System Hardware
The basic hardware components of the DocuTech 128/155/180
HLC systems are the DocuSP controller and the printer.
The DocuSP controller
The DocuSP controller is the connection between you and the
system. You communicate through the DocuSP software by
selecting and managing the jobs displayed on the screen and
sending them to the printer for production. The system also
communicates messages and instructions to you on the Print
Services interface screen.
The controller consists of a specially-configured workstation and
uses proprietary Xerox hardware, firmware, and software.
Specifications can be obtained from your Xerox customer
representative or by accessing the Setup, System Configuration
feature on the DocuSP user interface.
NOTE: Controller hardware configurations are subject to change
to keep up with advances in technology.
Controller overview
The controller receives LCDS*, IPDS, PostScript, and PCL data
streams from a mainframe host or a workstation client, processes
the data, and sends it to the printer. The controller also provides
the printer with print data and commands and receives status
information from the printer.
The controller consists of a workstation, which is run by the Sun
Solaris Operating environment. Also resident on the controller is
the Document Services Platform application software, known as
DocuSP software, which manages all printing, diagnostic, and
administrative functions on the printing system.
The DocuSP software includes a full-color graphical user
interface, which enables you to interact with the printing system to
set up and configure the system, to set up and implement system
options, to run print jobs, etc.
Online Help (menus and buttons) provides access to online help
that contains information when requested.
NOTE: LCDS is not available on the Production publisher
configuration at this time.
