functions such as requesting sample prints, or shutting down the 
system.

The mouse is another main method of communicating with the 
printer.

The LCD monitor allows you to interact with the printer and to 
monitor its interaction with the various components. During a print 
job, printer error messages may display to notify you of any 
unexpected conditions.

The controller may be configured with any of the following optional 
components:

•

Connectivity board to enable Token Ring

•

Channel interface board for channel connection to a host for 
online LCDS printing

•

One SCSI board to connect to an external tape drive

•

Creator-3D series 3 graphics board (may replace the video 
graphics board delivered with the controller)

The following components are external to the processor. The 
controller stand contains sections that may hold these 
components.

•

Quarter-inch cartridge (QIC) tape drive

•

36-track cartridge tape drive (optional)

•

External 36 GB hard disk drive (optional)

NOTE: This additional drive is standard equipment on systems 
with the NPS/IPS extension. 

The controller is provided with a special stand that holds all its 
standard components. In addition to the processor, keyboard with 
the mouse, and the quarter-inch cartridge tape drive, the stand 
can accommodate the optional 36-track tape drive and one 
external hard disk drive (required for the NPS/IPS Extension 
option).

The Xerox DocuPrint 100/115/135/155/180 EPS may be 
configured for either the online interface, the offline interface, or 
both.

The online (channel-attached) interface receives input directly 
from any environment that supports the IBM 3211 and 4245 host 
systems.
