4635 LPS software

4.	4635 LPS software
	components

This chapter describes the software components associated with the 4635 Laser Printing System (LPS). The major topics are as follows:

·LPS operating system

·Operating System Software (OSS) functional description

·Optional host-resident software packages.

LPS operating system

The 4635 System Software consists of the Xerox OSS, System User Interface (UI) Software, User Interface Dialog, and the Printer Software. The OSS is the primary software; however, each software type working in conjunction controls and monitors the operation of your 4635 LPS.

The LPS OSS, like any other operating system, is a set of programs which allow the printing system to manage its own resources. Xerox distributes new versions of the 4635 OSS on 9- track, 18-track cartridge, or quarter-inch cartridge tape. The OSS tape contains:

·New system files

·A system generation processor program that is used to load the new system files onto the system disks and configure them for a particular system

·A concatenated version of the system files and system generation processor which is used for performing an online system generation (wherein the processor and files are downloaded to the printing system from a host computer)

·Patch files which are used to modify the new system files for optimal performance.

Refer to the ªSystem software functional descriptionº section of this chapter for more details on OSS contents.

The process by which the OSS is installed, upgraded, or modified is called system generation or sysgen. There are three types of sysgens that can be performed: mini, update, or full.

·In a mini sysgen, an existing operating system is modified in a way that does not require new system file input or patching. For example, an existing feature is deactivated or reactivated, or a specification is changed that is independent of the operating system files.

·In an update sysgen, an existing operating system is upgraded to include new features or is replaced with a new version of the system.
