4.Submitting print jobs using Macintosh drivers
You can send documents to your DocuPrint NPS/IPS printer from your Macintosh in two ways:
•From your Macintosh drivers
DocuPrint allows you to transparently send ASCII files and page description layout (PDL) files written in PostScript level 2 from your Macintosh to the printer. This capability is provided by AppleTalk, which enables you to print directly to network printers.
•From Xerox Document Submission (XDS) client software
XDS client software is intended for users of Apple Macintosh computers running System 8.6 or greater. Your Macintosh must be connected to the Ethernet network communication utility using AppleTalk through EtherTalk Phase 2.
This chapter explains how to print from your Macintosh drivers.
For information on printing through the XDS software, refer to the
Guide to Job Submission for Macintosh. This guide is part of the
Xerox Production Print Services series.
For information on installation, refer to the “Setting up workstations” chapter in this document.
To print a document from a Macintosh, you must first create or set up a LaserWriter printer or an AdobePS printer, then you can submit the job. You can also monitor or control printing from your Macintosh. The following sections outline these procedures.

You may select the following drivers:
•LaserWriter driver, version 7.x
