New features
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.
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:
Þ DocuTech 6100, 6115, 6135, 6155, 6180
Þ DocuPrint 1xx EPS
Þ 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.
v 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.
v 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.
v 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.
v Layout is only available for PostScript and PDF jobs.
v All page-level programming in the PostScript or PDF and
special pages programming is ignored during the
conversion.
v 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
v 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.
v Accounting enhancements:
v An option is now available to allow the automatic export
and purge of the accounting log when the log reaches
80% full.
v 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.
v The Account field name in the exported accounting log
has been changed to Department to support legacy LPS
systems.
v 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.
v Save facility:
v 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.
v Single or multiple TIFF page creation is now selectable.
v Stock Management:
v 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.
v View Columns allows the customer to set which
paper tray options are displayed in the Printer
Manager.
v Allow Multiple Stocks per Paper Tray enables or
disables the ability to use the “Append” feature on a
tray.
v 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.
v Allow Tray Selection by Queue enables or disables
the ability for the customer to force a queue to feed
1-2 XEROX DOCUMENT SERVICES PLATFORM SERIES

DOCUSP 3.6.xx
the stock from a specific tray regardless of the paper
stock attributes of the stock in the tray.
v 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.
v 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.
v Unspecified stock behavior has been more clearly
defined for each printer type.
v Queue Manager:
v 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.
v 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.
v The size of the banner page message field has been
expanded.
v The pages to print range has been expanded to 999,999.
v The maximum total number of exception pages, covers, and
inserts has been set at 1000 per job.
v SNMP enhancements:
v 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.
v The SNMP gateway now requires a license to be
enabled on the DocuSP controller.
v 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.

v 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.
v Configuration:
v 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.
v An icon will now be displayed on the main menu that
indicates debug logging has been enabled or disabled for
troubleshooting purposes.
v 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.
v 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”.
v 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.
v 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.
v Enhanced security for DocuSP and the UNIX environment.
For specific information, refer to the System Guide.
v Additional tape formats are now supported by the Tape
Client.
v ICL 2900
v Honeywell Bull
v Implementation of the LCDS workflow for the DocuTech and
DocuPrint 75/90 printers. The majority of the LCDS
workflow that has been available with the DocuPrint 1xx EPS
systems is now available on the 75/90 systems.
v Addition of the On-line Gateway interface and Groupe
Set board.
v Addition of the LCDS decomposer to process LCDS
jobs.

v Job, Queue, and Resource management features to
support LCDS jobs are the same as on the DocuPrint
1xx EPS systems.
v Off-line tape submission using the Tape Client interface.
v Certain limitations exist on the LCDS implementation
based on differences between the DocuPrint 1xx and
DocuTech/DocuPrint 75/90 printers. Refer to your
Xerox representative for more information.
v Support for 16 digit job numbers for LCDS jobs.
v The ability to set the DocuSP to automatically end a current
on-line job and start a new on-line job without operator
intervention.
v 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.
