DocuSP 4.2 Overview
This document highlights the changes and new features
between the DocuSP 4.1 and DocuSP 4.2 software
releases.
Many changes have been made to accommodate Xerox
customers who have specific needs.
The first section of this document provides a list of features
that are new for all products. The following sections
indicate features that are new to specific product families
only.
New Features And Updates For All 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 continues
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 performs fewer manual steps at install time,
and saves, 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. Currently, the
Nuvera, HighLight Color, and iGen3 systems contain a
DVD-ROM drive.
PPML Update
DocuSP can now accept PPML zipped jobs with a
Xerox XPIF ticket attached.

Backup/Restore Operability Updates
The Backup and Restore GUI’s operability has been
improved in DocuSP 4.2.
Previously, Configuration Backup and Restore did not
allow backup and restore of DocuSP license data and
was not accessible on an unlicensed system. Under
DocuSP 4.2, Configuration Backup and Restore
provides the following improvements:
♦ Previously used settings in the Configuration
Backup window are saved across DocuSP restarts
and instances when the window is closed and
reopened. These settings include the selected
files/directories for backup, the destination
directory, and the state of the estimate size
option.
♦ Unless overridden by the saved settings, the
default directory destination for backup is
/var/spool/XRXnps/backup. If this directory is not
present on the system, the default is the root
directory.
♦ The default source directory for restore is
/var/spool/XRXnps/backup. If this directory is not
present on the system, the default is the root
directory.
♦ Unless overridden by the saved settings, the
default state of the Estimate Size option is
selected.
♦ The ability to backup/restore DocuSP license data
is provided.
♦ The ability to perform Configuration Restore on
an unlicensed system is allowed, which results in
the system being licensed as well as the other data
being restored.
NOTE: This capability is not available on Nuvera
systems.
2 DocuSP 3.8 and 4.0 to 4.1 Differences Document

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 displays a window
containing instructions for how to perform a System
Restore.

Imposition/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 has been extended to all multiple-up options.
This addition allows multiple-up (e.g. 4-up, 6-up, 9-up,
etc.) to be cut and then stacked in a predefined order
so that postal sort order is maintained. See the figure
below.

The output may be either single-sided or double-sided,
and the layout numbers, as is suggested by the layout
example shown above, the pages and images
appropriately so that the order is maintained when cut
and stacked.
As a specific example of N-up imposition, consider the
2-Up case. 2-Up Flip right can be programmed by
selecting “Repeated” and by 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.

Imposition: Job faults removed and Default scale is
100%
In this release, a few operability improvements have
been made to the imposition software.
The default settings and operation better match
customer usage.
♦ Jobs that previously would fault with a warning that
the image is off the page no longer fault. A job
message is posted on the error page/error window
warning that image data is off the page.
♦ Previously, the default setting was to auto scale.
Customers routinely use scale set to 100% to avoid
reduction or enlargement of image areas.
These improvements make overall training and
operation easier for the walk-up user. Moreover, most
layout users do not want to scale the images. The new
operation allows slight amounts of white space (for
example) to run off the page without faulting the job.

Additions to Job Manager Display
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 is 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 can determine the size of a job and alter job
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.
Job Manager Job List with new columns displayed (non-LCDS systems will
not see the Report ID and JDL/JDE columns).
DocuSP 3.8 and 4.0 to 4.1 Differences Document 7

A new dialog is now available in Preferences that
allows the user to slow down updates to the job list.
This may be useful because the process of updating
the job list may adversely affect printer performance.
This feature allows the user to balance printer
performance with job status updates.
This feature is not meant for normal use. The feature
is meant to provide System Administrators an option
for reducing CPU load in the event that print
performance is degraded due to a large number of job
submissions. The default setting for this feature is 1
second. The value can be set between .25 seconds
(250 milliseconds) to 5 seconds (5000 milliseconds).
When the feature is disabled, updates are posted in a
real-time fashion.

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 processes
all VIPP jobs sent to the queue through any print path
gateway. Non-VPC files are passed through the queue
unfiltered and VPC files are filtered, for example,
expanded, resources deployed, etc., according to the
queue setup configuration.
Workflow examples
♦ Set the processing option of a VPC filter-enabled
queue to Print and Forget and submit a VPC file to
the queue. The resources in the job are
downloaded to the printer, the job(s) printed, and
the resources removed upon job completion.

♦ Set the processing option of a VPC filter-enabled
queue to Deploy and Print and submit a VPC file
to the queue. The resources in the VPC file are
deployed and the job(s) printed. Set the Keep Print
Files option to False to have the print job(s)
deleted upon job completion.
VPC Filter GUI with Deploy and Print selected
DocuSP 3.8 and 4.0 to 4.1 Differences Document 11

♦ Set the processing option of a VPC filter-enabled
queue to Deploy Only and submit a VPC file to the
queue. The resources in the VPC file are deployed
but the job(s) will not be printed. Select Print the
list of deployed resources to print the list of
resources and their deployment status, or leave
this option deselected to obtain only a total count of
the resources deployed.
VPC Filter GUI with Deploy Only selected
♦ Submit any VIPP job to a VPC filter-enabled queue.
12 DocuSP 3.8 and 4.0 to 4.1 Differences Document

Limits, Constraints, and Considerations
♦ The VPC Filter is not supported on single-queue
systems such as the Nuvera Office Printer because
DocuSP does not support any filters on single
queue systems. The DocuSP GUI does not display
the VPC Filter settings on single-queue systems.
♦ The VPC Filter cannot be setup on a streaming
queue. The DocuSP GUI does not allow this
because crash recovery of filtered streaming jobs
does not work with the current architecture.
♦ The Generic Filtering Mechanism (GFM) does not
provide a method for stringing filters together;
therefore, only one filter can be applied to a queue.
♦ DocuSP’s job forwarding mechanism is not
supported.
♦ The VPC Filter is not supported in DocuSP Remote
Workflow (DRW).
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)
The default job-scheduling mode is RBS for all systems
except the Nuvera Office Printer. The default for
Nuvera is Enhanced RBS. RBS and Enhanced RBS
only apply to RIP-input jobs. Scan-input jobs (available
only on systems with a scanner) are not affected. Nor
are streaming jobs affected. Enhanced RBS is only
performed on PCL, PS, PPML, and PDF jobs. If
Enhanced RBS is in effect, all other jobs are processed
using RBS.
DocuSP 3.8 and 4.0 to 4.1 Differences Document 13

If Enhanced RBS is in effect, DocuSP RIPs the job to
determine the resourced defined within the job data
before scheduling the job. If, after RIPping the job, the
controller determines that the job requires unavailable
resources, the job is marked Ineligible and a message
is generated detailing which resources are currently
unavailable. If a job specifies a greater quantity of an
available media than is present on a system, it prints
until the system runs out of that media; then the
operator is prompted to add the required media.
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.
Instructions for programming PCL paper sources are
included in the DocuSP Online Help.

The table below shows the respective mappings
between DocuSP PCL Paper Sources vs. the PCL5/XL
command sequence. The mapping for PCL XL is
different from the HP so as to allow the PCL XL values
to run in sequential order.
In the table below, the Tray values numbered 8-12 are
the most popular values, as they map to HP and
CentreWare High-Capacity trays.
