CLIENT WORKSTATIONS

Xerox DocuPrint Print Submission software for Windows 3.x, Windows 95/98 and Windows NT provide graphical user interfaces for submitting jobs and specifying print options.

In many cases, the workstation can be set up for more than one method of job submission.

Communicating with the network

After the print data has been prepared for printing and combined with print options data—either by the application software or by a print job submission utility—the print job is sent over the network.

DocuPrint NPS supports TCP/IP, AppleTalk, and Novell NetWare network communications protocols.

Client workstations require a network software utility that submits the job using the appropriate network protocol. While this software must be installed and running for jobs to be submitted successfully to DocuPrint, once installed, its operation is transparent to the user.

Shown below are the workstations supported by DocuPrint NPS, and the networking options and job submission methods available for each client.
