* 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 the printer, once installed, its operation is transparent to the user.
** NPS/IPS running on a Sun Microsystems client is based on the standard Sun operating system (OS); however, the Sun OS has been customized for use with the Xerox printer controller. Therefore, not all standards Sun OS features are available.
Receiving job status feedback
Client workstations display fault messages and other information, such as the status of feeder trays and output bins. If properly configured, the workstations may be able to display job status, as described in the following list.
•To determine the status of jobs submitted using the lpr command, you must issue an lpq command at the command line. With some UNIX systems jobs can be submitted using the lp command and status can be determined using the lpstat command. Some application software packages may provide a simplified means of obtaining job status, perhaps using icons. Job status is also available by establishing a telnet connection to the printer controller to access the user interface from your workstation. Printer and additional status information is also available.
