Introduction This guide describes how to print documents from the platforms supported by this system. The NPS/IPS printers support the processing and printing of PDL and ASCII jobs from network workstations, as well as IPDS jobs from an IBM host. Supported PDL formats are PostScript levels 1 and 2, HP PCL 5e, and TIFF. NOTE: You may be using the DocuPrint NPS/IPS software extension on a DocuPrint 2000 EPS system. The 2000 Series printer models are the 100, 135, 155, and 180.
Introduction Contents This section lists the contents of this guide: • Chapter 1, “DocuPrint and DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS client overview,” provides a brief overview of document attributes and virtual printers. It also provides information on how client workstations interact with the entire printer. • Chapter 2, “Setting up workstations,” describes how to prepare your DOS, Macintosh, and UNIX workstations to work with the printer.
Introduction Conventions This guide uses the following conventions: • All caps and angle brackets: Within procedures, the names of keys are shown in all caps within angle brackets (for example, press ). • Angle brackets: Variable information, or the position of a specified argument in the command syntax, appears in angle brackets (for example, List Fonts ). • Bold: Within procedures, text and numbers that you enter are shown in bold (for example, enter privilege operator).
Introduction Related publications The Xerox DocuColor NPS/IPS documentation set includes the documents listed below. NOTE: For a list of IMB reference manuals for IPDS printing, refer to the Solutions Guide for IPDS Printing.
1. DocuPrint and DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS client overview Print data originates with a document created by the user at a client workstation using an application software package, or at a mainframe or minicomputer. The application allows users to create and format a document according to their exact specifications. The application software provides the capability to print the document using a page description language (PDL).
DocuPrint and DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS client overview Document attributes When submitting jobs to a DocuPrint or DocuColor 2060 NPS/ IPS, you need to know how the system handles jobs so that you can be sure to get the expected output. The NPS/IPS processes jobs based on document attributes. An attribute is a piece of information about a job, such as printing requirements. Examples of document attributes are number of copies or type of paper.
DocuPrint and DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS client overview Once an attribute is assigned to a job, it cannot be removed. However, in some cases, its value may be changed. For example, the operator can change the calue of the plex attribute from simplex to duplex. For detailed information on attributes, refer to the Guide to Managing Print Jobs. Virtual printers A virtual printer is a “logical” printer that applies sets of attributes to jobs submitted to it.
DocuPrint and DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS client overview Printing directly from the application Printing directly from the application (or driver, also known as transparent printing) is easier than using a print job submission program. However, depending on the application, this method may not support all available print options such as number of copies, simplex or duplex printing, and stitching.
DocuPrint and DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS client overview For information on XDS Plus software, refer to the Guide to Job Submission Using XDS Plus. This document is part of the Xerox Production Print Services series. • Xerox DigiPath Quick Print software for Windows NT 4.0 provides a series of dialog boxes that you use to select a document, set up a job ticket, and submit your print job. In some cases, the workstation can be set up for more than one method of job submission.

2. Setting up workstations This chapter describes how to prepare your DOS, Macintosh, and UNIX workstations to work with the printer. It includes procedures for installing and removing Xerox Client Software (print command). Before you complete the tasks in this chapter, do the following at your workstation: • Verify that at least 850 KB of disk space is available on the client workstation.
Setting up workstations Setting up PC-DOS workstations This section describes the steps for installing the Xerox Document Submission Client Software, the appropriate PPD (PostScript Printer Description) file, and the Decomposition Service Tools on a networked PC-DOS workstation. In order for jobs submitted by Xerox Client software to print, Xerox job ticket processing must be enabled. This is specified during installation or by using the Configure utility.
Setting up workstations To install Xerox Client Software, complete the following steps at the client: 1. Ensure that the network software is installed and running. 2. If the host table file does not exist, create it. 3. Verify that the names and corresponding TCP/IP addresses of the printer controller and the PC client itself are in the host table file.
Setting up workstations 7. Using the appropriate client directory and command file, enter the following to access the printer controller using the ftp guest account. >ftp Name: :ftp Password: ftp> ls ftp>cd ftp>get ftp>quit > For FTP PC/TCP client installation, enter any character string and at the “Password” prompt.
Setting up workstations Verifying your installation To verify that the software installation was successful: 1. Enter listq to display the status of available queues. 2. Go to the directory containing Golden Print Job masters (\usr\xerox\NPS/IPS\client\gpj) or any directory that contains a sample file. 3. Enter print -p . The system should respond with “Print request forwarded.” 4. Enter listjob to make sure your job is being printed.
Setting up workstations Installing the Decomposition Service DOS Tools on the PC To install the Decomposition Service Tools, insert the diskette for DOS workstations. Create a directory and copy the tools from the diskette as shown: mkdir c:\dptools cd c:\dptools copy a:*.* The example shows how to copy all tools. However, you may need to install only some of the available tools. Copy only the needed files to your drive.
Setting up workstations NOTE: If the wrong software has been loaded on the client, the executable files may have the wrong extension. If this is the case, delete everything under the above directories. If there are any files named print, listq, or listjob in the directories, /bin, or /usr/bin, delete them also. Make sure that the DOS print command is not accidentally removed instead of the DocuPrint NPS/IPS print command. If you are not sure which command it is, type print .
Setting up workstations Installing the Document Submission Client Software To install a new version of Xerox Document Submission Client Software: 1. Move any existing Xerox Document Submission Client icon from your desktop to the trash. 2. Select Empty Trash from the Special menu. 3. Make a backup copy of the software diskette. See your Macintosh reference manual for this procedure. 4. Create a new folder on the hard disk entitled “DP Mac Client.” 5.
Setting up workstations 3. If your network is configured to include AppleTalk print zones, open the Chooser and select the AppleTalk Zone where the printer is installed. 4. Select the LaserWriter icon. The AppleTalk printer name for the printer appears in the window. 5. Select the AppleTalk printer name and close the Chooser. 6. In the DP Mac Client folder, double-click the DocuPrint icon to start the client software. 7. Select Choose Printer Type and select your printer model. 8.
Setting up workstations Installing Xerox Client Software for UNIX You install Xerox Client Software on client workstations using the ftp command to log on to the printer controller, retrieve an installation command file, and execute it. This procedure automatically downloads the software. NOTE: In order for jobs submitted by Xerox Client software to print, Xerox job ticket processing must be enabled. This is specified during NPS/IPS installation or by using the Configure utility.

Setting up workstations • csh users should enter source .cshrc or log off and log on, after modifying the “Set path” command in their .cshrc file. • Bourne shell users should modify and export the PATH variable. Verifying your installation To verify that the software installation was successful: 1. Enter listq to display the status of available queues. 2. Go to the directory containing Golden Print Job masters (/usr/ xerox/NPS/IPS/client/gpj) or any directory that contains a sample file. 3.
Setting up workstations 2. Copy the contents of the /usr/xerox/NPS/IPS/client/man directory into /usr/xerox/man/man1. 3. Edit the .cshrc file in the home directory to include the following line: setenv MANPATH /usr/xerox/man:/usr/man 4. Reinitialize the shell environment by entering source .cshrc • Korn shell users: 1. Create the directories /usr/xerox/man and /usr/xerox/man/ man1. 2. Copy the contents of the /usr/xerox/NPS/IPS/client/man directory into /usr/xerox/man/man1. 3.
Setting up workstations Removing UNIX client software This section describes the procedure for removing the print command client software. You may need to perform this procedure prior to updating software, or to correct corrupted file installation on the platform. The steps are shown below. # cd /usr/xerox/NPS/IPS/client # rm cconf # cd /usr/xerox/NPS/IPS/client/bin # rm listq # rm print # rm listjob # cd ../man # rm listq.1 # rm listjob.1 # rm print.1 # cd ../gpj # rm XRXGPJ1.ps # rm XRXGPJ2.
Setting up workstations Installing the PPD file for UNIX You need to install the PostScript Printer Description (PPD) file for your specific printer model. Because different software applications require the PPD file to reside in different locations, first determine the appropriate directory for installing the PPD file by referring to your application software documentation.
Setting up workstations To install the Decomposition Service Tools: 1. Insert the diskette for Solaris or for SunOS workstations. You may need to install some or all of the tools. 2. Enter the following commands: NOTE: The directory in the example is called xmerge; the actual directory name or path is unimportant.
Setting up workstations Enabling lpr print utilities for UNIX workstations The following section provides information specific to Sun OS 4.0 and 4.1x, and Solaris environments. SunOS 4.0 and 4.1x To enable lpr print utilities, you need to edit the /etc/printcap file. Each entry in a printcap file describes a printer; each entry is a line consisting of a number of fields separated by colons (:). The first entry for each printer gives the names that are known for the printer, separated by vertical bars (|).
Setting up workstations The following example shows printcap entries for a printer named “Perfector.” The printer controller is registered as “perfector.” An additional virtual printer, “Perfector-duplex,” is defined for duplex printing.
Setting up workstations • To identify the virtual printer on the DocuPrint to use: lpadmin -p que_name -s NPS/ IPS_name\!virtual_printer_name -I any where: – -p que_name defines the printer name on the client – que_name can be the same name as the virtual_printer_name – -I defines the content type • To allow the client to send print requests to the DocuPrint: accept que_name enable que_name • To submit a job: lp -d que_name filename • To list the status of the printer: lpstat -p que_name • To list
Setting up workstations Setting up a new printer on Windows 2000 • Telnet session • Another method that complies with the Port 9100 / socket printing TCP standards. To set up a new printer on Windows 2000: 1. Obtain a driver for the printer to be used. 2. Access the Add Printer Wizard by selecting Add Printer from the Control Panel / Settings / Printer folder. 3. Select Local Printer and disable Automatically detect and install my plug and play printer. Click Next. 4.Select Create a raw port.
Setting up workstations Color calibration for the DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS Color calibration is essential to insuring good color quality. The purpose of calibration is to measure how the DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS is printing the requested colors and to then make any corrections that are required. The operator calibrates the printer when color output begins to drift.
