DECprint Supervisor (DCPS) for OpenVMS, Version 1.0C
EK-DPSVM-CL. A01
April 1994
Congratulations.
You’ve just opened the seal on one of the finest, most reliable, and versatile laser printers available
in the marketplace today. Now take the next step and open up new frontiers in PostScript printing
efficiency and effectiveness with Digital’s layered software product, DECprint Supervisor (DCPS) for
OpenVMS. The DECprint Supervisor product enhances PostScript printing for OpenVMS systems
on both the VAX and the Alpha AXP platforms.
The DECprint Supervisor product is part of our on-going commitment to ensure that our customers
get the most out of their investments in printing systems—vendor mix notwithstanding. With this
product, you can add significant value to your new printer while maximizing the performance of
your existing printers.
The DECprint Supervisor family is offered as three products in order to provide you with modular
printing solutions that dovetail with your PostScript printing business needs. The DECprint Supervisor for OpenVMS, Base product (DCPS-Base) drives Digital PostScript printers and supports files
formatted in PostScript and DEC PPL3 (ANSI). The optional DECprint Supervisor for OpenVMS,
Open product (DCPS-Open) enables you to drive selected non-Digital PostScript printers. The optional DECprint Supervisor for OpenVMS, Plus product (DCPS-Plus) provides value-added features
along with translators and automatic detection of the most popular printer languages.
This modularization means that you purchase only the software printing solutions that meet your
unique business requirements. And you can apply those solutions in your OpenVMS or—through
PATHWORKS—in your DOS, Macintosh, or OS/2 environments.
The OpenVMS license entitles you to use the DCPS-Base component of the DECprint Supervisor
family. This product provides you with centralized selection and control of such items as:
—
—
—
—
—
—
—

PostScript and DEC PPL3 (ANSI) printing
Device control modules for basic data types
Print job accounting information
Status and error message routing to the user’s terminal
Single-sided, double-sided, and tumble printing
Portrait and landscape page orientation
Input and output tray selection

To purchase the DCPS-Base product, call 1-800-DIGITAL and order the media and documentation
by asking for part number QA-09NAA-H* (for VAX platforms) or part number QA-03XAA-H8 (for
AXP platforms).
With the optional DCPS-Open license, you can drive third-party printers, such as Hewlett-Packard
LaserJets and Apple LaserWriters. To order the DCPS-Open product, call 1-800-DIGITAL and
ask for part number QL-09FA*-AA (for VAX platforms), or part number QL-09KA*-AA (for AXP
platforms).

The optional DCPS-Plus license extends the scope of your PostScript printing business solutions by
giving you access to such invaluable features as:
