Introduction
This guide describes how to print documents from the platforms
supported by this system.
The NPS/IPS printers support the processing and printing of
PDL and ASCII jobs from network workstations, as well as IPDS
jobs from an IBM host. Supported PDL formats are PostScript
levels 1 and 2, HP PCL 5e, and TIFF.
NOTE: You may be using the DocuPrint NPS/IPS software
extension on a DocuPrint 2000 EPS system. The 2000 Series
printer models are the 100, 135, 155, and 180. These printers
are comparable in capabilities to the DocuPrint NPSIPS models
96, 4635, and 180.

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.

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

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.

Printing directly
from the
application
Using a print job
submission
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

Receiving job status feedback
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
command, you must issue an
line. With some UNIX systems jobs can be submitted using
the lp command and status can be determined using the
command. Some application software packages may

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