System components overview
DocuPrint NPS/
IPS
The entire DocuPrint NPS/IPS system includes the printer (also
known as an IOT or print engine), printer controller, printer
interface, and all appropriate software. “DocuPrint printer” or
“printer” refers to the base printer engine (IOT) only, without the
printer controller and interface.
Xerox-supplied
printer controller
The printer controller includes a processor, CD-ROM drive,
diskette drive, keyboard, mouse, and a monitor. The printer
controller accepts the print job from the client workstation or
host, converts the files into page images, and sends the page
images to the printer. The user interface at the printer controller
allows you to perform tasks such as monitoring job status,
prioritizing jobs, and configuring the system.
Xerox-supplied
printer interface
The printer interface cable provides high-speed data transport
and communication between the printer controller and the
printer.
Xerox-supplied
DocuPrint printer
The printer accepts data from the printer controller and prints the
document according to the print options specified by the user.
The printer also provides optional paper stacking and collating.
