The following provides a brief description of the functionality of the system components.

Customer-supplied client PC or Users create their documents at the networked client PCs or workstation workstations using software applications that generate PostScript

Levels 1 and 2, VIPP (Variable Data Intelligent PostScript Print Ware), HP PCL 5c, HP PCL5e, or ASCII output. When ready to print, users submit the documents to the printer controller.

Customer-supplied network The customer will need to supply one or more of the following networks:

•Ethernet local area network (LAN) running TCP/IP, AppleTalk, or Novell NetWare network protocol

•Token Ring running TCP/IP, Novell, or AppleTalk network protocol software.

•Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) running TCP/IP, Novell 3.x, or Apple Talk network protocols. The FDDI supports a Single Connection configuration only.

Xerox-supplied printer controller The printer controller (color monitor, processor, CD-ROM drive, keyboard, mouse, and optional cartridge tape drive) accepts the print job from the client workstation, converts the files into page images, and sends the page images to the printer. The user interface at the printer controller allows you to perform tasks such as monitoring job status, prioritizing jobs, and configuring the system. The optional cartridge tape drive is used for tasks such as backing up files. The CD-ROM drive also allows you to install the printer controller software.
