XEROX DOCUPRINT 92C NPS SYSTEM OVERVIEW GUIDE 1-3
Workstation, HP/Apollo Workstation, IBM RS/6000 Workstation, or
Macintosh system used to generate documents for printing on the
DocuPrint printers. You are also responsible for obtaining, installing,
and maintaining the required Ethernet LAN, FDDI fiber-optic LAN or
Token Ring network, transceivers, and connecting cables.
Xerox is responsible for the physical installation and service of the
printer and Printer Controller hardware and software components.
You are generally responsible for ensuring that the right personnel,
supplies, and network hardware and software are available.
DocuPrint NPS can be configured with a modem to support Sixth
Sense remote dial-in capability. Sixth Sense allows service
technicians to access your system from a remote location. There are
security issues you may need to consider before installing the
modem.
DocuPrint Dual Mode
Xerox DocuPrint Dual Mode option enables both DocuPrint NPS and
IPS systems to coexist on the same Printer Controller (Sun
SPARCstation). This configuration allows the DocuPrint system to
receive data streams supported by NPS and IPS, including IPDS,
PostScript levels 1 and 2, HP PCL 5c or 5e, and ASCII.
When the system is in IPS mode, it can accept PostScript and PCL
data streams in the background; however, you can print these jobs
only when the system is in NPS mode. When it is in NPS mode, it
cannot accept IPDS data streams in the background.
Client workstations and system software
To send print jobs to the DocuPrint printer, the customer needs to
provide the proper client hardware, operating system, and network
software.
