System overview

1. 1Product overview

This chapter provides an overview of the features and functions of the Xerox DocuPrint Model 92C NPS.

The DocuPrint system enables personal computer (PC), Sun Workstation, DEC workstation, HP/Apollo, IBM RS/6000, and Apple Macintosh users to print PostScript level 2, HP PCL5e, or ASCII documents on a high-speed Xerox DocuPrint Model 92C NPS printer.

One or more of the following network communication systems may be used to transport documents from the client workstation to the printer:

• Ethernet local area network (LAN) running Transmission

Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), AppleTalk, or Novell NetWare network protocol software.

• Token Ring running TCP/IP, Novell, or AppleTalk network

protocol software.

• Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) running TCP/IP, Novell

3.x, or Apple Talk network protocols. The FDDI supports a Single Connection configuration only.

Multiple network devices may be installed on the same NPS controller. The default network device that ships with your NPS 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 Token Ring network connection, you have the option of using the default Ethernet device as a secondary network.

If you choose to install multiple network devices on your NPS controller, the following parameters apply:

• You must select a primary 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 run 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.

XEROX DOCUPRINT NETWORK PRINTER SERIES INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE FOR MODEL 92C NPS 1-1

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Note: You may not use the NPS controller as an IP router. Consequently, the router IP address must be on the primary network devices network only.

• You may run the AppleTalk protocol on only one network device.

The network device on which AppleTalk is run does not have to be the primary network device.

• You may run Novell protocols on only the primary network

device.

NPS/IPS Dual Mode

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Users of network client workstations may send print jobs to the DocuPrint NPS printer over Token Ring network 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.

TCP/IP, Novell 3.x, and Apple Talk network protocols are supported over FDDI. The FDDI supports a Single Connection configuration only.

The Xerox DocuPrint Dual Mode option enables both DocuPrint IPS and NPS systems to coexist on the same printer controller (Sun workstation). This allows the DocuPrint system to receive data streams supported by NPS and IPS, including IPDS, PostScript Levels 1 and 2, HP PCL5c, HP PCL5e, and ASCII.

Sixth Sense

The customer may switch from one mode to the other. When your system is operating in IPS mode, it can accept PostScript and PCL data streams in the background; however, you can print these jobs only when the system is in NPS mode. When in NPS mode, the system cannot accept IPDS data streams in the background; you can print them only when the system is in IPS mode.

Refer to the Xerox DocuPrint IPS/NPS Dual Mode Switching Instructions and other Xerox DocuPrint IPS documentation for more information.

Sixth Sense is a unique suite of diagnostic tools that allows Xerox customer service engineers, analysts, and consultants to serve customers more effectively.

Sixth Sense is intended to automate and expedite the range of service-related support functions. Sixth Sense is a tool that enables Xerox to provide benchmark service support. Xerox customers benefit from the ability to bring broader support to focus more quickly.

For example, Sixth Sense can allow the Service Representative to repeatedly "preview" the condition of the system prior to an actual site visit. This may provide the ability to determine the correct part or piece of information to have on hand when the site visit is made.

Sixth Sense is a no charge feature available to customers through Xerox Service. The customer need only provide an analog phone line for use by the Sixth Sense modem connection. For those customers unable to dedicate a phone line to the Sixth Sense connection, three and five port phone share devices are available for purchase.

XEROX DOCUPRINT NETWORK PRINTER SERIES INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE FOR MODEL 92C NPS 1-5

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

To take advantage of Sixth Sense, the customer needs to:

• Request Sixth Sense enablement through Xerox Service

options

The printer processes the electronic data and images received from the controller and produces the printed report. This chapter describes the components and options available for the printer.

The standard printer components are the printer control console, the sample tray, the feeder trays, and the stacker trays. Labels are located throughout the printer to assist you with a variety of tasks such as clearing a paper jam. The printer also sounds an audible tone to direct your attention to a printer problem. Your service representative can adjust the volume of this tone.

The printer provides control buttons and displays for basic printer functions and status information. The printer control console contains message and graphic displays that assist you with jam clearance and printer maintenance.

PRINTER COMPONENTS AND OPTIONS

The printer control console contains message and graphic displays as well as status indicator lights that alert you to printer conditions, paper jams, and other fault and status conditions (such as low dry ink). Other indicator lights show which feeder tray is active and the paper size in use. These indicators and the Information button help you to solve printer problems.

Also on this console are Stop and Continue buttons, which allow you to stop printing and resume an interrupted job without returning to the workstation controller. These buttons give you temporary control of the printer without interrupting input processing.
