DocuPrint and DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS client overview
1-2 Guide to Submitting Jobs from the Client
Document attributes
When submitting jobs to a DocuPrint or DocuColor 2060 NPS/
IPS, you need to know how the system handles jobs so that you
can be sure to get the expected output.
The NPS/IPS processes jobs based on document attributes. An
attribute is a piece of information about a job, such as printing
requirements. Examples of document attributes are number of
copies or type of paper.
Each job has an associated set of attributes, some of which are
required, while others are optional. If a required attribute is
missing for a given job, a system default setting is used.
Attribute values can be assigned by:
• A job ticket from Xerox client software, set by an end user at a
workstation
• A job submission protocol, such as
lpr
options, set by an end
user at a workstation
• Virtual printers, set by the printer controller
• DSC, set in the job by a driver from an end user workstation
• System defaults, set at the printer controller as defined by an
administrator.
Conflicting values set by the different sources are resolved
through an order of precedence. The list above is from the
highest to the lowest level of precedence. For example, if the job
ticket and the default attributes conflict, the job ticket attributes
will take precedence.
NOTE: Attributes may be called different names, depending on
the source used to assign them. For example,” map color” is an
NPS/IPS attribute name, but you assign this attribute using the
“extraction color” command in the Xerox client software. In both
cases, it is the attribute that is used to specify the colored parts
of the document that convert to the available highlight color.
Users, operators, and administrators may view document
attributes at the printer controller or by using remote access. The
amount of information available about job attributes depends on
the access level.
