* An additional software utility that prepares data for submission to the network in TCP/IP network protocol is
required. This software utility is referred to as a network communications utility. While this software must be
installed and running for jobs to be submitted successfully to DocuPrint, once installed, its operation is
transparent to the user.
**The printer controller's Sun operating system is based on the standard Sun operating system; however, it has
been customized for use with the Xerox printer controller. Therefore, not all standard Sun operating system
features are available.

After the print data has been prepared for printing and combined with

communications protocols.
The following table lists the workstations supported by DocuPrint,
