Overview
You can send documents to your DocuPrint printer from your
Macintosh in two ways:
•
From your Macintosh drivers
DocuPrint allows you to transparently send ASCII files
and Page Description Language (PDL) files written in
PostScript level 2 from your Macintosh to the printer.
This capability is provided by AppleTalk, which enables
you to print directly to network printers.
•
From Xerox Document Submission (XDS) client software
XDS client software is intended for users of Apple
Macintosh computers running System 7.0 or greater.
Your Macintosh must be connected to the Ethernet
network communication utility using AppleTalk through
EtherTalk Phase 2.
This reference card explains how to print from your Macintosh
drivers.
