System components
The IPS systems consist of the following major components:
•
•
Printer controller — The printer controller (also called the system controller) accepts IPDS data (plus PostScript and PCL data with the Dual Mode option) from the host, processes the data, and sends the data to the printer engine using the IPS operating system. The controller provides the printer with print data and commands, and receives status information from the printer.
Printer — The printer, also called the Image Output Terminal (IOT), accepts formatted pages of data from the printer controller and performs the imaging and printing of documents. The printer also provides paper stacking, collating, and optional finishing capabilities you enable using the IPS application software accessed through the graphical user interface.
