1. 1DocuPrint Network Printer Services client

Print data originates with a document created by the user at a client workstation using an application software package, or at a mainframe or minicomputer. The application allows users to create and format a document according to their exact specifications.

The application software provides the capability to print the document using a page description language (PDL). The application produces print data in one of the supported page description language formats, for example PostScript level 2.

Note: For information on Xerox drivers, refer to the following web site: http://www.xerox.com/drivers.

Note: Northlake Software, Inc. develops printer interface software that provides access from Digital Equipment Corporation Open VMS systems to network printers. For more information on this software, refer to the following web site: http://www.nls.com.

DOCUPRINT NETWORK PRINTER SERVICES CLIENT

Document attributes

An attribute is a piece of information about a job, such as printing requirements. Examples of document attributes are number of copies or type of paper.

Each job has an associated set of attributes, some of which are required, while others are optional. If a required attribute is missing for a given job, a system default setting is used.

Attribute values can be assigned by:

• A job ticket from Xerox client software, set by an end user at a

workstation

• A job submission protocol, such as lpr options, set by an end

user at a workstation

• Virtual printers, set by the printer controller

• DSC, set in the job by a driver from an end user workstation

• System defaults, set at the printer controller by an administrator.

Conflicting values set by the different sources are resolved through an order of precedence. The list above is from the highest to the lowest level of precedence. For example, if the job ticket and the default attributes conflict, the job ticket attributes will take precedence.

Virtual printers

Note: Attributes may be called different names, depending on the

source used to assign them. For example, map color is the attribute name used in virtual printers, whereas the same attribute is known as extraction color by Xerox client software. In both cases, it is the attribute that is used to specify the colored parts of the document that convert to the available highlight color.

Users, operators, and administrators may view document attributes. The amount of information available about job attributes depends on the access level.

Once an attribute is assigned to a job, it cannot be removed. However, in some cases, it may be changed.

For detailed information on attributes, refer to the Guide to Managing Print Jobs.

A virtual printer is a “logical” printer that applies sets of attributes to jobs submitted to it.

Each virtual printer has a different name, and one physical printer can have numerous virtual printers set up on it.

Users may override virtual printer attributes by using the appropriate job submission option.

For detailed information on virtual printers and their management, refer to the Guide to Managing Print Jobs.

1-2 GUIDE TO SUBMITTING JOBS FROM THE CLIENT

DOCUPRINT NETWORK PRINTER SERVICES CLIENT

Submitting print jobs

You can send print data directly from the application to the printer, or you can create a PDL data (.prn) file on the workstation, then use a print job submission program to print. The method you choose depends on your workstation configuration and your job submission requirements.

Printing directly from the application Printing directly from the application (or driver, also known as

transparent printing) is easier than using a print job submission program. However, depending on the application, this method may not support all available print options, such as number of copies, simplex or duplex printing, and stitching. (Transparent printing is done using one of the Xerox printer drivers, or by using third-party drivers with the Xerox PPD file for your printer.)

Also, this method is available through some, but not all, platform and application software configurations.

Using a print job submission program Using a print job submission program requires a second step in the

printing process. The user prints from the application to a PDL data file, then uses one of the following methods to submit the job and specify print options:

• The lpr command provides options for submitting print jobs. The

functionality of the lpr command is dependent on the TCP/IP software installed on the workstation.

• Xerox Client Software provides a print command for submitting

jobs and specifying print options. The functionality of the print command is dependent on the TCP/IP software installed on the workstation.

• Xerox Document Submission (XDS) software for the Macintosh

provides a graphical user interface for submitting jobs and specifying print options.

For information on XDS software for the Macintosh, refer to the Guide to job submission for Macintosh. This guide is part of the Xerox Production Print Services series.

• Common Client Xerox Document Submission (XDS) software

for Windows 3.11, Windows 95, Windows NT 4.0, and Windows 98 provides a graphical user interface for submitting jobs and specifying print options.

For information on XDS software for Windows, refer to the document Guide to job submission for Windows 3.x/95/NT 4.0. This guide is part of the Xerox Production Print Services series.

• Xerox DigiPath Quick Print software for Windows NT 4.0. This

software provides a series of dialog boxes you use to select a document, set up a job ticket, and submit your print job.

In some cases, the workstation can be set up for more than one method of job submission.

Receiving job status feedback

DOCUPRINT NETWORK PRINTER SERVICES CLIENT

Client workstations display fault messages and other information, such as the status of feeder trays and output bins. If properly configured, the workstations may be able to display job status, as described in the following list.

• To determine the status of jobs submitted using the lpr

command, you must issue an lpq command at the command line. With some UNIX systems jobs can be submitted using the lp command and status can be determined using the lpstat command. Some application software packages may provide a simplified means of obtaining job status, perhaps using icons. Job status is also available by establishing a telnet connection to the Printer Controller to access the user interface from your workstation. Printer and additional status information is also available. See “Using remote access” in the Guide to Configuring and Managing the System for more information.

The job status command (lpq) is available at client workstations unless your TCP/IP network communications utilities do not support it.

• Xerox Client Software provides commands for listing the status

of the job (listjob) and for listing the queue (listq). These commands are available for jobs submitted using Xerox Client Software.

• AppleTalk provides job status information at the client

workstation through the print monitor function. Workstation users can also determine the status of a queue.

The following table describes the job status capabilities of the various workstations.

Table 1-2. Job status reference

2. 2Setting up workstations

This chapter describes how to prepare your DOS, Macintosh, and UNIX workstations to work with DocuPrint. It includes procedures for installing and removing Xerox Client Software (print command).

Before you complete the tasks in this chapter:

• Verify that at least 850KB of disk space is available on the client

workstation. The Xerox Client Software package requires approximately 450 to 550KB, and temporary files and the directory structure require another 200 to 300KB.

• Verify the connections between the Printer Controller and the

client workstation.

• Set the default media for the printer (Set Default Media

command).

• Set the printer’s paper trays (Set Tray command).

• Start printing and queueing on the Printer Controller (Start All

command).

• Ensure that the networking communication package for your

Setting up PC-DOS workstations

This section describes the steps for installing the Xerox Document Submission Client Software, the appropriate PPD (PostScript Printer Description) file, and the Decomposition Service Tools on a networked PC-DOS workstation.

In order for jobs submitted by Xerox Client software to print, Xerox job ticket processing must be enabled. This is specified during installation or by using the Configure utility. Also, in order to download the client software, FTP capability must be enabled on the controller. This is specified during installation or via the Configure utility. If security is a concern, FTP capability can be disabled after the software is downloaded by using Configure. For more information, see the chapter “Using utility commands” in your Guide to Configuring and Managing the System.

client platform is properly installed and running.

GUIDE TO SUBMITTING JOBS FROM THE CLIENT 2-1

SETTING UP WORKSTATIONS

Installing Xerox Client Software for DOS

You install Xerox Client Software on client workstations using the ftp command to log on to the Printer Controller, retrieve an installation command file, and execute it. This procedure automatically downloads the software.

Xerox Client Software works only for the drive on which it is installed. You must be running Wollongong Pathway Access release 3.1, FTP PC/TCP, or Sun PC-NFS V5.1software.

Note: Version 3.0 of FTP’s PC/TCP is recommended because of a change FTP made to the 4.0 version of their software. If you are using version 4.0, you can copy the 3.0 version of the FTP.EXE file to the PCTCP directory and use it for this procedure.

Note: The Wollongong TCP/IP communication packages for some versions of PC-DOS may not support 16-bit Ethernet communication cards from 3Com and Western Digital Corporation. It may also intermittently hang up if you use a batch file to transmit a large number of print jobs back to back.

To install Xerox Client Software, complete the following steps at the client:

1. Ensure that the network software is installed and running.

2. If the host table file does not exist, create it.

3. Verify that the names and corresponding TCP/IP addresses of the Printer Controller and the PC client itself are in the host table file.

• For Pathway Access clients, this filename is “hosts,” and it

resides in the \pathway directory or in the directory where the Pathway Access software resides.

• For FTP PC/TCP clients, this filename is “hosts.txt” and it

may reside in the \etc directory.

• For PC-NFS clients, this filename is “hosts,” and it resides

in the \nfs directory.

Note: If the network configuration file does not define the location of the host table absolutely to include the drive specification, the user will be unable to print from other drives.

4. Verify that the PC can communicate with the Printer Controller, by entering one of the following:

• ping <Printer Controller name>

• ftp <Printer Controller name>

If the response is “unknown host,” go back to step 2.

5. Change the current directory to the \ directory.

2-2 GUIDE TO SUBMITTING JOBS FROM THE CLIENT

SETTING UP WORKSTATIONS

6. Find the client directory and command file for your client platform in the table below:

Client platform Client directory Command file

MS-DOS Sun PC-NFS MS__DOS__NFS instnfs.bat

MS-DOS FTP MS__DOS__FTP instftp.bat

MS-DOS Wollongong Pathway Access

7. Using the appropriate client directory and command file, enter the following to access the Printer Controller using the ftp guest account.

>ftp <Printer Controller name> Name: <Printer Controller name:username>:ftp Password: <RETURN> ftp> ls ftp>cd <client directory> ftp>get <command file> ftp>quit >

For FTP PC/TCP client installation, enter any character string and <RETURN> at the “Password” prompt. Include the local filename with the command file (for example, enter get <command file> <local filename>).

8. Execute the batch file. Provide the name of the Printer Controller to install from, as follows:

>(command file) <Printer Controller name>

MS__DOS__PATHWAY instpat.bat

9. Verify that line 1 of the \usr\xerox\nps\client\cconf file has the name of the Printer Controller. If it does not, edit line 1 to include the Printer Controller name.

10. Make sure your path environment variable contains directories for the Xerox client .exe files and for the networking software \usr\xerox\nps\client\bin.

11. Change the PATH statement so that the directory \usr\xerox\nps\client\bin containing Xerox Client Software commands precedes other directories that may include identical commands. If this is not done, the client user must explicitly specify the Xerox Client directory whenever typing “print,” “listq,” or “listjob.”

12. Set the default sender name for the client by adding the following statement to the autoexec.bat file:

set UNAME = <sender name>

This statement adds the UNAME environment variable. If the default sender name is not set, the client software uses “???” in the sender name field.

13. Reboot the PC so the changes in the autoexec.bat file take effect.

GUIDE TO SUBMITTING JOBS FROM THE CLIENT 2-3

SETTING UP WORKSTATIONS

Verifying your installation

To verify that the software installation was successful:

1. Enter listq to display the status of available queues.

2. Go to the directory containing Golden Print Job masters (\usr\xerox\nps\client\gpj) or any directory that contains a sample file.

3. Enter print -p <queue name> <sample file name>. The system should respond with “Print request forwarded.”

4. Enter listjob to make sure your job is being printed.

Note: “Print” is a common command name for printing, and you might accidentally execute a different print command. For this reason, you may wish to verify that the installed Xerox print command is in use. You can verify that the DocuPrint NPS print command is being executed by typing print <Enter> at the command line. The DocuPrint command always gives a usage statement describing its syntax.

Installing the PPD file for the PC

You need to install the PostScript Printer Description (PPD) file for your specific printer model. To do so, first determine the appropriate directory for installing the PPD file by referring to your application software documentation. Then enter the following:

cd <DOS directory for PPD files> ftp <DocuPrint Printer Controller>

Name: ftp Password: <RETURN> ftp> ls ftp> cd PPD ftp> get <PPDfile> ftp> quit

In the example above, <PPDfile> is the file for your printer model. The files are stored in the PPD directory and named XDP####.PPD, where #### is your DocuPrint model number; for example XDP4890.PPD. for example XDP 4635.PPD.

For FTP PC/TCP client installation, enter any character string and <RETURN> at the “Password” prompt.

Installing Xerox Client Software for UNIX

Note: In order for jobs submitted by Xerox Client software to print, Xerox job ticket processing must be enabled. This is specified during installation or by using the Configure utility. Also, in order to download the client software, FTP capability must be enabled on the controller. This is specified during installation or via the Configure utility. If security is a concern, FTP capability can be disabled after the software is downloaded by using Configure. For more information, see the chapter “Using utility commands” in your Guide to Configuring and Managing the System.

At the client workstation, log on to the client as root and perform the following steps:

1. Verify that the Printer Controller name and TCP/IP address are

2. If an entry containing the Printer Controller name and TCP/IP

Installing Xerox Client Software man pages

Xerox preinstalls the Client Software man pages in the /usr/xerox/ nps/client/man directory. However you may want to access these man pages from the /usr/man directory, with the UNIX man pages. Consider the following options:

• Install them under /usr/share on the public server.

• C shell users:

Create a separate man page directory and modify your MANPATH environment variable to point to them. If you do so, however, all users who want to use these man pages must modify their .cshrc files as follows:

1. Create the following directories:

2. Copy the contents of the /usr/xerox/nps/client/man

3. Edit the .cshrc file in the home directory to include the

• /usr/xerox/man

• /usr/xerox/man/man1

directory into /usr/xerox/man/man1.

following line:

setenv MANPATH /usr/xerox/man:/usr/man

4. Reinitialize the shell environment by entering source .cshrc

• Korn shell users:

1. Create the directories /usr/xerox/man and /usr/xerox/man/ man1.

2. Copy the contents of the /usr/xerox/nps/client/man directory into /usr/xerox/man/man1.

3. Add the following lines to the .profile file in the home directory to allow access to the man pages:

MANPATH = /usr/xerox/man:/usr/man

export MANPATH

• On a DEC ULTRIX client workstation, do one of the following:

— Copy print.1, listjob.1, and listq.1 to the /usr/man/man1

directory. Replace the ULTRIX print.1 file that already exists in this directory.

— If you do not want to replace the ULTRIX print.1 file, install

the Xerox print.1 file in the /usr/man/manl or /usr/man/ mann directory. Then rename the file print.l or print.n respectively. To access the man pages, enter man local print or man new print.

— Copy the man pages to the /usr/xerox/man/man1 directory.

To access the man pages for a specific command, include the directory in your entry. For example, to access the man pages for the listjob command, enter man -p /usr/xerox/ man/man1/listjob.

Enabling lpr print utilities for UNIX workstations

The following section provides information specific to Sun OS 4.0 and 4.1x, and Solaris environments.

SunOS 4.0 and 4.1x

To enable lpr print utilities, you need to edit the /etc/printcap file. Each entry in a printcap file describes a printer; each entry is a line consisting of a number of fields separated by colons (:). The first entry for each printer gives the names that are known for the printer, separated by vertical bars (|). You can continue entries onto multiple lines by making a backslash (\) the last character of a line, and you can include empty fields for readability.

The parameters required to enable lpr utilities on UNIX systems that support lpr to submit jobs to DocuPrint are as follows:

• rp—virtual printer name. By default, when a DocuPrint system

is installed, a single virtual printer is created with the name of the printer.

SETTING UP WORKSTATIONS

• rm—machine name for the Printer Controller (from the /etc/

hosts file, NIS, or domain name service).

• sd—spool directory. Choose a spool directory with sufficient

free space to accommodate the largest document you want to print.

• mx—maximum file size. Enter 0 (zero) for unlimited file size to

avoid truncating files being sent to the printer.

• lp—device name. Use an empty string (lp=:).

Note: To define multiple DocuPrint printers on a network, “rm” must have an “sd” assigned for each printer. Otherwise, the status commands will report all jobs sent to one printer only.

The following example shows printcap entries for a printer named “Perfecto r.” The Printer Controller is registered as “perfector.” An additional virtual printer, “Perfector-duplex,” is defined for duplex printing.

Perfector|docuprint in 2301:\ :rp=perfector:rm=perfector:\ :sd=/var/spool/perfector:mx#0:lp=:

Solaris

The following instructions are specific to the operation of Solaris lp for submission to DocuPrint NPS. Submission using lp on the DocuPrint controller is NOT supported!

Note: The printer controller’s Sun operating system is based on the standard Sun operating system; however, it has been customized for use with the Xerox printer controller. Therefore, not all standard Sun operating system features are available.

While the instructions for editing the /etc/printcap file are generic for SunOS 4.x UNIX systems using lpr, the systems that use lp operate differently on each UNIX platform. Solaris administrators should consult their man pages or the Solaris Answerbook for more information on the commands used below. Solaris Admintool is NOT recommended, because the “remote system type” option is not supported.

At the client, login as root (except lpstat).

• To start the print service:

/etc/init.d/lp start

• To stop the print service:

/etc/init.d/lp stop

• To identify the DocuPrint and its type:

lpsystem -t bsd -T 1 -R 1 -y “description of printer” nps_hostname

where:

• -t bsd defines the DocuPrint system as a berkley spooler

• -T 1 defines the timeout parameter

• -R 1 defines the retry parameter

• -y ascii field for “description of printer” must be in quotes

• To identify the virtual printer on the DocuPrint to use:

lpadmin -p que_name -s nps_name\!virtual_printer_name - any

where:

• -p que_name defines the printer name on the client

• que_name can be the same name as the

Printing using lpr utilities

Using lpr utilities in DOS To use these lpr utilities in DOS:

PRINTING USING XEROX UTILITIES AND LPR UTILITIES (DOS AND UNIX)

You may print a document using the following lpr utilities:

• lpr (DOS and UNIX)

• lpq (DOS and UNIX)

• lprm (DOS and UNIX)

• lpc (UNIX only)

• If you are using FTP PC-TCP/IP software, these commands are

available with DocuPrint. Refer to your software documentation for a description of all the options available.

• If you are using the Wollongong Pathway Access network

communication package, you can use the lpr command to print jobs, but the -C options are not available. Refer to the documentation you received with your Wollongong software for complete information.

• If you are using Sun PC-NFS, you may be able to submit jobs to

DocuPrint if your system is configured to do so. Ask your system administrator to verify this information. For complete information on setting up the print capability, refer to your PCNFS software documentation.

• To check status of jobs, use the Telnet utility.

lpr

Use the printer or to specify print options for the job you are submitting. To do so, type the lpr command and its arguments on the command line using the following syntax:

Syntax (DOS) lpr -S <Printer Controller name> <options> <filenames>

Syntax (UNIX) lpr -Pprinter <options> <filenames>

Required Information -S <Printer Controller name>

-Pprinter

OSU

command to send a document to a specific DocuPrint

Sends the specified files to the Printer Controller you specify in the <Printer Controller name> option (DOS only).

The virtual printer you want to use. If your UNIX environment is set up to specify the DocuPrint printer as the default printer, you may not need to enter -P. Ask your system administrator to verify this information.

The names of the files you want to print including any filename extension.

Note:

• For DOS: If you specify a wildcard (*) as the filename on a

PC running DOS and Pathway Access 2.1/Wollongong WIN TCP/IP version 5.1 to submit print jobs, the correct sender name will not be displayed with all jobs. When you enter the list document command at the Printer Controller, the sender name is correct for the first job. All subsequent jobs list the IP address of the client as the sender name.

• For DOS: If you are running FTP TCP/IP software and

submitting a PCL job, add an -f to the lpr command line. For example, lpr -S <Printer Controller name> <options> -f <filenames>. An -f interprets the first character of each line as a standard Fortran carriage control character.

• For UNIX: If you submit two files to the DocuPrint printer

and the first file is nonexistent, the second file prints but the filename is replaced by the name of the first file.

Options In addition to the required arguments, you can use the options listed

below. You may enter multiple options separated by commas within the parentheses.

You must enter uppercase -C and -J, but the other options are not case sensitive. See your system administrator to locate the lpr command man page for more information.

If the text you enter after the print options (shown in angle brackets below) contains spaces, enclose the text with double quotation marks.

3-16 GUIDE TO SUBMITTING JOBS FROM THE CLIENT

PRINTING USING XEROX UTILITIES AND LPR UTILITIES (DOS AND UNIX)

Note: The quotation marks prevent the parentheses and any spaces from passing to UNIX as separate entities. UNIX interprets spaces as the end of a command line and acts on them if they are not enclosed in quotation marks.

-# <number of copies>

The number of copies you want to print of each file you specify.

To use any of the -C options described below, you must enclose the entire -C option in double quotation marks with everything except the recipient’s name in parentheses. For example, if you enter lpr P<Printer Controller name> -C “Jones (drilled)”, the document will be printed on drilled paper with the user id “Jones”. If you use an lpr -C option with quotes but not parentheses, whatever is specified in quotes replaces the recipient name. For example, if you enter lpr - P<Printer Controller name> -C “drilled” <filename> with the user id “Jones”, the recipient name will be “drilled” instead of “Jones.”

Note: The -C options are not available if you are using Wollongong Pathway Access or Sun PC-NFS.

-C“(1ton)”

Asserts that the document is in ascending order, regardless of the number specified for the first or last page. This is the default page ordering.

-C“(acct=<account number or text string>)”

Specifies the accounting string for the Dump Accounting command.

-C“(ascii)”

Specifies ASCII for the job.

-C“(bf=<background form>)”

Specifies the name of saved G4 form(s) created using decomposition services.

-C“(cf=<n>)”

For a single multi-page Background Form associated with a document, allows you to specify how to cycle through pages when you run out of background images before the end of a document.

The Background Form to be cycled can be specified in the same command line: -C“(bf=<formname>,cf=<n>)”.

-C“(collated)”

Specifies that copies of the job are printed collated. This is the default behavior.

-C“(copies=n)”

Specifies the number of copies of each file you want to print.

-C“(disposition=<savemaskG4 | savemaskBC | saveformG4 |

saveformBC>)”

Sets a virtual printer for decomposition services.

-C“(drilled)”

Sets the paper type to “drilled.” To use this option, the paper type at the Printer Controller must be set to “drilled” using the Set Tray command.

-C”(eh)”

Sets the ElideHeader attribute to TRUE.

Note: This option acts the same as the -h lpr switch. However, for some implementations the -C flag interferes with the -h flag, therefore a -C option is needed.

-C”(flip)”

Specifies that sheets are to be turned (flipped) over by the printer before delivering the sheets to the stacker.

-C“(font=<font>)”

Specifies the font you want to use. You can specify any of the fonts installed on the Printer Controller. This option is valid for ASCII jobs only.

-C“(format=<pdl>)”

Specifies the page description language (PDL) type of your document. Accepted values are “ps” for PostScript, “ps1” for PostScript level 1, “ps2” for PostScript level 2, “pcl,” “pcl5c,” “pcl5e,” “ascii,” or “XGF/<ini-file>” for VIPP line-mode initialization.

This option is necessary only if you want to force the system to interpret your document according to a specified PDL; for example, you may want to print a PostScript document in ASCII format.

-C“(halftone=<halftone>)”

Specifies the density of the halftone screen. Accepted values are “defaultHalftone,” “coarse,” “medium,” “fine,” or “extrafine.” The value defaultHalftone is equivalent to the absence of the Halftone attribute.

-C“(hc=<color>)” (for models 4850/4890/92C NPS only)

Specifies the highlight color. Valid options are “red,” “green,” “blue,” “cyan,” “magenta,” “cardinal,” “royalblue,” “ruby,” “violet,” or “black.” (Specifying black allows printing in gray scale.)

If you want to change the highlight color used to print your document, set the hc option to the color you want and set the hcm option to “operator.”

If you set the hc option to a color other than the color loaded at the printer and leave the default setting for hcm (“ignore”), the hc option has no effect and the document prints using the available dry ink.

See “Color mismatch” for more information on how the hcm, hc, and mc options work together.

PRINTING USING XEROX UTILITIES AND LPR UTILITIES (DOS AND UNIX)

-C“(hcm=<action>)”

Specifies the action to take when there is a mismatch between the highlight color you specify and the dry ink color loaded in the printer. The default for the hcm option is “ignore.” The optional actions are as follows:

“abort”

Requests that your job abort if the highlight color you specify is not loaded at the printer.

“ignore”

Requests that the available dry ink color be used to print your job, regardless of whether you specify that color.

“operator”

Suspends the job in an “ineligible” state while the operator loads the color dry ink you specify.

If you specify “operator,” the job prints automatically after the operator loads the correct dry ink; however, the job will not print until this task is completed. The job shows in the list of documents at the Printer Controller, with “Ineligible” listed as the job status.

-C(hcr=<option>) (for models 4850/4890/92C NPS only)

Specifies mapping a three-dimensional color application (such as RGB) to the two-dimensional color application provided with highlight color printing.

Since some information is lost in mapping, the color rendering options allow you to determine what qualities are the most important to preserve:

pictorial

Maintains the pictorial quality:

Colors with a hue matching the map color are not changed.

Colors with a hue close to the map color are rendered with color, but with a saturation level that decreases as the hue shifts away from the map color.

Colors with a hue complementary to the map color are produced in shades of gray.

presentation

Distinguishes between different colors. This attribute is a good choice for charts and diagrams because they typically use distinctly different colors. Colors that have a hue that matches the map color will not be changed. There will be discontinuities that may produce undesirable results in pictorial material.

colorToHighlight

Discards the hue information and preserves the saturation and value of the color application. Fully-saturated input colors will turn into a solid highlight color despite which map color is in effect. This is useful for documents that only use spot color for emphasis.

GUIDE TO SUBMITTING JOBS FROM THE CLIENT 3-19

PRINTING USING XEROX UTILITIES AND LPR UTILITIES (DOS AND UNIX)

colorTables

Uses preset color tables to perform the mapping and is provided for compatibility reasons. This attribute applies only to red, blue, and green.

automatic

Chooses a mapping method on an object-by-object basis; for example, it applies the pictorial mapping for pictures and the presentation mapping for other objects (filled areas, strokes, and text).

-C“(hold)”

Prevents immediate printing, until the job is released at the UI.

-C“(mc=<color>)” (for models 4850/4890/92C NPS only)

Specifies the parts of the document that convert to the available highlight color. Acceptable values are “red,” “green,” “blue,”

“brown,” “yellow,” “cyan,” and “magenta,” “cardinal,” “royalblue,” “ruby,” and “violet.”

For example, if you specify the map color as red, all the red parts of your document (including portions of composite colors such as purple, depending on the rendering algorithm) are printed in the available highlight color. The other colored parts of the document are printed in shades of gray.

Use this option only if you want the mc and hc values to differ. By default, the map color is assumed to be the same as the highlight color.

-C“(media=<mediaDef>)”

Allows you to define the following options in order:

Paper size for models 4050/4090/4850/4890/92C NPS = <“USLetter”|“USLegal” | “A4” | “nxn”> Acceptable custom paper sizes (nxn specified in millimeters) range from 8x10" (203x254mm) to 8.5x14" (216x356mm).

Paper type = <transparency | drilled | arbitrary text string excluding colon and comma>

Paper color = <arbitrary text string excluding colon and comma>

Weight = gsm (grams per square meter).

You may omit a value for any of these options by entering a colon (:) to separate the fields but leaving the field value empty. You may also specify multiple media for your document. The first value is the default used if no media selection is specified for the document.

If you indicate the paper color or weight you want but the paper tray setting on the Printer Controller omits these values, the document is printed from the tray regardless of what you specified. For example, if you define USLetter::green, but the tray setting on the Printer Controller is USLetter::white, the document is printed from the tray (regardless of the paper color loaded) even though you specified green as the paper color.

PRINTING USING XEROX UTILITIES AND LPR UTILITIES (DOS AND UNIX)

Examples Following are several examples of using the lpr command.

Note: You may enter one or more -C options. You must enclose

these options in quotation marks and parentheses, and separate them with commas and spaces.

The following example shows how to specify the paper size and color, omitting other options:

lpr -Pps1 -C“(media=a4::blue)” test.ps

The following example shows how to specify multiple media:

lpr -Pps1

-C“(media=a4::white, media=a4::blue)”test.ps

Note: The remaining examples in this section apply only to FTP software.

The following example shows the command line for printing five duplex, stapled copies of a PostScript test document “test.ps” at the printer “rushmore” on letter size paper:

lpr -S rushmore -#5

-C “(duplex, stitch, USLetter)” test.ps

Note: The following examples apply to models 4850/4890/92C NPS.

The following example shows the command line for printing one copy of a PostScript document “color.ps” containing red, blue, and green components. The dry ink color loaded at the printer is red. If you don’t set the mc option to a color other than red, only the red parts of the document are printed in red; the green and blue parts are printed in shades of gray.

lpr -S rushmore color.ps

In the following example, the map color is changed to blue; therefore, the blue parts of the “color.ps” document are printed in the available highlight color of red.

lpr -S rushmore -C“(mc=blue)” color.ps

The following example shows how to send a document with red, green, and blue components to a printer currently loaded with green dry ink. The operator is instructed to change the dry ink to blue, and since the map color is red, the red parts of the document are printed in blue.

lpr -S rushmore

-C“(mc=red, hc=blue, hcm=operator)” color.ps

4. 4Submitting print jobs using

Macintosh drivers

You can send documents to your DocuPrint printer from your Macintosh in two ways:

• From your Macintosh drivers

DocuPrint allows you to transparently send ASCII files and page description layout (PDL) files written in PostScript level 2 from your Macintosh to the printer. This capability is provided by AppleTalk, which enables you to print directly to network printers.

• From Xerox Document Submission (XDS) client software

XDS client software is intended for users of Apple Macintosh computers running System 7.0 or greater. Your Macintosh must be connected to the Ethernet network communication utility using AppleTalk through EtherTalk Phase 2.

This chapter explains how to print from your Macintosh drivers. For information on printing through the XDS software, refer to the Guide to job submission for Macintosh. This guide is part of the Xerox Production Print Services series.

For information on installation, refer to the chapter “Setting up workstations” in this document.

To print a document from a Macintosh, you must first create or set up a LaserWriter printer or an AdobePS printer, then you can submit the job. You can also monitor or control printing from your Macintosh. The following sections outline these procedures.
