Differences in supported software features
Because of differences between NPS/IPS and EPS in regard to
the PostScript, PCL, ASCII, and VIPP interpreters, some
features are supported in NPS/IPS mode that are not supported
in EPS mode, and vice versa. Listed below are some features
that are supported differently by the two different operating
systems.
EPS only:
•
Queue overrides
•
Multiple queues
•
DocuSP job ticket
•
178 default PostScript fonts
•
Level 3 PostScript interpreter
NPS/IPS only:
•
Background and cycle forms
•
xgfnub (ability to add a VIPP Start command in front of a file)
•
Resource-based scheduling, based on Document Structuring
Convention (DSC)
•
FIFO (first in, first out) print order
•
NPS/IPS job ticket
•
Two-sided (duplex) tab stock printing

NOTE: You can access some equivalent options on the EPS
by using the Job Manager and Queue Manager windows.
•
51 default PostScript Type 1 fonts
•

NOTE: Ensuring that the queue names on the EPS are unique
and different from the Virtual Printer names on the NPS/IPS will
help prevent jobs from being sent in the wrong print mode. Be
sure to consider this when setting up your clients.
