XDS

Xerox Document Submission software application (XDS) is a standalone application that is used to enter job ticket information for an existing PDL file and submit the job to an available printer running DocuSP version 3.1 or higher software. This software enables users of Xerox supported networks to take advantage of the many printing options that are offered by the supported Xerox printing systems.

NOTE: Documents need to have been printed to file as .ps, .pcl,

.pdf, tiff, or ascii text.

XDS Plus

The Xerox Document Submission Plus (XDS Plus) software is a standalone application that is used to enter job ticket information for an existing PDL file and submit the job to an available printer running DocuSP version 3.1 or higher software. This software enables users of Xerox supported networks to take advantage of the many printing options that are offered by the supported Xerox printing systems. XDS Plus supports the same feature set as XDS with the addition of printer status, Xerox Job Ticket Converter, and Xerox Document Submission Command Line.

Xerox custom drivers

The Xerox Custom printer drivers are drivers that include Xerox value added user interface controls to access the features specific to the supported Xerox printers.

Third party drivers and PPDs

You can use a third party printer driver with a Xerox PPD file to create a document and submit it for printing to the Xerox printer. Third party drivers and PPDs can be loaded and used in addition to any Xerox custom drivers. Depending on the driver installed, different job ticket options will be available.

Third party drivers do not allow access at the workstation to all of the supported printer features.
