5. DocuPrint printer.
Users create their documents at the networked client PCs or
workstations using software applications that generate PDL
output. When ready to print, users submit the documents to the
printer controller.
The customer needs 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.
Both network client workstations and the IBM host can
communicate with the controller over a network.

Ethernet LAN

Users of networked client workstations may send print jobs to the
DocuPrint NPS/IPS printer over the Ethernet LAN using TCP/IP,
AppleTalk using EtherTalk Link Access Protocol (ELAP), or
Novell NetWare 3.1x as the network protocol.
Regardless of printing or transmission protocol, the Ethernet
connection to the printer controller must be
compatible with the Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers (IEEE) 802.3 standard.

Token Ring

Users of network client workstations may send print jobs to the
printer over Token Ring network using TCP/IP, Novell 3.x, or
AppleTalk network protocol.
Regardless of printing transmission protocol, the Token Ring
connection to the printer controller must be compatible with the
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.5
standard.
