DOCUPRINT NETWORK PRINTER SERVICES CLIENT
GUIDE TO SUBMITTING JOBS FROM THE CLIENT 1-3
Submitting print jobs
You can send print data directly from the application to the printer, or
you can create a PDL data (.prn) file on the workstation, then use a
print job submission program to print. The method you choose
depends on your workstation configuration and your job submission
requirements.
Printing directly from the application Printing directly from the application (or driver, also known as
transparent printing) is easier than using a print job submission
program. However, depending on the application, this method may
not support all available print options, such as number of copies,
simplex or duplex printing, and stitching. (Transparent printing is
done using one of the Xerox printer drivers, or by using third-party
drivers with the Xerox PPD file for your printer.)
Also, this method is available through some, but not all, platform and
application software configurations.
Using a print job submission program Using a print job submission program requires a second step in the
printing process. The user prints from the application to a PDL data
file, then uses one of the following methods to submit the job and
specify print options:
• The lpr command provides options for submitting print jobs. The
functionality of the lpr command is dependent on the TCP/IP
software installed on the workstation.
• Xerox Client Software provides a print command for submitting
jobs and specifying print options. The functionality of the print
command is dependent on the TCP/IP software installed on the
workstation.
• Xerox Document Submission (XDS) software for the Macintosh
provides a graphical user interface for submitting jobs and
specifying print options.
For information on XDS software for the Macintosh, refer to the
Guide to job submission for Macintosh. This guide is part of the
Xerox Production Print Services series.
• Common Client Xerox Document Submission (XDS) software
for Windows 3.11, Windows 95, Windows NT 4.0, and Windows
98 provides a graphical user interface for submitting jobs and
specifying print options.
For information on XDS software for Windows, refer to the
document Guide to job submission for Windows 3.x/95/NT 4.0.
This guide is part of the Xerox Production Print Services series.
• Xerox DigiPath Quick Print software for Windows NT 4.0. This
software provides a series of dialog boxes you use to select a
document, set up a job ticket, and submit your print job.
In some cases, the workstation can be set up for more than one
method of job submission.
