host and connectivity requirements, refer to “Preparing for
installation” in the DocuPrint NPS/IPS Installation Planning
Guide.
Installation process
To efficiently install and set up the NPS/IPS Extension option on
your 2000 Series 100/115/135/155/180 EPS system, certain
activities need to be performed by you and by Xerox.
Xerox is responsible for the physical installation of the NPS/IPS
Extension hardware and IPS/NPS software. The steps in the
installation process typically occur in the following order:
1. Xerox personnel install the NPS/IPS software and the NPS/
IPS Extension hardware.
2. Xerox personnel obtain a software license authorizing you to
use the IPS/NPS software.
3. Xerox personnel connect the printing system to the network
or channel.
4. Xerox personnel and you configure the printing system,
clients, or IBM host as applicable to submit jobs.
5. Xerox personnel conduct initial operator training.
For detailed information about the activities that you and Xerox
personnel perform during installation, refer to Installation in the
Xerox DocuPrint NPS/IPS Installation Planning Guide.
Software licensing
When the NPS or IPS software is purchased, the owner needs a
license to use it. Until the license is enabled at the printing
system, jobs are not processed and printed.
NOTE: For an NPS/IPS Extension, software licenses are
required. Refer to your Xerox DocuPrint NPS/IPS Installation
Planning Guide for further information on licenses.
