1-2 ❖ DocuPrint N24, N32, and N40 Syste m Administra tor Guide

Introduction

This guide is for use with the Xerox DocuPrint N24, N32, and N40 printers.

Because most of the printer’s features and functionality are shared by all three, this guide uses the generic name DocuPrint N40 when referring to these printers. And it refers to all features not found on the base printer as options.

This guide also identifies two different configurations for the DocuPrint N40:

• The tabletop configuration

• The console configuration (sitting on top of the

optional 2,500 Sheet Feeder).

Samples of each configuration are shown later in this chapter, however the figures throughout this guide may show either configuration when illustrating a feature or procedure.

Special Features

Connectivity

Several features have been designed into the DocuPrint N40 to enhance your printing environment. Using the printer's Control Panel menu system, you can tailor printer settings to match your printing requirements.

See Chapter 3:Using the Control Panel for more information about the Control Panel and its menu system.

The N40 includes the following physical connectivity interfaces on board:

• IEEE 1284 Bi-directional parallel

• RS232C Serial Interface with a DB9 Connector

• Ethernet (10 Mbit) Two additional interfaces are available as options.

• Ethernet (100 Mbit)

• Token Ring Installing either optional network interface disables the

on board 10 Mbit Ethernet interface. Removing either optional interface enables the on board 10 Mbit Ethernet functionality again .

1-8 ❖ DocuPrint N24, N32, and N40 Syste m Administra tor Guide

Special Features

Power Saver

High Resolution

Printing

Edge to Edge Printing

After 60 minutes of inactivity, the printer automatically turns off internal components to reduce the amount of electricity used. The printer automatically turns those parts back on when it receives a print job.

Using the printer's Control Panel menu system, you can send the printer into Power Saver mode after your choice of Off, 15, 30, 60, 90, 120 or 180 minutes of inactivity.

See the section “System Menu” (page 3-35) in Chapter 3: Using the Control Panel.

The DocuPrint N40 is set to print at 600 x 600 dpi (dots per inch). You can also print draft-quality jobs by using the System Menu to set Draft Mode to On. The printer automatically reduces the amount of toner by two-thirds (and prints a draft-quality output). Draft Mode can be selected on a per job basis from the Xerox printer drivers.

See Chapter 3: Using the Control Panel for in structio ns on changing Control Panel settings.

You can print PostScript LanguageLevel 3 (hereafter referred to as PostScript) and PCL 6 Emulatio n (hereafter referred to as PCL) jobs all the way to the edge of the page. (However, there is a 4 mm border on all edges, with all paper sizes, where print quality cannot be guaranteed.) This feature may be selected via the Control Panel for PCL jobs or via print drivers for both PCL and PostScript jobs. Note that selecting this feature will cause PCL job printing to be shifted up to the top of the page and left to the edge of the page.

Chapter 1: Getting Started ❖ 1-9

Special Features

Automatic Tray

Sequencing

Automatic Language

Sensing and

Switching

The DocuPrint N40 allows you to set automatic tray sequencing for both PCL and PostScript jobs. When a paper tray runs out of paper, the printer automatically switches to another paper tray (if anot her tray is loaded with the same size and type paper). That means you don't have to load paper as often. You can also install the optional 2,500 Sheet Feeder (with one 500 sheet tray and two 1,000 sheet trays) to extend your printing capacity.

For more information on tray switching, see the section

“Automatic Tray Switching” (page 2-20) in Chapter 2: Paper Handling.

The printer can process both PCL and PostScript jobs. When the printer's Language Sensing option is on, the DocuPrint N40 samples the incoming data stream to determine which language the print job requires. The DocuPrint N40 then switches to the proper interpreter for that job.

Language Sensing can be set individually for each port, or protocol within a port, from the Parallel Menu and from the Ethernet and Novell Menus by setting the a ppropriate PDL setting to Auto.

With the Language Sensing option on, the printer automatically samples each print job and switches to the appropriate processing language.

For more information about language sensing and switching, see Chapter 3: Using the Control Panel.

1-10 ❖ DocuPrint N24, N32, and N40 System Administrator Guide

Special Features

Automatic Font/

Macro Saving

Secure Printing

Proof Printing

When you are printing both PostScript and PCL jobs, the printer will automaticall y save downloaded fonts, macros, and the entire PostScript environment when it switches PDLs (Printer Description Language ). This saves yo u from having to download fonts, macros, and headers every time the program switches between PostScript and PCL.

The DocuPrint N40 allows users to define and control what are called “secure jobs.” When a secure job is sent to the printer, printing is delayed until the password associated with that job is entered at the printer’s Control Panel. Secure jobs are defined and enabled either via DocuPrint N40 printer drivers or via a sequence of PJL commands (see Chapter 5: Using the Hard Disk Drive / Downloading Fonts and Jobs, page 5-8, for an example). This feature requires the Hard Disk Drive option.

The DocuPrint N40 allows you to view and proofread the first set of a multiple set job before printing the remaining sets. This is called “proof printing”. When you send a proof job to the printer, only the first set is printed immediately. You can then go to the printer and proof the first set. Depending on the outcome of the proofing, you can then decide either to co ntinu e pri ntin g the rema ining sets or to delete the job by entering the Password Menu via the Printer Control Panel. Proof printing jobs are defined and enabled either via the DocuPrint N40 prin ter drivers or via a sequence of PJL commands (see “Creating Proof Jobs” page 5-10, for an example). This feature requires the Hard Disk Drive option.

Chapter 1: Getting Started ❖ 1-11

Special Features

Printer Generated

Reports

Using the printer's Control Panel, you can print seven separate reports.

• The Demo Page provides a sample of the printer's

capabilities and lists the printer's key features.

• The Configuration Sheet lists printer name, software

revision level, communication parameters settings, options installed, current option setting in the Control Panel's menu system and print counts.

• The PCL Font List shows which PCL fonts are

currently available. The list includes resident fonts, fonts stored on the hard disk and permanent fonts downloaded to system memory.

• The PostScript Font List shows which PostScript fonts

are currently available. The list includes resident fonts, fonts stored on the hard disk or downloaded to system memory.

• The Test Prin t is used by service and repair technicians

if problems occur with the printer.

• The Disk Directory lists disk statistics and the directory

of the disk file system, including fonts, forms, and macros.

• The Menu Map option in the Test Menu lets you print

a page showing the structure of the control panel menu tree.

See Chapter 3:Using the Control Panel for more information about these reports.

Special Features

Flash Memory SIMMs

Hard Disk Drive

Option

Finisher

An additional Flash SIMM of 8 MB is available. You can essentially increase the resident fonts of the printer or create resident macros by installing Flash SIMMs and downloading resources permanently to this memory. Flash Memory SIMMs are installed in the same way as RAM SIMMs and in the same slots. See Appendix C: Installing and Removing Printer Options.

An optional Hard Disk Drive is also available, and is used for storing fonts, forms and macros, enabling secure and proof job printing and automatic collation o f mul tipl e sets of a document. See Chapter 5: Using the Hard Disk Drive / Downloading Fonts and Jobs for more information about the Hard Disk Drive. See Appendix A: DocuPrint N40 Ordering Information to order more printer memory or the Hard Disk Drive.

The finisher option can be installe d only on consol e versions of the DocuPrint N40 (i.e., versions which have the 2,500 Sheet Feeder). It has three output bins with a total maximum capacity of 2,000 unstapled sheets, up to 667 unstapled sheets per bin. There is stapling capability for all three bins. Stapled output is delivered face down.

The stapler can staple sets of up to 50 sheets. It has three stapling positions (Front for portrait, Back for landscape, and Dual for booklet mode). The customer-replaceable stapling cartridge contains 5,000 staples.

The finisher documentation is provided as a separate document on your CD.

Special Features

Intelligent

Rasterizing

The DocuPrint 40 driver sends data to the printer only once, regardless of the number of copies specified. This conserves valuable network resources and allo ws users to resume their applications quickly.

Once the data reaches the N40, it analyzes the job to determine the amount of memory the rasterized data will require. If there is sufficient memory, it will perform Raster Image Processing (RIP) only once and hold the rasterized pages in memory for use in printing each successive copy.

Rasterizing is a time consuming part of the printing process. On many small group laser printers, raster processing is repeated for each successive copy. The ability of the N40’s printer intelligence to determine that particu lar jobs need to be rasterized once allows multiple sets to be produced at rated printer speeds. This enhances job performance.

Intelligent rasterizing is performed automatically by the N40.
