NPS/IPS Extension Operations Guide 1-1
1. Product overview
The NPS/IPS Extension is an option for the DocuPrint 2000
Series 100/115/135/155/180 EPS that enables your printing
system to operate in two different print modes: Enterprise
Printing System (EPS), and Network Printer Series/IPDS
Printing System (NPS/IPS). These print modes allow your
printing system to handle more data streams, giving you added
flexibility and increased productivity.
This chapter introduces the NPS/IPS Extension option hardware
and software components, features, functions, and modes of
operation.
System overview
The DocuPrint 2000 Series 100/115/135/155/180 EPS prints
high quality, high-resolution monochrome documents in simplex
(one-sided) or duplex (two-sided) mode at high production
speeds from LCDS, PostScript, and PCL data streams. Jobs
may be sent to the EPS printer from client workstations over a
network or from a mainframe host computer over a channel.
The NPS/IPS Extension option expands the printing capabilities
of the 2000 Series 100/115/135/155/180 EPS. With this option
installed, the EPS has the additional ability to print jobs from an
IPDS data stream, as well as utilize the extended network
printing capabilities that are available in NPS/IPS mode.
