The controller receives LCDS, PostScript, and PCL data streams
from a mainframe host or a workstation client, processes the
data, and sends it to the printer. The controller also provides the
printer with print data and commands and receives status
information from the printer.
The controller consists of a Sun Workstation computer, which is
run by the Sun Solaris Operating environment. Also resident on
the controller is the Document Services Platform application
software, known as DocuSP software, which manages all
printing, diagnostic, and administrative functions on the printing
system.
The DocuSP software includes a full-color graphical user
interface, which enables you to interact with the printing system
to set up and configure the system, to set up and implement
system options, to run print jobs, etc.
Online Help (menus and buttons) provides access to online help
that contains information when requested.
Remote Workflow, a remote graphical user interface (GUI), is
available for installation from a CD. Remote Workflow allows you
to manage your DocuSP-based printers from a single PC or Sun
workstation. You may set your preferences from the remote client
to disable or enable some or all connections.
Remote Workflow allows you to configure the printers that you
want to manage, and provides real time status of the printers.
You may switch between the printers that you are managing, but
you can display only one printer GUI at a time.
The remote client GUI looks and functions the same as the local
DocuSP GUI on the controller.
The controller consists of a specially-configured Sun workstation
and uses proprietary Xerox hardware, firmware, and software.
Your controller has one of two possible configurations, described
in the following sections.
NOTE: Controller hardware configurations are subject to
change, to keep up with technology advances.
