NPS/IPS client overview

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.

DocuPrint and DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS client overview

Document attributes

When submitting jobs to a DocuPrint or DocuColor 2060 NPS/ IPS, you need to know how the system handles jobs so that you can be sure to get the expected output.

The NPS/IPS processes jobs based on 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 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 as defined 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.

NOTE: Attributes may be called different names, depending on the source used to assign them. For example,” map color” is an NPS/IPS attribute name, but you assign this attribute using the “extraction color” command in the 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 at the printer controller or by using remote access. The amount of information available about job attributes depends on the access level.

options, set by an end

lpr

1-2 Guide to Submitting Jobs from the Client

DocuPrint and DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS client overview

Once an attribute is assigned to a job, it cannot be removed. However, in some cases, its value may be changed. For example, the operator can change the calue of the plex attribute from simplex to duplex.

Virtual printers

For detailed information on attributes, refer to the

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

NOTE: If the virtual printer has the attribute SkipJTPrescan set to “true,” then all attributees set in a a job ticket are ignored.

For detailed information on virtual printers and their management, refer to the

Guide to Managing Print Jobs

Guide to

Submitting print jobs

You can send print data directly from the application to the printer, or you can create a PDL data (pc-centric) 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.

Regardless of the job submission method, keep in mind the following regarding the job size:

• While the maximum number of sheets in a job is not limited, it

• The NPS/IPS has a file size limit of 1,999,999,000 bytes.

is strongly recommended that a large job be broken up into smaller jobs.

When attempting to submit a job larger than this limit, a message is posted to /var/log/DocuPrint stating the job could not be queued due to its size. Break up large jobs into smaller jobs.

program

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.

Print drivers for all NPS/IPS printers are included in the Xerox Production Print Services (XPPS) software. For information on XPPS drivers, refer to and

Before you complete the tasks in this chapter, do the following at your workstation:

• Verify that at least 850 KB of disk space is available on the client workstation. The Xerox Client Software package requires approximately 450 to 550 KB, and temporary files and the directory structure require another 200 to 300 KB.

• Verify the connections between the printer controller and the client workstation.

• Ensure that the networking communication package for your client platform is properly installed and running.

At the printer controller, ensure that the following tasks have been performed:

• Set the default media for the printer.

• Set the printer paper trays.

• Start printing and queueing on the printer controller.

Setting up workstations

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

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.

2-2 Guide to Submitting Jobs from the Client

Setting up workstations

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.

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

MS__DOS__PATHWAY instpat.bat

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>

9. Verify that line 1 of the \usr\xerox\NPS/IPS\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 that your path environment variable contains directories for the Xerox client .exe files and for the networking software \usr\xerox\NPS/IPS\client\bin.

11.Change the PATH statement so that the directory \usr\xerox\NPS/IPS\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 that the changes in the autoexec.bat file take effect.

Verifying your

installation

Installing the PPD file

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/IPS\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/IPS print command is being executed by typing print <Enter> at the command line. The DocuPrint command always gives a usage statement describing its syntax.

You need to install the PostScript Printer Description (PPD) file for your specific printer model. Because different software applications require the PPD file to reside in different locations, 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 printer model number; for example, XDP4890.PPD or XDP4635.PPD.

NOTE: For the DocuColor 2060 NPs/IPS, use the Xerox driver for the DocuPrint 180 NPS/IPS, and use the 2060 PPD.

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

Installing Xerox Client Software on UNIX workstations

This section describes the steps for installing the Xerox Client Software.

Xerox Client Software can be installed on the following platforms:

• SPARCstation running SunOS 4.1.X

• SPARCstation running Sun Solaris

• DECStation 5000/200 running OS ULTRIX 4.3

• HP/Apollo running HP-UX, version 10.01

• IBM RS 6000 running IBM AIX, version 4.1.

NOTE: The files inside the IBM_AIX3.2 directory are supplied as a courtesy to customers who have not yet updated their IBM AIX operating system to version 4.1 or higher. These files were compiled for DocuPrint 1.2 systems, and do not include support for many of the highlight colors and exception pages. For supported files for IBM AIX version 4.1 or higher, use the files in the directory titled IBM_AIX.

Users are encouraged to upgrade to 4.2, and retrieve from ftphome/IBM AIX 4.2, if they want to incorporate the software updates and new features.

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 NPS/IPS 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 NPS/ IPS 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 located in the /etc/hosts file.

2. If an entry containing the printer controller name and TCP/IP address does not exist, add it unless you are using an NIS or DNS name service.

3. To verify that the client workstation can communicate with the printer controller, enter one of the following utility commands at the > prompt:

•

ping <printer controller name>

•

ftp <printer controller name>

If the response to these commands is “unknown host,” go back to step 1.

4. Change directories to the user home directory.

NOTE: You can use any directory to execute the command file, but using the home directory is preferred.

6. 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> bin ftp> cd <client directory> ftp> get <command file> ftp> quit #

7. Change the mode and run the command file to perform the installation. Enter the name of the printer controller to install from, as follows:

#chmod +x <command file> #<command file> <printer controller name>

8. Verify that line 1 of the /usr/xerox/NPS/IPS/client/cconf file has the name of the printer controller. If it does not, edit line 1 to include the printer controller name (default).

9. In order to use the client commands (print, listq, and listjob) verify that your path environment contains the directory /usr/ xerox/NPS/IPS/client/bin for the client commands. This directory should precede all other directories in the path. The installation script will also copy these three commands to / usr/bin. In order to use the commands:

Guide to Submitting Jobs from the Client 2-11

Setting up workstations

• csh users should enter

on, after modifying the “Set path” command in their .cshrc file.

• Bourne shell users should modify and export the PATH

variable.

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/IPS/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 the printer is printing your job.

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/IPS print command is being executed by typing <Enter> at the command line. The DocuPrint command always gives a usage statement describing its syntax.

Installing Xerox Client Software man pages

Xerox preinstalls the Client Software man pages in the /usr/ xerox/NPS/IPS/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:

– /usr/xerox/man

– /usr/xerox/man/man1

2-12 Guide to Submitting Jobs from the Client

Setting up workstations

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

3. Edit the .cshrc file in the home directory to include the following line:

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

4. Reinitialize the shell environment by entering

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

2. Copy the contents of the /usr/xerox/NPS/IPS/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:

Setting up workstations

•

—virtual printer name. By default, when a printing system

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

•

—machine name for the printer controller (from the /etc/

hosts file, NIS, or domain name service).

—spool directory. Choose a spool directory with sufficient

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

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

to avoid truncating files being sent to the printer.

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

NOTE: To define multiple DocuPrint or DocuColor NPS/IPS 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.

Guide to Submitting Jobs from the Client 2-17

Setting up workstations

Solaris

The following example shows printcap entries for a printer named “Perfector.” 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=:

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

The following instructions are specific to the operation of Solaris lp for submission to the printer. Submission using lp on the DocuPrint controller is

supported.

NOT

NOTE: The printer controller 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

TCP/IP socket printing

You can set up your system to support TCP/IP socket printing. Once the printer controller is configured to support socket printing, you can set up your workstation. The administrator can set up three separate ports on the printer controller (for example, 9100, 9101, and 9102). Each port can be configured to submit jobs to the default printer, or to a specific virtual printer.

For more information on how to configure your printer to support TCP/IP socket printing, refer to the

Managing the System

You can use any of the following methods for print submissions to socket printing:

Color calibration for the DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS

Color calibration is essential to insuring good color quality. The purpose of calibration is to measure how the DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS is printing the requested colors and to then make any corrections that are required.

The operator calibrates the printer when color output begins to drift. One calibration procedure uses a BuildProfile option to build an International Color Consortium (ICC) profile and a Color Rendering Dictionary (CRD) file.

Following a calibration at the printer, which uses the BuildProfile option, the system constructs an ICC profile that describes the response of the printer using the current calibration. For PostScript documents, the system also produces a PostScript CRD file. The CRD file on the printer controller is used if your PostScript file does not have one included.

Setting up workstations

ICC profile

In order to allow consistency between your workstation and the printer, you can transfer the ICC profile to your workstation using an ftp utility. Refer to your workstation documentation or administrator for information on using ftp.

The ICC profiles are located in the controller directory /var/db/ colortables.

The profile filename displays as: ICC-########-#, where the first eight digits represent the date YYYYMMDD; the remaining digit is an index. For example: ICC-20010823-2.

There may be more than one ICC profile. For example, an operator may create different profiles for different paper stocks. In case of multiple ICC profiles, ask your operator or administrator about the one to use for your document.

Refer to your application document for information on using the ICC profile.

In addition to the required arguments, you can use the options listed below. You may enter multiple options separated by commas within the parentheses. Use the following syntax:

-P <printer> -C”(<options> )” <filenames>

lpr

You must enter uppercase -C and -J, but the other options are not case sensitive. Use the lpr command man page for more information.

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

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.

NOTE: 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 is 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 is“drilled” instead of “Jones.”

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

• -# <number of copies>

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

•-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 command.

• -C“(ascii)”

Specifies ASCII for the job.

• -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 that will be cycled can be specified in the same command line: -C“(bf=<formname>,cf=<n>)”.

• -C“(collated)”

• -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 printer to interpret your document according to a specified PDL; for example, you may want to print a PostScript document in ASCII format.

NOTE: The DocuColor 2060 does not support printing of color PCL jobs.

• -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.

NOTE: Screen frequencies for the halftone attribute and the default value vary depending on whether the job is black and white or color, and on the resolution (300 or 600 dpi).

• -C“(hc=<color>)” (for models 4850/4890/92C 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 does 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 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 as follows:

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.

Guide to Submitting Jobs from the Client 3-23

Printing using Xerox utilities and lpr utilities (DOS and UNIX)

– 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 are not changed. (Changing these colors would cause discontinuities that might 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 turn into a solid highlight color regardless of the map color that is in effect. This option is useful for documents that use highlight color only for emphasis.

– 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 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>:<paper type>:<paper color>:<weight>

Paper size for models 4850/4890/92C and 2060 = <“USLetter” | “USLegal” | “A4” | “nxn”>

Acceptable custom paper sizes (nxn specified in millimeters) range from 8 by 10 inches / 203 by 254 mm to 8.5 by 14 inches / 216 by 356 mm.

Paper size for 96/4635/180 NPS/IPS =<“USLetter” | “USLegal” | “USLedger” | “Tabloid” | “A3” | “A4” | “nxn”>

Acceptable custom paper sizes (nxn, specified in millimeters) range from 7 by 10 inches / 178 by 254 mm to 14.33 by 17 inches 364 by 432 mm.

– 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.

• -C“(<nostitch | nostaple>)” (for models 4050/4090/4850/4890/ 92C only)

Specifies that the document is not stapled after it is printed.

•-C“(nto1)”

4. Submitting print jobs using

Macintosh drivers

You can send documents to your DocuPrint NPS/IPS 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 8.6 or greater. Your Macintosh must be connected to the Ethernet network communication utility using AppleTalk through EtherTalk Phase 2.

Selecting a driver

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

Xerox Production Print Services series.

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

You may select the following drivers:

• LaserWriter driver, version 7.x

• LaserWriter driver, version 8.x

• AdobePS driver, version 8.5.1.

. This guide is part of the

Guide to Submitting Jobs from the Client 4-1

Submitting print jobs using Macintosh drivers

Selecting a LaserWriter driver, version 7.x

Before you perform this procedure, ask your network administrator in what EtherTalk Phase and AppleTalk zone your printer is located, if any, and the name of your DocuPrint printer or virtual printer queue.

1. From the Apple menu, click [Chooser].

2. Click the LaserWriter icon from the printer icons in the upper left box of the Chooser dialog box.

3. If your network is configured to include AppleTalk print zones, click the zone in which your DocuPrint printer is located.

NOTE: Depending on the operating system version you are using, you may or may not see the AppleTalk zones listed on the Chooser dialog. If the zones are not listed, skip this step.

4. Click the name of the DocuPrint printer or virtual printer you want to use.

5. Because you use AppleTalk to print to the DocuPrint printer, make sure the AppleTalk option is set to [Active].

6. If you want to perform operations during printing, set the Background Printing option to [On].

NOTE: Once background printing is on, it remains in effect whenever you print until it is turned off. You may notice that some operations are slower with Background Printing set to [On].

7. Close the Chooser dialog box by clicking the box in the upper left corner of the menu window.

8. If you changed your destination printer, click [OK] when you see the following message:

“You have changed your current printer. Please choose “Page Setup...” in all of the open applications.”

You are now ready to send documents to the DocuPrint printer.
