You can switch between print modes by performing a few simple
steps. This procedure is described in chapter 3, "Changing print
modes."
The DocuPrint 100/115/135/155/180 EPS operates from the
standard internal fixed disk drive, and the EPS software release
level must be 2.10.00 or higher. The DocuPrint NPS/IPS operates
from an external fixed disk drive, and the NPS/IPS software level
must be 7.4.1 or higher.
Overview
The DocuPrint NPS/IPS enables personal computer (PC), Sun
workstation, DEC workstation, HP/Apollo, IBM RS/6000, and
Apple Macintosh users to print PostScript level 2, HP PCL5e, or
ASCII documents. These documents are then submitted to the
printing system over a network connection.
The system also enables IBM hosts running appropriate levels of
PSF to print IPDS data. The NPS/IPS emulates an IBM AFP
Group 3 Page Printer with the Advanced Function Image and
Graphics (AFIG) option.
The DocuPrint NPS/IPS can receive data at 240 or 300 dpi and
full-page IOCA images at 600 dpi. The system can also use 600
dpi fonts. All 240 or 300 dpi resources are interpolated to 600 dpi
by the printing system for higher print quality.

the DocuPrint NPS/IPS System Overview Guide.
