The DocuPrint 100/115/135/155/180 EPS includes the controller,
printer and all appropriat e sof tware. “DocuPri nt printe r” or “pr inter”
refers to the base printer engine (IOT) only.
NOTE: Some printer configurations may include a control console
(not shown).
A host mainframe computer or network-connected PC, Apple
Macintosh, or Sun UNIX client workstati on submits print jobs to
the printing system. The print job may be in any of the following
data formats:
• PostScript levels 2 and 3
• HP PCL5c, PCL5e, and PCL6: Hewlett-Packard Print Control
Language
• LCDS: Line Conditioned Data Stream
• IPDS: Intelligent Printer Data Stream

• VIPP: Variable Data Int elligent PostScript Print Ware
Customer-supplied
network and
channel connection
Xerox-supplied
controller
NOTE: Enablement of IPDS data format may require additional
equipment. Contact your local Xerox representative for more
information.
The customer needs to supply one or more of the following
communication connections:
• Ethernet local area network (LAN) running TCP/IP, AppleTalk,
or Novell NetWare network protocol software.
• Online (channel-attached): Bus and tag cables supporting the
IBM 3211/4245 interface.
• Token ring LAN running TCP/IP, Novell 3.x, or AppleTalk
network protocol software.
NOTE: Enablement of channel-attached and Token Ring
communication connection requires additiona l equipment. Contact
your local Xerox represent ative for more information.
The controller (monitor, processor, DVD drive, keyboard, mouse,
diskette drive, and cartridge tape drive) accepts the print job from
the host mainframe computer or network-connected client
workstation, converts the files into page images, and sends the
page images to the print engine. External 9-track and 18/36-track
tape drives can be used for resource loading and for offline
printing.
Xerox-supplied
printer
Installation Planning Guide 1- 3
The printer (also known as t he image output termina l [IOT] or pr int
engine) accepts page image dat a from the controller and prints
the document according to the print options specified by the user.
The printer also handles paper stacking, collating, and optional
finishing.
Product overview
NOTE: It is the responsibility of the customer to supply , ins tall, and
maintain hardware and software on any PC, Sun workstation, or
Macintosh workstation that is used to generate documents for
printing on the DocuPrint 100/115/135/155/180 EPS. You are also
responsible for obtaining, installing, and maintaining the required
Ethernet local area network , transceivers, b us and tag cables, and
any other connecting cables.
The Xerox DocuPrint 100/115/135/155/180 EPS prints LCDS data
from a mainframe host computer, emulating an IBM 4245 or 3211
line printer. The printing system can receive data over a channel
through bus and tag cables and throug h the Socket Gateway or lpr
using TCP/IP protocol.

Product overview
Client networking software
Xerox client software, a third-party TCP/IP lpr networking
software, Novell, or Apple/Macintosh Printer Access Protocol
(PAP) networking softw are must be installed on your client
workstations or downloaded from the controller. This software
provides an interface with the contro ller, which allows you to
submit print jobs and check job status.
NOTE: The printing options that are available to a client user vary
according to the networking software loaded on the client
workstation.
Additional information on submitting j obs from a cli ent workstation
is specified in othe r documents that are p art of this publicati on set.
MICR printing features
The DocuPrint 100/115/135/155/180 MX systems produc e a
Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR) line on negotiable
and turnaround documents such as checks and bills. The MICR
printing system prints documents using magnetic ink and special
fonts to create machine readable information that allows for quick
document processing.
Installation Planning Guide 1- 5
Product overview
In general, MICR is used to print accounting and routing
information on blank checks and ot her negotiable document s. The
magnetic encoding capabil iti es can be used f or any pri nted out put.
The following illustrates a check printed with a MICR line in U.S.
format. The entire MICR line, which consist s of numbers and
characters (called symbols), is printed using magnetic ink.

Xerox provides a set of 300 and 600 dpi E13B and CMC7 MICR
fonts for use with your DocuPrint 100/115/135/155/180 MX
system. To receive the high print qu ality gua ranteed by Xerox, yo u
must use these MICR fonts.
CMC7 fonts have been adopted in vari ous countr ies out side of the
U.S., and are the official standard in France. Like the E13B font,
they are magnetically readable, but wit h a different character
design and recognition criteria. (Currently, CMC7 is available only
through Xerox Europe.)

The “Test” fonts are non-readable MICR hollow bitmap (or outline)
fonts, provided for testing MICR applications and printing nonnegotiable documents.
LCDS MICR fonts The MICR fonts that are used for printing an LCDS data stream
include the following.
E13B4 fonts:
• E13B4 Portrait
• E13B4 Landscape
• E13B4 Inverse Portrait
• E13B4J
CMC7 fonts:

Unsupported features
The DocuPrint 100/115/135/155/180 EPS does not support the
security and audit feature or bar code reading. In addition,
although the Line Thickening selection and the Virtual Printer
Imaging parameters are available when you use MICR, using
these features when printing MICR documents is not
recommended, as they corrupt the MICR line.
In general, all print quali ty adj ustm ent s and enhance ment sett ing s
should be set at the nominal settings when printing MICR output.
Host connectivity options
Installation Planning Guide 1- 7
The Xerox DocuPrint 100/115/135/155/180 EPS can receive data
in the following w a y s:
• Over a channel through a bus and tag cable connection
• Through a network interface, using Novell, TCP/IP, or

2 Controller component s and
Controller overview
options
This chapter describes the components and options available for
the Xerox DocuPrint 100/115/135/155/180 EPS controller.
The controller receives dat a 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 s oftware. Al so resident on th e controller
is the DocuSP software, which manages all printing, diagnostic,
and administrative functions on the pr inting system.
The DocuSP software includes a full colo r graphical user interface
(GUI). Using the GUI, you set up and configure the system, set up
and implement system options, and manage print jobs.
DocuSP remote access
(Remote Workflow)
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 work stati on.
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 t ime status of the printer s. 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.
Controller components
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.
