DocuTech 61xx Installation Planning Guide 2-1
2. Overview
This chapter is an overview of the hardware and software for the
Xerox DocuTech printer.
Functional overview
The DocuTech system enables personal computer (PC), Sun
Workstation, and Apple Macintosh users to print PostScript
(Levels 1, 2, and 3), HP PCL 5e, ASCII, PDF (1.4 version), and
TIFF images on a high-speed Xerox printer.
The DocuSP controller supports job submission transported over
the network using TCP/IP, IPX/SPX, Socket TCP/IP, or EtherTalk
protocol running on an Ethernet local area network (LAN).
DocuTech system components
The components of the DocuTech system are:
• (1) DocuSP controller (monitor, processor, keyboard, mouse):
The Sun platform, running DocuSP software, accepts the
print job from the client workstation, converts the files as
needed, and sends the job to the printer. The graphical user
interface (GUI) at the DocuSP controller allows you to
perform such tasks as monitoring job status, prioritizing jobs,
and configuring the system.
• (2) Printer: Prints the document according to the print options
specified by the user. The printer can then collate, stitch,
bind, or pass the document to a third-party finishing device.

representative for more information on the controller hardware
you received.
DocuSP software
DocuSP software, provided on CD ROM, is installed by Xerox
personnel after the hardware components are in place and
properly connected.
The following is a summary of major software components
installed on the DocuSP controller:
• Solaris 2.8 UNIX operating system
• Xerox DocuSPsoftware,application software components for
the graphical user interface, printer driver, PDL decomposer,
Job Pool Manager, and utilities.
• PostScript Adobe Type 1 and PCL fonts.
• Optional Xerox Diagnostic software.

Overview
2-4 DocuTech 61xx Installation Planning Guide
Client workstations and operating system software
To send print jobs to the DocuTech printer, you must provide the
proper client hardware and operating system software. In
addition to the Xerox client software, third-party TCP/IP or IPX/
SPX network software must be loaded on each client workstation
before the workstation can submit jobs to the printer. The Xerox
Production Print Services client software enables job submission
to the DocuSP controller.
Briefly, you must supply:
• PC or workstation (client): Users create their documents at
the networked client PCs or workstations using software
applications that generate either PostScript (Levels 1, 2, and
3), HP PCL 5e, PDF (1.4 version), TIFF images, or ASCII
output. When ready to print, users submit the documents to
the DocuSP controller. Other than the Xerox client software,
it is your responsibility to supply, install, and maintain
hardware and software on any PC, Sun workstation, or
Macintosh used to generate documents for printing on the
DocuTech printer.
• Ethernet and TCP/IP, IPX/SPX, or AppleTalk software: The
Ethernet LAN running TCP/IP, IPX/SPX, or AppleTalk as the
network protocol transports the print job from the client PC or
workstation to the DocuSP controller. You are responsible for
obtaining, installing, and maintaining the required Ethernet
LAN, transceivers, and connecting cables.
Supported hardware and operating systems
DocuTech supports the following types of networked client
workstations and operating systems:
• Sun UNIX workstation running Solaris 2.x
• PC x86, running MS-DOS, version 5.0 or higher (Windows
95, Windows NT, Windows 98, Windows ME, or Windows
2000 is required for the graphical user interface client), with
one of the following network protocol packages:
– PathWay Access 2.1.1 or higher, Wollongong Integrated
Networking/Transmission Control Protocol (WIN/TCP) for
DOS, release 5.0 or higher
– FTP software, PC-TCP/IP, release 2.2 or higher
– Sun Personal Computer-Network File Services (PC-NFS),
version 5.2 or higher

Overview
DocuTech 61xx Installation Planning Guide 2-5
– Novell IPX/SPX network client. This protocol requires that
your network has a Novell server.
• Apple Macintosh, System 8.6 or higher with EtherTalk phase
2.
NOTE: DocuSP software may be compatible with workstation
models and software versions other than those listed above.
Refer to the Xerox Production Print Services documentation for
more information.
Client networking software
Xerox client software, a third-party TCP/IP lpd (line printer
daemon) networking software, or Apple/Macintosh Printer
Access Protocol (PAP) networking software must be installed on
your client workstations. This software provides an interface with
the DocuSP controller which allows you to submit print jobs and
check job status.
NOTE: The DocuTech printing options available to a client user
vary according to the networking software loaded on the client
workstation.
For additional information on submitting jobs from a client
workstation, refer to the appropriate client documentation
provided with your system.
