4. Tools and utilities
This section includes various software tools and utilities for use
with the DocuSP software.
Set Retain PDL
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.
Changing the retain PDL setting
Perform the following steps to modify the number of PDLs that
can be retained on the DocuSP.
1. On the DocuSP interface, select Setup and System
Preferences. Select the Job Policy tab.
2. Ensure that the setting for Retain PDL files of last 50 jobs is
set as enabled.
3. Select [OK]. Do not restart the system if you are prompted
to do so.
4. In the background, right-click to open the menu. Open a
Terminal window.
5. Login as root user.
6. Type: /opt/XRXnps/bin/setretainPDL # and press <Enter>,
where # is a number between 1 and 100. A value of 0
maintains the current setting.
7. Close the Terminal window. Restart the DocuSP software.
