Importing DocuPrint IPS 7.x Input Groups and 8.x Virtual Printer Media Lists cannot be
imported into DocuSP IPDS. DocuSP IPDS Job Setups must be recreated.
IOCA Tile objects IOCA Tile objects which don’t contain IOCA image does not work reliably.
Customer Action: Avoid using above feature.
IPS Manager
Printer Tray values
IPS Manager Printer Tray values are not intended for editing.
Avoidance: Do not attempt to edit values in the 'Printer Trays' column of the IPS
Manager, 'Tray/Bin Mappings' tab. Characters input into this column, though
allowed by the GUI, have no effect on system operation, and will NOT be
registered by the IPS Manager. This field is intended for read-only use.
N-1 job hangs N-1 job hangs if greater than IPDS throttling 160-page limit.
Customer Action:
Restart IPDS Gateway from the IPS Manager GUI.
Avoidance: Select Print Job Unfinished (vs. Fault Job) for Overlimit Finishing or
print 1-N when feasible. If N-1 printing and faulting over limit jobs is required, set
the maximum set size for the finishing device to at least the size of the largest
jobs or sets that will be handled. Doing so forces the throttling limit to twice the
maximum set size and ensures that throttling will not cause a deadlock.
Offset and DFA Only Offset at job or set boundary is supported with the third party inline DFA
finishing devices. DFA devices do not support single page offsetting specified
within the IPDS job or set. Single page job or set will be offset.
Output order IPDS jobs cannot be processed 1-N with N-1 finishing in Nuvera.
Customer Action:
Resubmit the job after setting the finishing equipment for 1-N,
if possible.
Avoidance: Set both queue and finishing for the same output order. If it is
necessary to use N-1 for the finisher, send individual sets as separate jobs, to
ensure that the source job will not exceed the length of the IPDS throttling limit.
Output Reposition
not supported
Output Reposition is not supported for IPDS jobs. As with Sample current job,
this feature would also cause incorrect page counts to be reported to the host.
However, host operator commands can be used for forward and backward space
within a job. In the IPDS environment, the host operator is expected to effect
repositioning commands from the host platform (for example, JES2 $f and $b
commands for forward and backward spacing respectively). The DocuSP IPDS
implementation manages this repositioning on the basis of the current set of IPDS
counters returned by the printer. Do not use the DocuSP Reposition Output
dialog with IPDS jobs.
Pause feature The pause feature should not be used with IPDS as a way to continue RIPping
while deferring printing. It is not feasible to RIP a large print run ahead of printing
for IPDS, since throttling will limit the number of committed sheets in excess of the
number of stacked sheets.
Printer status
messages
Specific printer status problems are not described with Intervention Required
messages. Only a generic message is sent.
Customer Action –Operator should ensure that their management process for
this system does not depend on the printer providing a specific description of
what is wrong (e.g. Check the printer for the specific problem vs. relying on the
host message.).
Refresh to update
mappings
The IPS Manager is not automatically informed when physical tray contents are
changed at the DocuSP printer manager. Instead, you must use the Refresh
mechanism provided by the IPDS Tray/Bin Mappings dialog to display the latest
mapping information.
Remote Workflow DocuSP Remote Workflow (DRW) does not support the IPS Manager.
