Backup/Restore Operability Updates The Backup and Restore GUI’s operability has been improved in DocuSP 4.2. Previously, Configuration Backup and Restore did not allow backup and restore of DocuSP license data and was not accessible on an unlicensed system.

Imposition/Layout enhancements DocuSP 4.2 provides the user with a new template, the Z-sort template. In addition, the Z-sort, or ZIP-sort capability has been extended to all multiple-up options. This addition allows multiple-up (e.g. 4-up, 6-up, 9-up, etc.) to be cut and then stacked in a predefined order so that postal sort order is maintained. See the figure below.

The addition of the pages proces

A new dialog is now available in Preferences that allows the user to slow down updates to the job list. This may be useful because the process of updating the job list may adversely affect printer performance. This feature allows the user to balance printer performance with job status updates. This feature is not meant for normal use. The feature is meant to provide System Administrators an option for reducing CPU load in the event that print performance is degraded due to a large nu

VIPP Project Container (VPC) Filter inclusion The VPC Filter is a job filtering mechanism that can be applied to one or more queues on a DocuSP system. When the VPC Filter is setup on a queue, it processes all VIPP jobs sent to the queue through any print path gateway. Non-VPC files are passed through the queue unfiltered and VPC files are filtered, for example, expanded, resources deployed, etc., according to the queue setup configuration. Workflow examples ♦ Set the processing opti

♦ Set the processing option of a VPC filter-enabled queue to Deploy and Print and submit a VPC file to the queue. The resources in the VPC file are deployed and the job(s) printed. Set the Keep Print Files option to False to have the print job(s) deleted upon job completion. VPC Filter GUI with Deploy and Print selected DocuSP 3.8 and 4.0 to 4.1 Differences Document 11

Limits, Constraints, and Considerations ♦ The VPC Filter is not supported on single-queue systems such as the Nuvera Office Printer because DocuSP does not support any filters on single queue systems. The DocuSP GUI does not display the VPC Filter settings on single-queue systems. ♦ The VPC Filter cannot be setup on a streaming queue. The DocuSP GUI does not allow this because crash recovery of filtered streaming jobs does not work with the current architecture. ♦ The Generic Filteri

If Enhanced RBS is in effect, DocuSP RIPs the job to determine the resourced defined within the job data before scheduling the job. If, after RIPping the job, the controller determines that the job requires unavailable resources, the job is marked Ineligible and a message is generated detailing which resources are currently unavailable. If a job specifies a greater quantity of an available media than is present on a system, it prints until the system runs out of that media; then the o
