* An additional software utility that prepares data for submission to the network in TCP/IP network protocol is required. This software utility is referred to as a network communications utility. 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.
**The printer controller’s Sun operating system is based on the standard Sun operating system; however, it has been customized for use with the Xerox printer controller. Therefore, not all standard Sun operating system features are available.
