The 92C NPS/IPS provides exceptional print quality at 600 dpi
resolution. It can receive data at 240, 300, or 600 dpi. The
controller can convert incoming data to 600 dpi for printing, or
can convert the data to 240 or 300 dpi and allow the print engine
to convert the pages to 600 dpi.

Xerox-supplied
printer controller
The printer controller includes a processor, DVD-ROM (or CD-
ROM) drive, diskette drive, keyboard, mouse, and a monitor. The
printer controller accepts the print job from the client workstation
or host, converts the files into page images, and sends the page
images to the printer. The user interface at the printer controller
allows you to perform tasks such as monitoring job status,
prioritizing jobs, and configuring the system.
