Playing Back A Trace; Using Debug Mode - Xerox DocuPrint 100MX User Manual

IPS Gateway User's Guide (5/2002)

Playing back a trace

Playback Trace allows you to playback a trace file previously captured
and print that trace as if it is being received from the host. This option is
used during installation verification or by Xerox personnel when
performing problem determination and resolution.
To play back a trace:
Step 1. Drain the printer at the host.
Step 2. Select the Diagnostics tab on the IPS Gateway window.
Step 3. In the Directory area, select the /var/db/ipdstraces directory or the
directory where the trace is located.
Step 4. Select an existing file in the Files box or enter an existing file name in the
Trace File Selection field at the bottom of the window.
Step 5. Click Playback Trace. On the IPS Gateway window, the message
"Ripping Trace..." appears in the IPDS message area and "Playback
Trace" appears in the trace message area.
If the playback trace is successful, the message "Ripping Trace
Complete... Job Queued for Printing" appears in the IPDS message area.
If the playback is not successful, "Ripping of Trace Complete... Trace
Ended with Error" appears.
Step 6. Click Tracing OFF on the Diagnostics tab.

Using Debug mode

The Debug option writes additional information to the IPS Gateway log
files while an IPDS data stream is being processed by IPS Gateway.
These messages are usually indications of the IPDS command currently
being processed and are helpful with problem determination.
To start debug mode:
Step 1. Select the Diagnostics tab.
Step 2. Select Debug On to enable the debug function.
Step 3. Reset IPS Gateway by clicking System>Reset IPDS on the IPS Gateway
window.
Step 4. Submit your job from the host.
Step 5. When the desired data is received, select Debug Off to disable the debug
function.
Step 6. Reset IPS Gateway by clicking System>Reset IPDS on the IPS Gateway
window.
