Setting optional processing parameters

SETTING THE SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

Setting optional processing parameters

You can set processing parameters for your system as follows:

1.Select Optional Processing Parameters from the Configuration pull-down menu.

2.On the Optional Processing Parameters screen (refer to the next page for an illustration), identify the parameters you want to set.

•

•

•

Number of imagers — Specifies how many imagers to run. An imager should be added for each CPU on the system.

Trace drawing commands — Enables or disables tracing of the IPDS commands sent from PSF. These commands result in drawing commands for the imagers.

Checking this option will degrade performance.

Ignore black areas — Enables or disables the WCB option. This option removes large areas of black from IM images to save printer consumables.

•

•

•

•

Use replicate and trim — Enables or disables the Replicate and Trim option. This option is used to image large areas by using a small area pattern supplied by the host, and replicate the pattern to fill the large area in a tiling manner. Enabling this option reduces the transmission time for image data from PSF to the IPS printer. By default, this parameter should be enabled.

Use alternate printer model number — Specifies the printer model sent by the IPS printer to PSF during a Sense Type and Model (STM) response. The model number must consist of four numeric characters.

Alternate Markform — Enables or disables the Alternate Markform option. This option prints a printer specific mark on the end banner sheets. Enabling this option results in a Xerox logo. By default, this parameter is set to print a black bar on the end banner sheets.

Apply darkening — Not supported on the 92C IPS.

3.For each parameter, select the checkbox and enter the information on the right, if applicable.

4.When all parameters are set, click Apply.
