NPS/IPS concurrent printing
The Xerox NPS/IPS can receive a variety of data streams 
including IPDS, PostScript Levels 1 and 2, PCL 5e, TIFF, and 
ASCII. The system automatically senses the type of job and 
processes it appropriately.
When your system is printing IPDS jobs, it can accept network 
PDL data streams in the background. When network PDL jobs 
are printing, only one IPDS job can be queued.
SNMP support
The system provides functionality to export the state of a printer 
using the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), thus 
allowing printer management software to monitor and report on 
the printer state.
SNMP is a standardized communications protocol for managing 
arbitrary networked devices from different vendors, such as 
workstations, servers, printers, or routers. The information to be 
communicated is presented as variable name/value pairs, 
defined in a set of standardized management information bases 
(MIBs). The MIBs define the legal variables, their types, and 
possibly a fixed set of values.
SNMP was designed to facilitate managing a heterogeneous set 
of networked devices that communicate using TCP/IP. 
Specifically, it addressed management of the network itself and 
the network traffic between those devices. Over time, MIBs were 
defined to expand the types of devices that could be managed 
using SNMP. For example, MIBs were defined specific to 
managing a workstation or a printer.
The system currently supports variables defined in the following 
MIBs:
MIB-II (RFC 1156)
This MIB defines the basic set of variables any device 
running TCP/IP should make accessible. It includes, for a 
particular device, variables for information such as a system 
description, information about each of the network interfaces 
present on the device, and information about all the IP 
datagrams sent and received by the device.
