Two-Stage Resource-Based Scheduling

Additional PCL Paper Sources

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)
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.
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.
