PRODUCT OVERVIEW1-6 XEROX DOCUPRINT NETWORK PRINTER SERIES INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE FOR MODELS 96/4635/180 NPSEthernet LANUsers of networked client workstations may send print jobs to theDocuPrint NPS printer over the Ethernet LAN using TCP/IP,AppleTalk using EtherTalk Link Access Protocol (ELAP), or NovellNetWare 3.1x as the network protocol.Regardless of printing or transmission protocol, the Ethernetconnection to the printer controller must be compatible with theInstitute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.3standard.Token RingUsers of network client workstations may send print jobs to theDocuPrint NPS printer over Token Ring network using TCP/IP,Novell 3.x, or AppleTalk 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.Fiber Distributed Data InterfaceTCP/IP, Novell 3.x, and Apple Talk network protocols are supportedover FDDI. The FDDI supports a Single Connection configurationonly.NPS/IPS Dual ModeThe Xerox DocuPrint Dual Mode option enables both DocuPrint IPSand NPS systems to coexist on the same printer controller (Sunworkstation). This allows the DocuPrint system to receive datastreams supported by NPS and IPS, including IPDS, PostScriptLevels 1 and 2, HP PCL5c, HP PCL5e, and ASCII.The customer may switch from one mode to the other. When yoursystem is operating in IPS mode, it can accept PostScript and PCLdata streams in the background; however, you can print these jobsonly when the system is in NPS mode. When in NPS mode, thesystem cannot accept IPDS data streams in the background; you canprint them only when the system is in IPS mode.Refer to the Xerox DocuPrint IPS/NPS Dual Mode SwitchingInstructions and other Xerox DocuPrint IPS documentation for moreinformation.
