WARNING: FCC Regulations state that any unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void
the user’s authority to operate this equipment.
Class B Declaration of Conformity
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed
to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio fr equency energy
and if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
In order to maintain compliance with FCC regulations, shielded cables must be used with this equipment. Operation with non-approved equipment or unshielded
cables is likely to result in interference to radio and TV reception. The user is cautioned that changes and modifications made to the equipment without the
approval of manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.

xi About this manual
Preface
This manual is intended for DocuColor 40 CP Color Server™ operators or
administrators, or users with the necessary access privileges, who monitor and manage
job flow, perform color calibration, and troubleshoot problems that may arise. It
describes the functions and features of DocuColor 40 CP utilities and
DocuColor 40 CP WebTools for the purposes of print job management and color
quality control.
About this manual
This manual is organized as follows:
• Chapter 1 describes the DocuColor 40 CP Control Panel. It explains the various
messages and icons that you might see on the Control Panel and describes how to
print system information pages from the Control Panel. It also explains how to
properly start up and shut down the DocuColor 40 CP.
• Chapters 2 introduces DocuColor 40 CP WebTools, explains how to access them,
and directs you to sources of more information (in this manual or in other manuals
in the documentation set).
• Chapter 3 describes WebSpooler, which can be used to view and manage
DocuColor 40 CP job activity. In addition to providing a graphic display of the job
flow, WebSpooler allows you to reprint or hold jobs, view and override print option
settings, preview print jobs, and merge rasterized jobs.
• Chapter 4 tells you how to monitor and maintain color quality of your print output
by calibrating the DocuColor 40 CP with Print Calibrator or AutoCal (with a
desktop scanner).
• Chapter 5 describes advanced applications of Print Calibrator, such as creating
custom calibration and simulation targets to customize the color responses of the
DocuColor 40 CP.
• Appendix A lists error messages that you might see at the DocuColor 40 CP Control
Panel, WebSpooler, or the DocuColor 40, and contains some troubleshooting
information.
xii Preface
Terminology
Specific terms are explained as they are introduced. However, the following general
terms are used throughout:
•
PostScript (PS)
DocuColor 40 CP uses this language for imaging the page and for communication
with applications and with the print engine.
•
—A file consisting of PostScript commands and comments that describe the
Job
graphics, sampled images, and text that should appear on each page of a document,
and the printer options that should be used in printing, such as media or color
rendering style.
Spool
•
•
•
—Write to a disk. Usually used here to refer to a PostScript print job being
saved to the DocuColor 40 CP hard disk in preparation for processing and printing.
RIP
—Acronym for raster image processing, which changes text and graphics
commands into descriptions of each mark on a page. In common use as a noun, a
“raster image processor ” (RIP) is the computer processor that performs this function.
Print
—The process of rendering, or imaging, a page or a job on a printer.
These concepts can explain how the DocuColor 40 CP Color Server and the
DocuColor 40 work together as a powerful printing system. The D ocuColor 40 CP
PostScript RIP changes text and graphics commands in PostScript into color
specifications for each dot of toner deposited on a page by the DocuColor 40.
—A computer language designed as a page description language. The

DocuColor 40 CP job environments
The DocuColor 40 CP supports several levels of control of printing, job management,
and setup, and offers you the flexibility to choose the configuration that corresponds to
the requirements of your site. Your situation may correspond to one of the descriptions
outlined below, or you may prefer an intermediate level of control.
At one extreme, an administrator or operator in a high-volume printing environment
controls the entire job flow and all printing using WebSpooler. Print jobs arriving from
remote users are spooled to the server disk and stored until the operator decides it is
time to print them. Additional functions (calibration, job overrides, prioritizing, font
management) are reserved for the administrator or operator.
At the other extreme, anyone on the local network can control all printing and server
functions; operator intervention is not necessary. Users can print from their
workstations to any of the published print connections. Anyone can use WebSpooler
to control any print job.
The spectrum of control that an administrator can implement is described fully in the
Configuration Guide
.
xiv Preface
Permissions
Support for these job environments is achieved by a combination of DocuColor 40 CP
Setup options. By default, anyone can access Setup (both from the Control Panel and
WebSetup), but the administrator can limit access to Setup by specifying an
Administrator password for the DocuColor 40 CP (see the
Also by default, anyone can log in to WebSpooler and control job flow, but an
administrator can restrict access to these functions by specifying an Operator
password.
The three security levels from greatest to least control are:
Configuration Guide
).
•
Administrator
—confers control of Setup and is the highest level of control. The
person who has access to Setup can control the printing and job management
environment by choosing which queues are enabled, and by electing to set
passwords. The Administrator can also set a common web link for all users who log
in to the DocuColor 40 CP using their web browser.
Operator
•
—includes control of print jobs that arrive at the server and the ability to
perform calibration.
Guest
•
—allows users to view the status of active jobs and the list of stored jobs. They
cannot make changes to jobs or change their printing instructions. A password is not
needed to log in as Guest and view jobs from WebSpooler.
This manual describes the features of the DocuColor 40 CP client utilities and
WebTools, and all operator privileges, whether those privileges are available to
everyone or are exclusive to only certain people. It also includes descriptions of
administrator functions, sometimes referring you to other manuals for more
information.
xv Safety warnings
Safety warnings
The DocuColor 40 CP display window is a liquid crystal display (LCD) that is made
of glass and can break. Do not subject it to strong shocks.
If the display window breaks and the liquid crystal material leaks out, do not inhale,
ingest, or touch it. If the material gets on your skin or clothing, wash it off with soap
and water immediately.
Do not touch or put pressure on the panel. This will change the color of the panel.
Cleaning the DocuColor 40 CP
Clean the DocuColor 40 CP with a soft cloth moistened with isopropyl alcohol or
ethyl alcohol.
Never
use water or ketone as these may permanently alter the display.

The three possible levels of access to WebTools are Administrator, Operator, and
Guest. To enable maximum password protection, Administrator and Operator
passwords must be specified in Setup (see the Configuration Guide).
NOTE: An Operator password can be set only by using WebSetup.
When both an Administrator password and an Operator password have been specified,
the access levels are as follows:
