PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Xerox-supplied printer interface The printer interface cable provides high-speed data transport and communication between the printer controller and the printer.

Xerox-supplied DocuPrint printer The printer (also known as an IOT or print engine) accepts data from the printer controller and prints the document according to the print options specified by the user. The printer also provides paper stacking, collating, and optional finishing.

DocuPrint Network Printing System The entire DocuPrint Network Printing System includes the printer, (NPS) printer controller, printer interface, and all appropriate software.

“DocuPrint printer” or “printer” refers to the base printer engine (IOT) only, without the printer controller and interface.

Note: It is your responsibility to supply, install, and maintain hardware and software on any PC, DECStation, Sun Workstation, HP/Apollo Workstation, IBM RS/6000 Workstation, or Macintosh system used to generate documents for printing on the DocuPrint printers. You are also responsible for obtaining, installing, and maintaining the required Ethernet LAN or Token Ring network, transceivers, and connecting cables.

The DocuPrint 96/4635/180 NPS and 96/4635/180 MICR NPS consist of a printer controller and a printer. They accept print input created by client software in PostScript Levels 1 and 2, VIPP (Variable Data Intelligent PostScript Print Ware), HP PCL 5c, HP PCL5e, or ASCII. This print input is passed to the printer controller through an Ethernet, Token Ring, or FDDI connection. The printer controller accepts the print job from the client workstation, converts the files into page images, and sends the page images to the printer.

The DocuPrint 4635 NPS and 4635 MICR NPS print data at a rate of up to 135 pages per minute, or up to 154 pages per minute with the smaller, 7 by 10 inch (178 by 254 mm) paper used with the optional 7 by 10 inch enablement feature.

The DocuPrint 96 NPS and 96 MICR NPS print data at a rate of up to 96 pages per minute in all four orientations (portrait, inverse portrait, landscape, and inverse landscape). 7 by 10 inch (178 by 254 mm) paper may be used with the optional 7 by 10 inch enablement feature.

The DocuPrint 180 NPS and 180 MICR NPS print data at a rate of up to 180 pages per minute, or up to 206 pages per minute with the smaller, 7 by 10 inch (178 by 254 mm) paper used with the optional 7 by 10 inch enablement feature.
