Xerox 4890, 4850, 92C manual Connectivity configurations, NPS/IPS concurrent printing

System overview

Xerox-suppliedThe printer interface cables provide high-speed data transport printer interface and communication between the printer controller and the

printer.

Xerox-suppliedThe printer accepts data from the printer controller and prints the DocuPrint printer document according to the print options specified by the user.

The printer also provides optional paper stitching and stacking.

Connectivity configurations

The NPS/IPS can process network PDL and IPDS jobs concurrently.

To support the submission of jobs from a variety of hosts, configuration possibilities include:

•The same Token Ring or Ethernet connection can be used for both IPDS and Postscript/PCL.

•Both a Token Ring card and an Ethernet card can reside in the Sun workstation controller, with one being used for IPDS and the other for PostScript/PCL.

•Bus and tag attachment through the channel interface can be used for IPDS jobs from a channel-attached host; Token Ring or Ethernet connection can be used for jobs submitted over the network.

NPS/IPS concurrent printing

The Xerox NPS/IPS can receive a variety of data streams including IPDS, PostScript Levels 1 and 2, PCL 5c, PCL 5e, TIFF, and ASCII. The system automatically senses the type of job and processes it appropriately.

When your system is printing IPDS jobs, it can accept network PDL data streams in the background. When network PDL jobs are printing, only one IPDS job can be queued.
