PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Ethernet LAN
Users of networked client workstations may send print jobs to the
DocuPrint NPS printer over the Ethernet LAN using TCP/IP,
AppleTalk using EtherTalk Link Access Protocol (ELAP), or Novell
NetWare 3.1x as the network protocol.
Regardless of printing or transmission protocol, the Ethernet connection to the printer controller must be compatible with the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.3 standard.
Token Ring
Users of network client workstations may send print jobs to the
DocuPrint NPS printer over Token Ring network using TCP/IP,
Novell 3.x, or AppleTalk network protocol.
Regardless of printing transmission protocol, the Token Ring connection to the printer controller must be compatible with the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.5 standard.
Fiber Distributed Data Interface
TCP/IP, Novell 3.x, and Apple Talk network protocols are supported over FDDI. The FDDI supports a Single Connection configuration only.
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.
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.
