NPS/IPS Extension Operations Guide 1-5
Differences in supported software features
Because of differences between NPS/IPS and EPS in regard to
the PostScript, PCL, ASCII, and VIPP interpreters, some
features are supported in NPS/IPS mode that are not supported
in EPS mode, and vice versa. Listed below are some features
that are supported differently by the two different operating
systems.
EPS only:
• Queue overrides
• Multiple queues
• DocuSP job ticket
• 178 default PostScript fonts
• Level 3 PostScript interpreter
NPS/IPS only:
• Background and cycle forms
• xgfnub (ability to add a VIPP Start command in front of a file)
• Resource-based scheduling, based on Document Structuring
Convention (DSC)
• FIFO (first in, first out) print order
• NPS/IPS job ticket
• Document forwarding
• Two-sided (duplex) tab stock printing
• Virtual printer/document attributes
NOTE: You can access some equivalent options on the EPS
by using the Job Manager and Queue Manager windows.
• 51 default PostScript Type 1 fonts
• Level 2 PostScript interpreter
NOTE: Ensuring that the queue names on the EPS are unique
and different from the Virtual Printer names on the NPS/IPS, will
help prevent jobs from being sent to the wrong print mode. Be
sure to consider this when setting up your clients.
