Installation Planning Guide
The DocuPrint 100/115/135/155/180 EPS includes the controller,
printer and all appropriate software. "DocuPrint printer" or "printer"
refers to the base printer engine (IOT) only.
NOTE: Some printer configurations may include a control console
(not shown).
A host mainframe computer or network-connected PC, Apple
Macintosh, or Sun UNIX client workstation submits print jobs to
the printing system. The print job may be in any of the following
data formats:
• PostScript levels 2 and 3
• HP PCL5c, PCL5e, and PCL6: Hewlett-Packard Print Control
Language
• LCDS: Line Conditioned Data Stream
• IPDS: Intelligent Printer Data Stream
• ASCII: American Standard Code for Information Interchange
• PDF: Portable Document Format
• TIFF: Tagged Image File Format
• VIPP: Variable Data Intelligent PostScript Print Ware
NOTE: Enablement of IPDS data format may require additional
equipment. Contact your local Xerox representative for more
information.
The customer needs to supply one or more of the following
communication connections:
• Ethernet local area network (LAN) running TCP/IP, AppleTalk,
or Novell NetWare network protocol software.
• Online (channel-attached): Bus and tag cables supporting the
IBM 3211/4245 interface.
• Token ring LAN running TCP/IP, Novell 3.x, or AppleTalk
network protocol software.
NOTE: Enablement of channel-attached and Token Ring
communication connection requires additional equipment. Contact
your local Xerox representative for more information.
The controller (monitor, processor, DVD drive, keyboard, mouse,
diskette drive, and cartridge tape drive) accepts the print job from
the host mainframe computer or network-connected client
workstation, converts the files into page images, and sends the
page images to the print engine. External 9-track and 18/36-track
tape drives can be used for resource loading and for offline
printing.
The printer (also known as the image output terminal [IOT] or print
engine) accepts page image data from the controller and prints
the document according to the print options specified by the user.
The printer also handles paper stacking, collating, and optional
finishing.
