NPS/IPS Extension Operations Guide

Product overview

The following table shows the print mode (EPS, NPS, or IPS) in 
which the printing system must be operating to process specific 
data formats.

Table 1-1  

Point mode required to process supported data streams

NOTE:

When the system is printing an IPDS job using DocuPrint 

NPS/IPS, PostScript and PCL data streams can be spooled in the 
background. If a PostScript or PCL job is printing, the NPS/IPS 
software reports a not-ready condition back to the host until the 
printer becomes available. 

*IPDS is not available as of this printing for the DocuPrint EPS 
systems. 

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.
