The System Guide provides the information needed to perform
system administration tasks for configuring and maintaining the
Xerox Document Services Platform (DocuSP) for printing
systems.

working knowledge of Local Area Networks (LANs),
communication protocols, and the applicable client platforms to
assist them in a customer site setup.
