3.Using the XDS Plus software

This chapter contains the procedures for accessing the XDS Plus software on a Xerox printing system from your computer running Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows Millennium, XP, a Sun workstation that is running Solaris 2.6 or 2.8, or from a Macintosh that is running OS X. The Xerox Document Submission Plus (XDS Plus) software provides you with windows you use to select a document file, to set up the job ticket, and to submit your print job to the printer.

Prerequisites

You must satisfy the following prerequisites before you use the

XDS Plus software:

•Make sure that the Microsoft Windows, Sun Solaris, or Macintosh software is installed on your workstation. If the software is installed as a shared copy on your network server, contact your system administrator. The XDS Plus software runs correctly only when installed on your workstation.

•Know how to use the tools in Windows, Solaris, or Macintosh to connect to the network disk drives or to disconnect from the drives to which you are currently connected.

•Make sure that the XDS Plus software is installed on your workstation. Refer to the “Installation Guide” for the procedures.

•Know how to save your document as a PDL format file by using the print-to-file method; or know how to create a valid TIFF, PDF, or ASCII file.
