2. DocuSP 4.2 New Features and Enhancements All DocuSP – Based Products General feature 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.
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.
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.
Two-Stage Resource-Based Scheduling DocuSP 4.2 provides a mechanism to: ♦ Determine all the resources required by a RIP-input job before scheduling the job for printing. ♦ Allow the customer to choose between this new scheduling mode and the existing modes. ♦ Prevent a job from being erroneously scheduled in the event that some of the required media is unavailable. The scheduling modes that are available under DocuSP 4.

3. DocuSP 4.2 Software Release Information Notes and Caveats The sections in this chapter cover known issues with the DocuSP 4.2 software and supporting applications. DocuSP Controller The following table details the caveats for the DocuSP 4.2 software and indicates which, or all, printer products to which the caveat applies. These caveats are planned to be fixed in a future release of the DocuSP software.
16 Caveat Applicable printer product IPDS crashes with a C03-308 Fatal System Error. To avoid the problem, increase the IPDS Shared Memory Space in the IPDS Manager. Recommended sizes are 128MB for monochrome printers, 512MB for color printers. The setting can be as high as 1024MB depending upon the complexity of the jobs. Jobs do not recover to a specific page boundary.
Caveat Applicable printer product In Queue Manager, the OK button does not apply the changes as expected. Select Apply, then OK. The job properties of a topic submitted for print from the help window do not display correctly. The job prints correctly. Job submissions using IPP Gateway on a MAC OSX system fail. Find an alternative submission path. Power saver cannot be exited by selecting Exit Power Saver. Follow the instructions in the fault window to exit power saver.
Caveat Applicable printer product PPML resource location is not restored in Preferences menu after a Configuration Restore. You must reenter the location manually. All The NetWare and AppleTalk Gateway settings are not restored in the UI after a Configuration Restore. You must reset the gateway manually. All Data Overwrite aborts due to insufficient storage space. All Avoidance: Backup saved jobs and/or resources to a network repository.
Caveat Applicable printer product Copy-Sensitive CME jobs print with extra pages. All monochrome printers Avoidance: Program a Copy-Sensitive CME in the START JDL, even if it is a CME CONSTANT to print a space. The output prints correctly. Long jobs that are simplex with a solid highlight color image in the same location on each page may cause staining on the fuser that appears on subsequent jobs. Contact the Xerox customer support center for assistance. Jobs programmed with front covers do not print.
20 Caveat Applicable printer product 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. DocuPrint 1xx EPS DocuTech 61xx Jobs with a Layout custom template and 1 Up may complete with errors. DocuColor 8000 In DocuSP 3.8, Offset was a system-level setting and ON by default. In DocuSP 4.x, Offset is a queue setting and is OFF by default.
Caveat Applicable printer product Configuration backup to CD fails if more than one CD is needed. 1) Select a backup destination other than CD DocuPrint 1xx EPS DocuTech 61xx 2) Select fewer categories to backup so that the backup fits on one CD. This step can be repeated as many times as needed to get all of the categories backed up. If multiple backups are performed, then multiple restores will be needed to restore the entire configuration.

TGBackup TGBackup is an interim tape backup tool that supplements the DocuSP System Backup utility. Backing up to tape in not yet available in the Backup and Restore feature in DocuSP. TGBackup provides the ability to backup the system files to a tape. TGBackup is only available on a Sun SPARC workstation. TGBackup is installed on the DocuSP controller by the Xerox service representative. The TGBackup utility consists of the following files: ♦ TGBackup.htm – these directions in html format.
NOTES: ♦ TGBackup will attempt to locate a “ready” tape drive; If no ready tape drives are found the script aborts and the boot process continues. ♦ DocuSP 4.X systems with 36 Gbyte or more total disk space have three file systems to dump: root (/), /var, and /var/spool/XRXnps. Systems with less than 36G total disk space have only the root file system to dump. ♦ If the current tape cassette fills up, the dump process pauses and the user is prompted to insert another cassette.
Performing a recovery Performing a recovery may require one or two steps: ♦ If the system disk had to be replaced, a flash (clean) install of Solaris must first be performed. This partitions the system disk and takes approximately 20-25 minutes. A Solaris install must be performed by the Xerox service representative. As soon as the system starts rebooting, halt to the system at the ok prompt by pressing [Stop][A]. ♦ Launch the recovery program by following the steps below. 1.
