DocuPrint Network Printing System
(NPS)
The entire DocuPrint Network Printing System includes the printer,
printer controller, printer interface, and all appropriate software.
DocuPrint printer or printer refers to the base printer engine (IOT)

Note: It is your responsibility to supply, install, and maintain
hardware and software on any PC, DECStation, Sun Workstation,
HP/Apollo Workstation, IBM RS/6000 Workstation, or Macintosh
system used to generate documents for printing on the DocuPrint
printers. You are also responsible for obtaining, installing, and
maintaining the required Ethernet LAN or Token Ring network,
transceivers, and connecting cables.
The DocuPrint 96/4635/180 NPS and 96/4635/180 MICR NPS
consist of a printer controller and a printer. They accept print input
created by client software in PostScript Levels 1 and 2, VIPP
(Variable Data Intelligent PostScript Print Ware), HP PCL 5c,
HP PCL5e, or ASCII. This print input is passed to the printer
controller through an Ethernet, Token Ring, or FDDI connection. The
printer controller accepts the print job from the client workstation,
converts the files into page images, and sends the page images to
the printer.
The DocuPrint 4635 NPS and 4635 MICR NPS print data at a rate of
up to 135 pages per minute, or up to 154 pages per minute with the
smaller, 7 by 10 inch (178 by 254 mm) paper used with the optional
