1. 1Product overview
This chapter provides an overview of the features and functions of
the following Xerox DocuPrint IPDS Printing Systems (IPS):
• 96 IPS
• 96 MICR IPS
• 4635 IPS
• 4635 MICR IPS
• 180 IPS
• 180 MICR IPS
System overview
The Xerox DocuPrint IPS printer series are cut-sheet, duplex, high-
speed printers that are fully compatible with the IBM Advanced
Function Presentation (AFP) architecture. They accept an IPDS data
stream from any Print Services Facility (PSF) eligible platform,
emulating an IBM IPDS Group 3 page printer with the Advanced
Function Image and Graphics (AFIG) option.
The IPS printer series is a combination of proven Xerox print engines
matched with a high-performance RISC-based controller. Each
system consists of a Sun workstation controller and the printer,
sometimes referred to as the Image Output Terminal (IOT).
A full-color graphical user interface on the Sun workstation enables
interaction with the IPS.
Host environments The IPS can print in 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
Manager can furnish the TCP/IP support for the IPS printer.
There is no minimum host operating system software level required
to support IPS. The minimum PSF levels needed to support the IPS
are:
• PSF/MVS: V2.2
• PSF/VM: V2.1
• PSF/VSE: V2.2
• PSF/400: V3.2
• PSF/6000: V2.1
• PSF/2: V2.0
