SYSTEM OVERVIEW

Xerox-supplied printer interface The printer interface cable provides high-speed data transport and communication between the Printer Controller and the printer.

Printer The printer (also known as an IOT or print engine) accepts data from the Printer Controller and prints the document according to the print options specified by the user. The printer also provides paper stacking and optional finishing.

DocuPrint Network Printing System The entire DocuPrint Network Printing System includes the printer, (NPS) Printer Controller, printer interface, and all appropriate software.

“DocuPrint printer” or “printer” refers to the base printer engine (IOT) only, without the Printer Controller and interface.

Note: It is your responsibility to supply, install, and maintain hardware and software on any host, PC, DECStation, Sun Workstation, HP/Apollo Workstation, IBM RS/6000 Workstation, or Macintosh system used to generate documents for printing on the DocuPrint printers. You are also responsible for obtaining, installing, and maintaining the required Ethernet LAN, FDDI fiber-optic LAN or Token Ring network, transceivers, and connecting cables.

Xerox is responsible for the physical installation and service of the printer and Printer Controller hardware and software components. You are generally responsible for ensuring that the right personnel, supplies, and network hardware and software are available.

DocuPrint NPS can be configured with a modem to support Sixth Sense remote dial-in capability. This allows service technicians to access your system from a remote location. There are security issues you may need to consider before installing the modem.

DocuPrint Dual Mode

Xerox DocuPrint Dual Mode option enables both DocuPrint NPS and IPS systems to coexist on the same Printer Controller (Sun SPARCstation). This allows the DocuPrint system to receive data streams supported by NPS and IPS, including IPDS, PostScript levels 1 and 2, HP PCL5e, and ASCII.

When the system is in IPS mode, it can accept PostScript and PCL data streams in the background; however, you can print these jobs only when the system is in NPS mode. When it is in NPS mode, it cannot accept IPDS data streams in the background.
