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
DocuColor 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.
