DocuPrint printer.Customer-supplied client PCor workstationUsers create their documents at the networked client PCs orworkstations using software applications that generate PDLoutput. When ready to print, users submit the documents to theprinter controller.Customer-supplied networkThe customer needs to supply one or more of the followingnetworks:• Ethernet local area network (LAN) running TCP/IP, AppleTalk,or Novell NetWare network protocol.• Token Ring running TCP/IP, Novell, or AppleTalk networkprotocol.NetworksBoth network client workstations and the IBM host cancommunicate with the controller over a network.Ethernet LANUsers of networked client workstations may send print jobs to theDocuPrint NPS/IPS printer over the Ethernet LAN using TCP/IP,AppleTalk using EtherTalk Link Access Protocol (ELAP), orNovell NetWare 3.1x as the network protocol.Regardless of printing or transmission protocol, the Ethernetconnection to the printer controller must becompatible with the Institute of Electrical and ElectronicsEngineers (IEEE) 802.3 standard.Token RingUsers of network client workstations may send print jobs to theprinter over Token Ring network using TCP/IP, Novell 3.x, orAppleTalk network protocol.Regardless of printing transmission protocol, the Token Ringconnection to the printer controller must be compatible with theInstitute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.5standard.
