DDI interface The Dynamic Document Interface (DDI) enables communication between a 4635 LPS and other products via a shared disk mechanism. The interface allows the other products (such as DEC, PC, MAC, and UNIX local area network (LAN) workstations) to save print files to an external hard disk. The 4635 LPS then directly accesses the external hard disk to retrieve files for printing. The DDI passes data over a high performance SCSI bus.

Ethernet interface Ethernet is the Xerox local area network (LAN) that allows data to be transmitted by cable from one device to another. As an Ethernet member, your LPS can receive and print from other network ªcitizensº such as Ethernet workstations and graphic scanners.

Ethernet workstations

With the Ethernet option, an LPS can receive and print input data from workstations, such as the Xerox 8010, 6085, and the XPS 700 series. Workstations can transfer Interpress files using Ethernet to the LPS and invoke LPS-stored forms and graphics for printing.

Interpress is a page description language capable of describing any two-dimensional image intended for a raster device, such as a Xerox LPS. Its function is to describe previously created data on a page; it is not a page composition language. This functionality includes vector graphics (sometimes referred to as line art), contour fonts, and pixel arrays. Interpress also includes job management features such as paper tray selection, output offsetting, stock selection, copy count, and page selection on a copy basis.

An Interpress master can be created at a host or at a workstation for transporting (offline or Ethernet modes) to the LPS.

Refer to the Xerox 4635 LPS Operations Reference and to the workstation©s documentation for more information.

Ethernet graphic scanners

With the Ethernet option, an LPS can receive and print scanned graphic data (both line art and continuous tone images) from the 7650 Pro Imager (using the Xerox Publishing Illustrator©s Workstation).

Refer to the Xerox 4635 LPS Operations Reference and the Xerox 7650 Pro Imager Reference Manual for more information.
