Online The channel-attached host computer input is received by the DocuPrint 180 LPS online interface. In an online environment, the system controller is physically wired to the host computer. The host computer “thinks” it is communicating with an IBM 3211 line printer and an IBM 3811 printing system controller, or an IBM 4245 line printer.

DDI interface The Dynamic Document Interface (DDI) enables communication between a Xerox DocuPrint 180 LPS and network via a shared disk mechanism over a SCSI bus. Refer to the Xerox Dynamic Document Interface Operator Guide for information regarding the DDI.

Offline Magnetic tape input (9- or 18/36-track) is received by the offline interface. The LPS Tape Formats Manual describes the tape format and encryption schemes which a Xerox LPS recognizes.
