What is the Xerox DocuPrintEnterprise Printing System?Your Xerox DocuPrint Enterprise Printing System is a high-speed production printer with many features you can use toenhance your documents. You can set up your job to:• Use up to six different paper stocks in the same job(depending on the number of paper trays in your printer).• Use a wide variety of stock sizes, types, and weights:– From 8 x 10" / 203 x 254 mm to 11 x 17" / A3– 7 x 10" / 178 x 254 mm with small paper kit installed– Ordered stock, preprinted stock, tab stock• Include different sizes and types of paper in the same job.• Take advantage of high-quality 600 dpi output withEnhanced Resolution Imaging, where even fonts as smallas 3 points are sharp and crisp.• Print 1-sided, 2-sided, or head-to-toe 2-sided.• Use resident PostScript and PCL fonts as well asdownloaded fonts.Types of files you can printThe types of files you can submit from a workstation forprinting on the Xerox DocuPrint Enterprise Printing Systemare:• PostScript 3.0• PCL 5e• TIFF• PDF• ASCIIHow to create print filesApplication files are not in a print format like PostScript or PCL5e, but are in the format of the creation application (forexample, database or publishing software). To print your job,your software must generate a file that the printer canprocess. There are two ways to do this.• Create a print file, then submit it.From the application, use a PostScript or PCL driver toprint to file; the result is referred to as a "print file."Submit the print file, for example, with lpr or FreeFlowPrint Manager.• Print directly from the application.Print from the application using a driver that allows you toprint to a Xerox DocuPrint Enterprise Printing System.This procedure transparently generates a print file andsubmits it to the Xerox DocuPrint Enterprise PrintingSystem.You might want to use a separate process to create a print file(instead of printing from your application) if you want to createa print file that you can submit repeatedly. Or you may need togive the print file to someone else for printing, and that personmay not have the original application software.To create a print file and submit it to the printer, you must setup your workstation's printing facility. Consult your applicationdocumentation or system administrator.Submitting a jobThere are several methods for submitting a job, depending onthe type of workstation you have. Xerox provides customizedprint drivers for your specific printer. This software is usuallyshipped with the printer.When you submit the job, you specify the way you want the jobto print, for example, 50 copies, two-sided, on blue drilledpaper. The set of parameters you specify is referred to as a“job ticket.”How do you know what paper isloaded?If the type of paper you request for your job is not loaded in theprinter when you send your job, the job will wait until that paperis available. The operator will check for jobs that are waitingfor a particular stock. After the required stock is loaded, the jobwill print.Using a queueWhen you submit a job, you submit it to a particular queue.Your organization can use queues to manage jobs. A queuecan be used to:• Give operators control over when to accept jobs from thenetwork.• Give operators control over when to release jobs to theprinter.• Apply default parameters (like 1- or 2-sided printing).• Override parameters you specified for your job.The queue override means that the property defined in thequeue will be applied to your job, even if you specified adifferent value for the property. For example, if the job has aproperty that specifies 1-sided printing, and the queuespecifies 2-sided printing, and the override is enabled, thenthe job will print 2-sided.In short, the way a queue is defined can affect how and whenthe job prints. You should be aware of what queues areavailable for your printer, and what parameters they use.What determines how your jobprints?There are several factors that can affect how your job prints.• The method you use to create it, that is, the driver used tocreate the PostScript or PCL print file.• The way you send it, for example, if you use a driver orFreeFlow Print Manager.• The printing parameters you specify (type of paper,number of copies, and so on) when you submit the job.• The settings for the queue you send the job to, andwhether or not overrides are used.• Whether the operator changes the job's properties.• Whether the type of paper defined for a particular tray isactually in that tray. Consider an example. You want yourjob to print on white paper and you specify that when yousend the job. If there is a paper tray defined as havingwhite paper, but there is really blue paper in the tray, thejob will print on the blue paper because the system“thinks” it is white.Saving a jobWhen you submit your job, you can request that the job besaved at the controller. This means that you or the operatormay use the Print Services capability to print this job ondemand. A saved job is held in print-ready format, and theinitial job ticket is also saved for you to use as needed. Youmay also use a saved job as a form over which you maymerge variable data.The procedure for saving the job depends on the jobsubmission method you use. A queue can also be configuredto save jobs sent to it.Using a saved filePrint Services allows you to reprint a job that has been savedto the controller. When the job is saved, its job ticket is savedas well. You may use the parameters in the job ticket, orchange them as needed.
