1. Xerox DocuPrint 180 LPS overview

The Xerox DocuPrint 180 Laser Printing System (LPS) is a versatile, high-performance printing system that processes and prints data from a variety of sources. It enables host mainframe computers and network-connected devices (such as workstations and graphic scanners) to produce publications and other documents, incorporating graphics, forms, logos, signatures, and a variety of fonts.

With the Xerox DocuPrint 180 LPS, management information systems (MIS) and data processing (DP) environments have a high- performance printer in which built-in intelligence eliminates the need for the host computer to store and manage forms, fonts, and other document resources.

Data is printed at a rate of up to 180 pages per minute (206 with the optional Paper Feeding Enhancement Kit installed). A variety of fonts ranging in size from 3 points to 36 points, in all four orientations (portrait, inverse portrait, landscape, inverse landscape), and many publishing typefaces are available to meet your printing require- ments. In addition to the standard set of fonts that is delivered with the DocuPrint 180 LPS, special or customized fonts can be developed by the Xerox Font Center. Your sales representative will provide you with further information.
