Setting System Preferences  D1g

After initial installation, the system can be set up to meet the needs of specific work environments through the [System Preferences...] selection of the Setup menu.

Note: When you make changes in settings under a tab area and then switch to another tab, the changes made under the first tab are saved. Use <Cancel> prior to exiting a tab if changes are not to be saved.

Settings available for configuration

A tabbed window provides access to the following system settings:

International Tab: International settings enable you to configure the language and various display formats that appear on the controller, banner pages, and on billing and accounting records, for the culture and environment in which the system is installed.

Save Tab: Save settings enable you to configure the directory location used to store saved jobs submitted by a client. The Save location may be an upper level directory, with subdirectories for each user or type of job. The default location on the DocuSP controller is /var/spool. Background Forms can be saved in DocuSP as multiple directories or through Network Printer Services (NPS) in one directory.

PPML Tab: Set PPML Job Package Resource Directory path.

Job Processing Tab: Job Processing settings enable you to set the scheduling mode, job processing order, and TIFF image position. Note that the Scheduling Mode is used to specify how jobs that require unavailable paper stock or finishing options are handled by the system. Hot Folders polling time is set here.

Job Policy Tab: Set properties for overlimit finishing and set size checking, partitioning, proof quantity, resolve 2nd side conflicts and set cancel inactive jobs after timeout.

Font Site Policy Tab: Font Site settings enable you to specify the substitution of PostScript fonts available on the system for fonts, requested by jobs, that are not available on the system.

Stocks and Trays Tab: Depending on the printing system you are using, the Stocks and Trays settings enable you to show advanced stock attributes, allow stock substitution, allow multiple stocks in paper trays, create names for stocks and set tray confirmation notification process.

Remote Workflow Tab: Remote Workflow settings enable or disable the ability to remotely communicate with the DocuSP controller (running version 4.00.00 or higher software), using Remote Workflow software installed on networked workstation. If the Enable All Connections radio button is selected (enabled), the DocuSP user interface can be displayed on the workstation, allowing a System Administrator or Operator (Trusted User) to access the system for printer status, job management, queue management, and administration functions.

Default Screen Tab: The default screen settings ensure that walk-up users see the same user interface screen every time they use the system. A pull-down menu enables the selection of the screen to be displayed. Timeout settings are provided for configuring the elapsed time of inactivity before users are logged out of the system, helping to enforce system security.
