DocuSP 4.2 Overview
This document highlights the changes and new features
between the DocuSP 4.1 and DocuSP 4.2 software
releases.
Many changes have been made to accommodate Xerox
customers who have specific needs.
The first section of this document provides a list of features
that are new for all products. The following sections
indicate features that are new to specific product families
only.
New Features And Updates For All Products
General Feature Enhancements
DVD Installation
DocuSP 4.2 introduces the ability to install DocuSP
software from DVD. Previously, DocuSP required CDROM media for installation. CD-ROM media continues
to be supported for installations; specifically those
systems that do not include a DVD-ROM drive.
However, by using DVD media instead of CD media,
the CSE performs fewer manual steps at install time,
and saves, at minimum, the time required to swap
CDs.
NOTE: As mentioned above, DVD install media are
only available for systems that contain a DVD-ROM
drive. In addition, the DocuSP Color Supplemental
Software is not yet available on DVD. Currently, the
Nuvera, HighLight Color, and iGen3 systems contain a
DVD-ROM drive.
PPML Update
DocuSP can now accept PPML zipped jobs with a
Xerox XPIF ticket attached.

Backup/Restore Operability Updates
The Backup and Restore GUI’s operability has been
improved in DocuSP 4.2.
Previously, Configuration Backup and Restore did not
allow backup and restore of DocuSP license data and
was not accessible on an unlicensed system. Under
DocuSP 4.2, Configuration Backup and Restore
provides the following improvements:
♦ Previously used settings in the Configuration
Backup window are saved across DocuSP restarts
and instances when the window is closed and
reopened. These settings include the selected
files/directories for backup, the destination
directory, and the state of the estimate size
option.
♦ Unless overridden by the saved settings, the
default directory destination for backup is
/var/spool/XRXnps/backup. If this directory is not
present on the system, the default is the root
directory.
♦ The default source directory for restore is
/var/spool/XRXnps/backup. If this directory is not
present on the system, the default is the root
directory.
♦ Unless overridden by the saved settings, the
default state of the Estimate Size option is
selected.
♦ The ability to backup/restore DocuSP license data
is provided.
♦ The ability to perform Configuration Restore on
an unlicensed system is allowed, which results in
the system being licensed as well as the other data
being restored.
NOTE: This capability is not available on Nuvera
systems.
2 DocuSP 3.8 and 4.0 to 4.1 Differences Document
Previously, the System Backup default destination was
displayed as the root directory. Also, System Restore
was not displayed as one of the choices in the
Backup/Restore window. With this feature, System
Backup/Restore provides the following improvements:
♦ The default directory destination for backup is
/XRXbackup.
♦ A System Restore option is provided in the
Backup/Restore window. When selected, the
System Restore option displays a window
containing instructions for how to perform a System
Restore.

Imposition/Layout enhancements
DocuSP 4.2 provides the user with a new template, the
Z-sort template. In addition, the Z-sort, or ZIP-sort
capability has been extended to all multiple-up options.
This addition allows multiple-up (e.g. 4-up, 6-up, 9-up,
etc.) to be cut and then stacked in a predefined order
so that postal sort order is maintained. See the figure
below.

The output may be either single-sided or double-sided,
and the layout numbers, as is suggested by the layout
example shown above, the pages and images
appropriately so that the order is maintained when cut
and stacked.
As a specific example of N-up imposition, consider the
2-Up case. 2-Up Flip right can be programmed by
selecting “Repeated” and by checking the “Flip Right”
box. In a similar fashion, the legacy 2-Up Cut and
Stack option can be programmed by selecting “Cut and
Stack” and checking the “Cut On Binding Edge” box.

Imposition: Job faults removed and Default scale is
100%
In this release, a few operability improvements have
been made to the imposition software.
The default settings and operation better match
customer usage.
♦ Jobs that previously would fault with a warning that
the image is off the page no longer fault. A job
message is posted on the error page/error window
warning that image data is off the page.
♦ Previously, the default setting was to auto scale.
Customers routinely use scale set to 100% to avoid
reduction or enlargement of image areas.
These improvements make overall training and
operation easier for the walk-up user. Moreover, most
layout users do not want to scale the images. The new
operation allows slight amounts of white space (for
example) to run off the page without faulting the job.

Additions to Job Manager Display
The DocuSP 4.2 release introduces the following
enhancements to the existing Job Manager job list:
♦ Pages processed and total pages printed are
available in the job list. This information is updated
dynamically as values are changed.
♦ The last JDL and JDE are displayed in the job list
for LCDS jobs on systems that support LCDS.
♦ The last HJOBNO is displayed in the job list for
LCDS jobs on systems that support LCDS.
The addition of the pages processed and total pages
printed to the Job Manager are meant to assist the
user in determining the overall progress of each job.
Users can determine the size of a job and alter job
scheduling according to their needs.
The addition of the JDL/JDE and Job number to the
Job Manager on systems that support LCDS are
intended to give the user verification that the job prints
with the correct resources.
Job Manager Job List with new columns displayed (non-LCDS systems will
not see the Report ID and JDL/JDE columns).
