SYSTEM OVERVIEW

The Xerox-provided software provides an interface with the Printer

Controller, which allows you to submit print jobs and check job status.

Note: The DocuPrint NPS printing options available to a client user vary according to the software loaded on the client workstation.

For additional information on submitting jobs from a client workstation, refer to the job submission documentation.

Ethernet LAN

Users of networked client workstations may send print jobs to the

DocuPrint NPS printer over the Ethernet LAN using either the TCP/

IP, AppleTalk using EtherTalk Link Access Protocol (ELAP), or

Novell NetWare as the network protocol.

Regardless of printing or transmission protocol, the Ethernet connection to the Printer Controller must be compatible with the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.3 standard.

FDDI Backbone LAN

FDDI is ANSI-standard 100 megabit fiber optic backbone LAN using up to 200 km of optical fiber, or twisted copper pairs for short hops. It is available for DocuPrint NPS only in the Solaris 2.x environment, and supports TCP/IP protocol and Novell NetWare. The Sun FDDI driver is incorporated into the NPS print controller software. DocuPrint NPS supports the optical fiber implementation of FDDI.

Token Ring

Users of networked client workstations may send print jobs to the

DocuPrint NPS printer over a Token Ring network using TCP/IP,

Novell NetWare or AppleTalk network protocol.

Regardless of the printing transmission protocol, the Token Ring connection to the Printer Controller must be compatible with the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.5 standard.
