DocuPrint and DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS client overview
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.
