Laser safety  
Warning: Adjustments, use of controls, or performance of  
procedures other than those specified herein may result in  
hazardous light exposure.  
!
The Xerox DocuPrint printers are certified to comply with the  
performance standards of the U.S. Department of Health, Education,  
and Welfare for Class 1 laser products. Class 1 laser products do not  
emit hazardous radiation. The DocuPrint printers do not emit  
hazardous radiation because the laser beam is completely enclosed  
during all modes of customer operation.  
The laser danger labels on the system are for Xerox service  
representatives and are on or near panels or shields that must be  
removed with a tool. DO NOT REMOVE LABELED PANELS OR  
PANELS NEAR LABELS. ONLY XEROX SERVICE  
REPRESENTATIVES HAVE ACCESS TO THESE PANELS.  
Ozone information  
This product produces ozone during normal operation. The amount  
of ozone produced depends on copy volume. Ozone is heavier than  
air. The environmental parameters specified in the Xerox installation  
instructions ensure that concentration levels are within safe limits. If  
you need additional information concerning ozone, call 1-800-828-  
6571 to request the Xerox publication 600P83222, OZONE.

1. 1Introduction to the graphical  
user interface  
This chapter gives an overview of the graphical user interface (GUI)  
and provides instructions on how to use it to interact with the system.  
With the user interface you perform operator and system  
administration tasks through a dynamic set of windows. Either a  
mouse or certain keyboard combinations are used to move between  
windows and select options. You enter commands through windows  
on the display screen.  
The graphical user interface screen  
After you power on the Host Channel Unit (HCU), if appropriate, and  
the Sun workstation, the Printer Controller monitor displays three  
windows:  
•
•
•
IPS main window  
IPS Console window  
IPS Print Engine Monitor window.  
The IPS main window is the largest window on the screen. The main  
window displays the current system setup, the current system status,  
and any jobs that are running. This window also provides access to  
menus and subwindows from which you can configure and operate  
your system.  
The IPS Console window displays messages that warn you of  
Printer Controller problems. The window also indicates the host job  
name as it is started and received by the system. This window initially  
displays below the IPS main window on the left, but it can be moved  
where desired.  
Note: High frequency service indicator (HFSI) messages may  
appear occasionally in this window. These messages do not indicate  
any problem, merely that you should advise your service  
representative to check the indicated areas during the next service  
call.  
The IPS Print Engine Monitor window shows printer error  
messages, indicates the printer status and displays printer and DFA  
messages. (This window initially displays below the IPS main window  
on the right, but it can be moved where desired.)  
Figure 1-1 shows these windows on the screen of the Printer  
Controller monitor.

INTRODUCTION TO THE GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE  
Using the user interface screens  
The graphical user interface screens contain various combinations of  
pull-down menus and dropdown lists, selection buttons, incremental  
spin boxes, and text fields by which you can interact with the system.  
The following describes how to use these screen features.  
Pull-down menus  
A pull-down menu or list is indicated by an inverted triangle within the  
menu title box or oval, to the right of the menu name.  
Figure 1-2. Example of a pull-down menu title button from the  
IPS main window  
Types of pull-down menus  
You will encounter two types of pull-down menus on the IPS  
windows:  
•
File pull-down menus. These menus contain options that are  
actually files. When you select an option, the system retrieves  
that file. The top line of a file pull-down menu displays the  
directory path the system takes to retrieve the file you select.  
Examples of this type of pull-down menu include Input and  
Output Group Name menus and DFA Profile menus.  
Figure 1-3. Example of a file pull-down menu  
•
Standard pull-down menus display the options to be selected.

INTRODUCTION TO THE GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE  
Selecting from a pull-down menu  
There are two methods of accessing items from a pull-down menu:  
•
Click method:  
1. Position the cursor over the menu box or oval and click the  
right mouse button. The menu options display.  
2. With either mouse button, click the option you want. The  
menu disappears and the screen for your selection is  
displayed.  
•
Drag method:  
1. Position the cursor over the menu box or oval and hold  
down the right mouse button. The menu options display.  
2. Continue to hold down the right mouse button while you  
drag the cursor to the option you want.  
3. Release the mouse button when the cursor is on your  
selection. The menu disappears and the screen for your  
selection is displayed.  
Notes on pull-down menus  
Here are a few things to remember about pull-down menus:  
•
Clicking a pull-down menu with the left mouse button selects  
the first option on the menu/list. (Clicking with the right button  
displays the entire menu.)  
•
•
Only one menu item window can be displayed at a time.  
Therefore, close a currently open window before opening a new  
one.  
On some of the IPS subwindows, the selection you make from a  
pull-down menu is displayed in the lower-right corner of the  
window. It remains until you close the window or enter a  
selection/value elsewhere on that same window.

INTRODUCTION TO THE GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE  
Buttons  
A selection button displays as an oval or box (except for the Stop and  
Continue buttons) containing a function name, but no inverted  
triangle.  
Figure 1-6. Example of a selection button from the IPS main  
window  
Cancel Job  
To use a button:  
1. With the cursor positioned over the button, click the left mouse  
button.  
2. If the selection button is a toggle (turning a selection on/off),  
you can alternately select and deselect it by repeatedly clicking  
it with the left mouse button.  
Incremental spin buttons  
An incremental spin button consists of a line displaying a numeric  
value, with buttons next to it containing arrows.  
Figure 1-7. Example of incremental spin buttons  
To select an item that has incremental spin buttons:  
1. Position the cursor on the triangle (up arrow) button to increase  
the value displayed, or on the inverted triangle (down arrow) to  
decrease the value.  
2. Repeatedly click or hold down the left mouse button until your  
desired value is displayed.  
Note: You can also enter the values on the line next to the spin  
buttons. Refer to “Entering text,” later in this chapter.  
Note: On some windows, the value you enter or select is displayed  
in the lower-left or -right corner of the window. It remains until you  
close the window or enter a selection/value elsewhere on that same  
window.

INTRODUCTION TO THE GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE  
Moving a window or icon  
Windows and icons may be moved and repositioned where you want  
them on the screen. You may need to do this when a window you  
display covers all or part of another window you also need to see.  
Drag and drop procedure  
To move an item on the screen:  
1. Position the cursor on the icon or on the title bar of the window  
you want to move.  
2. Hold down the left mouse button while moving the cursor to the  
desired location. The window or icon moves with the cursor as  
long as you hold down the mouse button.  
3. Release the mouse button when the item is where you want it.  
This procedure is often referred to as “drag and drop.”  
Uncovering a window  
Clicking a window’s title bar with the left mouse button places that  
window in front (or on top) of any icons or windows that are  
overlapping it. You would do this if you want to view an entire window  
that is partially covered by other windows or icons you do not want to  
close.  
If the title bar of the window you want is completely covered, use the  
“Front” key on the keyboard, or drag and drop the other windows  
away to expose enough of the title bar to click on. (Refer to “Drag and  
drop procedure,” above.)  
Reducing a window  
There are two ways to “shrink” a window on the screen, that is, to get  
it out of your way without closing it:  
•
Resizing from the corner: Position the cursor on one of the  
window’s corners and hold down the left mouse button. A small,  
target-shaped icon displays at the point of the cursor. Drag the  
corner of the window in the desired direction to shrink or  
expand the window. (You are not able to resize the window if the  
“target” icon is not displayed.)  
•
Reducing to an icon: If a window has a button containing an  
inverted triangle in the upper left corner on the title bar, you can  
reduce the window to an icon on the screen background by  
single-clicking the triangle button. To restore the window to its  
original size, double-click that icon with the left mouse button.  
Note: Reducing a window to an icon does not in any way  
interfere with any ongoing process that was initiated from that  
window. It does not close the window.

INTRODUCTION TO THE GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE  
Entering text  
Some windows contain lines on which you can enter text such as file  
names or numeric values. At the beginning of a text field, there is a  
small icon. This icon displays as a dark triangle when the cursor is  
positioned anywhere in the window containing the text field. When  
the cursor is outside the window, the icon on the line becomes a  
grayed-out diamond shape, and you cannot enter text in the field.  
Here are some rules for entering text on a window:  
•
If a window contains more than one text field, click the left  
mouse button on the text field you want to use, before beginning  
to type.  
•
•
You can enter text only when the line displays the dark triangle  
icon. Text that you enter displays in front of the triangle.  
To highlight or select text in a text field:  
1. Position the cursor at the beginning or the end of the text  
you are selecting.  
2. Holding down the left mouse button, drag the cursor to the  
right or left until the desired text is highlighted.  
3. Release the mouse button.  
•
•
To delete text in a text field, do either of the following:  
—
Position the cursor to the right of the text to be deleted and  
press either <DELETE> or <BACKSPACE>. This erases  
the character to the left of the cursor. If you hold down  
either of these keys, characters continue to be deleted to  
the left until you release the key or all characters are  
erased.  
—
Highlight the text you want to delete, then press  
<DELETE> or <BACKSPACE>.  
To move text:  
1. Highlight the text to be moved.  
2. Position the cursor on the highlighted text.  
3. Holding down the left mouse button, drag the highlighted  
text to the right or left on the same line, or to another line  
on the same window, and release the mouse button.  
Note: You cannot drag text from one window to  
another.

Exiting a window  
You can exit most IPS windows by clicking the left mouse button on  
a Quit, Done, or Cancel button. Sometimes an Apply button closes  
the window after applying what has been specified or selected.  
Pin buttons  
In addition, on certain windows, there is a small button in the shape  
of a push-pin in the upper-left corner on the title bar (illustrated in the  
following examples).  
•
If the pin is “out:”

IPS main window  
To configure your system, use the IPS main window to provide  
access to the Configuration, Diagnostics, Administration, and  
System Options menus, and to the Input and Output Configuration  
subwindows. You return to this window from each of the subwindows  
after you have made your selections.  
Caution: When you are using the mouse on the IPS main window,  
it is possible to delete the window by selecting Quit from the pull-  
down menu on the title bar. Should this occur, you must reboot the  
Sun workstation. (Refer to the “Starting and stopping the system”  
chapter for the rebooting procedure.)

Menus  
The IPS main window displays the following pull-down menus:  
•
•
•
•
Configuration  
Diagnostics  
Administration  
System Options.  
Note: Clicking or pressing the right mouse button with the cursor on  
the title bar of a window displays a title bar pull-down menu. This  
menu contains options having to do with displaying the window (for  
example, the Refresh option redisplays or redraws the window).  
The title bar pull-down menu is generated by the Windows system on  
your Sun workstation and does not apply to the IPS software. You  
should not have occasion to use it.  
Configuration menu  
Use the Configuration pull-down menu on the IPS main window to set  
up various options in the Printer Controller. The figure below  
illustrates the items available from the Configuration pull-down menu,  
followed by an explanation of each item.  
Note: Items in the Configuration pull-down menu that appear  
“grayed out” on the screen are unavailable for use with your system’s  
configuration.

Input Configuration section  
The Input Configuration section of the main window provides access  
to the windows that enable you to configure the printer input trays to  
feed the stocks you want to be used in the print job. It also displays  
the current configuration of the feeder trays.  
Figure 1-15. Input Configuration section of IPDS main window  
The Input Configuration section—the upper part of the larger left  
column—contains the following fields:  
•
Input Configuration pull-down menu — Allows you to select  
an Input Configuration window. Once you select an Input  
Configuration window, you will be able to modify margin settings  
from that window, and to create or change Input Configurations,  
DFA personality profiles, and media icons.  
•
IPDS Trays — Graphically shows the stocks that the current  
configuration has associated with the input trays that are called  
out in the job (IPDS data stream).  
This field consists of a row of eight boxes called “tray cells,”  
each of which represents an input tray that a job might specify.  
The number above each tray cell is the tray’s identification  
number. The number(s) below each tray cell indicate the printer  
trays to which the IPDS tray has been mapped.  
Any IPDS tray for which a particular stock has been identified  
displays a media icon in its tray cell. A media icon graphically  
represents a stock, showing its weight, color, size, and form  
type (3-hole, etc.).  
Note: You map an IPDS tray to a printer tray by placing a  
media icon for the same stock in the cells for both trays.  
The mapping of IPDS trays determines the use of system  
memory for handling media of different sizes. It is  
recommended that media that are not used in a particular job is  
not placed in an IPDS cell.

bins have been mapped to the physical printer bins.  
In the Output Configuration section of the main window, the  
horizontal rows of icons represent the IPDS bins specified in the  
job as the output destination. The vertical columns represent  
the actual printer bins to which output will be delivered.  
When a bin has been selected as part of the configuration, it  
displays bolded on the screen. By looking at the printer bin  
number at the top of the column above each bolded icon, and at  
the IPDS bin number at the beginning of the row beside the  
same bolded icon, you can see which IPDS bins have been  
mapped to which printer bins.

2Starting and stopping the  
system  
This chapter describes how to start and stop your printing system. It  
addresses the proper methods of powering the system on and off,  
starting and stopping print jobs, shutting down the system, and  
dealing with power failures.  
Powering on the IPS system  
When you power on the IPS, it is important to perform all procedures  
in the correct order, including some tasks required before powering  
on.  
Before powering on  
Before powering on the system, make sure the following has been  
done:  
•
•
The Printer Controller and monitor are connected to dedicated  
power receptacles.  
The printer cable is connected securely to the connector on the  
back of the Printer Controller. If the cable is not connected,  
make sure the printer and Printer Controller are powered off.  
Then connect the cable.  
Caution: Do not connect the printer cable to the Printer  
Controller when either the Printer Controller or the printer is  
powered on; you could destroy the interface card in the Printer  
Controller.  
•
•
Press the Power switch on the printer to the On position so that  
the printer powers on automatically when the Printer Controller  
is powered on. The Printer Controller automatically boots the  
IPS software when it is powered on.  
Make sure all feeder trays are in Ready position: closed, with  
adequate paper loaded. Otherwise the IPS cannot initialize, and  
it reports “Not ready” to the host.  
If this occurs, correct the tray condition, then reboot the  
workstation. (Refer to “Rebooting the Printer Controller,” later in  
this chapter.)  
•
Always allow at least ten seconds between powering off the  
printer and powering it back on again. This pause prevents  
possible damage to the sensitive components in the processor.

STARTING AND STOPPING THE SYSTEM  
Powering on procedure  
Power on the IPS system in the following sequence:  
1. Power on all peripherals, such as the optional tape drive and  
display monitor.  
2. If your system is channel-attached, power on the Host Channel  
Unit (HCU). When the HCU is ready (offline) the code 2  
displays in its LED window. You can now power on the  
remaining components.  
Note: The HCU displays a 2. When the Sun workstation is  
completely booted, the display shows 0.  
See “HCU Messages” in the Xerox DocuPrint IPS Messages  
Guide for a list and explanation of HCU codes.  
3. Power on the printer, if necessary.  
4. Power on the Sun workstation processor. The operating system  
for the Printer Controller and the IPS application software are  
automatically loaded.  
5. If the printer is not warmed up by the time the Controller has  
booted, the window containing the message DocuPrint IPS  
Initializing, “Waiting for Printer Configuration” remains on the  
screen. Either:  
•
•
Wait for the printer to warm up and the message to  
disappear (which takes a varying amount of time), or,  
Use the following procedure to reduce the amount of boot  
time:  
a. With the cursor on the blue screen background, click  
the right mouse button to display the workspace pull-  
down menu.  
b. Select Restart from the workspace menu, then Confirm  
from the confirmation prompt that displays. The Printer  
Controller reboots.  
c. After the Controller boots, a window displays with the  
message “Media Definition Conflict” (because no  
default input configuration has been applied). Click OK  
to display the Input Configuration window.  
d. Make sure the paper loaded in the feeder trays  
matches the stock specified in the Printer Trays cells  
on the Input Configuration window. If it does not, make  
any necessary changes to the paper in the trays or to  
the media icons in the tray cells. (Refer to “Specifying  
the input configuration” in the “Setting the system  
configuration” chapter.)  
e. Click Apply & Update on the Input Configuration  
window.  
f. On the confirmation prompt window that displays, click  
Apply.  
g. Click Quit on the Input Configuration window. The IPS  
main window displays.

STARTING AND STOPPING THE SYSTEM  
Powering off the IPS system  
Do not power off the system until it has stopped printing.  
Note: Powering off the system at the end of the day is not  
necessary. However, doing so does not damage the system.  
Always power off the system before you do any of the following:  
•
•
•
•
Remove or install a processor part  
Remove or install an external drive unit or monitor  
Unplug the processor power cord  
Recover from a system that does not respond to the keyboard  
or the mouse  
•
•
Prepare for an expected power outage  
Physically relocate the system.  
Note: When a power outage occurs, turn off the power  
switches on all your equipment. This protects your equipment  
from possible power surge damage when power is restored.  
In routine operation  
When powering off the system, follow this sequence:  
1. Make sure no print jobs are running. Take the IPS offline from  
the host by selecting Offline from the System Options menu on  
the IPS main window.  
2. Use one of the two methods below to shut down the Printer  
Controller. Both methods immediately stop all processes  
running on the Printer Controller and on the printer, and return  
to the Boot prompt for the operating system.  
•
With the pointer in the desktop background area of the  
screen (not in a window or on an icon), press the right  
mouse button. On the workspace menu that displays, select  
Shutdown.  
•
With the pointer in the IPS main window, select Shutdown  
System from the System Options menu.

3. In the System Shutdown Confirmation window, click Confirm.  
Figure 2-1. System Shutdown Confirmation window  
Caution: Shut down the Printer Controller only when no print  
jobs are running and the IPS is offline from the host.  
4. Power off the display monitor.  
5. Power off the printer.  
Note: Unless the IPS will remain powered off for an extended  
period, or is to be moved, it is not necessary to power off the  
printer. Powering off the processor also powers off the  
printer.  
6. Power off the Sun workstation processor.  
7. Power off the HCU (if operating in channel-attached mode).  
After a power outage  
If an unexpected power failure occurs, switch off the printer and all  
components of the Printer Controller. Switch the components back  
on only after power is restored. Take the printer offline as soon as  
possible.  
Caution: If you do not switch off all indicated components, a power  
surge may damage them when power is restored.  
If the power fails during printing, the print job is interrupted but not  
lost. Although data is not lost, you should take the printer offline as  
soon as possible to prevent data being sent before the printer is  
ready to receive it.  
To restart the system after an unexpected power failure, restart the  
system as described in the “Powering on the IPS system” section  
above.

STARTING AND STOPPING THE SYSTEM  
Communicating with the host computer  
An IPS is either channel-attached to a host computer or receiving  
data via TCP/IP over Ethernet or Token Ring. It receives data from  
the host in online mode. Before data can be sent to the printer, the  
host operator must issue commands to place the IPS online to the  
host.  
Placing the IPS online  
The IPS is placed online when the IPS software is loaded. This  
software is automatically loaded when the Printer Controller is  
powered on.  
If the printer has been taken offline, select Online from the System  
Options menu on the IPS main window.  
If the printer does not go online after the system has been booted,  
contact your service representative.  
Taking the IPS offline  
Select Offline from the System Options menu on the IPS main  
window.  
The printer continues to print the pages that remain in the buffer.  
If you want to resume printing, select Online from the System Options  
menu on the IPS main window.  
Printer status  
The default printer status is online and ready to print. The current  
status is displayed in the Control Unit Status field on the IPS main  
window.  
The IPS Print Engine Monitor window displays messages on the  
condition of the printer.

STARTING AND STOPPING THE SYSTEM  
Starting a print job  
Once the channel or communications system is enabled, the paper  
is loaded, trays are selected, and the printer is ready, the IPS system  
can receive print jobs. The host application can also release any  
queued jobs for printing.  
Caution: Be sure the IPS main window is displayed while printing  
from the host. Otherwise, the results are unpredictable.  
Follow these steps to start printing a job that has been sent from the  
host:  
1. Verify that the system is set up as required for the print job.  
2. Make any changes necessary to the system configuration using  
the procedures contained in this chapter.  
Jobs are printed in the order they are sent.  
Note: If you are printing samples, you must exit the Sample  
Printing window before you can print from the host.  
Stopping the printer  
At times, you may need to stop the printer while it is printing—for  
example, to check output or cancel a job. In addition to stopping a  
print job from the application at the host, you can stop printing in three  
ways:  
•
Pressing the red Stop button on the printer control console. This  
is the preferred method and stops the printing immediately.  
•
Clicking the red Stop button on the IPS main window.  
The printer continues to print the pages that remain in the buffer.  
Caution: If you select Offline during a duplex printing job, you  
might interrupt the job just after the front side of a duplex sheet is  
printed. Should this occur, the printer finishes with a blank reverse  
side. After the printing resumes, the corresponding back of the  
duplex page prints as a simplex sheet.  
Resuming printing

STARTING AND STOPPING THE SYSTEM  
Automatic print job recovery  
When a jam occurs, the Printer Controller performs a job recovery. In  
more severe conditions, the printer reinitiates a system status check.  
If HCU errors occur while printing over a channel, reboot the Sun  
workstation and the HCU. Job recovery restarts and resumes at the  
last checkpoint held by the host.  
Rebooting the Printer Controller  
To reboot your Printer Controller without powering it off, follow these  
steps:  
1. With the pointer in the desktop background area of the monitor  
screen (not in a window or on an icon), press the right mouse  
button to display the workspace pull-down menu.  
2. Select Restart.  
Exiting power saver mode  
If your IPS is left idle for a predetermined amount of time (set by your  
service representative at installation), the system goes into power  
saver mode and a screen-saver icon is displayed on an otherwise  
blank screen.  
•
Press any key to redisplay the monitor screen.  
•
Press the Continue button on the printer control console before  
sending jobs from the host. This notifies PSF that the printer is

Options or the TCP/IP Interface window. (Refer to the  
“Selecting channel interface” or the “Selecting TCP/IP interface”  
section later in this chapter.)  
Caution: Selecting the wrong interface for your equipment—  
that is, selecting TCP/IP for a system with an HCU enabled, or  
selecting Channel for a system without an HCU—can cause the  
parser to shut down, making the system unable to print. If this  
happens, you must reboot the Printer Controller, then change  
your interface selection.

SETTING UP THE PRINTER CONTROLLER  
Loading the IPS software license text string  
When an IPS system is purchased, the new owners must have a  
license authorizing them to use the IPS operating system software.  
Your license is obtained for you by your Xerox service  
representative, and must be enabled on the Printer Controller for  
your IPS to receive data from the host.  
For you to obtain authorization to use the IPS software, a licensed  
text string of 20 characters, provided by Xerox, must be entered at  
the Printer Controller. Initially, your license may be for 90 days. At the  
end of this period, you receive a “permanent” license.  
To obtain the license string from Xerox, follow the steps below to find  
out the host ID on the Sun.  
1. Open a Unix command tool, using this procedure:  
a. Click the right mouse button on the blue user interface  
screen background to display the workspace pull-down  
menu.  
b. Select Command Tool from the workspace menu.  
c. When the command tool window opens, click inside it with  
the left mouse button.  
2. Enter hostid to display your host ID.  
3. Contact Xerox with the host ID, and follow further instructions.  
Note: The license string entry procedure is performed only once,  
unless you receive a new license string, or load a new version of the  
IPS software.  
Any time you start the system before your software license is  
enabled, the Printer Controller boots up in Disabled mode. This  
means the IPS cannot receive data from the host and therefore  
cannot print. To enable printing, you must enter your license text  
string via windows accessed from the Administration pull-down  
menu.  
1. From the Administration pull-down menu, select IPS  
Authorization.  
Figure 3-10. Administration pull-down menu

2. On the Enter Expiration Date line, enter the license expiration  
date provided by your service representative. Make sure to  
enter the date exactly the way your service representative gives  
it to you (same number of characters, same letters in lower  
case, etc.) Any differences will cause your entry to be rejected.  
3. On the Enter License line, enter the 20-character license text  
string provided by your service representative (in upper case).  
Here is an example of a license string:  
CB1ED0F1D80EEE534335  
4. Click Apply when finished.  
Note: If a message pops up, indicating that an invalid license  
was entered, your license string text entry was not accepted.  
Repeat steps 1 through 4, making sure you are entering the  
string correctly—all uppercase letters, etc. If your license string  
is rejected again, consult your service representative.  
If your license string entry was valid, a message displays in the  
IPS Console window, indicating that the license was loaded.  
Your system will become authorized in about 30 seconds.  
Alternatively, you may load the license string from a diskette:  
1. Click the Get String from Diskette button. Make sure that the  
diskette containing the string is loaded in the diskette drive.  
2. Follow the screen prompts to load the license string.

Switching modes (Dual Mode)  
The Dual Mode printing option lets you switch back and forth  
between IPS and NPS modes on your Printer Controller. This allows  
your printer to accept IPDS, PostScript, and PCL data streams.  
When you are in IPS mode, you can spool PostScript and PCL data  
streams in the background; however, you can print these jobs only  
when you switch to NPS mode. When you are in NPS mode you  
cannot spool IPDS data streams in the background; you can print  
them only when you are in IPS mode.

SETTING THE SYSTEM CONFIGURATION  
Specifying the maximum simplex value  
This section describes the procedure for specifying the number of  
simplex pages that the system prints in duplex mode before clearing  
the paper path and switching to simplex mode. This capability allows  
you to switch between duplex and simplex mode within a single job,  
with less degradation to the throughput speed.  
When the IPS is printing in duplex mode and encounters a simplex  
page, the system may need to clear the paper path of all duplex  
sheets before changing to simplex mode. This clearing process may  
delay throughput. You can postpone this clearing process by printing  
simplex pages in duplex mode and specifying the number of pages,  
after which the system changes to simplex mode. Until the number of  
simplex pages you specify is sent, any simplex pages are printed in  
duplex mode with a blank page on the back, thus providing the  
appearance of simplex.  
Note: When you print simulated simplex, the blank back pages are  
counted as billable pages by the billing meter.  
Note: The print engine also performs simulated simplex  
independent of the IPS system controller. Blank back pages created  
by the print engine are not counted as billable pages by the billing  
meter. The print engine performs simulated simplex when the job  
changes plex every six pages or less.  
To specify the maximum number of simplex pages to be printed in  
duplex mode:  
1. From the Configuration menu, select Maximum Simplex. The  
Maximum Simplex window displays.  
Figure 4-3. Maximum Simplex window  
2. Enter the value for the maximum number of simplex pages you  
want printed in duplex mode and press <ENTER>, or click the  
arrows to select the value. The range of values is 0 to 20 pages.  
The default is 10; the recommended value is 10.

4-7  
SETTING THE SYSTEM CONFIGURATION  
For jobs that contain such high frequency of plex changes, it is  
recommended that the Maximum Simplex value be set to 0.  
This allows the print engine to perform simulated simplex  
without charging for the blank pages.  
Note: Ideally, this value should be set to the number of dead cycles  
required to clear the printer’s paper path.  
3. Click Apply.  
Rotating the page origin  
If you want to print a job that was designed for a continuous forms  
printer, you can enable the job to print on the cut-sheet IPS printer by  
rotating its page origin 90 degrees. When you do this, the IPS  
emulates a continuous forms printer while printing on cut sheets.  
Example: Suppose you wanted to print a continuous forms job  
designed for 17 by 11-inch (or possibly A3) paper on your IPS, which  
uses cut sheets.  
•
•
The page or text origin is always in the upper-left corner of the  
printed page.  
For continuous forms printing, the longest edge (17 inches)  
is the top edge. (See the illustration below.)  
For cut-sheet printing, the short edge (11 inches) is the top  
edge. (See the illustration below.)  
For the page to print correctly in portrait orientation on the IPS cut  
sheets, its text origin must be rotated 90o, via the Continuous Forms  
Emulation window.

pull-down menu.  
2. On the Optional Processing Parameters screen (refer to the  
next page for an illustration), identify the parameters you want  
to set.  
•
•
Number of imagers — Specifies how many imagers to run.  
An imager should be added for each CPU on the system.  
Trace drawing commands — Enables or disables tracing  
of the IPDS commands sent from PSF. These commands  
result in drawing commands for the imagers.  
Checking this option will degrade performance.  
•
•
Ignore black areas — Enables or disables the WCB option.  
This option removes large areas of black from IM images to  
save printer consumables.  
Use replicate and trim — Enables or disables the  
Replicate and Trim option. This option is used to image  
large areas by using a small area pattern supplied by the  
host, and replicate the pattern to fill the large area in a tiling  
manner. Enabling this option reduces the transmission time  
for image data from PSF to the IPS printer. By default, this  
parameter should be enabled.  
•
•
Use alternate printer model number — Specifies the  
printer model sent by the IPS printer to PSF during a Sense  
Type and Model (STM) response. The model number must  
consist of four numeric characters.  
Alternate Markform — Enables or disables the Alternate  
Markform option. This option prints a printer specific mark  
on the end banner sheets. Enabling this option results in a  
Xerox logo. By default, this parameter is set to print a black  
bar on the end banner sheets.  
•
Apply darkening — Enables or disables the darkening  
option. This option uses a pixel-doubling algorithm.  
3. For each parameter, select the checkbox and enter the  
information on the right, if applicable.  
4. When all parameters are set, click Apply.

stream) into the trace file.  
Note: This option displays only if “Channel” was  
selected from the Interface window. (Refer to the  
“Setting up the Printer Controller” chapter.)  
—
IPDS & TCP/IP — Specifies that the trace will capture  
the TCP\IP commands (exchanged among the host  
and the printer and the IPDS data stream) into the  
trace file.  
Note: This option displays only if “TCP/IP” was  
selected from the Interface window. (Refer to the  
“Setting up the Printer Controller” chapter.)

Printing a trace file  
You can print a trace file using the conprt utility as follows:  
1. After capturing the trace and verifying its effects by using the  
“Execute trace” option from the Trace Mode pull-down list, open  
a Unix command tool.  
2. Change the working directory by entering:  
cd /var/db  
3. Process the trace file using the ipdeb utility by entering:  
ipdeb trace > trace_debug (for uncompressed files) or  
ipdeb trace.Z > trace_debug (for compressed files)  
This creates the file trace_debug that will be an English  
rendition of the hex data.  
Note: The ipdeb utility supplies default values for those  
parameters that are not supplied. The defaults are:  
•
•
•
Paper size: USLetter (8.5 by 11-inch)  
Resolution: -r 300  
Directory: current directory.  
To print a file from a directory other than the current directory,  
specify the directory as a separate field following the file  
name.  
4. To print the trace file on a DocuPrint 4050/4090 IPS in duplex,  
enter:  
conprt -d trace_debug [/var/db]  
where /var/db is the directory, and is optional.  
Note: The conprt utility automatically specifies mono for the -c  
option.  
Note: If you are using a paper size other than USLetter (8.5 by  
11-inch), specify the dimensions of the paper in pels by using the  
-x option. For example, for A4 paper on a DocuPrint 4050/4090  
IPS enter:  
conprt -d -x 3520x2480 trace_debug [/var/db]  
Note: Do not use the conprt utility with large files because  
each page of a text file requires about 1 MB of disk space.

SETTING THE SYSTEM CONFIGURATION  
Specifying the input configuration  
This section describes the procedures for creating, changing, and  
deleting input tray configurations; selecting the feeder tray(s) for a  
job; and indicating the media (stock) that is loaded in each feeder  
tray. (For an explanation of the buttons on these windows, refer to the  
“Buttons” section in the “Introduction to the graphical user interface”  
chapter.)  
When you specify the input configuration, you associate one or more  
feeder trays with each IPDS tray that is called for in a print job. The  
printer then feeds paper from all the printer trays specified for a given  
IPDS tray. It stops and requests more paper only when all those trays  
are empty.  
You can create input configurations by organizing the stocks you will  
use in a certain application or set of applications into unique groups  
with different paper trays. This allows the host to access different  
paper stock from each tray.  
Note: When configuring feeder groups, the printer feeds from any  
of the feeder trays in the group, with no particular order to follow. In  
other words, the printer will not necessarily start with the lowest  
numbered tray in the group.  
By placing media icons in the IPDS and Printer Tray cells on the Input  
Configuration window, you communicate to the printer which feeder  
trays to use for each IPDS tray the data stream specifies. At the same  
time, you are setting up the Main window input section to display the  
stock loaded in each printer tray.  
4-26

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
SETTING THE SYSTEM CONFIGURATION  
Example of an input configuration  
Here is an example of a hypothetical input configuration you might  
create:  
You have an application in which only IPDS trays 1 and 2 are called  
out, with most of the job calling for IPDS tray 1. The media you will  
be using are 20-pound white USLetter and 60-pound blue USLetter.  
You have a high-capacity feeder and would like to use all four  
available trays.  
To accomplish this, you could create a configuration like this:  
•
•
•
In the IPDS Trays row, specify the 20-pound white stock in the  
IPDS Tray 1 cell and the 60-pound blue in the IPDS Tray 2 cell.  
In the Printer Trays row, specify the 20-pound white paper in the  
cells for Printer Trays 1, 3, and 4.  
Specify the 60-pound blue paper in the Printer Tray 2 cell only,  
because a relatively small amount of that stock will be required.  
The following figure shows the configuration described above.  
Figure 4-16. Example of an input configuration, displayed on  
the IPS main window  
By invoking this configuration, you ensure your job will print as  
follows (be sure the physical printer trays actually contain the stock  
you specified):  
•
The IPS will feed from printer tray 1 for all parts of the job in  
which IPDS tray 1 is specified in the data stream. These pages  
will be printed on the 20-pound white paper.

4-27  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
SETTING THE SYSTEM CONFIGURATION  
•
•
When tray 1 is empty, feeding will switch to tray 3, then tray 4,  
without any intervention from the operator. Printing will not stop  
until trays 1, 3, and 4 are empty. (These pages will continue to  
be printed on the 20-pound white paper.)  
For those parts of the job in which IPDS tray 2 is specified,  
feeding switches to printer tray 2. Those pages will be printed  
on the 60-pound blue card stock.  
Selecting simplex or duplex printing  
The 4050/4090 IPS allow you to switch from simplex to duplex  
printing (or vice versa) within and between print jobs.  
Duplex or mixed plex jobs need to be printed from IPDS trays with  
duplex icons. Jobs that need to print in simplex only, such as label  
stock or transparencies, should be printed from IPDS trays with  
simplex icons. Refer to the section “Creating a media icon” later in  
this chapter for information on how to create simplex and duplex  
printing icons.  
To specify simplex or duplex printing, select an IPDS tray with the  
appropriate media icon, as shown below.  
Figure 4-17. Single (simplex) media icon

SETTING THE SYSTEM CONFIGURATION  
Setting up margin values  
The IPS software allows you to save multiple margin settings by  
making the margin values part of the attributes of the IPDS trays.  
Also, each IPDS tray can be defined with different margin values.  
To set the margin values of an IPDS tray, follow these steps:  
1. In the Input Configuration section of the main window, select the  
input configuration of your choice using the default pull-down  
menu.

7. Click Quit.  
8. From the Input Configuration window, click Apply and Save.  
9. From the Input Configuration window, click Quit.  
Setting up the Media Library  
The Media Library is a virtual representation of the stocks (media)  
that you have available for loading in your IPS feeder trays. To create  
an input tray configuration, you copy (by dragging and dropping)  
media icons from this Library to the tray cells on the Input  
Configuration window. When you place icons for the same stock in  
an IPDS tray cell and a printer tray cell, the IPDS and printer trays are  
automatically mapped together.  
When your IPS is first installed, your Xerox representative assists  
you in placing media icons in the Media Library for the stocks that you  
need for what will be your Default input configuration. If you will be  
using stocks in addition to those already in your Media Library, you  
must add them. You can create icons representing standard sizes,  
weights, form types (3-hole, etc.), and colors of stocks. In addition,  
you can create customized icons for non-standard media.

Changing a media icon  
To change or edit a media icon in your Media Library, follow these  
steps:  
1. Access the Media Library window. For the procedure, refer to  
the “Creating a media icon” section earlier in this chapter.  
2. On the Media Library window, do one of the following:  
•
•
Double-click the media icon you want to change, or  
Single-click the icon to be changed (a white box displays  
around the selected icon), then click the Edit button.  
3. On the Media Type window, make any desired changes to the  
selected icon’s parameter fields. The changes you make are  
reflected in the display box at the bottom of the Media Type  
window. For an illustration of the window and explanation of the  
fields on it, refer to the “Creating a media icon” section earlier in  
this chapter.  
4. Click Apply to save your changes. The selected icon displays in  
the Media Library with the revisions you made.  
Deleting a media icon  
To delete a media icon from the Media Library:  
1. Access the Media Library window. For the procedure, refer to  
the “Creating a media icon” section earlier in this chapter.  
2. On the Media Library window, click the media icon you want to  
delete.  
3. Click the Delete button at the top of the window. A confirmation  
window displays.  
4. Click OK. The selected media icon is removed from the Media  
Library.  
Editing the media defaults  
A set of default media attributes (size, weight, form type, and color)  
is established at installation by you or your Xerox representative,  
based on your printing requirements.  
These default media attributes serve two purposes:  
•
When you open the Media Type window, the default attribute  
values (size, form type, weight, and color) appear in the various  
fields.  
•
If you load a stock that is not the size specified in the current  
input configuration, the IPS detects this when it checks the  
feeder tray adjustment. It does not have a way to identify the  
other attributes (form type, weight, and color); therefore, it  
assumes the default values for these attributes.  
A message window displays, stating that the configuration has  
changed. You may then either accept this assumed input  
configuration or manually change it.  
You are able to edit the default media attributes in much the same  
way you would edit any media icon.

4. In the Printer Trays field (second row of boxes) on the Input  
Configuration window, specify the media that has been or will  
be loaded in the printer feeder trays.  
Printer Trays field: This field consists of a row of boxes called  
“tray cells,” each of which represents one of the printer’s feeder  
trays. The number above each tray cell is the tray’s identification  
number. (The number of tray cells in this field is the number of  
input trays your IPS has.)  
Any printer tray for which a particular stock has been identified  
displays a media icon in its tray cell. A media icon graphically  
represents a stock, showing its size, weight, form type, and  
color.

SETTING THE SYSTEM CONFIGURATION  
Figure 4-29. Tray cells section of a sample input configuration  
Example: In the example shown above, the cells for printer  
trays 1, 2, 3, and 4 all contain media icons for 20-pound white  
USLetter (8.5 by 11-inch) paper. Tray 5 is configured with 20-  
pound green three-hole USLetter paper, and tray 6 has 110-  
pound goldenrod USLetter card stock.  
To set up the printer tray cells: Place the media icons for the  
stocks that will be loaded in the printer in the cells in the Printer  
Trays row. Follow these steps for each tray you are configuring:  
a. On the Media Library window, position the cursor over the  
media icon you are selecting for that tray.  
b. Holding down the left mouse button, drag the icon to the IPS  
Configuration window and to the printer tray cell where you  
want it, then release the mouse button (“drag and drop”).  
•
•
•
If you drag an icon to an empty cell, that icon is copied  
into that cell.  
If you drag an icon to a cell that already contains an  
icon, the icon you drag replaces the one that was there.  
To delete an icon from a cell and leave the cell empty,  
drag the icon to the “Trash Bin,” located to the right of  
the Printer Tray cells.  
You may drag and drop media icons from three places:  
•
The Media Library: Drag any icon from the Media  
Library window to a destination tray cell on the IPS  
Input Configuration window.

•
Other tray cells: Drag a media icon from any other  
IPDS or Printer Tray cell on the IPS Input Configuration  
window.  
The Create or Edit Media Library windows: You can  
drag the icon displayed in the viewing box at the bottom  
of the window to any tray cell on the Input Configuration  
window.  
c. Repeat this procedure for all printer tray cells you want to  
fill.  
d. When finished, click the Dismiss button on the Media  
Library to close it.  
5. In the “IPDS Trays” field (top row of boxes), place a media icon  
in each IPDS tray that is called out in the print job, to map it to  
the printer tray containing the media on which you want that  
part of the job to print.  
IPDS Trays field: This field consists of a row of eight tray cells,  
each of which represents an input tray that a job might specify.  
Mapping IPDS input trays: By placing copies of the same  
media icon in a printer tray cell and an IPDS tray cell, you map  
that IPDS tray to that printer tray. Then, when the job calls out  
that IPDS tray, paper feeds from the printer tray to which it is  
mapped.  
•
•
The media icon in each IPDS tray cell represents the stock  
in the printer tray to which that IPDS tray is mapped.  
The number(s) below each tray cell indicate the printer trays  
to which the IPDS tray has been mapped.  
Note: When a print job calls for paper sizes that span over  
different pitch modes, the software will either cycle down or run  
at a lower pitch mode, based on the different pitch modes  
required, the paper sizes called for, the speed of the printer, and  
the time it takes to shut down the printer.  
Therefore, map the IPDS trays based on your needs; Do not  
place media icons in the IPDS cells if your job does not require  
it.

SETTING THE SYSTEM CONFIGURATION  
Figure 4-30. Tray cells section of a sample input configuration  
Example: In the example shown above, IPDS trays 1, 2, 3, and  
4 are all mapped to printer trays 1 and 2. Note that under each  
of these four IPDS tray cells you see the printer tray numbers  
(1,2), to which the IPDS tray is mapped. This means that paper  
for all parts of the print job in which tray 1 is specified by the  
IPDS data stream will feed from feeder tray 1. When printer tray  
1 is empty, feeding will automatically switch to printer tray 2.  
Printing will not stop until both printer trays are empty. (The  
same thing will happen for parts of the job calling for IPDS tray  
2, 3, or 4, because all of them are also mapped to printer trays 1  
and 2 for this configuration.)  
The paper that should be loaded in printer trays 1 and 2 is 20-  
pound white USLetter, as indicated by the media icons in each  
printer tray cell. This means that all parts of the job in which tray  
1, 2, 3, or 4 is specified in the data stream will print on 20-pound  
white USLetter (provided this paper is loaded in the physical  
printer trays that have been mapped to IPDS trays 1 through 4).  
Any parts of the job that call out IPDS tray 5 will print on the  
three-hole green paper, which is specified for printer tray 3, to  
which IPDS tray 5 is mapped. (This might be section dividers in  
the document.) IPDS tray 6 is mapped to printer tray 4, so the  
job parts calling out tray 6 (possibly the front and back covers of  
the document) will print on the 110-pound goldenrod card stock.

SETTING THE SYSTEM CONFIGURATION  
To set up the IPDS tray cells: In each IPDS tray cell, place the  
same media icon that is in the cell for the printer tray to which  
you want to map that IPDS tray. Follow these steps for each  
IPDS tray you are mapping:  
a. On the Input Configuration screen, drag the media icon from  
the printer tray cell to the IPDS tray cell you want to map to  
it. The media icon is copied into the IPDS tray cell where  
you release the mouse button.  
b. Repeat step a for each IPDS tray called out in the print job.  
Note: The display of eight IPDS tray cells means eight IPDS  
trays are reported to the host when the printer is started. Any  
IPDS tray not containing a media icon is flagged to the host as  
“disabled.” If a job calls out an IPDS tray marked disabled, PSF  
on the host substitutes one of the available trays (those  
containing media icons), and displays an error message.

SETTING THE SYSTEM CONFIGURATION  
Correcting a feeder tray mismatch error  
When a feeder tray is adjusted for a certain size paper, the system  
senses that adjustment. (Other stock attributes, such as weight,  
color, and form type, are not sensed.) The IPS also reads the input  
configuration, which informs it of what size paper should be loaded in  
any particular tray.  
A feeder tray mismatch error is signaled when the IPS detects that  
the paper being specified in the current input configuration for a  
particular printer tray is not the same size as the paper actually  
loaded in that physical tray.  
When you click Apply & Save to implement the configuration, an error  
message window displays, giving the number of the printer tray, the  
media size that is loaded in it, and the size paper that was specified  
for it in its corresponding tray cell. The Input Configuration window  
remains open and the configuration you are working on is not  
updated.  
Figure 4-35. Feeder tray mismatch error message  
If a tray mismatch error occurs, follow these steps:  
1. Click OK to close the message window and unlock the screen.  
2. On the Input Configuration window, do one of the following:  
•
In the mismatched printer tray cell, place a media icon that  
matches the paper already loaded in the printer.  
•
Replace the paper in the physical tray with stock of the size  
specified in your input configuration.  
3. Click Apply & Save. If there are no more mismatches, the Input  
Configuration window closes and your configuration is updated  
and applied.  
4. If there are additional mismatches, or the first one still has not  
been fixed, the Mismatch error message window redisplays and  
the Input Configuration window remains open. Repeat steps 1  
through 3 until all mismatches are corrected and the Input  
Configuration window remains closed.

SETTING THE SYSTEM CONFIGURATION  
Specifying the output configuration  
This section describes the procedures you use to specify output tray  
configurations for your system. (For an explanation of the buttons on  
these windows, refer to the “Buttons” section in the “Introduction to  
the graphical user interface” section.)  
When you specify the output configuration, you specify one or more  
stacker trays for each IPDS output bin specified in a print job. The  
printer delivers the printed output to the trays specified for a given  
IPDS bin; it stops and notifies you to unload output only when all  
those trays are full.  
Note: When configuring stacker groups, the printer feeds from any  
of the stackers in the group, with no particular order to follow. In other  
words, the printer will not necessarily start with the lowest numbered  
stacker in the group.  
The ability to configure multiple output trays to receive a print job  
greatly reduces interruptions for unloading output.

SETTING THE SYSTEM CONFIGURATION  
Example of an output configuration  
In the Output Configuration section of the main window, the  
horizontal rows of icons represent the IPDS bins specified in the job  
as the output destination. The vertical columns represent the actual  
printer bins to which output will be delivered.  
When a bin has been selected as part of the configuration, it displays  
bolded on the screen. By looking at the printer bin number or letter at  
the top of the column above each bolded icon, and at the IPDS bin  
number at the beginning of the row beside the same bolded icon, you  
can see which IPDS bins have been mapped to which printer bins.  
Following is an example of an output configuration.  
Figure 4-36. Example of an output configuration, displayed on  
the IPS main window  
In the illustration above, IPDS bin row 2 has the stacker icon in the  
Printer Bin column 1 bolded. This shows that IPDS bin 2 has been  
mapped to printer output bin (stacker tray) 1. Therefore, all parts of  
the job for which IPDS bin 2 is called out will be delivered to stacker  
tray 1. When stacker 1is full, printing will stop until it is emptied.  
Because IPDS bin 1 is permanently mapped to the printer sample  
tray, its row contains only the short sample tray icon, bolded.  
Note: To avoid all output going to the sample tray (bin 1), make  
bin 2 as your default.

IPDS bin called out in the job to the stacker(s) that will receive  
the parts of the job in which that IPDS bin is specified.  
•
•
IPDS Bins — Each (horizontal) row of rectangular buttons  
represents an IPDS bin called out in the job.  
Stackers — Each (vertical) column of bin buttons  
represents one of your IPS printer’s stacker bins/trays.  
To map IPDS bins to printer stacker bins: In each IPDS bin  
row, click the button for the physical printer bin that you want to  
receive the parts of the job calling for that IPDS bin. You may  
select more than one printer button in each row.  
Note: In the illustration below, you can see that the IPDS Bins  
row 1 does not contain any selectable bin buttons—only a  
sample tray specification. IPDS bin 1 is coded in the software to  
be mapped to the sample tray; you are not able to change this  
part of the output configuration. All parts of any print job in which  
the data stream calls for IPDS bin 1 are delivered to the sample
