This section describes a few of the many host-resident software
packages available for use with your Xerox DocuPrint 180 LPS. For
information on a specific program, please contact your site
representative.
XPPI/XDGI is a host-resident software package (on IBM MVS or VM/
CMS) that translates computer-generated text and graphics into
high-quality images that can be printed on a Xerox DocuPrint 180
LPS. A host-independent version of XPPI/XDGI is also available for
non-IBM users. Refer to XPPI/XDGI documentation for more
information.
HFDL is a host-resident forms design software package (on IBM
(HFDL) MVS or VM) that allows forms to be created, changed, and merged
with data at the host for printing.
XPAF enhances the capabilities and use of your DocuPrint 180 LPS
in an IBM MVS/XA environment. For example, it allows you to
change printer destinations without restructuring the data stream.
XPAF accepts numerous types of data streams, transforms or
conditions them, and then sends them to the selected printer. To
users of IBM Advanced Function Printing (AFP), XPAF appears to be
an extension of the IBM product.
Note: Consult with your sales representative about the appropriate
options for your laser printing system.
