xi About this manual
Preface
The DocuColor 40 CP Color Server enables you to use your color copier as a
networked printer. You can use the DocuColor 40 CP to print final documents or to
proof jobs you will later print on an offset press. You send a print job to the
DocuColor 40 CP as you would to any other printer—you select it from the Microsoft
Windows Printers dialog box or Apple Mac OS Chooser, and then print from within
any application.
About this manual
This manual is intended for those remote users who send jobs via the network or via a
direct parallel port connection between the DocuColor 40 CP and a Windows
computer. It covers the following topics:
• Printing from a Windows computer
• Printing from a Mac OS computer
• Printing from UNIX
• Downloading files and fonts using Downloader
• Monitoring jobs and accessing information using WebTools
• Specifying and overriding job settings, examples of the printer fonts installed on the
DocuColor 40 CP, and troubleshooting information.

How the DocuColor 40 CP works
The DocuColor 40 CP receives files from computers on the network, processes (RIPs)
those files, and then sends them to the copier’s print engine for printing. Even with the
DocuColor 40 CP installed, you can still use the copier to make copies.
When printing from an application, your Windows or Mac OS computer
communicates with the DocuColor 40 CP by means of a PostScript printer driver and
a PostScript printer description file (PPD).
xiii Before you begin
About PostScript printer drivers and PPDs
A PostScript printer driver is an application that manages printing communication
between your application software and the printer. It interprets the instructions
generated by the application software, merges those instructions with printer-specific
PPD options you specify (see below), and translates all that information into
PostScript, a language the printer understands. In other wor ds, the printer driver writes
a PostScript file based on your original file and the options you set from the Print
dialog box.
A PPD file contains information about a particular device’s features and capabilities
(for example, what paper sizes and media types are supported). The PostScript printer
driver reads the information in the PPD file and presents that information to you in
the form of options you can choose from the Print dialog box. The PPD for the
DocuColor 40 CP includes information about the features of both the copier and the
DocuColor 40 CP Color Server.
For information on the PPD options for your DocuColor 40 CP, see Appendix A,
"Print Options."
Supported paper sizes and resolutions
You can print all page sizes supported by the DocuColor 40 in Contone mode at
400 dpi in Full Color or Grayscale. Note that you can print on thick paper and
transparencies only from the bypass tray. See the Xerox
Materials Usage Guide
for
complete information about the page sizes supported.
Before you begin
Before using the DocuColor 40 CP, follow these steps:
1. Confirm that the system administrator has completed Setup as described in the
Configuration Guide
2. Find out what printer defaults the administrator specified in Setup.
These default settings can affect the results of your print jobs. Check with your
administrator or operator for information on these default settings.
3. Confirm that the user software is installed correctly on your workstation, as described
in

If your site has an operator who controls all printing, you may have access to the Hold
queue only. In this case, all jobs you send are spooled to the DocuColor 40 CP and
held until the operator sends them to their next stage of processing.
You may also have access to the Print queue. If you send jobs to this queue, jobs spool
to the DocuColor 40 CP and proceed to RIP and print according to your job
settings—unless someone (you, or an operator, for example) intervenes.
Lastly, you may have access to the Direct connection, which sends jobs straight to the
server without spooling.
6. Find out whether the DocuColor 40 CP is set up to use WebTools and what your access
privileges are.
The administrator may or may not have enabled access to the server via the Internet
(or an intranet).

Chapter 1:
Printing from
Windows
Computers
This chapter describes how to print to the DocuColor 40 CP from Windows 95,
Windows 3.1x, and Windows NT 4.0 computers.
Y ou can print fr om a networked Windo ws computer, from a Windows computer using
Windows (WINS) printing, or from a Windows computer connected to the parallel
port on the DocuColor 40 CP. If you plan to print files at another location, follow the
procedures described in “Saving files to print at a remote location” on page 1-12.
Another way to print from a Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0 computer is to
download PostScript, Encapsulated PostScript (EPS), or Portable Document Format
(PDF) files using Downloader. Basic instructions are provided at the end of this
chapter; for details on using Downloader, see Chapter 4.

Printing
from UNIX
Workstations
You can print to the DocuColor 40 CP directly from UNIX. Jobs printed to the
DocuColor 40 CP are sent to the Print queue or Hold queue and can be manipulated
from Windows and Mac OS computers on the network using WebSpooler.
NOTE: If you print to the Hold queue, an operator must intervene from WebSpooler
for the job to print; jobs sent to the Hold queue are spooled to disk and held.
The queue name and DocuColor 40 CP printer name are established by your system
administrator. Contact your system administrator for the names of your queues.
For information about setting up printing from TCP/IP, see your UNIX system
documentation.
Printing to the DocuColor 40 CP
You can use UNIX commands to print PostScript files and text files to the
DocuColor 40 CP. In general, the basic print commands (lpr, lpq, lprm) can be used
to send print jobs to the DocuColor 40 CP. See your UNIX manual pages or other
documentation for information about UNIX commands.
The DocuColor 40 CP queue name referred to in the following procedures is the
name defined in the printcap file by your system administrator.
NOTE: Only PostScript or text file formats can be printed from UNIX.
TOPRINTFROM UNIX:
•On a system running SunOS 4.1.x or another BSD-based variant, use the lpr command
to send a job to the DocuColor 40 CP as follows:
lpr -P queuename -# copies filename
For example, if the Print queue of y our D ocuColor 40 CP is named Print_server, your
file is named Sample, and you want to print two copies, type:
lpr -P Print_server -# 2 Sample

•On a system running Solaris 2.x or any System V implementation of UNIX, use the lp
command to send a job to the DocuColor 40 CP as follows:
lp -d queuename -n copies filename
For example, if the Print queue of y our D ocuColor 40 CP is named Print_server, your
file is named Sample, and you want to print two copies, type:
lp -d Print_server -n 2 Sample
TODISPLAYALISTOFJOBSINTHEQUEUE:
•On a system running SunOS 4.1.x or another BSD-based variant, use the lpq command
to see printer jobs in the queue as follows:
lpq -P queuename
For example, if the Print queue of y our DocuColor 40 CP is named Print_server, type:
lpq -P Print_server
Your workstation displays the contents of the queue.
•On a system running Solaris 2 or any System V implementation o f UNIX, use the lpstat
command to see printer jobs in the queue as follows:
lpstat -o queuename
For example, if the Print queue of y our DocuColor 40 CP is named Print_server, type:
lpstat -o Print_server
Your workstation displays the contents of the queue.

TOREMOVEJOBSFROMTHEQUEUE:
NOTE: Unless you log in as the root user, you can remove only your own jobs.
•On a system running SunOS 4.1.x or another BSD-based variant, use the lprm command
to remove jobs from the queue as follows.
lprm -P queuename jobnumber
You can use the lpq command to check the job number.
For example, to remove job number 123 from the Print queue of your
DocuColor 40 CP named Print_server, type:
lprm -P Print_server 123
The lprm command reports the names of any files it removes.
•On a system running Solaris 2.x or any System V implementation of UNIX, use the
cancel command to remove jobs from the queue.

are resident on the DocuColor 40 CP, use the Font List command (see page 4-8).
You can download fonts only via the Direct connection. If you do not have access to
the Direct connection, you must embed any special fonts used by the file in the file
when you generate it.
The screen fonts that correspond to the printer fonts installed on the
DocuColor 40 CP are not automatically installed on your Windows system.
NOTE: You cannot use Downloader to download TrueType fonts. If you use TrueType
fonts in Windows, you can print them by converting them to Adobe Type 1 fonts. To
do this with the Adobe PS printer driver, click the Fonts tab and set up the Font
Substitution Table as necessary.

Printer fonts and Mac OS screen fonts
Like all PostScript fonts, the fonts included with the DocuColor 40 CP come in two
forms: printer fonts and screen fonts. The printer fonts are installed permanently on
the DocuColor 40 CP hard disk. The screen fonts, which are included with the
DocuColor 40 CP user software, should be installed on your Mac OS computer. If
you are using these fonts in documents you print on another printer , they ar e probably
already installed. If not, you will need to install them yourself. For instructions, see
Getting Started.
Occasionally, you may want to use Adobe Type 1 (Windows) or PostScript (Mac OS)
fonts that are not included with the DocuColor 40 CP. If so, you will need to install
both the screen fonts and the printer fonts on your computer. To do this, follow the
instructions from the font manufacturer.
Downloading printer fonts to the DocuColor 40 CP
In general, each time you print from within a Mac OS application, the application
automatically downloads any fonts used in your document that are not already
installed on the DocuColor 40 CP, as long as the printer fonts are installed in your
System Folder. These fonts remain in the DocuColor 40 CP only until your document
has printed. If you print the same document again, your application must download
the fonts again.
If you regularly use one or more fonts from Windows or Mac OS applications that are
not already installed in the DocuColor 40 CP, you can save time by downloading
them to the DocuColor 40 CP hard disk with Downloader. Fonts you download to
the DocuColor 40 CP hard disk remain installed until they are removed no matter
how many times the DocuColor 40 CP is turned off and on. You’ll probably want to
download fonts you use on a regular basis to the DocuColor 40 CP hard disk.
Before you download P ostScript or EPS files with Do wnloader, make sure that all fonts
included in your file are installed in the DocuColor 40 CP or embedded in your file;
otherwise the text in these fonts will not print correctly and may not print at all. For
PDF files, font substitution occurs automatically for fonts not installed on the
DocuColor 40 CP. Two multiple master fonts (a serif font and a sans serif font) stored
on the DocuColor 40 CP are used exclusively for substitution with PDF files.

Monitoring
Print Jobs
The DocuColor 40 CP WebTools include two tools that allow you to monitor print
jobs. The access privileges for these tools depend on the conditions implemented by
your site administrator.
WebTools
WebTools reside on the DocuColor 40 CP but can be accessed over the network from
a variety of platforms. The DocuColor 40 CP has a home page that lets remote users
view server functions and manipulate jobs. For an overview of WebTools and
information on how to access them, see the Job Management Guide. This chapter
describes only the Status and WebLink WebTools.
The Status WebTool does not require any special access privileges. If the administrator
has enabled Web Services in Setup and has provided you with the IP address of the
DocuColor 40 CP, you can use the Status W ebTool to monitor the status of print jobs
as they are rasterized and printed.
WebSpooler provides the capability to view and control the flow of print jobs to the
DocuColor 40 CP. If the administrator has set Administrator and Operator passwords
in Setup, you need one of these passwords to perform most WebSpooler functions. For
information on WebSpooler, see the Job Management Guide.
TOACCESS WEBTOOLS:
1. Start up your Internet browser application.
See Getting Started for information about supported platforms and browsers.
2. Enter the IP address or the DNS name of the DocuColor 40 CP.
Check with the operator or administrator for this information.
3. If a Log In dialog box appears, select Guest and click OK.
The Log In dialog box appears only if the administrator has set Administrator or
Operator passwords. Guest access is sufficient to use the Status and WebLink
WebTools as described in this chapter.

Appendix A:
Print Options
Print options give you access to the special features of the DocuColor 40 and the
DocuColor 40 CP. Print options can be specified in several places—in
DocuColor 40 CP Setup, in WebSetup, from the printing application, from
Downloader, and from WebSpooler. The table in this appendix briefly describes each
print option, gives its default setting, and provides information on any constraints or
requirements in effect.
Where to set print options
• During Setup or WebSetup
Some settings are specified during Setup by the administrator. For information on
the current default settings, check with the operator or the administrator.
• From applications
With the Adobe PostScript printer drivers (included in your user software), you can
specify and override job settings when you print a job. See Chapter 1, “Printing
from Windows Computers ” and Chapter 2, “Printing from Mac OS Computers ” for
information about specifying job settings from applications.
NOTE: The job settings you specify can be overridden by the operator from the
WebSpooler.
• From Downloader
Only a few settings—Page Range (for PDF files only), Copies, and Brightness—can
be specified when printing jobs with Downloader. To change options in
Downloader, select the job in the Files to be Downloaded (Windows) or Files to
Download (Mac OS) list and click Options. For more information, see Chapter 4,
“Downloading Files and Fonts.”
• Overrides from WebSpooler
To change job settings from WebSpooler, double-click a job to display the Override
Print Settings dialog box. For more information, see the Job Management Guide.
A-2 Print Options

Print options and override hierarchy
In the following table, the default printer driver settings (PPD defaults) are underlined.
The Printer’s Default setting indicates that a default has been specified in
DocuColor 40 CP Setup. To find out about the current Setup defaults, print the
Configuration page from the DocuColor 40 CP Control Panel.
The override hierarchy is as follows:
• A user’s printer driver settings override the DocuColor 40 CP Setup settings.
• Settings made from WebSpooler override the user’s printer driver settings.

More information about print options
The following sections provide additional information about print options. See the
table above for information on the settings, requirements, and constraints in effect for
these options.
CMYK Simulation
CMYK Simulation allows you to change the simulation goal for the current print job
only. As the job begins processing, the simulation goal selected in CMYK Simulation is
applied before printing.
NOTE: Choosing Printer’s Default results in the job being printed with the simulation
goal currently set on the DocuColor 40 CP.
A-6 Print Options
A
SWOP-Coated—Uses the United States press standard.
DIC—Uses the Japanese press standard.
Euroscale—Uses the European press standard.
Custom-1(2, 3, 4, 5)—Uses a custom simulation goal. Before selecting this setting,
you are required to create a new simulation goal with Print Calibrator and name the
simulation goal exactly as it appears in the options list.
None—Uses no simulation goal. Select this setting when the CMYK data for your job
has already been separated for your specific printer (for example, when using the Color
Management System built into your computer to convert the CMYK data to the
printer’s color space).
Match Copy—Uses no calibration or simulation goal. Select this setting when you want
to bypass DocuColor 40 CP calibration and simulation.
For more information about calibration, see the Job Management Guide.
Combine Separations
The Combine Separations option specifies whether to combine color separations
created in desktop publishing applications on a single page to simulate printing on a
press from film separations. It allows you to proof overprinting, trapping, and other
four-color printing effects before having film separations created. It also enables you to
combine Desktop Color Separations (DCS) format files to print them at full resolution
instead of printing the low-resolution master file.
Y our job must hav e been printed as color separations or DCS format when you printed
it from your application. If you did not print the job in this manner, the Combine
Separations option has no effect.
NOTE: This option is supported only for Adobe PageMaker and QuarkXPress.

Page Order
If you print a job consisting of many pages with the Page Order option set to Reverse,
the job may print in sections that have to be manually rearranged after printing. For
example, if you print a 450-page document in reverse order, the DocuColor 40 CP
might divide the job into three portions, first printing page 150 to page 1, then page
300 to page 151, and finally page 450 to page 301.
A-8 Print Options
A
Paper Source
If you choose the Auto Select setting, the copier prints from any tray containing the
paper size needed for the job. This setting also allows the copier to automatically
switch between trays, if the current tray becomes empty, while continuing to print.
Rendering Style
Use this option to select a default color rendering dictionary (CRD) to be used when
you print RGB images, objects, and text.
Photographic—Optimizes the range of colors on the DocuColor 40 CP to produce the
best results for photographic or bitmapped images.
Presentation—Optimizes the output of pure, saturated colors such as those used in
business presentations. It treats continuous tone images in the same way as the
Photographic CRD does.
Solid Color—Most useful for printing spot colors such as those found in company
logos or corporate charts and graphics. Provides the best color accuracy for images
using PANT ONE colors. This setting is recommended when the (Other) White Point
option is set to anything other than Printer’s Default.
For information on color rendering and color management, see the Color Guide.
RGB Source
This option is used to specify a source color space for RGB data.
EFIRGB—Optimal source space for printing to the DocuColor 40 CP Color Server.
This setting provides consistent output across platforms.
sRGB (PC)—Specifies the source space of a generic Windows computer monitor.
Apple Standard—Specifies the source space of a Mac OS computer monitor.
Other—Allows you to specify a custom RGB source setting using the (Other) Gamma,
(Other) Phosphors, and (Other) White Point print options.
For information on source color space and color management, see the Color Guide.
A-9 Print Options
A
Scale
The operator can specify a scaling override, but the override is applied to the scaling
value already set in the active job. F or example, if a user sends a job with a scaling value
of 50% and the operator specifies a Scale override of 200%, the job is printed at 100%
of the original document size, that is, 50% of 200%.
Sorter
Sorting is supported on color copiers with a sorter unit attached.
Off—Disables the sorter
On—Copies of a complete job are sorted and output into one of 20 bins, arranged in
page order.
Stapler
Off—Disables the stapler.
On—The job is stapled with one staple along the corner of the page edge that first exits
the copier.

Appendix C:
Troubleshooting
This appendix provides troubleshooting tips.
Maintaining optimal system performance
The DocuColor 40 CP does not require maintenance. Beyond the routine
requirements of servicing and maintaining the copier and replenishing consumables
there are a few things you can do to improve the overall performance of your system:
• Reduce unnecessary two-way communication.
If you notice that the server is frequently too busy to receive jobs, it may be because
several users are running DocuColor 40 CP utilities that are updated often. Large
numbers of remote users running Downloader or WebTools may have a significant
effect on DocuColor 40 CP performance.
• Reduce unnecessary server connections. If you use a second or third
DocuColor 40 CP Color Server on an occasional basis, performance will be
improved if you log off when you are not using it.
• Avoid printing with the server “Disk full” warning.
If you see this warning, ask the operator to use WebSpooler to delete jobs that have
been held for a long time and are not likely to be needed. Avoid this condition by
deleting old jobs on a regular basis. The date associated with a job is the original date
it was sent.
Even when the disk is full, 128KB of disk space is reserved for printing a tabloid size
job, but printing proceeds only when the oldest printed job is deleted from the
Printed queue (Print area in WebSpooler Job List window).
Troubleshooting
In case of problems, and before you call for service, check the guidelines in this section.
If you are unable to resolve the problem, make a note of the error condition and
contact your authorized service/support center.
C-2 Troubleshooting
C
This section provides some troubleshooting guidelines should a problem arise. If you
are unable to resolve a problem after referring to this section, contact your site operator
or administrator.
General printing problems
If this happens:Try this:
You cannot select or view one
of the print connections.
Printing ties up your
computer for too long.
Special paper or transparency
options are dimmed.
Message requests a paper size
that you don’t have.
You cannot print with
QuarkXPress 3.32 using the
AdobePS 8.5.1 driver on a
Mac OS computer.
• Have your system administrator enable the print connection in Setup.
• Print to a queue instead of to the Direct connection.
When you print to a queue, the job is stored on the DocuColor 40 CP until it can be
processed and printed; when you print to the Direct connection, the job cannot be sent
to the DocuColor 40 CP until the previous job is finished processing, so you must wait
longer to use your computer.
• Select a Paper Source that supports the media type you are using.
• Cancel the job and do one of the following:
If you are printing a P ostScript file, ask the administrator to set the Convert P aper S izes
setting in PS Setup
convert between US and metric paper sizes.
If you are printing a file from an application, change the page size in the Page Setup
dialog box.
• Remove the file called Balloon Help from your QuarkXPress application folder and
relaunch QuarkXPress.
to convert the job to a paper size you do have. You can do this to
C-3 Troubleshooting
C
If this happens:Try this:
DocuColor 40 CP doesn’t
respond to a Print command.
Jobs sent to the parallel port
do not print.
• Has someone disconnected the copier by selecting Suspend Printing from the Functions
menu?
If the administrator or operator has selected Suspend Printing on the DocuColor 40 CP
Control Panel to interrupt printing (so that someone can make a color copy, for
example), your print job will not resume until someone selects
Functions menu on the Control Panel.
• Did you select the DocuColor 40 CP as the current printer?
Before printing, you must select the DocuColor 40 CP as the current printer from your
Mac OS, Windows, or UNIX workstation.
• Make sure that the copier is switched on.
Someone may have turned the copier off, or the Automatic Power-Off or Power Saver
mode function may have engaged. Even with the copier off, the DocuColor 40 CP
appears in the Chooser as long as the DocuColor 40 CP itself is turned on.
• If you are printing over an IPX (Novell) network, verify through the PCONSOLE utility
that the job was sent to the Novell queue and that the queue is being used by the
DocuColor 40 CP.
• Make sure that the job does not contain a PostScript error.
Check with the operator, or use WebSpooler to check the job’s status. A job containing
a PostScript error appears in red in the WebSpooler displays.
• Review the procedures provided in Getting Started on how to prepare the
DocuColor 40 CP and your Windows 95 computer for parallel port printing.
Also see your Windows 95 documentation.
Resume Printing from the
• Ask the administrator to increase the parallel “Port Timeout in Seconds” on the
DocuColor 40 CP Control Panel.
• Ask the administrator to change the Ignore EOF Character setting on the
DocuColor 40 CP Control Panel.
If you will be printing ASCII format PostScript only, set Ignore EOF Character to No; if
you will be printing Binary format PostScript, set it to
• If you print using the DOS copy command, make sure to use the /b option when
printing binary files.

Problems with print quality
If this happens:Try this:
Print settings for your job
output do not match the
settings you gave.
You get poor printing results.
Separations do not combine
properly.
The registration or colors of
an image are not what you
expected.
• Make sure that you did not override the setting for the job in another place.
For information about options and overrides, see Appendix A "Print Options."
• Does your application require one of DocuColor 40 CP printer description files?
If you’re printing from an application such as Adobe Separator or PageMaker,
MacroMedia F reeHand, or QuarkXP ress, make sur e that the DocuColor 40 CP printer
description file is installed correctly. For information about installing these files, see
Getting Started.
• Use a different Copier Mode option.
For DocuColor 40 CP Color Server systems, the default Copier Mode setting is Text
Enhancement. Try changing the setting to Photo and see if the results improve.
• Make sure the system has been calibrated.
• Make sure that the file was initially created as separations.
• If you are printing separations or a DCS format file, set the Combine Separations print
option to On.
With Combine Separations On, all four colors will be printed on a single page; with
Combine Separations Off, four grayscale pages will print to simulate four single-color
plates.
• Ask the operator to print a test page or make a test copy with the copier.
The problem may be with the copier. If your test page or copy show that the copier is
working properly , corr ect the problem within your application software. I f the test page
or copy are wrong, your copier may need to be calibrated or adjusted in some other
way.
Your printed file appears too
dark.
Color output is incorrect.
• Adjust the Brightness option.
You can use the Brightness option when printing from an application or from
Downloader to lighten your image whenever you print a PostScript or Encapsulated
PostScript (EPS) file.
• Check with the operator or administrator about the current calibration information.
The copier may need to be recalibrated because it has been too long since it was
calibrated or because it is using a different target.
C-5 Troubleshooting
C
If this happens:Try this:
Color file prints in black and
white.
Desktop Color Separations
(DCS) format images print
incorrectly.
QuickDraw fill patterns print
as solids.
• In the Print Options dialog box, make sure that Color/Grayscale or ColorSync Color
Matching or PostScript Color Matching is selected (not Black and White).
• Make sure that the Color Mode selected for the job is CMYK and not Grayscale.
• Make sure that you selected the correct options to send separ ations in the application’ s
Print dialog box.
• Make sure that you have the file for every layer of separation that you are printing.
• Set the Combine Separations option to On.
This combines the high-resolution files for an image and prints them. With Combine
Separations Off, the low-resolution master file will print.
• Use the Adobe PostScript Printer driver (or the Apple LaserWriter 8.3 or later printer
driver).
Problems with Downloader
If this happens:Try this:
You cannot connect to the
DocuColor 40 CP from
Downloader.
You can’t print an EPS file
using Downloader.
• Make sure that the DocuColor 40 CP is not being calibrated.
If the DocuColor 40 CP is being calibrated, you cannot connect to it. This insures that
only one person is calibrating the server at any time and that print jobs do not use
unexpected calibration.
• Try printing using the “Showpage” option in the Download PostScript File dialog box.
The Showpage (after EPS files) option adds a showpage PostScript language command
at the end of the print job. Certain applications omit this necessary PostScript language
command when they generate EPS files. You’ll need to select the Append Showpage
option when printing EPS files generated by these applications.
If you continue having difficulties printing an EPS file with Downloader, try printing
the file from the application in which it was created.
You have problems
downloading a font with
Downloader.
• Make sure that the job does not contain a PostScript error.
Check with the operator, or use WebSpooler to check the job’s status. A job containing
a PostScript error appears in red in the WebSpooler display.
• Check with the administrator to make sure that the Direct connection is enabled.
The Direct connection must be used to download fonts. (Files can be downloaded via
the Print or Hold queue.)
