Product overview

Differences in supported software features

Because of differences between NPS/IPS and EPS in regard to the PostScript, PCL, ASCII, and VIPP interpreters, some features are supported in NPS/IPS mode that are not supported in EPS mode, and vice versa. Listed below are some features that are supported differently by the two different operating systems.

EPS only:

•Queue overrides

•Multiple queues

•DocuSP job ticket

•178 default PostScript fonts

•Level 3 PostScript interpreter

NPS/IPS only:

•Background and cycle forms

•xgfnub (ability to add a VIPP Start command in front of a file)

•Resource-based scheduling, based on Document Structuring Convention (DSC)

•FIFO (first in, first out) print order

•NPS/IPS job ticket

•Document forwarding

•Two-sided (duplex) tab stock printing

•Virtual printer/document attributes

NOTE: You can access some equivalent options on the EPS by using the Job Manager and Queue Manager windows.

•51 default PostScript Type 1 fonts

•Level 2 PostScript interpreter

NOTE: Ensuring that the queue names on the EPS are unique and different from the Virtual Printer names on the NPS/IPS, will help prevent jobs from being sent to the wrong print mode. Be sure to consider this when setting up your clients.
