Customer-supplied client PC or Users create their documents at the networked client PCs or workstation workstations using software applications that generate either

PostScript, HP PCL 5e, or ASCII output. When ready to print, users submit the documents to the Printer Controller.

Customer-supplied network The customer will need to supply a network:

•

•

Ethernet local area network (LAN) with Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), AppleTalk, or Novell NetWare 3.x network protocols

Token Ring with TCP/IP, AppleTalk, or Novell Netware 3.x network protocols

•FDDI Fiber-Optic backbone LAN with Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) or Novell NetWare 3.x network protocols.

DocuPrint NPS supports multiple network connectivity, that is, the ability for protocols such as TCP/IP to run on more than one network interface. Refer to the section “Multiple network connectivity.”

Note: Customers using Novell 4.1 must set the “Bindery Emulation

Mode” to be backward compatible with Novell 3.12.

DocuPrint NPS also provides support for SNMP, the Simple Network Management Protocol. This agent allows the connection of SNMP manager clients to DocuPrint NPS printers. Currently, the agent supports the Xerox PrinterMap client. This allows the operator to view printer status information (such as the amount of loaded paper) from a client.

Xerox-supplied Printer Controller The Printer Controller accepts the print job from the client workstation, converts the files into page images, and sends the page images to the printer. The user interface at the Printer Controller allows you to perform tasks such as monitoring job status, prioritizing jobs, and configuring the system. The optional cartridge tape drive can be used for tasks such as backing up files. The CD-ROM drive allows you to install the Printer Controller software and fonts.
