Xerox 2060 manual Client software, Submitting print jobs

Network printing environment

•DECStation 5000/200 running DEC Ultrix, version 4.3

•Apple Macintosh, System 7, 7.5, or 8.x, using AppleTalk through EtherTalk, phase 1 or 2

•Any system that supports RFC-1179 lpr/lpd.

The software may be compatible with workstation models and software versions other than those listed above.

Client software

On your PC or workstation, you must install or set up a supported means of submitting jobs to the printer. Depending on your system, you can use the following:

•Xerox drivers for Windows 3.x, 95/98, or NT/2000

•Xerox Document Submission Software for DOS, Windows 3.x, 95/98, NT/2000, or Macintosh

•Third-party drivers

–Some PostScript drivers can be used in conjunction with Xerox-supplied PPD files

–HP LaserJet 4 for monochrome jobs

•Third-party TCP/IP lpd utility

•Apple/Macintosh Printer Access Protocol (PAP)

NOTE: The printing options vary according to the network software that is loaded on the client workstation.

Submitting print jobs

There are basically two ways you can submit print jobs: You can send print data directly from the application to the printer; or you can create a PDL data file on the workstation and then send the data file to the printer. The method you choose depends on the workstation configuration and the job submission requirements.

Sending the print data directly from the application to the printer is accomplished with a Xerox print driver or a third-party driver. This method is sometimes referred to as “transparent printing.” It may not support all available print options, such as number of copies, simplex or duplex printing, and stitching.
