User Documentation
1. Overview
Your Document Services Platform (DocuSP) product has just
been installed or upgraded. This document will familiarize you
with the functions and new features available with this system.
The user documentation for your DocuSP-based products
consists of the following:
♦ Getting Started: the Getting Started manual is this
document, which is delivered as part of the user guide kit.
This document explains the product for new customers
and details the new features and feature changes in the
DocuSP software for current customers. It also lists the
notes and caveats for working with the DocuSP software,
and gives directions on how to access and print the user
guides.
♦ User documentation on CD ROM: The CD ROM user
guides contain the following:
• The Adobe Acrobat Reader executable for Windows,
Macintosh, and Solaris platforms. By loading the
Acrobat Reader, you can access and view the user
guides delivered in Adobe Acrobat PDF format.
Instructions for loading the Acrobat Reader software
are in Chapter 5 of this document. Procedures for
printing the user guides from the CD ROM are located
in the Printing the User Guides section, which follows
this section.
• A folder containing the DocuSP user guides. These
guides are designed to be used with the DocuSP
controller regardless of the attached printer. The
DocuSP controller user guides consist of:
o System Guide (system.pdf): Contains system
level information covering security, accounting,
backup and restore procedures.
o Getting Ready for the DocuSP Installation
(getready.pdf): Contains installation worksheets
to be filled in by the customer working with a
Xerox representative in preparation for the
DocuSP software installation. The PDF version
provided on the CD allows the DocuSP user to
print additional copies of this document as
necessary.
1
o Using the lp utilities for Solaris (using lp.pdf):
Contains the syntax and commands for using
the Unix lp print command to submit jobs to the
DocuSP controller.
o Using the lpr utilities for DOS and UNIX (using
lpr.pdf): Contains the syntax and commands for
using the command line lpr from either UNIX or
DOS to submit jobs to the DocuSP controller.
♦ Product specific folder(s): One or more product specific
folders are available on the user guide CD ROM. The
folders contain documents such as the printer Operator
Guide, Installation Planning Guides for electrical and
space requirements, plus additional documents as
necessary for the smooth operation of your printer. Access
the folder that matches the printer type you are using.
♦ DocuSP Online Help: The DocuSP software contains an
on-line Help system accessed from the various Help
buttons and pull-down menus on the DocuSP interface.
NOTE: The DocuSP Online Help has not been updated for
DocuSP 4.2. Therefore, the Online Help screens will be
labeled DocuSP 4.1 Online Help. Additional features not
documented in the Online Help are documented in the
DocuSP 4.1 to 4.2 Differences document.
In addition, a PDF version of the content of the on-line
Help is available on the DocuSP by accessing the Help
pull-down menu on the DocuSP user interface (UI). To
print on-line:
1. On the DocuSP UI, select the Help pull-down menu
and select Print Help Documentation.
2. Select a queue from the pull-down menu, and
select OK.
3. Send the documentation to a hold queue in order to
program the job properties, or send the job to a
queue with the following job properties set as
overrides:
− Sides imaged = 2-sided
− Finishing = none
− Paper stock = 8 1/2 x 11 or A4; drilled if the
document is to be placed in a binder.
4. In Job Manager, locate the job and program the job
properties. Then, release the job to print.

Chapter 5 of this document for instructions on loading the
Adobe Acrobat Reader from the User Guides CD ROM.
2. Place the User Guides CD ROM in the CD ROM driver of
the computer.
3. Open the CD ROM and any required folders. Locate the
document you wish to print.
4. Using the Adobe Acrobat Reader, you can view the
document, print the entire document, or print selected
pages of the document.
5. Select File: Print and select the printer to which the
document is to be sent for printing. You can program the job
properties at either the personal computer or at the DocuSP
controller.

All DocuSP – Based Products
General feature enhancements
2. DocuSP 4.2 New Features and Enhancements
DVD Installation
DocuSP 4.2 introduces the ability to install DocuSP software
from DVD. Previously, DocuSP required CD-ROM media for
installation. CD-ROM media will continue to be supported for
installations, specifically those systems that do not include a
DVD-ROM drive. However, by using DVD media instead of
CD media, the CSE will need to perform fewer manual steps at
install time, and will save, at minimum, the time required to
swap CDs.
NOTE: As mentioned above, DVD install media are only
available for systems that contain a DVD-ROM drive. In
addition, the DocuSP Color Supplemental Software is not
yet available on DVD.
PPML update
DocuSP now accepts PPML zipped jobs with a Xerox XPIF
ticket attached.
DocuSP version numbering
Starting with this release of DocuSP, the version number
format is changing. Previous releases were numbered
04.1x.xx. The new numbering scheme is 42.xx.xx, where the
x represents a specific build of the software. A higher number
simply means a more recent build of the software.
5
Backup/Restore enhancements
The Backup and Restore GUI’s operability is improved in
DocuSP 4.2.
♦ Configuration Backup and Restore provides the following
improvements:
• Previously used settings in the Configuration Backup
window will be saved across DocuSP restarts, and are
persistent across window closings and reopenings.
• The ability to backup/restore DocuSP license data is
provided.
• The ability to perform Configuration Restore on an
unlicensed system is allowed, which enables a system
that is unable to retrieve its license data to be restored;
then the license data can be reentered.
NOTE: This capability is not available on Nuvera
systems.
♦ System Backup and Restore: Previously, the System
Layout enhancements
DocuSP 4.2 provides the user with a new template, the Z-sort
template. In addition, the Z-sort, or ZIP-sort capability is
extended to all multiple-up options. This addition allows
multiple-up (e.g. 4-up, 6-up, 9-up, etc.) to be cut and stacked
in a predefined order to maintain postal sort order.
The output may be either single-sided or double-sided, and the
layout style numbers the pages and images appropriately so
that they retain their order when cut and stacked.
Backup default destination was displayed as the root
directory. Also, System Restore was not displayed as one
of the choices in the Backup/Restore window. With this
feature, System Backup/Restore provides the following
improvements:
• The default directory destination for backup is
/XRXbackup.
• A System Restore option is provided in the
Backup/Restore window. When selected, the System
Restore option will display a window containing
instructions for performing a System Restore.
In the specific 2-Up case, 2-Up Flip right can be programmed
by selecting “Repeated” and checking the “Flip Right” box. In a
similar fashion, the legacy 2-Up Cut and Stack option can be
programmed by selecting “Cut and Stack,” and checking the
“Cut On Binding Edge” box.

Job Manager enhancements
The DocuSP 4.2 release introduces the following
enhancements to the existing Job Manager job list:
♦ Pages processed and total pages printed are available in
the job list. This information will be updated dynamically as
values are changed.
♦ The last JDL and JDE are displayed in the job list for
LCDS jobs on systems that support LCDS.
♦ The last HJOBNO is displayed in the job list for LCDS jobs
on systems that support LCDS.
The addition of the pages processed and total pages printed to
the Job Manager are meant to assist the user in determining
the overall progress of each job. Users are now able to
ascertain the size of a job and alter scheduling according to
their needs.
The addition of the JDL/JDE and Job number to the Job
Manager on systems that support LCDS are intended to give
the user verification that the job prints with the correct
resources.
Error Page enhancements
The DocuSP 4.2 release introduces the following
enhancements to the existing Error Page feature:
♦ The user is able to view Error and warning information
from the Job Manager.
♦ The feature is only available when selecting the job
properties of a job in the Job Manager completed job list.
♦ The feature is only available for completed jobs that have
errors or warnings.
The user is able to view Error Messages on the GUI for
completed jobs with errors or warnings. When a user selects a
completed job in the Job Manager, the GUI checks to see if
there is an Error or Warning message for that job. If a
message exists, the GUI displays the Errors button. Selecting
this button displays a popup window containing the Error
message. If a job is listed as successfully completed, no Errors
button appears; if the job is listed as completed with errors,
you are able to access the Errors button.
VIPP Project Container (VPC) Filter inclusion
The VPC Filter is a job filtering mechanism that can be applied
to one or more queues on a DocuSP system. When the VPC
Filter is setup on a queue, it will process all VIPP jobs sent to
the queue via any print path gateway. Non-VPC files will be
passed through the queue unfiltered and VPC files will be
filtered – expanded, resources deployed, etc. – according to
the queue setup configuration.
