The printer controller provides the printer with print data and
commands, and receives status information from the printer. This
chapter describes the components and options available for the
controller.
Controller hardware
The printer controller consists of a Sun workstation and uses
proprietary Xerox hardware, firmware, and software to run the NPS.
Your controller may be either a Sun Ultra 2 or Ultra 60 workstation.
The following sections contain information about both the Ultra 2 and
the Ultra 60.

is used to operate the NPS software that controls the printer. The
workstation contains the following hardware components:
•
Sun Ultra 2 workstation processor (system unit)
•
Display monitor
•
Keyboard and mouse
•
Connectivity boards for Ethernet and, optionally, Token Ring
•
A Data Control Interface Module (DCIM2) card installed in the
