This chapter describes the software components associated with the
Xerox DocuPrint 180 Laser Printing System (LPS). The major topics
are as follows:
•
DocuPrint 180 LPS operating system
•
Operating System Software (OSS) functional description
•
Optional host-resident software packages.
The Xerox DocuPrint 180 LPS System Software consists of the
Xerox OSS, System User Interface (UI) Software, User Interface
Dialog, and the Printer Software. The OSS is the primary software;
however, each software type working in conjunction controls and
monitors the operation of your Xerox DocuPrint 180 LPS.
The DocuPrint 180 LPS OSS, like any other operating system, is a
set of programs which allow the printing system to manage its own
resources. Xerox distributes new versions of the Xerox DocuPrint
180 LPS OSS on a quarter-inch cartridge tape. The OSS tape
contains:
•
New system files
•
A system generation processor program that is used to load the
new system files onto the system disks and configure them for
a particular system
•
A concatenated version of the system files and system
generation processor which is used for performing an online
system generation (wherein the processor and files are
downloaded to the printing system from a host computer)
•
Patch files which are used to modify the new system files for
optimal performance.
Refer to the "System software functional description" chapter for
more details on OSS contents.
The process by which the OSS is installed, upgraded, or modified is
called system generation or sysgen. There are three types of
sysgens that can be performed: mini, update, or full.
