This document is for users who will be submitting PostScript, HP
PCL 5, TIFF, and VIPP jobs to the DocuPrint NPS/IPS printers.
These users should be familiar with the applications they are

HP PCL 5, and VIPP programmers who will be creating
applications since it defines the features that are not supported.
It is assumed that these programmers have a working knowledge
of the language they are working in. For specific reference
