (see 1.3) and the packed machine, it
is necessary to keep the printer in its packing during a few hours
before proceeding to the installation.
The fact of not respecting this instruction can involve risks of
deterioration of the material.

REQUIREMENTS
3.7.1
Using a pre processor device

-
During a stoppage caused by pre-post processing, the printer does not stop immediately but
finishes printing the current page.
For this reason the printer cannot work with "taut paper" between the Pre- Processor Device
and the Paper Input to the Printer.
Therefore to avoid rupture of the paper, it is imperative to have a loop of paper not less than
a sheet height + 200 mm.
Example :
If Paper Height =17 inches

Loop length = (17 x 25.4) + 200 = 632 mm
The tension "F" exercised by the Pre Processor device on the paper at the input of the printer
must not exceed 5 Newtons.
3-14

VARYPRESS 200
3.7.2
Using a post processor device

-
The Post-Processing Device must be capable to handle a backward paper movement of

maximum 150 mm equal to that of printer.
The tension "F" exercised by the Post Processor device on the paper at the output of the
printer must not exceed 5 Newtons.
3.7.3
Using a post processor device with a printer in S.E.D. mode

If the printer is used in S.E.D. mode (Single Engine Duplex), the paper output of the printer is on
the right side of the printer of the forward paper movement. So the post processor will have to be
adapted in this case.

4.5.3
Inputs
1/6 inch pulse signal (NTPI + , NTPI-)
Since the printer generates a positive pulse for a paper movement of 1/6 inch, this signal is
used by the ST20 to set the paper loop.
The ratio between the upper and lower level must be 50%.
1/6"
Direction of paper movement (SDP+, SDP-)

This signal is used to inform the ST20 in which direction the paper moves in order that it may
manage the forward or backward movement of the paper.
"0": Paper forward
"1": Paper backward
Paper movement (MVP+, MVP-)

This signal received by the ST20 indicates that the printer will start printing. It is activated
approximately 2 seconds before printing. This anticipation time is valid only during paper
scrolling.
"0" paper movement
"1" no paper movement
NOTE: this signal is used by the ST20 only.
Serial link (RXD-H, RXD1-L)
The ST20 receives information from the printer via a serial link in differential mode. This serial
link is of the RS 422 type.
