DOCUPRINT IPS LIMITATIONS

N-UP Processing

N-UP jobs are processed in segments based on the number of images per page, which varies based upon the N-UP settings of each job. Because of this multiple page processing, the “Pages Outstanding” counter on the status menu will increment in segments and not on a sheet-by-sheet basis, as in single page jobs.

This behavior is working as designed for the N-UP job type.

Printing preprinted forms loaded face down

Unlike the IBM 3828 printer, the DocuPrint 96 MICR, 4635 MICR, and 180 MICR IPS currently does not support printing of pre-printed or pre-numbered forms that are loaded face down in reverse order (in other words, page 1 is on top but is face down).

Shading

When you print a document that contains shaded IM images at 240 dpi to a printer with 300 dpi resolution, PSF converts the image object from an IM image to an IOCA image. As a result, the shading may appear differently. You should either recreate or rescan the image at 300 dpi to get the correct shading values.

If your document contains shaded objects created via an overlay creation tool, you may have to adjust the level of shading via that tool.

Printing documents created in WordPerfect

PSF does not allow you to print documents directly from WordPerfect. However, you may convert the source WordPerfect document to AFP format. Some conversion tools are:

AFP driver (from WordPerfect)

Graphics Commander (by Image Sciences, Inc.)

AFP Windows Print Driver (IBM).

Jam recovery for ordered/tab stock

Ordered stocks are sheets of paper stacked in the input paper tray in an ordered manner. Two typical uses of ordered stocks are:

•colored paper (ordered by color, such as red, green, blue, red, green, blue, and so on)

•tab stocks (ordered by printed tab positions on the sheets of paper, such as first tab, second tab, third tab, first tab, second tab, third tab, and so on).

A typical advantage with ordered stocks is jam recovery. For example, when a jam occurs, the DocuPrint 180 IPS, DocuPrint 4635 IPS, and DocuPrint 96 MICR, 4635 MICR, and 180 MICR IPS would need to purge sheets up to the sheet before the jam occurred. Using the colored paper example, if the jam occurs on the green sheet (at this point the IOT already has blue, red, green, blue, red and green in its paper path), the DocuPrint 180 IPS, DocuPrint 4635 IPS, and DocuPrint 96 MICR, 4635 MICR, and 180 MICR IPS would need to purge the blue and red sheets so that it could feed the green sheet when all jams have been cleared. This type of jam recovery is currently not supported on the DocuPrint IPS printers.
