DocuColor printer
The entire DocuColor NPS/IPS system includes the printer (also
known as an IOT or print engine), printer controller, printer
interface, and all appropriate software. “DocuColor printer” or
“printer” refers to the base printer e ng ine (IOT) only, without the
printer controller and interface.
The printer co ntroller includes two processors, DVD-ROM drive,
diskette drive, keyboard, mouse, and a liquid crystal display
(LCD) flat panel monitor. The printer controller accepts the print
job from the client workstat ion or host, converts the files i nto
page images, and sends the page images to the printer. The
user interface at the printer controller allo ws you to perf orm tasks
such as monitoring job status, pr ioritizing jobs, and configuring
the system.
The printer interface cables provide high-speed data transport
and communication between the printer controller and the
printer.
The printer accepts data from the printer co ntroller and prints the
document according to the print options specified by the user.
The printer also provides paper stacking and optional sampling.
NPS and IPS printing configurations
The NPS/IPS ca n process network PDL and IPDS jobs
concurrently.
To support the submission of jo bs from a variety of hosts,
configuration possibilities include:
•The same T ok en Ring or Ethernet connection can be used for
both IPDS (IPS) and PostScript (NPS).
•Both a Token Ring card and an Ethernet card can reside in
the Sun workstation controller, with one being used for IPDS
and the other for PostScript.
•Bus and tag attachment through the channel interface board
can be used for IPDS jobs from a channel-attached host;
Token Ring or Ethernet connectio n can be use d for jobs
submitted over the network.

NPS/IPS concurrent printing
SNMP support
System overview
The Xerox NPS/IPS can receive a variety of data streams
including IPDS, PostScript Levels 1 and 2, PCL 5 e, TIFF, and
ASCII. The system automatically senses the type of job and
processes it appropriately.
When your system is printing IPDS jobs, it can accept network
PDL data streams in the background. When network PDL jobs
are printing, only one IPDS job can be queued.
The system provides functionality to export the state of a printer
using the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), thus
allowing printer management software to monitor and report on
the printer state.
SNMP is a standardized communications protocol for managing
arbitrary networked devices from different vendors, such as
workstations, servers, printers, or routers. The information to be
communicated is presented as variable name/value pairs,
defined in a set of standardized management information bases
(MIBs). The MIBs define the legal variables, their types, and
possibly a fixed set of values.
SNMP was designed to facilitate managing a heterogeneous set
of networked devices that communicate using TCP/IP.
Specifically, it addressed management of the network itself and
the network traffic betw een th ose devices. Over time, MIBs were
defined to expand the types of devices that could be managed
using SNMP. For example, MIBs were defined specific to
managing a wor kstation or a printer.
The system currently supports variables defined in the following
MIBs:
•MIB-II (RFC 1156)
This MIB defines the basic set of variables any device
running TCP/IP should make accessible . It includes, for a
particular device, variables for information such as a system
description, information about each of the network interfaces
present on the device, and information abou t all the IP
datagrams sent and received by the device.
Installation Planning Guide1-3
System overview
•Host Resources MIB (RFC 1514)
This MIB defines variables useful in managing a “host”
system. In this context, a host is a computer that is directly
used by human beings and that communicates with other
similar computers attached through a network. The Host
Resources MIB includes information such as how long the
system has been up, descriptions of the processors and
attached storage devices, and possibly information about
software running on the host.
•Printer MIB (RFC 1759)
This MIB defines information useful in managing a printer. It
includes information about the physical status of the printer,
such as the number of input trays, the media loaded in them,
and the numbe r and types of marking en gines inclu ded in the
printer.
Most variables in these MIBs are supported in a standard way,
as described in the standard documentation, except that writing
to read/write variables is not supported. All variables are treated
as read-only. In all cases, the NPS/IPS SNMP implementation
supplies textual information only in English.
IPP support
The system supports the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP), which
allows you to:
•Add the printer to your PC directly as an Internet printer with
a URL, rather than indirectly as an lpr-connected local printer.
•Use an IPP client to access the printer. A limited subset of
IPP operations is supported; query the IPP client for details.

IPDS environment
Host environments
System overview
The system emulates an IB M A FP G roup 3 p age printer with t he
Advanced Function Image and Graphics (AFIG) option and can
print in all the following PSF environments:
•MVS
•VM (channel-attached only)
•VSE (channel-attached only)
•OS/2
•OS/400 (with TCP/IP only)
•AIX
NOTE: Although PSF/VSE does not support TCP/IP directly, a
printing system with PSF/2, PSF/6000, or InfoPrint Manager can
attach to a PSF/VSE system and the PSF/2, PSF/6000, or
InfoPrint Mana ge r can furnish the TCP /IP support for the printer.
NOTE: There is no minimum host operating system software
level required. The minimum PSF level needed to support full
color is v.3.2.
The NPS/IPS can be set up to receive data from the IBM host in
one of two ways:
•Through a bus and tag channel connection.
NOTE: If yo ur system will be channel-attached, the printer
controller requires an additional component—a channel
interface board and channel cable connector box that serve
as an interface between the IBM host and the printer
controller.
•Through a Token Ring or Ethernet interface using TCP/IP.
NOTE: Your system supports only one other connectivity
option in addition to Ethernet. For example, Ethernet and
channel connection or Ethernet and Token Ring.
NOTE: A transmission ra te of at least 16 megabits per
second should be used with a Token Ring interface. (Overall
performance depends on network traffic and job density.)

Networks
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 netwo rk (LAN) running TCP/IP, AppleTalk,
or Nove ll 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 networke d client workstatio ns may send print jobs to the
DocuColor NPS/IPS prin ter o v er the Et hernet LAN using TC P/IP,
AppleTalk using EtherTalk Link Access Protocol (ELAP), or
Novell NetWare 3.1x as the network protocol.
Installation Planning Guide1-9
System overview
Regardless of printing or transmission protocol, the Ethernet
connection to the printer controller must be
compatible with the Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers (IEEE) 802.3 standard.
Token Ring
Users of network client workstations may send pr int jobs to the
printer over Token Ring networ k using TCP/IP, Novell 3.x, or
AppleTalk network protocol.
Regardless of printing transmission protocol, the Token Ring
connection to the printer controller must be compatible with the
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.5
standard.
Multiple network devices
Multiple network devices ma y be insta lled on the same controller .
The default network device that ships with your controller is a
100 Mbit Ethernet connection. You may install other network
devices by installing additional network cards, provided each
card has a unique network to which it connects. For example, if
you use a Tok en Ring netwo rk connection, y ou hav e the option of
using the default Ethernet device as a secondary network.
If you choose to install multiple network devices on your
controller, the following parameters apply:
•You must sel ect a prim a ry network device and designate any
others as secondary. The primary network device does not
have to be the default Ethernet device that ships with your
controller; it can be any of the network devices installed.
•You must run the TCP/IP protocol on the primary network
device. You may also r un TCP/IP on other network devices.
For each network device running TCP/IP, you must specify a
unique IP address and IP netmask. For the primary network
device, you must specify the HostName and router IP
address. The HostName for any secondary devices is
created from the name chosen for the primary device.
NOTE: You may not use the controller as an IP router.
Consequently, the router IP address must be on the primary
network devices network only.
