1.Product overview

The NPS/IPS Extension is an option for the DocuPrint 2000 Series 100/115/135/155/180 EPS that enables your printing system to operate in two different print modes: Enterprise Printing System (EPS), and Network Printer Series/IPDS Printing System (NPS/IPS). These print modes allow your printing system to handle more data streams, giving you added flexibility and increased productivity.

This chapter introduces the NPS/IPS Extension option hardware and software components, features, functions, and modes of operation.

System overview

The DocuPrint 2000 Series 100/115/135/155/180 EPS prints high quality, high-resolution monochrome documents in simplex (one-sided) or duplex (two-sided) mode at high production speeds from LCDS, PostScript, and PCL data streams. Jobs may be sent to the EPS printer from client workstations over a network or from a mainframe host computer over a channel.

The NPS/IPS Extension option expands the printing capabilities of the 2000 Series 100/115/135/155/180 EPS. With this option installed, the EPS has the additional ability to print jobs from an IPDS data stream, as well as utilize the extended network printing capabilities that are available in NPS/IPS mode.
