7.Client workstations

This chapter discusses the various client workstation configurations and the processes that may be used to transfer data to the DocuPrint for printing.

Workstations

Print data originates with a document created by the user at a client workstation using an application software package, or at a mainframe or minicomputer. The application allows users to create and format a document according to their exact specifications.

The application software provides the capability to print the document using a page description language (PDL). The application produces print data in one of the supported page description language formats, for example PostScript level 2.

Submitting 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. The method you choose depends on the workstation configuration and the job submission requirements.

Printing directly from the application (sometimes referred to as

“transparent printing”) may require fewer steps, but depending on the application, this method may not support all available print options, such as number of copies, simplex or duplex printing, and stitching. Transparent printing is done using one of the Xerox print drivers, or by using third-party drivers which may also use the Xerox PPD file for your printer.

Using a print job submission program requires a second step in the printing process. The user prints from the application to a PDL data file, usually by specifying a print driver set to print to file. The user then closes the document and uses one of the following methods to submit the job and specify print options:

•The 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.

•

•

Xerox Client Software provides a print command for submitting jobs and specifying print options. The functionality of the print command is dependent on the TCP/IP software installed on the workstation.

Xerox DocuPrint Document Submission Client software for the Macintosh provides a graphical user interface for submitting jobs and specifying print options.
