Controller components and options
This chapter describes the components and options available for 
the Xerox DocuPrint 100/115/135/155/180 EPS controller.
Controller overview
The controller receives data from a mainframe host or a 
workstation client, processes the data, and sends it to the printer. 
The controller also provides the printer with print data and 
commands, and receives status information from the printer. 
The controller consists of a high performance Sun workstation 
processor running Solaris software. Also resident on the 
controller is the DocuSP software, which manages all printing, 
diagnostic, and administrative functions on the printing system.
The DocuSP software includes a full color graphical user 
interface (GUI). Using the GUI, you set up and configure the 
system, set up and implement system options, and manage print 
jobs.
Accessing
DocuSP remotely
(Remote
Workflow)
Remote Workflow, a remote graphical user interface, is available 
for installation from a CD. The remote GUI allows you to manage 
your DocuSP-based printers from a single PC or Sun 
workstation. You may set your preferences from the remote client 
to disable or enable some or all connections.
Remote Workflow allows you to configure the printers that you 
want to manage, and provides real time status of the printers. 
You may switch between the printers that you are managing, but 
you can display only one printer GUI at a time.
The Remote Workflow GUI looks and functions the same as the 
local DocuSP GUI on the controller.
