4.Network printing environment

The NPS/IPS system supports the personal computer (PC), Sun workstation, DEC workstation, HP/Apollo, IBM RS/6000 and Apple Macintosh. It accepts PostScript levels 1 and 2, PCL 5, TIFF, and ASCII output.

Client workstations and system software

To send print jobs to the printer, the customer needs to provide the proper client hardware, operating system, and network software.

Print data originates at the client workstation, mainframe or minicomputer. This is where a user creates and formats documents according to specifications with the help of application software. The printer supports the following types of networked client workstations and operating systems:

•Sun workstation running a Sun or Linux operating system

•PC running MS-DOS 6.2 and Microsoft Windows 95, 98, NT, 4.0, 2000, and ME using Ethernet with TCP/IP or Novell NetWare 3.11 and 3.12.

NOTE: Customers using Novell 4.1 must set the “Bindery Emulation Mode” to be backwards compatible with Novell 3.11 and 3.12.

•IBM RS/6000 running IBM AIX, version 4.1

•HP/Apollo running HP-UX, version 10.01

•DECStation 5000/200 running DEC Ultrix, version 4.3

•Apple Macintosh, System 7, 7.5, or 8.x, using AppleTalk through EtherTalk, phase 1 or 2

•Any system that supports RFC-1179 lpr/lpd.

The software may be compatible with workstation models and software versions other than those listed above.
