CentreWare Internet Services
CentreWare Internet Services is an interactive service that 
extends the capabilities of CentreWare DP using Internet 
technology as the platform.  It provides another option 
for implementing advanced services for the installation, 
configuration, and management of your DocuPrint NC60.  
Each of the features in CentreWare Internet Services can 
be accessed through familiar client-resident software 
interfaces, such as Netscape Navigator or Microsoft 
Explorer browsers.  Through a web browser, users and 
system administrators will be able to monitor the status of 
the DocuPrint NC60, print HTML-based documents, and 
access context sensitive on-line assistance.
For system administrators, CentreWare Internet Services 
will provide a faster and more productive way to install 
and upgrade software on your DocuPrint NC60 and a 
wide range of supporting information on the Internet.
SetupTo set up your DocuPrint NC60 for Internet/Intranet 
access, you will need to do the following:
• Configure an IP address for the printer on your 
network. See “IP Address” (page 1-65 for Ethernet or 
page 1-77 for Token Ring).
• Enable the embedded HTTP server at the Control 
Panel. See “HTTP Enable” (page 1-63 for Ethernet or 
page 1-75 for Token Ring).
To use the Mail Send/Receive capability, you will need to 
establish a mail account for the printer and install and 
configure the Xerox Mail Port Monitor.
See the Technical Information Guide, the CentreWare 
Internet Services User Guide, and online help for more 
information on the operation and use of CentreWare Internet 
Services.

Hard Drive Considerations
If you install the optional Hard Disk Drive on the 
DocuPrint NC60, it will significantly increase the amount 
of memory available for processing jobs and storing 
downloaded information (such as fonts, macros and jobs).
The hard disk is used for the following:
• Storage of print jobs for secure jobs and proof job.
• Temporary storage for collated print jobs.
• Long term storage for downloaded fonts and macros.
• Long term storage of up to ten jobs printable from the 
Control Panel Print Menu.
Disk InitializationThe disk is preformatted and requires no initialization. 
The disk may be returned to its initial state, with no 
loaded fonts, macros or secure jobs, by selecting the Disk 
Initialize item from the Reset Menu or from CentreWare.

Chapter 3: Using the Hard Drive

Downloading Fonts and Macros
The Xerox DocuPrint NC60 PCL printer driver provides 
you with the ability to download fonts and PCL macros to 
the printer.
• To download fonts you must first install the 
appropriate DocuPrint NC60 PCL Windows 3.1 or 
Windows 95/98 driver. To download macros, you must 
install the DocuPrint NC60 Windows PCL driver. 
• “Temporary” fonts/macros downloaded to printer 
memory on a job per job basis are cleared from the 
printers memory after each job.
• “Permanent” fonts downloaded to printer memory are 
cleared from memory whenever the printer is powered 
off. When the printer switches PDLs, its automatic 
State Saving feature saves all fonts and macros.
In addition to downloading to memory through drivers, 
the DocuPrint NC60 will support downloading of fonts 
and macros to its hard disk by the use of the PJL 
command FSDOWNLOAD. These files may be deleted 
from the DocuPrint NC60 disk by the PJL command 
FSDELETE.
• Fonts downloaded to the hard disk are stored in the 
PCL Fonts and PS Fonts directories. Macros 
downloaded to the hard drive are stored in the PCL 
Macros directory. Fonts and macros stored in these 
directories remain there until you delete them. They 
are not cleared from the hard disk when the printer is 
powered off. You can only delete a macro from the 
hard disk if you know the name of the macro. Since 
you cannot print a list of macros as you can for fonts, 
it is important to keep a record of all downloaded 
macros. Then, use the PJL FSDELETE command to 
delete fonts and macros.

FSDOWNLOAD
CommandThe FSDOWNLOAD command is used to download fonts 
or macros to the DocuPrint NC60 file system. If a file with 
the same name exists, the downloaded file overwrites it.
Syntax@PJL FSDOWNLOAD FORMAT:BINARY [SIZE=int] [NAME = “
pathname”] [] 
%-12345X
Parameters
ParameterFunctional RangeDefault
SIZE=
integer0 to 231 - 1 N/A
NAME=”
pathname” ASCII 01 thru 255 N/A
SIZE = 
integer — The size variable indicates the number of bytes in the file to be 
downloaded. The size indicates the number of bytes immediately following the  to 
the next UEL command.
NAME = 
“pathname” — where “
pathname” = 0:\PCL\FONTS\ to 
download a font named “fontname” to the DocuPrint NC60 or = 
0:\PCL\MACROS\ to download a macro named “macroname” to the 
DocuPrint NC60. “Fontname/macroname” can be any combination of up to 512 
alphanumeric characters.
 — This is the binary file data to be downloaded, such as font files and 
macro data.
Use of 1 rather than 0 in the “pathname” will download the font or macro to RAM 
rather than to the hard drive.

Download Macro
Th e followin g  is a seq uen ce  of co m ma n ds th at ca n  be sen t 
to the DocuPrint NC60 to download a macro to the disk.
In this example:
• %-12345X is the PJL UEL command which starts 
this sequence.
• @PJL is the mandatory PJL command 
following the UEL command.
• @PJL FSDOWNLOAD... downloads a macro of 29 bytes 
named “a_macro.”
• The phrase “This is the macro” is positioned at x=900 
and y=1500 by this macro.
• %-12345X is the UEL command which ends this 
sequence.
Executing this macro requires the following PCL 
sequence:
Notes:
1. The macro ID must be the same case as in the original 
download command.
2. The byte count (after the “n” and before the “w”) 
must equal the ID byte count plus 1.
%-12345X @PJL
@PJL FSDOWNLOAD FORMAT:BINARY NAME =”0:\pcl\macros\a_macro” SIZE=29
*p900x1500YThis is the macro %-12345X
&n8Wa_macro Sets the current macro ID to the 
string ID “a_macro”
&n8Wa_macro Associates the current macro ID with 
the supplied string ID

• %-12345X is the UEL command which ends this 
sequence.
Invoking this font requires the following PCL sequence:
Notes:
1. The case of the string ID must be the same as the case 
of the fontname in the FSDOWNLOAD command.
2. The byte count (“6” in the above example) must equal 
the string ID byte count plus 1.

Using the Hard Disk Drive for 
Secure and Proof Jobs
Secure and proof jobs that have been submitted to the 
printer are stored as processed, ready-to-print files on the 
Hard Disk Drive. These jobs can be printed (or deleted) 
through the Password Menu where you enter the 4-digit 
password for the job or jobs to be printed. Procedures for 
printing or deleting these jobs are listed in Table 1.7 on 
page 1-23.
The secure or proof job is placed at the top of the print 
queue, and will print following completion of the 
currently printing job. If more than one job is released, 
jobs are placed on the print queue in the order released. 
Secure or proof jobs having the same priority are printed 
on a first released basis. 
Creating Secure JobsSecure printing delays printing of a job until a password 
associated with the job is entered at the printer’s Control 
Panel. Entering the password at the Control Panel will 
provide access to only those jobs sent with that password.
Secure jobs are normally created in PCL and PostScript by 
choosing the feature in a driver. When not using a driver 
with this feature, secure jobs may also be created by 
preceding the job with the following PJL commands:
@PJL XSECUREJOB 
@PJL XJOBPASSWORD = number
These commands must be immediately followed by a 
standard PJL “JOB” command that includes the 
“jobname.”
