SYSTEM OVERVIEW

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. Sixth Sense 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 configuration allows the DocuPrint system to receive data streams supported by NPS and IPS, including IPDS, PostScript levels 1 and 2, HP PCL 5c or 5e, 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.

Client workstations and system software

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