Customer-

Users create their documents at the networked client PCs or

supplied client PC

workstations using software applications that generate PDL

or workstation

output. When ready to print, users submit the documents to the

 

printer controller.

Customer-

The customer needs to supply one or more of the following

supplied network

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.

Networks

Both network client workstations and the IBM host can communicate with the controller over a network.

Ethernet LAN

Users of networked client workstations may send print jobs to the

DocuColor NPS/IPS printer over the Ethernet LAN using TCP/IP,

AppleTalk using EtherTalk Link Access Protocol (ELAP), or

Novell NetWare 3.1x as the network protocol.
