Network printing environment

Client software

On your PC or workstation, you must install or set up a supported means of submitting jobs to the printer. Depending on your system, you can use the following:

Xerox drivers for Windows 3.x, 95/98, or NT/2000

Xerox Document Submission Software for DOS, Windows 3.x, 95/98, NT/2000, or Macintosh

Third-party drivers

Some PostScript drivers can be used in conjunction with Xerox-supplied PPD files

HP Color LaserJet for PCL 5c jobs

HP LaserJet 4 for monochrome jobs

Third-party TCP/IP lpd utility

Apple/Macintosh Printer Access Protocol (PAP)

NOTE: The printing options vary according to the network software that is loaded on the client workstation.

Submitting print jobs

There are basically two ways you can submit print jobs: You can send print data directly from the application to the printer; or you can create a PDL data file on the workstation and then send the data file to the printer. The method you choose depends on the workstation configuration and the job submission requirements.

Sending the print data directly from the application to the printer is accomplished with a Xerox print driver or a third-party driver. This method is sometimes referred to as “transparent printing.” It may not support all available print options, such as number of copies, simplex or duplex printing, and stitching.

The other way to submit print jobs to the printer is by creating a PDL data file. After the file is created, the user closes the document and submits the job using one of the following methods:

lpr command: Provides options for submitting print jobs. The functionality of the lpr command is dependent on the TCP/IP software installed on the workstation.
