Xerox 180 IPS manual NPS/IPS Dual Mode

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

•

•

Multiple high-capacity output bins — Each output bin has offsetting capability and a capacity of 2500 sheets of 20-pound or 80 gsm bond.

Note: This capacity does not apply to 11 by 17-inch and A3 papers. Because of the additional weight these large sheets add to the bins, each bin can hold only up to 1500 sheets of A3 or 11 by 17-inch papers.

—96 IPS: One output bin is standard for the system, with one additional bin available as an option (providing up to two bins total).

—4635 and 180 IPS: Two output bins are standard, with up to two additional bins available as options (providing up to four bins total).

Bypass transport option — The bypass transport enables sheets to pass through the printer output module to a third- party finishing device. With such devices, you can add to your 96/4635/180 IPS such finishing capabilities as saddle-stitching, binding, trimming, etc. The bypass transport is installed at the right (as you face the printer) of the last feeder/stacker module on your system. The bypass transport cannot be installed on systems with more than three feeder/stacker modules. (For more information on the bypass transport, refer to the “Printer components and options” chapter of this guide.)

NPS/IPS Dual Mode

The Xerox DocuPrint Dual Mode option enables both DocuPrint IPS and NPS systems to coexist on the same printer controller (Sun workstation). This allows the DocuPrint system to receive data streams supported by NPS and IPS, including IPDS, PostScript Levels 1 and 2, HP PCL5c, HP PCL5e, and ASCII.

Either of the following two types of configurations may be used:

•The same Token Ring or Ethernet connection can be used for both IPDS (IPS) and Postscript/PCL (NPS).

•Both a Token Ring card and an Ethernet card can reside in the Sun workstation controller, with one being used for IPDS and the other for PostScript/PCL.

The customer may switch from one mode to the other. When your system is operating in IPS mode, it can accept PostScript and PCL data streams in the background; however, you can print these jobs only when the system is in NPS mode. When in NPS mode, the system cannot accept IPDS data streams in the background; you can print them only when the system is in IPS mode.

Refer to the Xerox DocuPrint IPS/NPS Dual Mode Switching Instructions and other Xerox DocuPrint IPS documentation for more information.
