All DocuSP – Based Products
2. DocuSP 50.xx New Features and
Enhancements
Solaris 10
DocuSP 50.xx introduces the new Solaris 10 operating system
for all DocuSP controller platforms. Solaris 10 is an openstandards based operating system that is the latest state-ofthe-art offering from Sun Microsystems.
Solaris 10 offers performance, security, and compatibility
improvements to the customer’s complex networking
environments. Some existing Solaris applications have been
retired, redesigned, or replaced with more efficient and robust
applications designed to be more user friendly and compatible
with other operating systems.
Solaris Management Console
Solaris 10 has retired several popular GUI applications
commonly used by support personnel. Admintool,
commonly used to add hosts, users, printers, and other
administrative tasks has been replaced by a new more
powerful System Administration utility called Solaris
Management Console, or smc, and a separate Printer
Manager. In addition, a new GUI text editor, dtpad,
has replaced textedit. All other command line utilities
used to perform common administrative tasks are still
available.
SMC provides the following management tools:
♦ System Status tool to manage functions such as System
Information, Performance, and Processes.
♦ System Configuration tool
Add Users & Groups, Manage shared services, Storage
and Data Management.
♦ Services tool
cron jobs to perform tasks.
♦ Storage tool
share and mount points, check current disk and volume
configuration and usage.
to manage shared services such as add
to manage functions such as Configure
to manage functions such as
Getting Started Guide 5
Page 12
♦ Devices tool to view or configure devices and hardware
such as serial ports.
♦ Print Manager
add access to remote printer
to configure local and network printers,
Solaris Management Console is only available when
the Security setting is set to “None”.
Note - Although SMC may be used to manage Users &
Groups, the more appropriate place to manage user
accounts is via the DocuSP Users & Groups. It
provides a more secure and robust interface to assign
and manage the DocuSP group for each user.
Security updates
In a continuing process to provide enhanced security features
to our customers, DocuSP 50.xx contains the following new
features:
Strong passwords: Strong passwords can be enabled by
♦
the System Administrator through the Users and Groups
Management. Strong passwords must contain all of the
following:
• At least 8 characters
• One capital letter
• One number
• One special character (i.e. !, @, #, $, etc.)
♦
Login attempts: The System Administrator can also control
the number of times a login attempt is made before the
account attempting to login is disabled. The number
allowed is 1 through 6.
♦
Password expiration: password expiration can be set using
the command tool or by editing the passwd file.
♦
System logging: When the security profile is set to High or
Medium, the Solaris Basic Security Module (BSM) is also
enabled. BSM logs a set amount of information, including
login/logout activities of the DocuSP and network
login/logout.
The Strong Passwords and Login Attempts Features apply
only to users created through the DocuSP Users & Groups
interface, not those created through smc or other mechanisms
provided by Solaris 10.
Further information on DocuSP Security can be found in the
DocuSP System Guide.
Queue management
The following enhancements have been made to the queue
management functionality.
6 Getting Started Guide
Page 13
Copy queue allows the administrator to select any existing
♦
queue and make a copy of it. The Copy feature can only
be used locally on the DocuSP. However, queues can be
copied to other similar DocuSP systems by using the
Configuration Backup and Restore functionality.
The Copy queue functionality allows the customer to set
up customized queues with specific properties and
overrides, then copy the property settings to one or more
new queues. Copy queue is especially useful in color
printing environments with customized color settings.
To copy a queue using the Configuration Backup and
Restore functionality, select Backup, Configuration - from
the System pull-down menu. In the list of options select
the option to backup select queues. Save the
configuration backup file to a network location accessible
by the DocuSP controllers or to portable media. At the
destination DocuSP, Restore the Configuration file.
Restored queues are added to the current queues list
already existing on the system. Note that this process
overwrites any currently existing queues that have the
same name as the restored queues on the destination
DocuSP.
♦
Three predefined queues are now automatically created on
the system when the DocuSP software is installed. The
queues are setup for PRINT (release), HOLD, and SAVE.
The queue default settings are: HOLD Queue is set to
Release=No, SAVE and PRINT are Release=Yes. Default
Queue settings are changeable. The SAVE queue on a
color system includes defaults to save FRF formats, DRI,
and Gather. The three queues allow the system to be
immediately available for job submission and verification.
NOTE: The Xerox Nuvera C/P remains a single queue
system.
♦
An attribute report is now available as an option on both
the Job and Queue properties. The attribute report is
printed with each job and prints the queue settings and job
properties set at the time the job is printed.
• For full color products, the report includes the color
version, color selections, user TRC selections, source
and output color selections, Pantone processing, and
interpolation method.
• For highlight color products, the report includes the
highlight printing color, mapping color, mapping
algorithm, and mismatch action.
• For monochrome products, the report includes the
appropriate job and queue attributes.
Getting Started Guide 7
Page 14
Site management
Several new features have been added or enhanced to
expand the capabilities of the managing the customer’s site.
Disk usage indicator icons are now part of the DocuSP
♦
menu bar. This function allows operators and
administrators to monitor the state of any of the DocuSP
system disk partitions. The icons provide a visual
indication of disk usage, with warning and error indicators.
• A full interface is provided to show detailed disk
partition information, such as disk size, used space,
free space, usage percentage, and partition name or
path.
• Fault messages are raised depending upon the
threshold usage value. For example, 80% usage of a
disk partition raises a warning message, 95% disk
partition usage raises an error message.
• The System Disk Properties window provides an option
to remove waste files created by system crashes, for
example core files.
♦
The Retain PDL feature has been expanded.
• Jobs printed using a streaming queue can be retained.
Previously, only spooled jobs were retained.
• To control disk usage, the user has three options to
choose from: maximum percent of spool capacity, time
period for job retention, and the number of jobs
retained. These three options interact to control the
overall number of jobs that can be retained on the
system. The size, complexity, and number of jobs
printed and retained by the site may require some
experimentation on the part of the customer to select
the optimum combination of these settings for their
workflow.
• The default setting has been increased from 50 to 200
jobs when enabled. A command line tool is available
to increase the number of retained jobs to 500 if
required by the site.
Datastreams
♦
The VIPP Core software has been updated and included
with the DocuSP software. In addition, VIPP Project
Manager has also been upgraded.
♦
IPDS is now supported on the Sun AMD (x86) platform for
those products that support IPDS and the x86. In addition,
IPDS is now supported on the DocuColor 7000/8000 and
iGen3 products. The launch timeframes for IPDS on color
products are determined by the Operating Companies.
♦
DocuSP 50.xx IPDS supports single or double byte fonts.
8 Getting Started Guide
Page 15
The On-line Gateway management functionality is different
between the IPDS and LCDS options.
For IPDS the channel online gateway management
♦
software and interface is bundled with IPDS.
♦ ♦ For LCDS the online gateway is used to manage the
Online Interface. The online gateway is unique to LCDS.
Both IPDS and LCDS require the Online Interface
Hardware Option to function in the IBM Channel
environment. Only one Option is required if both require
IBM Channel connectivity.
LCDS updates
LCDS Tape Client updates
DocuSP 50.xx enables users to select and print single
or multiple LCDS reports from the DocuSP Tape Client
GUI. If multiple reports are desired, the reports must be
specified in ascending order with a position relative to
the beginning of the container.
The Tape Client GUI is modified to support Reporting.
The File Ranges panel is renamed to Tape File
Selection. Users can make selections from the
available options within this panel.
♦ Selecting All: the Tape Client GUI prints all files on the
tape as in DocuSP 4.1.
♦ Selecting Range: the Tape Client GUI prints a range of
files on the tape as in DocuSP 4.1.
♦ Selecting Reports: The Tape Client GUI prints reports
listed on the Reports Range table.
The user can specify a range of reports for printing via
the Report Range option in the Tape Client panel. The
maximum length for the report range is set to 120
characters.
Note: The Report Range table has a maximum of 100
rows. If the user wants to process more than 100
reports the job must be submitted in at least two parts.
For example, if the file contains 150 reports, the first
job would process reports 1-100 and the second job
would process reports 101-150.
LCDS Resource protection
This feature allows the operator or system
administrator to change the access mode of nonpermanent LCDS resources to be protected (read only)
or to be overwritten during the import of new resources.
The option is available on the LCDS Resource
Manager interface. Select a resource and access the
Getting Started Guide 9
Page 16
right-click menu to select Access Mode. The access
mode of each resource is displayed as:
o System for system reserved, read-only
resources. The access mode cannot be
changed.
o Read only for files that are protected from
deletion or from being overwritten by import.
The access mode can be changed.
o Write for files that can be overwritten. The
access mode can be changed.
Adobe Acrobat PDF
DocuSP 50.xx supports the Adobe Acrobat 6 feature set. An
error page is printed when a unique Acrobat 7 command is
encountered during the processing of a pdf. The job prints to
completion.
A previous pdf file size limit has been removed from this
release of DocuSP. Large pdf files, particularly large color
variable information files, typically would encounter an
intermediate file size limitation during processing. This
intermediate file size limitation has been removed.
DocuSP License
The DocuSP software now requires a new license for each
major release of the software. Only the DocuSP main license
is affected with this change. The Xerox Service
Representative obtains the license string prior to or during the
DocuSP installation.
Sun W1100z/2100z (AMD) platform
The Sun x86 (AMD) platform is being offered on additional
printer families in this release.
The DocuSP IPDS gateway is now available on the Sun x86
platform for those products that support IPDS.
Backup and Restore
The ability to backup and restore Remote Services data has
been added to the Configuration menu.
DocuSP Remote Services
DocuSP Remote Services provides the following new features:
The ability to select to transfer controller or printer data
♦
during problem reporting sessions. Printer data is not
available for transfer on the DocuColor products.
♦ DocuSP Remote Services is now bundled with the DocuSP
10 Getting Started Guide
Page 17
software and is automatically installed when DocuSP is
installed.
The on-line distribution of license files is now enabled to
♦
allow quick access to license files by the Xerox service
representative.
♦ ♦ The ability to “capture” jobs. Remote Services software is
limited to capturing spooled jobs only.
DocuSP Remote Services Capture service has a maximum
limit of 200 MB. If the capture exceeds 200 MB, Remote
Services prompts the user to enter a CD.
DocuSP Remote Services now supports the DocuColor family
of products.
In addition, DocuSP Remote Services on-line registration is
now available in some European countries.
Set recovery support
The DocuTech 61xx family of printers has supported extensive
Document Finishing Architecture (DFA) options. With this
release of DocuSP, the same options are now available for the
DocuPrint EPS and DocuTech HighLight Color products as
well.
Automatic set recovery ensures that each set of a job is
completely delivered to the finishing destination. The finisher
is monitored to ensure that any sets not delivered to the final
destination are automatically reprinted by the system.
Automatic set recovery is especially important to customers
using inline set-oriented DFA finishers with variable data, such
as LCDS or IPDS, jobs. Without this feature, customers must
reprint any damaged sets. For LCDS and IPDS jobs, this
requires resubmitting the entire job.
The new features are:
Time between sets allows the user to determine and set
♦
the time lapse between the printing and delivery of each
set to the finisher to allow time for the finisher to complete
the task. This information is typically found in the
documentation available with the finisher.
♦
Set recovery behavior allows the user to specify the
recovery behavior, sheet or set, for incomplete sets
interrupted by a finisher jam.
♦
If sheet recovery is selected, the job recovers to the first
undelivered sheet in the job. This is the default and is
normal jam recovery behavior.
♦
If set recovery is selected, the job is positioned to the
beginning of the first incomplete set and printing resumes
from there.
Getting Started Guide 11
Page 18
This feature is only intended for collated jobs and cannot be
activated for uncollated jobs. Maximum set sizes that can be
accommodated is approximately 2000 sheets. For some very
small jobs with automatic set recovery enabled, the system
may require extra time to reset the system due to a necessary
number of skipped pitches.
No Longer Supported
Token Ring and the Sun Ultra2 controller are no longer
supported.
Token Ring
Token Ring is no longer supported directly with this release of
DocuSP. A bridge box is now required for those customers
that require token ring.
Ultra 2
The Sun Ultra2 controller is no longer supported with this
release of DocuSP. The speed and technology of the Ultra2
controller is too old to support the advancements in the
DocuSP software. Please contact your Xerox representative
to discuss options for replacing the Ultra2 with more current
Sun controller hardware.
Nuvera Unique Additions
Xerox Nuvera™144 Production System
Secure FTP Scan to Network
Font Download on Queue
Dynamic Sample Print
Announcing the Xerox Nuvera 144 Production System. The
Xerox Nuvera 144 produces 144 impressions per minute for
letter-size and smaller media. It is currently the only product in
the Nuvera family that is controlled by DocuSP running on the
W1100z.
Image scan save to Network via secure FTP. This enables
scanning to network using the Secure FTP protocol. Secure
FTP is an industry standard filing protocol built on FTP that
enables encryption of the data.
Transfer CID/Doublebyte to a queue for autoload.
This allows users to send a sample print to the top tray at any
time during a print run.
12 Getting Started Guide
Page 19
Stacker Unload behavior change after and interrupt job
When an active job is interrupted with a Print Now or Proof,
the system will pause the current job and prompt the user to
remove current job from output tray. After the interrupt job
prints, the user is prompted to remove the interrupt job from
the output tray. The interrupted job will resume printing.
Basic Finishing Module improvements
Basic Finishing Module Improvements include
Automatic bin limits and improved bin recovery. This
♦
feature automatically controls the number of sheets
collected and compiled in the finisher when running
unfinished sets to optimize the set drop performance.
♦ ♦ Stack mixed size output. This feature enables stacking of
output within a single job that contains different sizes, both
in the process and cross-process dimension.
Automatic stack height limits for small sets. This feature
automatically limits the number of stacked stapled sets to
100 when set size is 15 or less. It unloads automatically
when the limit is reached.
Low Power Mode (Production System)
This enables a site to use power saver Low Power Mode on
Production System configuration.
Copier-Printer configurable tray pop-ups
This allows the customer to decide whether they want the tray
re-loading confirmation window to display or not. By default,
any time a tray is opened/closed on a CP configuration, the
confirmation window is displayed.
DFA configuration
This addition allows configuring an attached DFA device such
as a DS5000 as a stacker or a finisher via the Device Setup
dialog window. This replaces the command line utility
DFA_IsStacker used in previous versions.
Printer On/Off
The Nuvera printer now has the option to power off the printer
independent of the digital front end.
DocuTech 180/155/128 Highlight Color Unique Additions
VIPP: Black Overprint
The VIPP 5.3a software or higher is loaded in DocuSP 5.0.
This VIPP software contains a new capability to handle black
Getting Started Guide 13
Page 20
(K) over the highlight color (HLC). Overprinting K objects on
top of HLC in most VIPP jobs now results in desirable image
quality. Previously, these jobs would have “knock-out”
artifacts between the highlight and black print areas.
Monochrome RIP performance enhancement
A monochrome only RIP has been added to the HLC system
that significantly improves the RIP performance to more
closely match the RIP performance of monochrome only
printers with the same software and hardware platform. The
monochrome only RIP is activated when the Mapping
Algorithm is set to Monochrome in the Image Quality tab. This
is set on a queue basis in Queue Properties or on a job basis
in Job Properties.
DFA Finishing Set Recovery Support (41xx, HLC family)
Products such as the DocuTech 61xx family have supported
the capability for expansive document finishing architecture
(DFA) options. This release introduces the same options to
the EPS/41xx and Highlight Printer family.
Color Product Unique Additions
Advanced Settings: Color Profile Selections Consolidation (all color)
DocuColor® 240/250 Digital Color Copier/Printer
In previous release, the Input Profile and Output Profile
options were visible on at least two distinct tabs within the
DocuSP interface. In 5.0, Advanced Color profile options have
been moved to a single “Advanced” screen. The “Input Color
Setup” is available on the left side of the screen and the
“Output Color Setup” is displayed on the right side of the
screen.
Announcing the newest color printer, the Xerox DocuColor
240/250 Digital Color Copier/Printer. The DC240/250
introduces new production features to low volume markets.
The DC 240/250 contains an integrated scanner that supports
a Scan Out feature, which allows the user to scan documents
using scan job templates and store them on an image
repository through FTP. DocuSP supports this feature by
providing a job template pool and hosting a scan job image
repository.
The DC240/250 is available with a choice of 3 standalone
color servers:
Xerox FreeFlow DXP250 (new) ♦
♦ ♦ EFI Fiery EXP250
Creo Spire CX250
14 Getting Started Guide
Page 21
Tray Programming Confirmation options
♦
None. This is current legacy behavior with no automatic
Tray confirmation pop up. Trays must be programmed at
the DocuSP GUI.
♦
When Tray Settings Change. This is similar to the
current Nuvera Non-Production (office) behavior. A tray
confirmation pop up window appears when the size
changes. Even if the size stays the same, the system
assumes a re-load. NOTE: On DC250 you also get a
confirmation message if you change a tray attribute at the
printer (such as stock type, or size).
♦
After Every Tray Cycle. This is the current Nuvera office
behavior of a tray pop up any time you cycle a tray. NOTE:
On DC250 you also get a confirmation message if you
change a tray attribute at the printer (such as stock type or
size).
♦
Auto Accept Settings Changes. The DocuSP DFE
automatically accepts and confirms whatever the printer
sends. For example, if you reload a tray with a different
size, the DFE accepts the new size and the tray remains
“ready”.
If the printer sends a new stock attribute, any Settings that
the printer does not specify (for example ordered stock) is
set to their default state. This mode is useful in that the
operator does not have to program tray stocks at the
DocuSP GUI.
Xrite DTP 20 and Calibration Improvements
An enhanced spectrophotometer and adjusted calibration
process has been introduced with the DC250 product. The
DTP-20 from X-Rite enables an accurate and speedy
calibration.
This handheld unit plugs into the USB port. It allows the user
to control the speed. Therefore, the time to read calibration
strips is normally faster as compared to other X-Rite models.
The calibration / characterization process involves just a few
procedures. One must:
1. Print the target
2. Initialize the instrument
3. Measure the target
4. Download the data
DC 240/250 Calibrate Spectrophotometer
In addition to the standard feature set, the DocuSP 5.0
calibration libraries offer the ability to calibrate the instrument
via the GUI. To calibrate the instrument, the user must place
Getting Started Guide 15
Page 22
the instrument over the calibration chip, which is built into the
“Pathfinder” guide. A small black plastic cover protects the
calibration chip. Once the instrument is in the appropriate
location, make sure the USB cable is connected, select the
instrument calibration option from the GUI, and follow the
provided directions.
DC 240/250 Reset Spectrophotometer Features
For the DTP-20, this feature completely clears the instrument’s
volatile RAM, resets the microcontroller, and resets the USB
controller. This procedure essentially powers off the
instrument. To restore the instrument to a functional state,
actuate the power switch on the backside of the instrument.

Notes and Caveats
DocuSP Controller
3. DocuSP 50.xx Software Release
Information
The sections in this chapter cover known issues with the
DocuSP 50.xx software and supporting applications.
The following table details the caveats for the DocuSP 50.xx
software and indicates which, or all, printer products to which
the caveat applies.
The fix to these caveats is planned in a future release of the
DocuSP software. If you encounter one of these caveats that
impact your print production, contact your Xerox support
representative.
Caveat Applicable printer product
Use of the xrxusr account in DocuSP 50.xx
may result a number of unexpected behaviors
(e.g, error messages), if DocuSP’s security
profile is set to anything besides “none”.
When the security level is not “none”, the
xrxusr account is locked. To avoid locking the
account, you must set the security profile to
“none”. If security is desired then any use of
xrxusr is highly discouraged and the
administrator should set up a new user
account to enable remote access to the
system (e.g, for NFS, or Freeflow/Digipathinitiated ftp).
Remote Services captures spooled jobs only.

For optimal operation of the DocuSP IPDS,
follow these guidelines:
1. Do not Pause the printer to continue
RIPping a job while deferring printing.
Continue the processing and printing of
an IPDS job before attempting to print
another job.
2. Do not use Reposition Output on an IPDS
job.
3. Select 1 to N printing as a default. If N to
1 printing is necessary, set the maximum
set size for the finisher to the actual
finisher capacity, and do not direct jobs to
the finisher that are larger than the
finisher can accommodate.
IPDS crashes with a C03-308 Fatal System

Ability to Bind 128 Pages
4. Tools and Utilities
This chapter includes the various software tools and utilities used
with the DocuSP software.
A UNIX command line utility included allowing the ability to bind
more than 125 sheets of paper for the DocuTech 61xx printers
only.
Changing the Binding Limit
Perform the following steps to modify the number of pages that can
be bound from 125 to 128.
1. In the background, right-click to open the menu. Open a
terminal window.
Set Retain PDL
2. Login as root user.
3. Type: /opt/XRXnps/bin/setBind128 –f # and press
<Enter>, where # equals 1 to set the limit for bind jobs to 128
and # equals 0 to set the limit for bind jobs to 125.
4. Close the terminal window. Restart the DocuSP software.
♦
The Set Retain PDL feature on the DocuSP is limited to retain
only 200 completed jobs for future printing. Depending on the
size of retained jobs and the size of the internal hard drives; a
lower value may be more appropriate for some customers.
♦
A UNIX utility named setretainPDL has been added to the
DocuSP to allow the user to specify the number of jobs to be
retained within a range of 1 to 500.
♦
Customers who use the Set Retain PDL feature must be aware
that monitoring the disk capacity is the responsibility of the enduser. The DocuSP does not have a process for indicating when
the disk is full. Increasing the number of retained jobs should
only be done if the customer is confident that this will not fill the
controller hard drive. Approaching disk capacity can prevent job
transmission or otherwise impact system behavior.
Getting Started Guide 27
Page 34
Changing the Retain PDL Setting
Perform the following steps to modify the number of PDLs that can
be retained on the DocuSP.
1. On the DocuSP interface, select Setup and System
Preferences. Select the Job Policy tab.
2. Ensure that the setting for Retain PDL files of last 200 jobs is
set as enabled.
3. Select [OK]. Do not restart the system if you are prompted to do
so.
4. In the background, right-click to open the menu. Open a
terminal window.
5. Login as root user.
6. Type: /opt/XRXnps/bin/setretainPDL # and press <Enter>,
where # is a number between 0 and 500. A value of 0
maintains the current setting.
7. Close the terminal window. Restart the DocuSP software.
Reset the Xrite Spectrophotometer
Two options are added to the DocuSP Calibration screens. The
options should be used if the DTP spetrophotometer fails to
calibrate after standard resets (e.g., restarts).
After the reset is complete, follow the standard procedure to
calibrate the spectrophotometer.
Reset DTP: This option resets the X-Rite DTP to factory
♦
defaults. In some cases, the unit has incorrect firmware
values (e.g, unit used on another DFE). This option resets
the unit.
♦ Erase Calibrations: This option removes all calibrations
from the system and resets the tray settings to empty.

Nuvera Stacker/Finisher Script
For the Nuvera family of printers, you must use the following script
to set up Stackers and/or Finishers:
1. Open a terminal window.
2. Login as root.
3. Type cd /opt/XRXnps/bin/DFA_IsStacker.
4. Press <Enter>.
5. Type ./set –f 0 OR ./set –f 1. Use the value 0 if the
attached DFA device is a finisher, or use the value of 1 if
the attached DFA device is a stacker. Note that there are
spaces before and after the –f switch.
6. Restart DocuSP.
NOTE: This setting is lost on an upgrade or a scrape install
and must be recreated using this procedure.
LPR gateway behavior for document title
Prior to DocuSP 4.0, the controller applied the LPR gateway
filename to submitted documents as opposed to the internally set
document name. Starting with DocuSP 4.0, the controller applies
the internal document name to the job.
To set the DocuSP to the pre-4.0 behavior, run the following script:
1. Open a terminal window.
2. Login as root.
7. Type /opt/XRXnps/bin/enablePre40LPRBehavior True
8. Press <Enter>.
9. To disable the pre-4.0 LPR behavior, type
/opt/XRXnps/bin/enablePre40LPRBehavior False
10. Press <Enter>.
11. Restart DocuSP.
NOTE: A document name set in the job ticket has a higher
precedence than the LPR gateway and internal document
attributes.
