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. 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
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.
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.
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.
6

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.
7

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 4.2
are:
♦ First-in, first-out (FIFO)
♦ Resource-Based (RBS)
♦ Enhanced Resource-Based (Enhanced RBS)
Additional PCL Paper Sources
In DocuSP 4.2, the common controller is extended to support
21 more paper sources for PCL. Under DocuSP 4.1, the PCL
decomposer provided a total of 6 PCL paper sources, which
does not meet the capabilities of certain systems; for example,
the Nuvera product may have up to 12 physical feeds by
allowing customers to add external paper feeder modules.
With DocuSP 4.2, customers with systems that have more
than 6 trays can map a unique PCL paper source to each of
their trays.
IPDS
Intelligent Print Data Stream (IPDS) is a sequence of
information transmitted by an IBM host computer as directed
by the Print Service Facility (PSF). In addition to delivering
print information, the IPDS data stream performs printer
control functions and shares job status information.
The DocuSP IPDS gateway is now available in DocuSP 4.2
and is configured by means of a Graphical User Interface
(GUI), featuring drop-down menus, tabs, and icons from which
to manage the DocuSP IPDS functions. DocuSP IPDS
supports the TCP/IP and online channel interfaces.
IPDS is not available on the Sun W1100Z (x86 AMD)
controller for the DocuTech and DocuPrint products. IPDS is
not available for the DocuColor or iGen3 products.
DocuSP IPDS does not currently support any non-Xerox Front
End Processors. Certain FEPs may work successfully but
interoperability is not guaranteed.
Refer to the DocuSP IPDS User Guide for additional
information on IPDS.

Sun W1100Z workstation
The Sun Workstation x86 AMD W1100z is a complete high-
volume Sun Solaris Operating System (x86 Platform Edition)
with an AMD CPU. This new platform is now available for the
DocuPrint 1xx EPS and DocuTech 61xx product families.
NOTE: The "Sun W1100z and W2100z Workstations
Supplemental CD" is periodically updated by Sun. A different
version of the CD may be in the x86 delivery than the
one delivered in the DocuSP software kit.
DocuTech 128/155/180 HighLight Color
The DocuSP 4.2 release supports green dry ink for the DT
HighLight Color printer. Red was made available with the
December launch of the DT HighLight Color printer.
Due to timing, the consumable supplies order numbers are not
yet included in the DT HighLight Color customer
documentation. The table below specifies the numbers for
each of the consumables.
Note that the Developer is ordered and stocked by the Xerox
Service Representative for your site. The numbers are

DocuColor printer specific changes
The iGen3 110 with SmartSize Technology
This release introduces the Xerox iGen3 110 with SmartSize
Technology. This new configuration offers new levels of
productivity to customers running certain sheet sizes.
♦ Feeds and images 8 ½ x 11 or A4 sheets at up to 110
impressions per minute.
♦ With SmartSize technology, sheet sizes below 11 x 17
inches or A3 run at varyiung rates automatically,
depending upon how many images can fit on the
photoreceptor.
New Platform for iGen3
A new hardware platform is included with the DocuSP 4.2
version of the Xerox iGen3 system.
The Sun fire v890 features the new UltraSPARC IV 64 bit
processor with Chip Multi-threading technology offering two
threads per processor chip. With dual-threaded architecture,
each UltraSPARC IV processor consists of two virtual
processors with shared memory.
The platform configuration is as follows:
♦ 1 CPU/Memory board with 2 dual-threading processors, 16
dual inline memory modules (DIMMs) for 8 GB of memory.
♦ IDE I/O controller for support of DVD/CD-RW drives
♦ 3 x N+1 redundant hot-swappable 240VAC power supplies
♦ 3 x 73 GB hard disk drives, upgradeable to 6
♦ Integrated Fibre Channel dis subsystem
♦ 16 MB external cache per chip
♦ GPIO combo graphic adapter and dual network interface
card
♦ Enhanced diagnostics
iGen3 updates
♦ For the DocuSP 4.2 product, the iGen3 CMYK source
profile has been improved to more closely resemble
SWOP rendition. This enables customers who are used to
SWOP workflows to more closely emulate SWOP output.
♦ The SWOP Gamut does not fully utilize the iGen3 gamut.
The new SWOP Plus color profile sets hues within the
SWOP gamut to continue to simulate a SWOP press.
11

Colors outside the SWOP gamut extend to the full iGen3
gamut. This provides increased contrast and saturation,
allows smooth transition to more saturated colors while
controlling blues and dark colors. In short, SWOP Plus
allows customers to leverage the larger color gamut
available in iGen3.
♦ This updated profile allows better contrast and results for
customers implementing color management.
♦ For DocuSP 4.2, a Pantone processing control has been
added. The user now has the ability to disable Pantone
processing. This provides added flexibility when matching
Pantone page level elements at the press.
♦ DocuSP 4.2 provides the user with more Gray Component
Removal (GCR) selections, as well as more consistent
reproduction across GCR selections. Additionally, the
enhanced GCR strategy improves the Saturation, Pure,
and Perceptual rendering intents.
♦ Edge Enhancement is an iGen3-specific feature that
outlines the non-saturated graphic objects and produces a
crisp edge. In previous releases of DocuSP, Edge
Enhancement was always applied and could not be turned
off. In DocuSP 4.2, the user can choose to enable or
disable this feature.
♦ DocuSP 4.2 provides the customer with the Japan Color
Emulation options for the four paper types.
DocuSP 4.1 to 4.2 for Nuvera 100/120 Only
Bates Print Option
Customers purchasing the DocuSP 4.2-based Nuvera
products will be able to purchase a separate application
entitled ‘Bates Print.’ Bates Print is an annotation product,
developed by Rochester Software Associates (RSA), which
addresses specific needs of legal offices. It gives the operator
the ability to add the following text to their document:
♦ Time/Date
♦ Document number
♦ Page number
♦ User-specified text
Bates Print has the ability to remember the document number,
which is automatically incremented for each job.
12

New Features LCDS
LCDS Accounting page update
DocuSP 4.2 introduces an update to the LCDS accounting
page. Prior to 4.2, only the initial JDL/JDE was printed on the
LCDS accounting page and saved in the DocuSP accounting
log. In 4.2, the Initial JDL/JDE remains the same; however, the
Current (or Last) JDL/JDE is also printed on the LCDS
accounting page and saved in the DocuSP accounting log.
LCDS Console Enhancements
DocuSP 4.2 introduces the following enhancements to the
existing LCDS Console dialog:
♦ Date/Time stamps will be displayed along with all
messages that are displayed.
♦ The ability to clear the currently displayed messages is
provided.
♦ The messages for the past two weeks are now logged and
viewable within the LCDS Console dialog.
The LCDS Console dialog will now contain two tabs, “Current”
and “History:”
UIM Removal: DocuPrint 180 only
A version of the DocuPrint 180 EPS printing system is being
made available later in the year that removes the User
Interface Monitor (UIM) from the printer and incorporates the
UIM activities into the DocuSP user interface. Printer faults
and recovery procedures will be available through the DocuSP
interface with this new configuration when it is available.

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. If you encounter one of these caveats
that impact your print production, contact your Xerox support
representative.
Caveat Applicable printer product
The LCDS Tape Client updates were
incorrectly documented as being available in
earlier versions of the Getting Started and in
the 4.1 to 4.2 Differences Document. The
Tape Client updates are not available in this
release of DocuSP.
All applicable LCDS printers
For optimal operation of the DocuSP IPDS,
follow these guidelines:
1. Do not Pause the printer to continue
RIPping a job while deferring printing.
Continue the processing and printing of
an IPDS job before attempting to print
another job.
2. Do not use Reposition Output on an IPDS
job.
3. Select 1 to N printing as a default. If N to
1 printing is necessary, set the maximum
set size for the finisher to the actual
finisher capacity, and do not direct jobs to
the finisher that are larger than the
finisher can accommodate.
All applicable IPDS printers
Specific printer status problems are not
described with Intervention Required
messages. Only a generic message is sent.
Ensure that the print shop management
process does not depend upon the printer
providing a specific description of the error.
All applicable IPDS printers
15

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.
All applicable IPDS printers
Jobs do not recover to a specific page
boundary. The iPDS Gateway zeros the
counters and the host recovery process
determines whether printing resumes at the
next expected page or if a number of
duplicate pages are printed. Check the output
for additional duplicate pages.
All applicable IPDS printers
Selecting APPLY or OK in the IPS Manager
UI while the Channel Interface is active in the
Online Manager may result in the system
crashing. Avoid changing IPDS configuration
values or initiating a trace capture or playback
while the Online Manager is active.
All applicable IPDS printers
MaxiCode, 2d Data Matrix bar codes, and
GSCD (graphic set character direction) do not
work reliably.
All applicable IPDS printers
The Tray Code column of the PCL Paper
Sources numbers 1 through 6 are correct.
But beginning at 7, the Tray Codes do not
reflect the correct HP paper tray select codes
<esc>&lxH where x is 8 for tray 7 and 20 for
tray 8 etc. Refer to the DocuSP 4.1 to 4.2
Differences Document for a table detailing the
correct HP paper tray codes.
All
In Printer Manager, the tab button does not
work when a tray has multiple stocks. Use
the arrow keys to move through the Printer
Manager dialog.
All
After a faulted job is released for printing, the
fault message may not clear. Ignore the
message.
All
Some incorrectly formatted UDFS CDs cause
the DocuSP to hang. Some PC applications
may produce UDFS CDs that cause the
DocuSP to hang. Reboot the DocuSP and
avoid using the application that created the
CD.
All
The Select All option in the Job menu does
not select all of the jobs listed in the Current
tab or Completed tab if none of the jobs is
selected. If one job is selected then the Select
All option works accordingly.
All
