Note: You may not use the NPS controller as an IP router.
Consequently, the router IP address must be on the primary
network devices network only.
•
You may run the AppleTalk protocol on only one network device.
The network device on which AppleTalk is run does not have to
be the primary network device.
•
You may run Novell protocols on only the primary network

Briefly, the functions of the components are as follows:
Users create their documents at the networked client PCs or
workstation workstations using software applications that generate PostScript
(XGF), HP PCL5e, or ASCII output. When ready to print, users
submit the documents to the printer controller.
The customer will need to supply one or more of the following
networks:
•
Ethernet local area network (LAN) running TCP/IP, AppleTalk,
or Novell NetWare network protocol.
•
Token Ring running TCP/IP, Novell, or AppleTalk network
protocol.
•
Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) running TCP/IP, Novell
3.x, or Apple Talk network protocols. The FDDI supports a
Single Connection configuration only.
The printer controller consists of a color or monochrome monitor,
processor, CD-ROM drive, keyboard, mouse, and optional 1/4-inch
or 4mm tape drive. The printer controller accepts the print job from
the client workstation, converts the files into page images, and sends
the page images to the printer. The user interface at the printer
controller allows you to perform tasks such as monitoring job status,
prioritizing jobs, and configuring the system. The optional cartridge
tape drive can be used for tasks such as backing up files. The CD-
ROM drive also allows you to install the printer controller software.
The printer interface cable provides high-speed data transport and
communication between the printer controller and the printer.
