2. 2Controller components and
options
The printer controller provides the printer with print data and
commands, and receives status information from the printer. This
chapter describes the components and options available for the
controller.
Controller hardware
The printer controller consists of a Sun workstation and, if you are
printing data received over a channel, a Host Channel Unit (HCU).
The controller uses proprietary Xerox hardware, firmware, and
software to run the IPS.
Your controller may be either a Sun Ultra 2 or Ultra 60 workstation.
The following sections contain information about both the Ultra 2 and
the Ultra 60.
Sun Ultra 2 workstation
The Sun workstation provides a user interface to the print engine. It
is used to operate the IPS software which controls the printer. The
workstation contains the following hardware components:
• Sun Ultra 2 workstation processor (system unit)
• Display monitor
• Keyboard and mouse
• Connectivity boards for Ethernet and, optionally, Token Ring
• A Data Control Interface Module (DCIM2) card installed in the
processor to interface with the print engine.
