System Guide Hints and Tips
Common Controller 10-7
2. The user could pause the printer (the green button on the
DocuSP GUI) until a large number of pages in the job have
been RIPped. If the user then resumes the printer at the
right time (some time before the whole job is RIPped), the
print engine will print all of the queued pages and the
controller will simultaneously finish ripping the remainder of
the job. To do this successfully, the user will need to watch
and compute the rate that DocuSP is ripping at. If you know
how many pages are in the job, then knowing that the printer
will generate paper at 60 ppm, you can compute how far from
the end of the job to release the printer so that RIP and print
finish at the same time.
PCI Channel Interface PWB Trace Capture Procedure

Software Engineering or as part of a SPAR package.
Perform a Trace
To start the trace, perform the following:
1. Login as Administrator.
2. Select [System - Online Manager].
3. Select:
• Channel Gateway - Enable
• Input Device - Online
• Input Control - Start
4. Submit a job from the host.

Input Control - End.
6. Open a Terminal window.
7. Type cd /opt/XRXnps/XRXgrpset/bin and press <Enter>.
8. Type ./dspTrc > FileName.txt and press <Enter>.
9. Type ls -l and press <Enter> to see the new file and the file
