Preparing for installation
Installation Planning Guide 4-3
NOTE: Operating system software is not the same for all printing
systems. Therefore, make sure that your system specialists are
familiar with the operating system software that is specific to your
DocuPrint system. If your system specialists are familiar with one
operating systems and you are converting to, or adding another,
they should be familiar with the differences.
Site personnel Identify the person (or persons) at your site who will be the
primary interface with Xerox.
After the installation of the printing system, there are a few
ongoing tasks that must be performed. These tasks may include
all or some of the following:
• Meter reading and reporting
• Overseeing routine maintenance
• Placing service calls for hardware problems
• Ordering additional documentation, software, or fonts
• Arranging additional operator training
• Maintaining an adequate inventory of consumable supplies.
It is your responsibility to designate a person (or persons) to
perform these tasks.
