PRODUCT OVERVIEW
NPS/IPS Dual Mode
1-4
The IPS must be configured to the same font resolution as the
host input data stream (refer to your 4050/4090 IPS Guide to
Configuring and Managing the System for instructions on
configuring for the correct input resolution). Conflicts between
the input font resolution and the IPS configuration could result
in inability to print the job, or in variable data missing from the
output.
Note: You will normally achieve better print quality by
converting all 240 dpi fonts and other resources to 300 dpi
before printing, rather than leaving the conversion for the
controller to do. However, you should always run test prints to
validate your particular applications.

Sixth Sense Remote Service — The Xerox Sixth Sense
Remote Service feature allows Xerox support personnel to
access IPS/NPS controller via modem from a remote location.
More information about Remote Service can be found in the
Xerox DocuPrint 4050/4090 IPS Troubleshooting Guide.
•
Choice of dual or stitcher stacker — Your 4050/4090 IPS is
available with one of two stacker types: a dual stacker, with two
output trays, or a stitcher/stacker which can place a wire stitch
in sets of up to 50 sheets.
Output tray capacities, based on 20-pound or 80 gsm bond,
are:
— Dual stacker trays 1 and 2: 750 sheets each
— Stitcher/stacker: 2000 sheets.
The Xerox DocuPrint Dual Mode option enables both DocuPrint IPS
and NPS systems to coexist on the same printer controller (Sun
workstation). This allows the DocuPrint system to receive data
streams supported by NPS and IPS, including IPDS, PostScript
Levels 1 and 2, HP PCL5c, HP PCL5e, and ASCII.
Either of the following two types of configurations may be used:
•
The same Token Ring or Ethernet connection can be used for
both IPDS (IPS) and Postscript/PCL (NPS).
•
Both a Token Ring card and an Ethernet card can reside in the
Sun workstation controller, with one being used for IPDS and
the other for PostScript/PCL.
The customer may switch from one mode to the other. When your
system is operating in IPS mode, it can accept PostScript and PCL
data streams in the background; however, you can print these jobs
only when the system is in NPS mode. When in NPS mode, the
system cannot accept IPDS data streams in the background; you can
print them only when the system is in IPS mode.
Refer to the Xerox DocuPrint IPS/NPS Dual Mode Switching
Instructions and other Xerox DocuPrint IPS documentation for more
information.
