2. DocuSP 3.74.xx new features
The following is a list of the features and functions now available in the DocuSP version 3.74.xx software.
For customers upgrading from DocuSP 3.70 or 3.73, this list details the enhancements available to you in this version of the software.
For customers upgrading from DocuSP 3.6x, refer to the next section for the features and enhancements available to you in addition to the enhancements listed below.
For detailed information on each of these new features, refer to the DocuSP Help system or contact your Xerox customer trainer.
Moving completed jobs
¨ Completed jobs may now be moved to another queue for
printing.
· While the Move option has been available for completed
jobs, in prior releases of the DocuSP software the job would fault if a Move was attempted.
· In order to move a completed job, the System
Preferences must be set to Retain the last 50 PDLs.
NOTE: A utility is now available to modify the number of PDLs that can be retained on the system within a range of 1 to 100. Refer to Section 5, Tools and utilities, for more information.
Layout (imposition)
¨ The Layout feature now enables crop marks for all
templates. Previously, crop marks were only available for the multiple-up template. Crop marks can be enabled or disabled on the DocuSP for each job.
¨ The Layout feature now provides the ability to automatically
scale the images for all of the templates.
NOTE: When creating a PostScript or PDF file, ensure that the page size selected in the driver as part of the PDL is the size of the image to be imposed. When specifying the layout, the Original Size must be set to the size of the image to be imposed.

DocuTech/DocuPrint 75/90
DocuPrint 75MX
¨ DocuSP 3.74 provides support for the new DocuPrint 75 MX
printer, which provides MICR printing capability.
MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition) is a process by which documents are printed using magnetic ink and special fonts to create machine readable information for quick document processing.
Although traditionally MICR has been used to print accounting and routing information on bank checks and other negotiable documents, the magnetic encoding lends itself to any form of document processing.
Refer to the documents available on the User Guides CDROM for further information on MICR and the DocuPrint 75 MX product.
Tab tray insert
¨ The tab tray insert is now installed in the paper trays and is
no longer being delivered as a separate kit. The function of the tab tray insert and the process to print tabs on the DocuTech/DocuPrint 75/90 has not changed.
DocuTech 61xx and DocuPrint 1xx EPS changes
¨ This release introduces several new halftone screens to
enhance the image quality of prints on the DocuTech 61xx and DocuPrint 1xx EPS printers. The halftones can be applied to PostScript and PDF jobs.
¨ The new halftones available are:
· 85+ lpi
· 106+ lpi
· 120 lpi
· 141 lpi
¨ The Sample collection in Reprint Manager contains a
sample PostScript job that demonstrates the 7 halftone options available, including the 4 new options.
¨ The 4 new halftone options are only available for PostScript
and PDF document formats at a 600 dpi resolution. Access the halftone options by selecting Printer Manager, Image Quality, PostScript/PDF.
¨ The new halftone options are optimized for a printer
darkness setting of 7 or 7.8, depending upon the printer configuration.

Dynamic composite object assembly and caching
¨ DocuSP 3.74 contains a new feature to improve the
¨ In this release, the system now looks for patterns of objects
¨ For this dynamic composite object assembly to function,

performance of variable data jobs containing cached objects. As in previous releases, the system caches individual objects explicitly identified with a VIPP job through the use of the CACHE and PRECACHE commands.
that are frequently used together and dynamically combines those objects into a new composite object that is cached for reuse.
note the following:
· The objects or images must appear in the exact same
context relative to one another on the page. If the individual objects are moved, resized, rescaled, cropped differently, or use different color transformations on subsequent pages of the job, the system is unable to build a reusable composite object.
· A substantial performance improvement is only seen
when groups of objects are used together more than twice.
· DocuSP continues to support both standard PostScript
execform caching and DocuSP optimized caching. However, the only method for accessing the DocuSP optimized caching is through the use of the VIPP CACHE and PRECACHE commands.
· The dynamic composite object assembly feature is
automatically enabled for VIPP cache users when VIPP caching is enabled on the DocuSP Queue Properties PostScript/PDF tab. VIPP caching is only available with the DocuSP color printers.
Pantone® certification for DocuColor 6060
¨ A new color version table, version 2.5, is now available for
the DocuColor 6060 only. This color version contains Pantone on coated paper.
¨ All other color tables are the same as those already
available in version 2.0. The only change is for the Pantone coated color.

Page Parallel RIP
¨ This feature applies to DocuColor iGen3 only at this time.
¨ Page Parallel RIP allows the DocuSP to decompose (RIP)
multiple jobs or multiple segments of a single job simultaneously, resulting in a large boost in RIP speed. The number of parallel RIPs available is dependent upon the number of CPUs and additional memory available in the DocuSP controller.
¨ This feature is supported for PostScript, PDF, VIPP, and
ASCII formats only, and the license must be enabled and activated.
NOTE: Jobs should be Adobe Document Structuring Convention, DSC, compliant and Page Independent. Jobs that do not meet these requirements fault with a “Parallel RIP failed” message and must be submitted to a non-parallel RIP queue.
¨ A typical site should have at least two queues: one queue
set up for Page and Job Parallel workflows, and one queue set for serial processing of jobs that cannot be divided into chunks for parallel processing and for VIPP jobs that contain embedded CACHE and PRECACHE commands.
¨ The following are some limitations on the Parallel RIP
feature:
· A queue set for Parallel RIP should also be set to
Protected on the PostScript/PDF tab.
· The use of 1-N or N-1 is dependent upon the job suite
and user preference
· Jobs using the DocuSP Layout (Imposition) feature
cannot be processed using a parallel RIP queue.
· The DocuSP Job Preview option uses the serial
processing method.
· DocuSP Job and RIP status is available but may not
accurately reflect the status due to the multiple parallel RIPs.
· VIPP jobs using CACHE and PRECACHE must be
processed using the serial queue; non-CACHE jobs may be processed using either queue.
· Parallel RIP does not support jobs with subset finishing
or page dependent setpagedevice commands.
· No mechanism is available to validate that a job is DSC
compliant and page independent. If you are unsure, submit a proof to a queue set to Parallel RIP to see if it prints properly.
· Very large standard PDF files, greater than 2 Gbytes for
example, print on a parallel RIP queue that is protected,

and fault when printed on a serial queue that is unprotected.
· The queue property tab may contain a selection for
“Read/Write for Protected Queues”. This option can be ignored.
· Ensure that the number of RIPs is equal to the
recommended value.
· A series of concatenated files are generally not DSC
complaint and may not be Page Independent.
The Page Parallel RIP feature can be found in System Preferences on the Job Processing tab. For assistance in using the feature, refer to the recommendations shown in the preferences window.
Color rendering changes for iGen3
¨ The DocuSP software uses twice as many color swatches
for digital front end color content improving the overall color accuracy for many functions, including Pantone matching.
®
color
¨ Improvements in the calibration to allow for more accurate
color version options. In this release, the calibration aim is now set as the iGen3 native neutral point. The result is less variability in calibrations and improvements in neutral outcomes for iGen3. In addition, fewer profiles are needed.
¨ The default copy count for the number of targets to be
printed during a calibration is now 40. Note that the DocuSP help still indicates the copy count default is 20.
¨ A custom User TRC is added to contain the curves required
to adjust the DocuSP 3.74 color response to match earlier DocuSP 3.7 color responses.
¨ Gray component replacement is now applied based on the
rendering intent for CMYK workflows by introducing light, medium, and heavy GCR.
· Heavy GCR provides an excellent rich black for CMYK
emulation workflows and a smoother high GCR.
· Medium GCR is now a separate function. In the
previous release, the default and medium GCR were the same.
· A low GCR is now available for images which require a
smooth rendering, such as for skin tones. This GCR offers limited K in the CMYK 4-to-4 emulation.
¨ Improvements in the RGB workflow:
· A standard GCR, versus a maximum gamut GCR used
in previous releases. The standard GCR provides improved contone images.

Sun Blade 2500
· Improved rendering of shades from 0% to 70% allowing
highlight text to be visible.
· Modified hue angles better match recent adjustments to
the iGen3 print engine.
Spectrophotometer Software Reset Tool
This release now contains a UNIX script that will perform a Software Reset on the DTP 41 Spectrophotometer by Xrite. This script allows direct resetting of the spectrophotometer at the DocuSP controller. Previously, the spectrophotometer had to be disconnected from the DocuSP controller and connected to a PC in order to run the reset software. Refer to Section 5 for details on using the reset tool.
A new DocuSP controller platform, the Sun Blade 2500, is being provided with the following new printer installations:
· DocuTech 61xx
· DocuPrint 1xx EPS
· DocuColor 2045/2060/5252/6060

3. DocuSP 3.70/3.73 new features
The following is a list of the features and functions available in the DocuSP Version 3.70 and 3.73 software. For customers upgrading from an earlier version, this list details the enhancements available to you in this version of the software.
For detailed information on each of these new features, refer to the DocuSP Help system or contact your Xerox customer trainer.
Security
¨ With DocuSP 3.7, the System Administrator can adjust the
system security in the Security Setup window. Previously a Xerox representative performed this change. Default setup upon installation is a security setting of High. Refer to the System Guide for details on the security settings and what each means.
A change in the security setting requires a complete Shutdown and reboot of the DocuSP controller.
A security setting of High disables connectivity to the DocuSP controller using ftp and telnet. Some client applications, such as DigiPath, may not be able to communicate with the DocuSP controller with a security setting of High. Set the Security setting to Medium to allow DigiPath and other client applications to communicate correctly with the DocuSP controller.
The scripts for enabling or disabling portions of the security are still available. Refer to the System Guide for details on the scripts.
¨ The HTTP gateway is loaded and running by default. The
HTTP gateway allows users with Internet access to the controller to submit jobs by opening a standard web browser and entering the IP address of the DocuSP controller. Setting the security to high does not restrict this client. Disabling the license does not prevent this service from running. Customers who do not wish to allow this kind of access should remove the XRXhttp package by following the steps below.
1. Open a terminal window and login as root user.
2. Type pkgrm XRXhttp and press <Enter>.
3. Answer y to the prompts.
4. Shutdown and reboot the DocuSP controller.
XEROX DOCUMENT SERVICES PLATFORM SERIES 3-1
GETTING STARTED
DOCUSP 3.74
NOTE: Once a script is run, the setting is permanent until the disabling script is run or the Security setting in the DocuSP UI is toggled from Medium to High. For example, the security is set to High, but the enable-ftp script is run. FTP is not enabled until the disable-ftp script is run, or until the security setting is toggled to medium and then back to high. The DocuSP controller needs to be rebooted after the toggle from high to medium to high is complete.
Job Forwarding
¨ The Job Forwarding feature now allows the ability to include
or exclude the Xerox Job Ticket when the job is forwarded to another printer. The benefit of this option is to allow control over which job attributes are maintained between the originating printer and the destination printer. This option was part of the DocuSP 3.61.19 release.
· Examples of when to include the job ticket would be
when forwarding to a DocuSP-based printer at software level 3.x or higher and the job has been programmed with a Xerox Job Ticket or the job has been programmed with special programming instructions such as exception pages or color attributes.
· Examples of when to exclude the job ticket would be:
o when forwarding to a non-DocuSP based printer that
does not comprehend the XPIF job ticket format.
o the job contains PDL programming information such
as through setpagedevice commands within PostScript or tray calls within PCL.
o when jobs include subset finishing.
o when forwarding a job to a printer with a DocuSP
version of 2.x or earlier that does not comprehend the XPIF job ticket format.
¨ The Job Forwarding interface now includes an accelerator
pull-down for a list of destination printers. This accelerator allows the operator to add multiple printers to the interface for quicker job forwarding.
¨ Jobs with a status of Completed can now be forwarded. In
order for completed jobs to be forwarded, the System Preference for Retain PDL must be set to retain the last 50 jobs.
¨ The operator can now select a range of jobs to be
forwarded, rather than having to select each job separately.
¨ A detailed status is provided on the Job Forwarding screen
for jobs that have been forwarded. The status is retained in the screen until a DocuSP restart.

GETTING STARTED
DOCUSP 3.74
¨ Jobs may be forwarded to non-DocuSP based printers as
long as the non-DocuSP printer can be accessed from the DocuSP and entered into the Job Forwarding window.
Layout (Imposition)
¨ Overall layout and functionality of the Layout feature has
been improved. The most common multiple up options have been added as standard templates with automatic scaling, and do not require manual entry of a scaling percentage.
¨ The imposition templates have been simplified. Customers
should proof imposition jobs with the new layouts prior to production.
¨ A new imposition template is available that streamlines
multiple up postcard printing. The template provides easier printing of a single sheet, 2-sided postcard layout. This template was introduced in DocuSP 3.61.16 as the custom template.
¨ The Layout feature now has the ability to turn the crop or cut
marks on or off. The default setting is for the crop marks to be off.
¨ The Layout feature now has the ability to make small image
shifts that account for the paper thickness in Signature booklets. The Signature Shift feature provides a small creep outward as the paper stack expands. The Signature Shift is a checkbox and is either on or off. The default setting is for Signature Shift to be off.
Job Preview (PostScript and PDF jobs)
¨ The ability to preview any PostScript or PDF job is available
with this release as a licensable feature. The operator may select a job and preview a 72 dpi image of a job or page.
¨ Preview is available in Job Manager on PostScript and PDF
jobs with nearly every status, provided the job is fully spooled on the DocuSP controller. Completed jobs may also be previewed as long as the system is set to Retain the last 50 jobs.
¨ Operators can also preview saved PostScript and PDF jobs
using Reprint Manager and using the DocuSP Remote Workflow software. However, jobs previewed using Remote Workflow are displayed very slowly due to image transfer and processing. For best results, preview jobs that contain all elements of the job, such as images and forms, within the PDL.
¨ The page size is displayed in the lower left corner and can
be used to assist in job setup.
XEROX DOCUMENT SERVICES PLATFORM SERIES 3-3 GETTING STARTED
DOCUSP 3.74
¨ The size can be scaled to 10 percent and moved to a place
outside the main DocuSP UI for easy job identification but limited screen coverage.
¨ DigiPath, VIPP, and OPI jobs cannot be previewed in this
release. Jobs with PostScript errors also cannot be previewed. If a PostScript job is not viewable, print the job and refer to the PostScript error page to determine the problem with the job.
Reprint Manager CD ROM Access
¨ Reprint Manager now has a pull-down menu to allow the
operator to view the CD ROM drive. Previously, accessing the CD ROM required manually entering the path.
Stock Management
¨ All predefined stocks are on the Hidden stock list as a
default on installation of the DocuSP software. The System Administrator has access to the Hidden stock list and may select any of the predefined stocks to be placed on the viewable list for the Walk Up and Trusted User access levels.
¨ Previously, when performing stock programming in Queue
Manager or Job Manager and the paper tray that contains the desired stock is selected, only the Stock Name would be identified as an Override. The system now assigns all of the stock attributes as Overrides.
¨ Xerox Qualified Media is now in the Stock Catalog. In order
to make the Xerox Qualified Media available in the Stock Library, add the stock using the Add Stock to Library selection.

PCL6 and PCLXL
¨ PCL6 is the next generation of the Hewlett-Packard LaserJet
PCL language. PCL XL is a new page description language by Hewlett-Packard that is part of PCL6. PCL XL is designed to optimally match the graphics printing requirements for GUI-based applications, reducing the number of commands required to describe a graphics page.
¨ The output from an enhanced PCL XL driver may not be the
same as the output from a standard PCL6 driver. If the output is not as expected, the recommended solution is to print using a PCL5e driver instead.
¨ DocuSP 3.7 supports printing PCL XL class 2.1 for color and
PCL XL class 2.0 for the black and white printing products.
¨ XPPS 3.7 does not provide a PCL XL (PCL6) Xerox custom
printer driver. In order to take advantage of the PCL XL features, a native HP PCL XL driver will have to be used. Ensure the driver chosen supports the same class of PCL as the DocuSP.
¨ Even with an HP PCL XL driver that supports the same class
of PCL as the DocuSP, some minor compatibility issues may be seen due to commands within the PCL that are not supported on the DocuSP controller. Contact your Xerox customer support representative for assistance if necessary.
¨ Native HP PCL drivers do not support all of the features of
the DocuSP-based printer. Any printer specific features can be programmed at the DocuSP controller after the job has been submitted.
¨ DocuSP 3.7 still supports printing PCL 5e and the Xerox
custom PCL 5e drivers are still available for use.
Note: At this time, there are known problems with PCL XL on the DocuSP controller. Xerox encourages you to evaluate job printing and integrity using PCL XL. Any and all feedback is welcome and appreciated.

PCL Features and Additions
¨ Operators may now save PCL resources on a job-by-job
basis, allowing for more routine saves. Previously, the save resource function only occurred when the DocuSP controller was shutdown.
¨ Operators may define the custom stock size for PCL custom
jobs in the job properties. This option introduces the ability to define any size image for decomposition.
¨ A new check box allows the operator the ability to
automatically center custom sized stock in a manner similar to the HP product line. When this feature is disabled, the image is oriented to the side of the paper. This feature provides HP 8100 bypass tray compatibility.
¨ The default line termination settings for PCL jobs can now
be set on the DocuSP UI. Previously, the line termination settings had to be changed using a UNIX script.
· Line termination settings should not be used in a mixed
PCL and ASCII environment, because PCL data streams can include other line termination escape sequences which could change the line termination sequence without the operator’s knowledge.
¨ DocuSP 3.7 now supports HP’s PJL. Key features are
enabled for PJL data streams and include:
· PJL Set Duplex = Off, On
· PJL Set Paper = Executive, Letter, A4, Legal, A3,
Ledger, Monarch, DL, C5, COM10, A5, Eurolegal, 14x17, B5, JISB4, JISB5, Hagaki, Ohagaki, ISOB4, and Custom
· PJL Enter Language = PCL and PCL XL
· PJL Set Binding = Longedge, Shortedge
¨ The operator may set the system to ignore PJL commands.
This emulates the behavior of prior releases.
Auto Center TIFF for printing
¨ Operators now have a new System Preference to
automatically center a native TIFF file on a page. The default setting is uncentered.
¨ This feature does not impact TIFF images wrapped in
PostScript such as DigiPath, GetTiff, or TIFF images fully embedded in PostScript files.

DocuColor 2045/2060, DocuColor 6060, and DocuColor iGen3 specific changes
DocuSP Color Versions
¨ Three versions for color rendering are now available. At
installation, the customer has the option to add version 1.0,
1.1, or 2.0. Each of these options includes the full content of the previous version.
¨ Refer to the supplied kits for your version number for details
on the color differences between each version. See your Xerox representative to determine which color version meets your color needs.
Note that the DocuColor IiGen3 only supports version 1.0 and 2.0.
Tone Reproduction Curve Improvements
¨ The Tone Reproduction Curve (TRC) operability is now
similar to traditional image edit programs, such as Adobe Photoshop®.
¨ New convenience features include more control points and
print TRC functions.
¨ Operators can now choose Percent in addition to Digital
Count.
¨ There are now type-in fields for curve control.
¨ Control points can be manually added in the type-in field,
edited, or deleted.
¨ Revert buttons are now available. Operators may also print
out the TRC representation for future use. The print function allows the operator to print one or all of the separations to any available queue. The printed output shows a graph and all specific control points for C, M, Y, and K.
¨ Operators may now copy a channel C, M, Y, K to a second
channel or to copy all channels.
Spot Color Editor
¨ The DocuSP 3.7 software release introduces a Spot Color
Editor. Operators may now add a custom spot color, edit a current spot color, edit the C, M, Y, and K values independently, and find a spot color.
¨ When adjusting color values, operators may proof print
samples of the original and new spot colors.
¨ The DocuSP system contains a full Pantone
table within Reprint Manager that can be printed for reference.

RGB Profile Changes
¨ The Source Color list for RGB color spaces now includes
Adobe RGB instead of SMPTE-240M RGB color space and can be found in Version 2.0 Color for the DocuSP 3.7 software release.
Calibration Additions
¨ The user has the ability to print multiple copies of the
calibration target.
¨ The calibration targets have been widened for better
accuracy and now print on two pages.
Halftone Calibration
¨ In order to achieve better halftone results, profiles for a color
group now have associated halftone and do not require operator intervention.
Load Destination Profiles as Source Profiles
¨ Operators may now load an output profile as a source
profile.
Image Quality
¨ DocuSP now allows operators to trap text objects that
overlay vector graphics and bitmaps.
212 Dot Outline (iGen3 only)
¨ For text items and the 212 dot, outlining is added by the
Contone Rendering Module (CRM), resulting in sharper text for 212 dot imaging.
External finishing (DFA) support added for iGen3
¨ When this feature is enabled, the Finishing tab in Printer
Manager makes the external finisher available for selection.
¨ The Output Location attribute in Job Manager and Queue
Manager contains a selection for an available Bypass Transport to allow finishing jobs using the external finisher.

LCDS
User Control of Resources
¨ In this release, LCDS resources are not displayed until the
operator selects the Display button.
¨ Previously, selecting the LCDS Resource Manager tab in
Administration caused all LCDS resources to display. This was time consuming, especially for customers with tens of thousands of resources.
JDL staple support for DocuPrint 75/90
¨ The LCDS STAPLE command is now available for use with
the DP 75/90. The system does not require override settings to be set in the Queue properties for stapling to work.
¨ The STAPLE command must be invoked before the start of
the job or on the first record of data in the job. Otherwise, the DP 75/90 will ignore the STAPLE switch if a JDE/JDL switch is made in the middle of the job.
¨ Jobs can be offset and stapled simultaneously.
¨ Jobs requiring N to 1 or Face Up and STAPLE=YES are
forced to print 1 to N and Face Down due to a restriction on the stapling feature on the DP 75/90.
¨ Jobs that contain over 50 pages will not be stapled, and the
default setting is to fault the job. To change the setting to print the job unfinished in the System Preferences Job Policy tab:
· Select Print Job Unfinished under the Overlimit Finishing
section.
· Select Check Set-Size Before Printing under the
Overlimit Finishing section.

Copy Sensitive CME support
¨ Copy sensitive CMEs will be honored. The LCDS PDL allows
individual copies of a report to contain changes from the original report by the use of copy sensitive form, RTEXT, and CMEs. Copy sensitive CMEs allow certain parts of the report to be modified on selected copies with new or replacement static text or with the specification of font or ink changes within the variable data.
· On the LPS printers, this was accomplished by
performing multiple passes over the data. Therefore, only offline tape jobs could contain copy sensitive CME’s.
· On EPS printers, copy sensitive CMEs are supported
with spooling queues only. The job may originate from Online, Tape, or the Socket gateway. However, if the job is extremely large, the spool may become full. The spool is limited by the available hard disk space. The entire job must be spooled to disk before the decomposer can begin ripping.
Auto End changes and moves
¨ In previous versions, the operator needed to press “Start” to
start an online job and press “End” to finish the job. The operator needed to be present to press “End” so that network jobs could be scheduled and printed.
¨ The AutoEnd feature allows:
· Online jobs to automatically end and start based on a
timer set in the Online Gateway configuration.
· Online jobs automatically end and start based on the
receipt of the channel command 0x6b (raise cover) in the datastream.
¨ Now the AutoEnd feature invokes the “End” for the current
job and starts a new job without operator intervention.
¨ The System Administrator enables AutoEnd. By default, the
AutoEnd feature is disabled.
¨ AutoEnd is supported in both streaming and spooling
modes.
¨ AutoEnd and AutoDrain with a timer cannot be set at the
same time.

Save Job Setup upon exit
¨ A popup message prompting the operator to save the
current job setup will no longer display when an operator exits online manager.
¨ To save a job setup to a file, the operator will have to select
the Save or Save As button in the online manager window.
Image Shift support
¨ Image shift is supported for LCDS jobs on the DocuPrint
75/90 and on DP 1XX EPS printers.
¨ Image shift changes must be applied before the job is sent.
Any changes made while a job is printing are not honored until the next job.
¨ If the operator shifts the image too far in a negative direction,
the image may be cropped.
Stock management
¨ The Aux, Main, and Auto stock definitions are available in
the Stock Library and cannot be deleted from the system.

4. DocuSP 3.74 software release information
The following information supports the DocuSP 3.74 software. Please read the information thoroughly before using the system.
The following sections cover known issues with the DocuSP 3.74 software and supporting applications.
The following table details the notes and caveats for the DocuSP
3.74 software and indicates which printer products, or all, to
which the caveat is applicable.
These caveats are planned to be fixed in a future release of the DocuSP software. If you encounter one of these caveats that impacts your print production, contact your Xerox support representative.
Caveat Applicable printer product
Using a streaming queue is not recommended. Jobs hang with a status of “Waiting for RIP”. SWOP source selection renders SWOP neutrals between 1% and 8% to Cyan.
PCL5c jobs using trapping, black overprint, or anti-aliasing fault with a C03-308 if the job is held in Job manager. Ensure VI job resource names are unique when using a workflow where cached variable objects are allowed to persist beyond the current job. When Retain Cached Objects is selected, ensure that the attribute override is also selected. Individual TIFF images of a saved job print with less color saturation than the full job. Source color is saved as part of the job ticket and may not be referenced when individual TIFF images are printed. Set the Source Color for CMYK Images to the device CMYK in order to print the images with the correct color saturation.

Anti-aliasing may cause width changes and color shifts for certain lines.
A saved FRF job with saved DRI that is edited in Reprint Manager faults with the following error message: “Processing error – This job cannot be printed because the Job Data File or the Pathname does not exist”. Do not edit an FRF job with DRI. An FRF saved job displays incorrectly in the viewer, but prints correctly.
Trapping settings do not stay changed when the changes are applied on a queue.
The SWOP emulation output options are not working for selected output emulations. For example, incoming data created as SWOP CMYK prints correctly but native CMYK cannot be output as SWOP CMYK. After completing a calibration, the calibration must be applied to a stock group.
Do not add an ICC profile while a large job is printing.

When a TRC is deleted, any queues using the TRC are set to a TRC of None and Override is set. If a TRC is deleted, ensure that the queues using the TRC are set to a new TRC and the jobs using the queue print correctly. The LCDS Sizing feature is not honored correctly on the DocuSP.
A paper jam message is not cleared when the jam is cleared from the printer and the DocuSP is restarted. After clearing the jam, open and close both paper trays 1 and 2. This should cause the jam message to reset. When using the Socket Gateway to submit LCDS jobs, the jobs may contain missing pages or data, extra pages or data, the job may abort, or a C03-308 error may occur. If a custom paper size is programmed in the Queue Manager to be Short Edge feed, LCDS jobs raise a message “Edge marking values are out of range”. If necessary, program the custom paper size as a Long Edge Feed.
The Reposition Output display only shows the end of the job and does not show the end of the set.

If the RIP is paused while jobs are being ripped and the Job Properties window is closed, the Pages Ripped and Bytes Ripped values are cleared from the display. Restarting the RIP causes the Pages and Bytes Ripped display to resume correctly.
A “Write Error” message is displayed if Eject/Unload is selected in Peripheral Manager for a tape device that does not contain a tape.
Reposition output does not work for uncollated jobs.
A large number (e.g. 100+) of jobs submitted with the printer paused causes the printer to cycle down intermittently after the printer resumes printing. Single page printing performance is very slow. Do not submit a large number of single page jobs while the printer is paused.
When setting the attributes for stocks on the DP 75/90 for an LCDS job, only one unique attribute should be set per stock. For instance, if a stock requires Legal size paper, do not change the TYPE, DRILLED, WEIGHT, or COLOR attribute for this stock from the default values. This may cause the DP 75/90 print engine to not print the job because the stock attributes do not match.

During a Print Now or Proof, a message to “Remove Sheets from the Top Tray” may be displayed when there is no need to remove sheets. Always clear the message before performing any other operation.
When a job is printing to the top tray and is interrupted by a print now or proof job, the interrupted job stops (as it should) and an error message reads, "remove sheets from top tray". Whether the sheets are removed or not, the message stays until "reset" is selected in the fault frame.
External finishing cannot be selected at the client using the IPP or HTTP gateways. Submit the job to the printer without any finishing, and select the external finisher at the DocuSP.

The DocuSP software cannot read any LPS formatted floppy disk on the Sun Blade 2500 external USB floppy drive. Use a QIC tape or DOS formatted floppy to import LCDS resources to the system. A large job that requires partitioning on a system set for user intervention hangs when the user responds to the intervention message to print 1 copy. For multi-copy jobs, if an OTEXT command is specified on a copy pass for a page that doesn't print (no data on the page), then the OTEXT message will not be displayed and the WAIT parameter will be ignored.
The system is unable to resume printing when late binding attributes and page spacing options are used.

Jobs with extreme Alignment shifts will fault. For example:
- Dots with extreme positive values
- Scan lines with extreme positive or
negative values As a work around, use a shift magnitude slightly less (>0.01 inches) than the extreme value. NOTE: Dots with extreme negative values will not fault. A job submitted through the lpr gateway with image shifts on exception pages uses values from the job level image shift instead. Program the image shift values for the exception pages in Job Properties.
Processing performance on a 600x600 dpi queue is considerably less than performance on a 300x300 dpi queue. Not selecting the “fit to page” selection in the driver increases the performance. If multiple users are submitting requests to the IPP Gateway, the requests are managed one at time at the DocuSP controller. If a user is sending a large job through XDS Plus then all other users who try to connect, use, or submit a job will not be able to do anything until that job is submitted, and XDS Plus will appear to hang.

4. Close the Terminal window. Restart the DocuSP software
The retain PDL feature on the DocuSP is limited to only retain 50 completed jobs for future printing. Depending on the size of retained jobs and the size of the internal hard drives, a lower value may be more appropriate for some customers.
A UNIX utility named setretainPDL has been added to the DocuSP to allow the user to specify the number of jobs to be retained within a range of 1 to 100.
Customers who use the retain PDL feature must be aware that monitoring the disk capacity is the responsibility of the end-user. The DocuSP does not have a process for indicating when the disk is full. Increasing the number of retained jobs should only be done if the customer is confident that this will not fill the controller hard drive. Approaching disk capacity can prevent job transmission or otherwise impact system behavior.
Perform the following steps to modify the number of PDLs that can be retained on the DocuSP.

Required levels of expertise
The DSPERU tool was designed to be easy to use. However, some assumptions have been made regarding the level of knowledge required to perform various setup, backup, and recovery tasks.
Setting up the tool for use on a system and performing a recovery requires some level of comfort with entering UNIX commands. The commands are not complex, but if you have no UNIX experience, you may require assistance initially.
To initiate a backup, you must know your system root password and how to open a Terminal window.
The following levels of expertise are required to perform the necessary functions:
· Set up DSPERU tool on system: Customer systems administrator, Xerox system analyst or service representative.
· Initiate DSPERU backup: Printer operator, customer system administrator, Xerox analyst or service representative
· Initiate DSPERU recovery: Customer system administrator, Xerox system analyst or service representative
Installing DSPERU on your DocuSP controller
1. Insert the diskette containing the scripts into the diskette drive.
2. Open a Terminal window and logon as root user.
3. Enter volcheck to mount the diskette.
4. Enter sh /floppy/floppy0/dsperu_setup to launch the setup script.
5. Eject the diskette by entering cd; eject.
The setup script does the following:
· Creates the directory /export/home/xrxusr/backup.
· Copies the btt file to the /export/home/xrxusr directory.
· Copies the dsp_backup_run and dsp_dump files to the
backup subdirectory.
If DSPERU was previously set up on your system, an error message may be displayed when it tries to perform the setup again.
If the files and directory listed above are present, the installation was successful.

Backup procedure¾DSPERU
DOCUSP 3.74
The following information and equipment are required prior to starting the backup.
· The root password
· A tape drive connected and powered on with a blank tape
inserted. Ensure the tape is write-enabled (write-protect tab in the closed position).
NOTE: The backup overwrites the tape cartridge that is inserted. Ensure that no valuable data is present on the tape if it is not blank. The tape is overwritten with no warning.
NOTE: The system is rebooted during the backup process. Ensure that the system is not actively receiving jobs before starting the backup. It is recommended that you set all queues to [Accept = No] and [Release = No] in the Queue Manager prior to initiating a backup.
1. Ensure a blank tape cartridge has been inserted into the tape drive.
2. Open a terminal window and logon as root.
3. From the /export/home/xrxusr directory, enter ls to list all files. Verify that the file btt is listed. If it is not, repeat the DSPERU installation procedure described in the previous section.
4. Enter sh btt to initiate the backup. The system reboots and starts the backup.
If the system returns the message
btt: not found, verify
that you are in the right directory by entering pwd to verify your location. If you are in a different directory, enter the following command to change to the correct one.
cd /export/home/xrxusr
The system generates a message approximately every 10 minutes during the backup with an estimate of how long it will take to complete the backup from that point.
NOTE: If all the data cannot be stored on one cassette, the system pauses when it detects that the tape is full, and displays messages similar to the following:
DUMP: End-of-tape detected
DUMP: 42.23% done, finished in 1:01
DUMP: Change Volumes: Mount volume '#2' on 'bugs:/dev/rmt/0n'
DUMP: NEEDS ATTENTION: Is the new volume (#2) mounted on 'bugs:/dev/rmt/0n' and ready to go?: (yes or no)
XEROX DOCUMENT SERVICES PLATFORM SERIES 5-5 GETTING STARTED
DOCUSP 3.74
Label the next cassette “Vol 2,” insert it into the tape drive, then enter yes. This message set is repeated for as many tapes as required to complete the backup.
IMPORTANT: Proper labeling of the tape is essential to a successful recovery. As the system requests additional tape cartridges, be sure to label the tapes in the correct sequence (for example, Vol #1, Vol #2, etc.). If you insert the tapes in the wrong order during the recovery, the restoration fails.
NOTE: Due to the current DocuSP licensing protection scheme, tapes can be restored only to the system from which they were backed up. In other words, tapes from one system cannot be used to "clone" another system. Any attempt to do this will invalidate the DocuSP license, and a full reloading of software will be required to make the system operational.
If you have multiple printing systems, it is recommended that tapes be labeled with the hostname of the system to reduce the possibility of restoring to the wrong system.
Testing the backup tape
The following procedure enables you to check if the backup tape contains valid data.
1. Ensure that the tape drive is connected and powered on. Insert the backup tape in the tape drive. If the backup required more than one cassette, make sure that the first tape (Vol 1) is inserted.
2. Open a Terminal window and logon as root user.
3. Enter mt -f /dev/rmt/0 status to check the tape drive status. The system returns a message indicating the type of tape drive.
If the system generates the error message
such file or directory
, enter mt -f /dev/rmt/1 status. If
/dev/rmt/0: no
the error message is displayed again, repeat steps 1 through 3 of the “Checking the tape drive" procedure, described later in this chapter. If the problem persists, call for service.
4. When the tape drive location has been verified, enter the following command:
ufsrestore tvf /dev/rmt/xbn"
where x is either 0 or 1, depending on the value that you used in step 3. After a few seconds, the system starts displaying the contents of the tape cassette.
To stop the scrolling display, press <CTRL-c>. When prompted to discontinue the display, enter y.

Recovery procedure¾DSPERU
DOCUSP 3.74
Before starting the recovery procedure, ensure that the following has been done:
· The tape drive must be connected and powered on.
· The tape cassette to which the system was backed up must
be inserted. If there are multiple tapes, tape 1 must be inserted first. The system prompts you to insert each subsequent cassette when it is required.
· The system must be powered on with the controller screen displaying the ok prompt. (To display this prompt, press <Stop><A>.)
IMPORTANT: Insertion of the tape cartridges in the correct sequence is essential to successful recovery. When the system requests additional tape cartridges, be sure to insert the tapes in the correct sequence (for example, Vol #1, Vol #2, etc.). If the tapes are inserted in the wrong order during the recovery process, the restoration will fail.
1. Insert the appropriate Solaris CD for the controller and DocuSP software version that is being restored (Solaris 2.6 for DocuSP 2.X, Solaris 8 for DocuSP 3.X, etc.)
NOTE: Systems equipped with Tandberg Data tape drives must be booted with Solaris 8 CDs, regardless of the version of DocuSP being restored. The Solaris 2.6 CD does not properly recognize these drives and causes an unrecoverable read error during the recovery operation.
2. Write-enable the DSPERU diskette (tab window closed) then insert the DSPERU diskette into the floppy drive.
3. From the Ok prompt, enter boot cdrom -sr to boot the system from CDROM into single-user mode. It may up to five minutes to boot.
NOTE: To stop the system at the ok prompt, power on the controller, then press <Stop> and <A> simultaneously as soon as the screen lights.
If the system is already powered on, logon as root, then enter halt to display the ok prompt.
1. Enter mount /dev/diskette /a to mount the diskette.
2. Enter sh /a/dsp_restore to launch the recovery script.
3. If multiple tapes were used during the backup, the system pauses at the end of each tape and displays a message similar to the following:
Mount volume 2 then enter volume name (default: /dev/rmt/0bn)
Insert the cassettes in sequence as the system requests them.
The system reboots when the recovery is complete.
XEROX DOCUMENT SERVICES PLATFORM SERIES 5-7 GETTING STARTED
DOCUSP 3.74
NOTE: The UNIX ufsrestore utility does not provide the option for estimating how a long a recovery will take. However, the normal amount of time required for recovery is approximately 3 times as long as backing up the system.
Examples:
· 4mm Tape, DocuSP 2.X system, very few or no customer
· QIC Tape, DocuSP 6180 EPS 2.X, 500 Meg customer
· 4mm Tape, DocuSP 3.X, very few or no customer files: 45
Backup and recovery caveats¾DSPERU
Because recovery returns the system to the state that it was in when it was last backed up, certain unexpected or undesirable situations may be encountered. A list of known issues is provided below and will be updated on a continuous basis. Where available, a workaround is provided.
files: 0:20 to backup, 1:00 to restore
resource files: 1:30 to backup, 4:30 to restore
minutes to backup, 2:15 to restore
· Accounting logs are restored to their previous values. If you use the accounting logs for your own internal billing, you need to be aware of this and make the necessary adjustments.
· Jobs that are saved on the system or in a Hold state are restored. If you are sure that you do not want these job files restored, you must delete them prior to performing a backup.
· User and file permission changes made after a backup are lost after system recovery. In some instances this could pose a security risk and must be understood by your system administrator.
· Any software problem existing in the system when it is backed up is likely to resurface after a recovery. Perform a backup performed only on a properly functioning system. Do not initiate a backup while the system is in diagnostics.

DOCUSP 3.74
Activity logging
The file backup.log is used to record backup activities. It is saved in the /export/home/xrxusr directory. The first line of the backup log contains the system name and the time and date the backup was initiated.
To prevent the log being overwritten by a subsequent backup, rename the log. You should give it a name that is somehow related the date that the backup was made (for example, backup040402.log).
To rename the log, perform the following steps:
1. Open a terminal window and logon as root user
2. Enter pwd to verify that /export/home/xrxusr is the current directory.
If it is not, enter cd /export/home/xrxusr to change to it.
3. Enter ls to display the contents of the directory. One of the files listed should be backup.log.
4. Change the log name to your desired name by entering the following command:
mv backup.log logname
where logname is the name you have selected for your backup log.
The file restore.log is used to record recovery activities. It is in the root directory of the DSPERU diskette. Please note that this diskette, and therefore the log is only readable on a UNIX system. The first line of the log, contains the time and date the recovery was initiated. To prevent the log from being overwritten the next time a recovery is performed, rename the log. You should give it a name that is somehow related the date that the recovery was made (for example, restore040402.log).
XEROX DOCUMENT SERVICES PLATFORM SERIES 5-9 GETTING STARTED
DOCUSP 3.74
Checking the tape drive
If the backup or recovery script generates an error message indicating that the tape drive cannot be found, perform the following steps:
1. If DocuSP is running, follow the procedures in your customer documentation to shut down and power off the controller. If the system displays a # prompt, enter halt. When the OK prompt is displayed, power off the controller.
2. Power off the tape drive.
3. Ensure that the SCSI cable connecting the tape drive to the controller is securely connected. If the tape drive is your system’s only external SCSI device, there should be only one SCSI cable connected to the tape drive, and it should be connected to the In connector.
If there are other SCSI devices (for example, external hard drives), ensure that the cable connected to the In connector leads back towards the controller (even if there is another device between the tape drive and the controller). Also verify that there are no bent pins on the connector.
1. If the tape drive is an older unit (for example, an 8mm DocuTech tape drive) with a 50-pin SCSI connector, a terminator must be installed on the Out connector if the tape drive is the last device on the SCSI chain.
NOTE 1: The 50-pin connector is approximately 1.5 inches wide. Newer tape devices have a 68-pin Ultra-SCSI connector, which is 1.75 inches wide.
NOTE 2: The 4mm and QIC tape drives are all Ultra-SCSI devices. These are auto-terminating so no external terminator is needed.
2. Check the SCSI ID selector and ensure that it is not set to 0, 1, 3 or 6. These settings could possibly conflict with internal SCSI devices on some controller types. If there are other external devices, ensure that no two devices are set to the same SCSI ID.
NOTE: The SCSI device ID selector is a small window with two small buttons, located on the back of the drive. Press the buttons to change the value, if necessary.
3. Ensure that the tape inserted in the drive is a regular tape and not a cleaning tape.
4. Power on the tape drive, and wait 10 seconds.
5. Power on the controller.
6. Press <Stop + A> as soon as the banner screen appears.

Resource Backup and Restore (RBR) utility
The Resource Backup and Restore (RBR) utility allows you to back up and restore customer resources such as PostScript fonts, LCDS resources (JSLs, JDLs, etc.), VIPP files, and custom color profiles on color printing systems. The RBR utility backs up files to either magnetic tape or the controller internal hard drive. You can then use the backup disk file or tape to restore the resources onto your controller or other DocuSP controllers.
The following resource files may be backed up to either tape or file:
· LCDS resources: All files in the lcds resource library, located at:
/var/spool/XRXnps/resources/lcds
· PS fonts: All PostScript font files in the following directory:
/var/spool/XRXnps/resources/ps/fonts
· Color resources: User TRCs, user ICC profiles, and the ccprof.tv file, which associates the ICC profiles with your stock database
· VIPP resources: Customer VIPP files in the following directory:
/var/spool/XRXnps/resources/XRXxgfc
· Stock Programming database: The media.tv file
NOTE: Use the Media Restore option (Options 3 and 4 of the Restore Menu) only if you are restoring files to the same release of software from which you backed them up. Otherwise, the results are unpredictable and may require scraping the machine.
Procedure for backing up and restoring resources
This procedure requires root access to the DocuSP controller so that the necessary permissions are available to restore the resources.
NOTE: For these instructions, it is assumed that you have some working knowledge of the UNIX operating system.
The RBR script file is available in the /opt/XRXnps/bin directory of your installed DocuSP 3.6 controller.
1. Open a Terminal window.
2. Enter su.
3. Enter the root password for your system.
4. Change to the directory containing the script.
cd /opt/XRXnps/bin

DOCUSP 3.74
5. Ensure that the executable permission is assigned by following this procedure:
a. Enter ls –l.
b. If x permission is not assigned, enter – chmod +x RBR.
6. Start the script by entering ./RBR.
7. Follow the instructions as they appear on screen to complete the resource backup procedure.
· If you are backing up a large amount of resources, you can monitor the progress of the backup by opening an additional Terminal window and entering:
tail –f /var/spool/XRXnps/log/Resource_BandR.log
· If you are backing up the resources to tape, you need to know the device ID of the tape drive. There are several ways to verify the ID and operability of your tape drive.
- If you have only one tape drive, the ID is usually 0.
- If you have two tape drives, each drive is assigned an ID
starting with 0.
- You should use the mt command to check the operation
of your tape before beginning. Following are some examples of the mt command.
mt –f /dev/rmt/0 status mt –f /dev/rmt/0 rewind mt –f /dev/rmt/0 erase
· When restoring files, the RBR script first makes a backup of the resources that are currently installed on the system. After the original files are backed up, the backup files are restored, and then the original files are restored. This ensures that newer files are not overwritten with older files that are restored from the backup.
If this is not your intent, use the mv command to remove the existing resources from their directory so that all the resources from the backup are restored. For example:
mv /var/spool/XRXnps/resources/lcds /export/home/xrxusr
· Unless you are backing up files and restoring them to the same software release, do not use the RBR utility to restore the Stock Database programming.
You can use the Restore Stock Database option to back up files from DocuSP 2.1 or 3.1 and restore them to DocuSP
3.6 or above.
However, if you restore the stock database programming from DocuSP 2.1 to DocuSP 3.1, the database manager
XEROX DOCUMENT SERVICES PLATFORM SERIES 5-13 GETTING STARTED
DOCUSP 3.74
may not comprehend the older version of the stock database file, and the Restore process would render the software inoperable. A scrape would then be required to correct the problem.
Use the Backup and Restore Bridge tool delivered with your DocuSP software to perform the Stock Database Restore.
