NPS/IPS Extension Operations Guide 1-1
1 Product overview
The NPS/IPS Extension is an option for the DocuPrint 100/115/
135/155/180 EPS that enables your printing system to operate in
two different print modes: Enterprise Printing System (EPS), and
Network Printer Series/IPDS Printing System (NPS/IPS). These
print modes allow your printing system to handle more data
streams, giving you added flexibility and increased productivity.
This chapter introduces the NPS/IPS Extension option hardware
and software components, features, functions, and modes of
operation.
System overview
The DocuPrint 100/115/135/155/180 EPS prints high quality, high-
resolution monochrome documents in simplex (one-sided) or
duplex (two-sided) mode at high production speeds from LCDS,
PostScript, and PCL data streams. Jobs may be sent to the EPS
printer from client workstations over a network or from a
mainframe host computer over a channel.
The following figure shows a DP 180 EPS, which is available with
the four stacker configuration.

are available in NPS/IPS mode.
