The following provides a brief description of the functionality of the
system components.
Users create their documents at the networked client PCs or
workstation workstations using software applications that generate PostScript
Levels 1 and 2, VIPP (Variable Data Intelligent PostScript Print
Ware), HP PCL 5c, 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 software.
•
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 (color monitor, processor, CD-ROM drive,
keyboard, mouse, and optional cartridge tape drive) 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 is used for tasks such as backing up files. The
CD-ROM drive also allows you to install the printer controller
software.
