1. DocuSP 3.6.xx
Your Document Services Platform (DocuSP) product has just been installed or upgraded. This document will familiarize you with the new features and functions available with this system.
New features
The following is a list of the features and functions now available in the DocuSP Version 3.6.xx software. For customers upgrading from an earlier version, this list details the enhancements available to you in this version of the software.
The following new features are available for all DocuTech 2000
Series and DocuPrint 2000 Series printers including:
DocuTech 6100, 6115, 6135, 6155, 6180
DocuPrint 1xx EPS
DocuTech 75, 90 and DocuPrint 75, 90
For detailed information on each of these new features, refer to the DocuSP Help system or contact your Xerox customer trainer.
The ability to forward a job from one DocuSP system to a second DocuSP system. Job Forwarding allows the Trusted User to select any job from the Job Manager and forward it to another DocuSP 3.1 or 3.6 system.
The ability to pause a job and reposition the page currently printing to either an earlier or later page. For example, a job with 2,000 unique pages may be paused at page 999 and restarted printing at page 998 or 1001. Reposition output is also known as Space Pages or Spacing.
The ability to impose images in multiple combinations on a single sheet of paper to support book printing. The Layout feature is available on the Job and Queue Properties, and provides a variety of image placement, rotation, and scaling to support a variety of imposition models.
Layout is only available for PostScript and PDF jobs.
All page-level programming in the PostScript or PDF and special pages programming is ignored during the conversion.
The Layout feature, also called imposition, requires a license to be enabled and will be available later this year. Contact your Xerox representative for more information.

DOCUSP 3.6.xx
Support for Adobe Acrobat 5.0 and PDF version 1.4, which primarily provides support for printing transparent image data. Additional information may be obtained from the Adobe PDF Reference Manual Version 3 by Adobe Systems.
Accounting enhancements:
An option is now available to allow the automatic export and purge of the accounting log when the log reaches 80% full.
Additional options have been added to allow the accounting log to be exported in an industry standard delimited database file format. The format option saves the accounting log in a fixed semi-colon format that is standard for popular database software.
The Account field name in the exported accounting log has been changed to Department to support legacy LPS systems.
Additional accounting log file formats have been added to support color versions of the DocuSP. These new formats, 5.0 and 5.1, are not applicable to the DocuTech and DocuPrint systems.
Save facility:
If the specified save path requested by the job being saved does not exist, the Save Facility software now automatically creates the path and saves the job in the new location.
Single or multiple TIFF page creation is now selectable.
Stock Management:
The Preferences tab for Stocks and Trays has been expanded with additional options to allow the stock management feature to be configured for each printer type and market, and to allow customers to configure the stock management for their workflow requirements.
View Columns allows the customer to set which paper tray options are displayed in the Printer Manager.
Allow Multiple Stocks per Paper Tray enables or disables the ability to use the “Append” feature on a tray.
Display Preferred Trays allows a preferred tray designation per a paper stock. This is especially useful for paper stocks that require a particular type of feed tray, for example using a vacuum feed tray for a carbonless stock, or feed orientation.
Allow Tray Selection by Queue enables or disables the ability for the customer to force a queue to feed

the stock from a specific tray regardless of the paper stock attributes of the stock in the tray.
Enforce Unique Names forces the customer to create new names for a new stock. Some printing environments, especially the color printers, prefer to be able to use duplicate stock names for stock grouping and characterization.
Allow Duplicate Names allows the user to create multiple stocks with the same or similar name. In the creation of the duplicate name, the customer can select to automatically generate the name extension, thus adding a !1, !2 to the duplicate stock name, or manually generate the name extension allowing the customer to determine the extension.
Unspecified stock behavior has been more clearly defined for each printer type.
Queue Manager:
The Queue Manager provides a new option to allow the customer to feed stock from a specific tray as an alternative to specifying the paper stock by stock parameters. This option performs an override to the job properties for paper stock for all job pages and administration pages.
The outQ size limit has been extended to scale with the size of the internal hard drive of the DocuSP controller. This allows for a very large outQ, which will allow processing of very large jobs.
The size of the banner page message field has been expanded.
The pages to print range has been expanded to 999,999.
The maximum total number of exception pages, covers, and inserts has been set at 1000 per job.
SNMP enhancements:
More complete SNMP support is now available, including many of the printer engine level features can now be communicated to the SNMP managers. The exact list of available features is dependent upon the match between the SNMP manager and the DocuSP functions.
The SNMP gateway now requires a license to be enabled on the DocuSP controller.
The SNMP gateway can be switched on or off by the System Administrator or Trusted User in the Gateways, SNMP setup tab. This switch allows the gateway to be disabled as necessary for security reasons.

DOCUSP 3.6.xx
The DocuSP user interface font size adjustment is now available in the DocuSP user interface under the Setup pulldown menu. In DocuSP 3.1, the font size adjustment could only be made through a UNIX command line tool.
Configuration:
The system information and configuration windows have been enhanced with additional information. For example, the General tab now includes specific details about the processor speed of the DocuSP controller, and hard disk sizes and types.
An icon will now be displayed on the main menu that indicates debug logging has been enabled or disabled for troubleshooting purposes.
The Job Status message has been updated to include a percentage complete value. The percentage complete is based on the total number of pages printed in relation to the number of pages ripped and the quantity of prints. The percentage displayed changes as the job is ripped and printed, so very large jobs may display unexpected percentages based on how much of the job has been ripped.
Improvements have been made to the Job Status Message area in Job Properties. The raw byte count is now reported in Mbytes, and the field for pages printed now reads “Sheets Delivered”.
The ability to set the Socket Gateway to receive LCDS data streams from VPS clients can now be set through the DocuSP Gateways dialog. Prior to this release, the VPS setup had to be accomplished via a UNIX command.
The Reprint Manager module has been moved from the Job Manager to a separate module, and the Reprint Manager icon now displays on the module tool bar on the left side of the user interface.
Enhanced security for DocuSP and the UNIX environment. For specific information, refer to the System Guide.
Additional tape formats are now supported by the Tape Client.
ICL 2900
Honeywell Bull

Support for 16 digit job numbers for LCDS jobs.
The ability to set the DocuSP to automatically end a current on-line job and start a new on-line job without operator intervention.
Refer to the Customer Letter for the Xerox Production Print Services software version 3.6.xx for information on new features and options available in the client drivers and Xerox Document Submission tools.
Minimum hardware requirements for DocuSP 3.6.x
The DocuSP 3.6.x platform hardware requirements vary by printer type and software options, such as LCDS, required by the customer. Refer to the specific product documentation for the platform requirements for each printer product.
