2 Controller components and
options
This chapter describes the components and options available for
the Xerox DocuPrint 100/115/135/155/180 EPS controller.
The controller receives data from a mainframe host or a
workstation client, processes the data, and sends it to the printer.
The controller also provides the printer with print data and
commands, and receives status information from the printer.
The controller consists of a high performance Sun workstation
processor running Solaris software. Also resident on the controller
is the DocuSP software, which manages all printing, diagnostic,
and administrative functions on the printing system.
The DocuSP software includes a full color graphical user interface
(GUI). Using the GUI, you set up and configure the system, set up
and implement system options, and manage print jobs.
Remote Workflow, a remote graphical user interface, is available
for installation from a CD. The remote GUI allows you to manage
your DocuSP-based printers from a single PC or Sun workstation.
You may set your preferences from the remote client to disable or
enable some or all connections.
Remote Workflow allows you to configure the printers that you
want to manage, and provides real time status of the printers. You
may switch between the printers that you are managing, but you
can display only one printer GUI at a time.
The Remote Workflow GUI looks and functions the same as the
local DocuSP GUI on the controller.
The controller consists of a specially-configured Sun workstation
and uses proprietary Xerox hardware, firmware, and software.
Your controller has one of two possible configurations, described
in the following sections.
NOTE: Controller hardware configurations are subject to change,
to keep up with technology advances.
