1.2.
The product
Oc Doc Works is a client server product that supports the digital
workflow to and in the DPC. In the DPC it also supports advanced
document production processes.
The functionality will be extended by successively developing new
modules. The modules provide functionality to submit digital jobs to the
DPC and to empower the operator in preparing and printing jobs.
Job submission to the DPC
A major unique selling point of Oc Doc Works is the digital repro job
ticket that solves the issue of getting digital jobs from the office to the
DPC. The job ticket is a digital equivalent of the current job ticket in
paper form that DPC's and end users are used to . All the services of the
DPC can be ordered directly from the end-user desktop in the office.
Job submission to the DPC is a relevant topic in each DPC. Therefore
this will be available in both the Desk and the Pro configuration of Oc
Doc Works.
Next to digital jobs coming from the office, there can be jobs from
external customers or there can be paper jobs that have to be scanned
before they can be printed.
Alternative inputs to the Oc Doc Works server are possible in the Pro
version through the 'import robot' (automatic PDF import folders). With
R1.2 we can also submit PDF files from the Oc Doc Works client or with
the Web Job Submitter. Furthermore scans by the Oc 3165 SL can be
imported in to Oc Doc Works.
Job preparation by the operator
Jobs often need some preparation by the operator before they are ready
to be printed. Examples are: lay out previewing, booklet making, adding
a scanned page, adding page numbers, merging documents, page
programming. By using the standard of PDF and Adobe Acrobat
software, many of the mentioned examples can be addressed by
integrating 3rd party products into the Oc Doc Works server.

Job preparation is a means by which the operator can add value to the
job. Therefore we will integrate some of this functionality in the Pro
version of Oc Doc Works (e.g. booklet making). Page Programming for
the Oc DPS400 is implemented in R1.2.
Job printing support for the operator
Ultimately the operator wants to prints the jobs. Therefore a print server
needs to support all printers that are available in the repro. Additionally
the operator is better supported if he can control the printers from the
server and if he can easily send a job to a certain printer.
In Oc Doc Works Desk basic printing support for all printers is offered.
In the Pro version the operator gets more extensive printing support by
the 'direct printing' mechanism for a selection of printers.
1.3.
Oc Doc Works/Dirac/
Position in portfolio
Oc Doc Works is targeted at manned production environments. As such
Prisma/ORC Oc Doc Works is the successor of Oc ReproCenter. The
year 2001 will be a phase in/phase out period.
Oc Doc Works is not targeted at EDP-environments or at processing
transaction documents. Prismaflow will address this market of
unattended output management, later on succeeded by Dirac.
Mixed environments: Oc ReproCenter was based on the Prismaflow
product. This means that mixed environments could be addressed by
one product. In the new situation, with Oc Doc Works and Dirac, these
environments need special consideration.

Functionality
3.1.
Introduction
This document specifies the functionality of Oc Doc Works R1.2.1. This
specification covers both the Desk and Pro configurations.
Oc Doc Works handles the job submission from the end users desk
towards the DPC and provides operator support for processing received
jobs.
For this, Oc Doc Works has a client side and a server side containing
the following groups of functionality:
Client
A submission client integrated with Windows print environments
A submission client for existing PDF files (integrated with the client
mentioned above)
A websubmitter for job submission via the Web
Server
An operator console for viewing, editing, printing and managing
incoming jobs
A Job Ticket Editor to configure the flexible job ticket definition
An administration module to administer and configure the system
A scan input for documents scanned on the Oc 3165
An open interface for import and export of jobs and ticket definitions
This document specifies the functionality of both the Desk and Pro
configurations. Topics only available in the Desk configuration will be
labeled Desk only, topics only available in the Pro configuration will be
labeled Pro only. All non-labeled topics are available in both
configurations.
3.1.1.
3.1.2.
3.1.2.1.
Only when using the original Client application (File- Print Oc Doc
Works), the ODW system is in control of the generated printable
document. With all other client side additions, the ODW system is not in
control and cannot guarantee the quality of the printable document.
This means that the promise of flawless printing cannot be
maintained for the total ODW system.

A separated message field is used to give additional information
from the DPC to the end-user (i.e. now duplex color printing
available).
A generic comment field is used to give the user the possibility to
provide additional information not covered in the job ticket settings.
(This depends on the ticket definition. A Comments field is included
in the default definition)
Preview
The user has the possibility to preview the generated PDF file. On the
other hand a job can be submitted to the DPC without the need to wait
for the complete PDF file to be generated if the user doesnt want the
preview. To enable a preview of a job a PDF file is generated. Adobe
Acrobat Reader 4.0 is used to view the generated PDF.
Preview functionality is an optional feature.

Parts of the job ticket items are more or less static. This information is
stored on the client PC and is used as default value in the job ticket. The
job ticket items that are stored are defined with the Job Ticket Editor. If a
job ticket item is changed by the end-user, then this new value will be the
default value.
If possible to retrieve, the following fields are automatically filled in: login
name, computer name, company name, Client application version,
model name (extended/basic client), view name (fixed for now) and
definition identifier.
3.2.1.8.
Parts of the job ticket items are required (i.e. telephone number). Only if
the client fills in these job ticket settings with a correct value the job will
be accepted. Which job ticket items are required is defined with the Job
Ticket Editor.
3.2.1.9.
Language setting
PDF upload
The user has the possibility to submit existing PDF files towards the
ODW server.
The user will be asked to fill in a job ticket. This job ticket is equal to the
job ticket used for normal submission.
All sub paragraphs of paragraph 3.2.1 except 3.2.1.1, 3.2.1.4 also apply
to PDF upload.
3.2.2.1.
PDF file
The system will only be supported when used with valid PDF files. See
paragraph Error! Reference source not found.. Only one PDF file can
be submitted per job. So there is no support for multiple documents on a
single job.
The size of the PDF file will determine the submission speed. The
maximum file size depends on the available hardware of the ODW
server. The ODW server will not be able to accept files that are larger
then:
The available virtual memory on the ODW server or
Half the available disk space of the disk containing the storage
directory or
The available disk space of the disk containing the IIS ftproot
directory or
1Gb
3.2.2.2.
Ticket
The ticket that has to be filled in by the end-user is equal to the ticket
that is used in the client application (which is set using the Job Ticket
Editor).
The language of the ticket will be equal to the language used on the
ODW server software.

Operator Console
Job overview frame
In the job overview frame, all jobs in the system are shown. These jobs
are shown in a detailed view with several columns in which the main jobproperties are shown (Job number, user, status, ).
The jobs are stored in categories (folders), only one category is visible at
a time. Default there are two categories Unprocessed jobs and Ready
jobs. Only the user can move a job from Unprocessed jobs to Ready
jobs. A job can only be present in one category at a time.
Statuses of jobs in process
One of the main characteristics of a job in process is its status, which will
be displayed in the overview. The following statuses are automatically
detected and will change accordingly:
loading jobs, the ticket is present, the PDF document not.
new jobs, both ticket and PDF document are present, but not opened
yet
opened jobs
Opening a job means that the job is clicked and the ticket is shown,
comparable with e-mail programs.
jobs sent to printer
error jobs
The icons in the job overview list will represent the difference in status.
Furthermore a job can be marked ready, which will be done after
printing the job. The icons of all ready jobs will contain a ready mark.
3.3.1.2.
As stated, new jobs will be marked with a specific icon. Furthermore the
Operator is able to make the following settings for the announcement of
new jobs:
Pro only: Whether or not the ticket should be sent to a specific
printer automatically, as soon as a new job comes in

An operator can make the following settings on his job list overview:
Pro only: Define the columns (number, content and order) of the
detailed view. All job ticket items and properties are available for
selecting them as the content of a column. The column settings will
be saved and restored, after, respectively, closing and opening the
application.
Pro only: Manage categories for jobs.
In order to manage the categories for jobs, it will be possible to
create new categories, delete categories and rename categories.
However, it will not be possible to make subcategories, i.e. nesting
categories in other categories. Furthermore, it is not possible to
delete the two default categories: Unprocessed jobs and Ready
jobs.

Pro only: Restore original file
With this function the original file is restored, only needed when the
operator accidentally saved the wrong file in Acrobat.
Print Job Ticket
Make a hardcopy of the job ticket that can be used for further
processing of the job or the ticket in the DPC. One printer can be
chosen to be the default ticket printer.
Pro only: Proof print
This function prints one copy of the document to a selected printer.
The settings of the job ticket will automatically be filled-in in the
printer driver, if possible. It will be made visible to the end user which
settings are not automatically handled. The operator can change
these, and other settings manually in the printer driver. The name of
the printer on which the proof print was made will be saved as an
extra job attribute.
Print Document
This function prints the whole job to the selected printer. Pro only:
The settings of the job ticket will automatically be filled in, in the
printer driver. Not all printers are totally supported, so it will be made
visible to the end user which settings are automatically handled and
which are not. The operator can change these non automatic and
other settings manually in the printer driver. Whether the driver
window is shown, depends on a per printer settings. For more
information about supported printers see also 4.2. The name of the
printer on which the print was made will be saved as an extra job
attribute.
Pro only: Move jobs to another category manually. It is not possible
to manually move jobs to the Ready jobs category. Use Mark jobs
as ready for this.
Mark jobs as ready.
When a job is marked ready, the icon will get a ready mark. As a
default the job is moved to the Ready jobs category. This can also
be turned off. It is also possible for the operator to automatically
send an e-mail to the client when he marks a job ready.
Delete jobs manually
Note: jobs that are in the Ready jobs category are deleted
automatically after a specified time frame.
Pro only: Export job manually,
The job, including the file and the ticket can be exported to any
directory the user wants, see also 5.1.
Save document as
The current PDF file of the document can be saved in any directory
the user wants.
Pro only: Send e-mail manually
As already mentioned, the operator is able to automatically send an
e-mail when a new job comes in or when a job is marked ready, see
also chapter 6. In addition it is also possible to send an e-mail
manually. In this case, the e-mail address of the client (of the
selected job) is used, and the Operator can type his own personal
message.
It will be possible to select more then one job, using the standard button
combinations. In the menu is also a select all function available. The
following actions will stay available for a multi-selection of jobs:
Restore original file
Proof print, however this will only be convenient when the driver
window is set invisible by the operator, see also 4.2 Printer
configuration.

New Jobs
Customers are sending jobs to the DPC; these are displayed as new in
the job overview. However there are two other ways of getting new jobs
into ODW:
Create new job
For creating a new job, the operator must select a PDF-file and fill in
a ticket. For this the same job ticket view is used as in the client
software. This function can be compared with PDF upload in the
client software.
Pro only: Import job manually
Single jobs can be imported manually, see for more information

are Acrobat specific. The following information can be obtained from this
printer overview directly:
The currently selected printer
The default printer
The printer, to which all job tickets are sent
From this printer overview it is possible to reach the printer settings for
the several printers, in order to view or edit them, see paragraph 4.2. No
status feedback of the printers is offered.
3.3.4.1.
Printer overview
In the printer overview all available printers are visible. In the icons is
visualised, which printer is the default and which printer is the ticket
printer.
The currently selected printer has a blue or grey background (depending
on the PCs colour settings).
It is possible to:
Select another printer
Set another printer as ticket printer
Set another printer as the default.
3.3.4.2.
Printer configuration
Supported Printers
The settings of the job ticket can only be taken over in the printer driver,
when the following files are available on the Oc Doc Works system:
A printer-transformation-table for the driver of the selected printer
(each driver version needs a new table)
A mapping table, which contains information about the links between
ticket settings and driver items. A general mapping table will suffice.
In some cases a special mapping table for one specific printertransformation-table will be needed.
Oc R&D will only deliver the generic mapping table. All tables are
generated and tested by IS&S (partly outsource towards HWS DPS).
An application will be offered to Oc Support, in order to create and fill
new printer-transformation-tables, (see 3.3.4.5). Printer-transformationtables will be offered for the latest version of each DPS printer (these will
be created and released by IS&S). In the System Administration of Oc
Doc Works it is possible to edit or extend the links in the generic

The Driver Table Creator assists IS&S (and HSW DPS) in the creation of
printer transformation tables. The driver for which the transformation
table is needed should be installed on the same NT 4 server system as
this application. A question-based discovery of possible printer settings
follows. This application will only be available in English and can be
installed with a regular setup application.
Using this application, printer transformation tables can be created for all
those drivers that store their document defaults information according to
the Win32 DEVMODE specification.
For those drivers that store their information outside the DEVMODE,
settings cannot be taken over into the driver.

Automatically
Jobs can be exported from the system manually by choosing the Export
function in the menu bar. This function will ask for a destination
elsewhere on the file system, copy the PDF file attached to the job to
that destination and create a ticket file with the same name (except for
its extension) in that destination. Note that both the original and the
edited PDF document (if available) are copied into the destination.

Factory defaults.
During the installation, a default definition will be installed, containing
default list of job ticket items and default views for the Client and the
Operator.
It is the intention that these factory defaults will cover the needs of a
large group of customers. The captions in the factory defaults depend on
the chosen language.

Copy protection
3.7.1.
Client side
A software license key protects the job submission client. The preview
option is also protected with a software license key.
3.7.2.
Server side
The server is protected by a software license mechanism. The servers
will be serialised with a unique serial number. This serial number will be
distributed by M&L. Beside this serial number; each application will have
a software license key.
During start-up of the application it is checked if a valid license key is
available, if not a message dialog is presented to enter a valid license
key. These licenses can also be entered and viewed using the System
Administration application.
In this way the installed software is generic and the licenses can be
distributed separately.
The software licensing is detailed in [ODWLICENSE].

Service Aspects
Performance
Number of concurrent submissions
Number of jobs
The number of jobs the system can handle depends on the size of the
jobs and is limited by the overhead of job ticket information and the size
of the data partition of the PC. The response of the system is reasonable
if the total number of jobs in the system dont exceed 500 for regular
office jobs. If more jobs should be handled then the response can be
decreasing.
3.9.1.4.
Only one job can be imported at a time and only one job can be exported
at a time. Import and export can work in parallel.
3.9.1.5.
Hardware
3.9.3.
3.9.3.1.
Release identification
Each separate ODW application has an about box menu item which
describes the global release identification, current release version of that
application copyright notices and the serial number and license key.

Backup/restore
For ODW no backup/restore functionality for the server is taken into
account. Most companies do have already a backup procedure in place.
Within the contract the backup/restore is handled.
As an alternative, the Opco can decide to install locally a customer
preferred backup mechanism (i.e. DAT) on the ODW server.
The location of relevant data (i.e. job store) can be configured by means
of the System Administration application.
3.9.5.
Distribution
3.9.5.1.
Client
The ODW client application is distributed using a CD-ROM. This CDROM also contains a distribution package that allows for easy
distributions over a network (single setup file download; this is not equal
to SMS!).
No silent setup foreseen. Also no hardware distribution is foreseen.
3.9.5.2.
Server
Installation
Client
Server
For the ODW server software, an InstallShield setup procedure for CDROM installation is used. This installation should be performed on a
system that complies with the server target environment specified in
paragraph Error! Reference source not found..
This implies that any old version of Desk or Pro should be removed
before this installation is activated.
The installation will have no options. An un-install option is available.
3.9.7.
Upgrades
There will be no upgrade from existing Desk 1.1 or Pro 1.1 systems to
Desk 1.2 and/or Pro 1.2 systems. To upgrade these systems to Desk/Pro
1.2 a clean system is required, which implies that formatting of the hard
disk is required.
There will be an upgrade tool for the jobs and ticket definition of an
existing Desk 1.1 or Pro 1.1 system. This tool should be used before the
conversion to Desk/Pro 1.2. It will store the information on a user
specified location (probable a network drive). After the installation of the

4.2.
The product
Oc Doc Works is a client server product that supports the digital
workflow to and in the DPC. In the DPC it also supports advanced
document production processes.
The functionality will be extended by successively developing new
modules. The modules provide functionality to submit digital jobs to the
DPC and to empower the operator in preparing and printing jobs.
Job submission to the DPC
A major unique selling point of Oc Doc Works is the digital repro job
ticket that solves the issue of getting digital jobs from the office to the
DPC. The job ticket is a digital equivalent of the current job ticket in
paper form that DPC's and end users are used to . All the services of the
DPC can be ordered directly from the end-user desktop in the office.
Job submission to the DPC is a relevant topic in each DPC. Therefore
this will be available in both the Desk and the Pro configuration of Oc
Doc Works.
Next to digital jobs coming from the office, there can be jobs from
external customers or there can be paper jobs that have to be scanned
before they can be printed.
Alternative inputs to the Oc Doc Works server are possible in the Pro
version through the 'import robot' (automatic PDF import folders). With
R1.2 we can also submit PDF files from the Oc Doc Works client or with
the Web Job Submitter. Furthermore scans by the Oc 3165 SL can be
imported in to Oc Doc Works.
Job preparation by the operator
Jobs often need some preparation by the operator before they are ready
to be printed. Examples are: lay out previewing, booklet making, adding
a scanned page, adding page numbers, merging documents, page
programming. By using the standard of PDF and Adobe Acrobat
software, many of the mentioned examples can be addressed by
integrating 3rd party products into the Oc Doc Works server.

Job preparation is a means by which the operator can add value to the
job. Therefore we will integrate some of this functionality in the Pro
version of Oc Doc Works (e.g. booklet making). Page Programming for
the Oc DPS400 is implemented in R1.2.
Job printing support for the operator
Ultimately the operator wants to prints the jobs. Therefore a print server
needs to support all printers that are available in the repro. Additionally
the operator is better supported if he can control the printers from the
server and if he can easily send a job to a certain printer.
In Oc Doc Works Desk basic printing support for all printers is offered.
In the Pro version the operator gets more extensive printing support by
the 'direct printing' mechanism for a selection of printers.
4.3.
Oc Doc Works/Dirac/
Position in portfolio
Oc Doc Works is targeted at manned production environments. As such
Prisma/ORC Oc Doc Works is the successor of Oc ReproCenter. The
year 2001 will be a phase in/phase out period.
Oc Doc Works is not targeted at EDP-environments or at processing
transaction documents. Prismaflow will address this market of
unattended output management, later on succeeded by Dirac.
Mixed environments: Oc ReproCenter was based on the Prismaflow
product. This means that mixed environments could be addressed by
one product. In the new situation, with Oc Doc Works and Dirac, these
environments need special consideration.

Functionality
6.1.
Introduction
This document specifies the functionality of Oc Doc Works R1.2.1. This
specification covers both the Desk and Pro configurations.
Oc Doc Works handles the job submission from the end users desk
towards the DPC and provides operator support for processing received
jobs.
For this, Oc Doc Works has a client side and a server side containing
the following groups of functionality:
Client
A submission client integrated with Windows print environments
A submission client for existing PDF files (integrated with the client
mentioned above)
A websubmitter for job submission via the Web
Server
An operator console for viewing, editing, printing and managing
incoming jobs
A Job Ticket Editor to configure the flexible job ticket definition
An administration module to administer and configure the system
A scan input for documents scanned on the Oc 3165
An open interface for import and export of jobs and ticket definitions
This document specifies the functionality of both the Desk and Pro
configurations. Topics only available in the Desk configuration will be
labeled Desk only, topics only available in the Pro configuration will be
labeled Pro only. All non-labeled topics are available in both
configurations.
6.1.1.

6.1.2.1.
Only when using the original Client application (File- Print Oc Doc
Works), the ODW system is in control of the generated printable
document. With all other client side additions, the ODW system is not in
control and cannot guarantee the quality of the printable document.
This means that the promise of flawless printing cannot be
maintained for the total ODW system.

A separated message field is used to give additional information
from the DPC to the end-user (i.e. now duplex color printing
available).
A generic comment field is used to give the user the possibility to
provide additional information not covered in the job ticket settings.
(This depends on the ticket definition. A Comments field is included
in the default definition)
Preview
The user has the possibility to preview the generated PDF file. On the
other hand a job can be submitted to the DPC without the need to wait
for the complete PDF file to be generated if the user doesnt want the
preview. To enable a preview of a job a PDF file is generated. Adobe
Acrobat Reader 4.0 is used to view the generated PDF.
Preview functionality is an optional feature.

Parts of the job ticket items are more or less static. This information is
stored on the client PC and is used as default value in the job ticket. The
job ticket items that are stored are defined with the Job Ticket Editor. If a
job ticket item is changed by the end-user, then this new value will be the
default value.
If possible to retrieve, the following fields are automatically filled in: login
name, computer name, company name, Client application version,
model name (extended/basic client), view name (fixed for now) and
definition identifier.
6.2.1.8.
Parts of the job ticket items are required (i.e. telephone number). Only if
the client fills in these job ticket settings with a correct value the job will
be accepted. Which job ticket items are required is defined with the Job
Ticket Editor.

Language setting
PDF upload
The user has the possibility to submit existing PDF files towards the
ODW server.
The user will be asked to fill in a job ticket. This job ticket is equal to the
job ticket used for normal submission.
All sub paragraphs of paragraph 3.2.1 except 3.2.1.1, 3.2.1.4 also apply
to PDF upload.
6.2.2.1.
PDF file
The system will only be supported when used with valid PDF files. See
paragraph Error! Reference source not found.. Only one PDF file can
be submitted per job. So there is no support for multiple documents on a
single job.
The size of the PDF file will determine the submission speed. The
maximum file size depends on the available hardware of the ODW
server. The ODW server will not be able to accept files that are larger
then:
The available virtual memory on the ODW server or
Half the available disk space of the disk containing the storage
directory or
The available disk space of the disk containing the IIS ftproot
directory or
1Gb
6.2.2.2.
Ticket
The ticket that has to be filled in by the end-user is equal to the ticket
that is used in the client application (which is set using the Job Ticket
Editor).
The language of the ticket will be equal to the language used on the
ODW server software.

Operator Console
Job overview frame
In the job overview frame, all jobs in the system are shown. These jobs
are shown in a detailed view with several columns in which the main jobproperties are shown (Job number, user, status, ).
The jobs are stored in categories (folders), only one category is visible at
a time. Default there are two categories Unprocessed jobs and Ready
jobs. Only the user can move a job from Unprocessed jobs to Ready
jobs. A job can only be present in one category at a time.
Statuses of jobs in process
One of the main characteristics of a job in process is its status, which will
be displayed in the overview. The following statuses are automatically
detected and will change accordingly:
loading jobs, the ticket is present, the PDF document not.
new jobs, both ticket and PDF document are present, but not opened
yet
opened jobs
Opening a job means that the job is clicked and the ticket is shown,
comparable with e-mail programs.
jobs sent to printer
error jobs
The icons in the job overview list will represent the difference in status.
Furthermore a job can be marked ready, which will be done after
printing the job. The icons of all ready jobs will contain a ready mark.
6.3.1.2.
As stated, new jobs will be marked with a specific icon. Furthermore the
Operator is able to make the following settings for the announcement of
new jobs:
Pro only: Whether or not the ticket should be sent to a specific
printer automatically, as soon as a new job comes in

An operator can make the following settings on his job list overview:
Pro only: Define the columns (number, content and order) of the
detailed view. All job ticket items and properties are available for
selecting them as the content of a column. The column settings will
be saved and restored, after, respectively, closing and opening the
application.
Pro only: Manage categories for jobs.
In order to manage the categories for jobs, it will be possible to
create new categories, delete categories and rename categories.
However, it will not be possible to make subcategories, i.e. nesting
categories in other categories. Furthermore, it is not possible to
delete the two default categories: Unprocessed jobs and Ready
jobs.

Pro only: Restore original file
With this function the original file is restored, only needed when the
operator accidentally saved the wrong file in Acrobat.
Print Job Ticket
Make a hardcopy of the job ticket that can be used for further
processing of the job or the ticket in the DPC. One printer can be
chosen to be the default ticket printer.
Pro only: Proof print
This function prints one copy of the document to a selected printer.
The settings of the job ticket will automatically be filled-in in the
printer driver, if possible. It will be made visible to the end user which
settings are not automatically handled. The operator can change
these, and other settings manually in the printer driver. The name of
the printer on which the proof print was made will be saved as an
extra job attribute.
Print Document
This function prints the whole job to the selected printer. Pro only:
The settings of the job ticket will automatically be filled in, in the
printer driver. Not all printers are totally supported, so it will be made
visible to the end user which settings are automatically handled and
which are not. The operator can change these non automatic and
other settings manually in the printer driver. Whether the driver
window is shown, depends on a per printer settings. For more
information about supported printers see also 4.2. The name of the
printer on which the print was made will be saved as an extra job
attribute.
Pro only: Move jobs to another category manually. It is not possible
to manually move jobs to the Ready jobs category. Use Mark jobs
as ready for this.
Mark jobs as ready.
When a job is marked ready, the icon will get a ready mark. As a
default the job is moved to the Ready jobs category. This can also
be turned off. It is also possible for the operator to automatically
send an e-mail to the client when he marks a job ready.
Delete jobs manually
Note: jobs that are in the Ready jobs category are deleted
automatically after a specified time frame.
Pro only: Export job manually,
The job, including the file and the ticket can be exported to any
directory the user wants, see also 5.1.
Save document as
The current PDF file of the document can be saved in any directory
the user wants.
Pro only: Send e-mail manually
As already mentioned, the operator is able to automatically send an
e-mail when a new job comes in or when a job is marked ready, see
also chapter 6. In addition it is also possible to send an e-mail
manually. In this case, the e-mail address of the client (of the
selected job) is used, and the Operator can type his own personal
message.
It will be possible to select more then one job, using the standard button
combinations. In the menu is also a select all function available. The
following actions will stay available for a multi-selection of jobs:
Restore original file
Proof print, however this will only be convenient when the driver
window is set invisible by the operator, see also 4.2 Printer
configuration.

New Jobs
Customers are sending jobs to the DPC; these are displayed as new in
the job overview. However there are two other ways of getting new jobs
into ODW:
Create new job
For creating a new job, the operator must select a PDF-file and fill in
a ticket. For this the same job ticket view is used as in the client
software. This function can be compared with PDF upload in the
client software.
Pro only: Import job manually
Single jobs can be imported manually, see for more information

Printers
In the printer overview, all the printers installed in the system (these are
all the printers installed under Windows NT) are visible except those that

are Acrobat specific. The following information can be obtained from this
printer overview directly:
The currently selected printer
The default printer
The printer, to which all job tickets are sent
From this printer overview it is possible to reach the printer settings for
the several printers, in order to view or edit them, see paragraph 4.2. No
status feedback of the printers is offered.
6.3.4.1.
Printer overview
In the printer overview all available printers are visible. In the icons is
visualised, which printer is the default and which printer is the ticket
printer.
The currently selected printer has a blue or grey background (depending
on the PCs colour settings).
It is possible to:
Select another printer
Set another printer as ticket printer
Set another printer as the default.
6.3.4.2.
Printer configuration
Supported Printers
The settings of the job ticket can only be taken over in the printer driver,
when the following files are available on the Oc Doc Works system:
A printer-transformation-table for the driver of the selected printer
(each driver version needs a new table)
A mapping table, which contains information about the links between
ticket settings and driver items. A general mapping table will suffice.
In some cases a special mapping table for one specific printertransformation-table will be needed.
Oc R&D will only deliver the generic mapping table. All tables are
generated and tested by IS&S (partly outsource towards HWS DPS).
An application will be offered to Oc Support, in order to create and fill
new printer-transformation-tables, (see 3.3.4.5). Printer-transformationtables will be offered for the latest version of each DPS printer (these will
be created and released by IS&S). In the System Administration of Oc
Doc Works it is possible to edit or extend the links in the generic

The Driver Table Creator assists IS&S (and HSW DPS) in the creation of
printer transformation tables. The driver for which the transformation
table is needed should be installed on the same NT 4 server system as
this application. A question-based discovery of possible printer settings
follows. This application will only be available in English and can be
installed with a regular setup application.
Using this application, printer transformation tables can be created for all
those drivers that store their document defaults information according to
the Win32 DEVMODE specification.
For those drivers that store their information outside the DEVMODE,
settings cannot be taken over into the driver.

Automatically
Jobs can be exported from the system manually by choosing the Export
function in the menu bar. This function will ask for a destination
elsewhere on the file system, copy the PDF file attached to the job to
that destination and create a ticket file with the same name (except for
its extension) in that destination. Note that both the original and the
edited PDF document (if available) are copied into the destination.

Factory defaults.
During the installation, a default definition will be installed, containing
default list of job ticket items and default views for the Client and the
Operator.
It is the intention that these factory defaults will cover the needs of a
large group of customers. The captions in the factory defaults depend on
the chosen language.

Client side
A software license key protects the job submission client. The preview
option is also protected with a software license key.
6.7.2.
Server side
The server is protected by a software license mechanism. The servers
will be serialised with a unique serial number. This serial number will be
distributed by M&L. Beside this serial number; each application will have
a software license key.
During start-up of the application it is checked if a valid license key is
available, if not a message dialog is presented to enter a valid license
key. These licenses can also be entered and viewed using the System
Administration application.
In this way the installed software is generic and the licenses can be
distributed separately.
The software licensing is detailed in [ODWLICENSE].

Service Aspects
Performance
Number of concurrent submissions
Number of jobs
The number of jobs the system can handle depends on the size of the
jobs and is limited by the overhead of job ticket information and the size
of the data partition of the PC. The response of the system is reasonable
if the total number of jobs in the system dont exceed 500 for regular
office jobs. If more jobs should be handled then the response can be
decreasing.
6.9.1.4.
Only one job can be imported at a time and only one job can be exported
at a time. Import and export can work in parallel.
6.9.1.5.
Hardware
6.9.3.
6.9.3.1.
Release identification
Each separate ODW application has an about box menu item which
describes the global release identification, current release version of that
application copyright notices and the serial number and license key.

Backup/restore
For ODW no backup/restore functionality for the server is taken into
account. Most companies do have already a backup procedure in place.
Within the contract the backup/restore is handled.
As an alternative, the Opco can decide to install locally a customer
preferred backup mechanism (i.e. DAT) on the ODW server.
The location of relevant data (i.e. job store) can be configured by means
of the System Administration application.
6.9.5.
Distribution
6.9.5.1.
Client
The ODW client application is distributed using a CD-ROM. This CDROM also contains a distribution package that allows for easy
distributions over a network (single setup file download; this is not equal
to SMS!).
No silent setup foreseen. Also no hardware distribution is foreseen.
6.9.5.2.
Server
Installation
Client
Server
For the ODW server software, an InstallShield setup procedure for CDROM installation is used. This installation should be performed on a
system that complies with the server target environment specified in
paragraph Error! Reference source not found..
This implies that any old version of Desk or Pro should be removed
before this installation is activated.
The installation will have no options. An un-install option is available.
6.9.7.
Upgrades
There will be no upgrade from existing Desk 1.1 or Pro 1.1 systems to
Desk 1.2 and/or Pro 1.2 systems. To upgrade these systems to Desk/Pro
1.2 a clean system is required, which implies that formatting of the hard
disk is required.
There will be an upgrade tool for the jobs and ticket definition of an
existing Desk 1.1 or Pro 1.1 system. This tool should be used before the
conversion to Desk/Pro 1.2. It will store the information on a user
specified location (probable a network drive). After the installation of the

7.2.
The product
Oc Doc Works is a client server product that supports the digital
workflow to and in the DPC. In the DPC it also supports advanced
document production processes.
The functionality will be extended by successively developing new
modules. The modules provide functionality to submit digital jobs to the
DPC and to empower the operator in preparing and printing jobs.
Job submission to the DPC
A major unique selling point of Oc Doc Works is the digital repro job
ticket that solves the issue of getting digital jobs from the office to the
DPC. The job ticket is a digital equivalent of the current job ticket in
paper form that DPC's and end users are used to . All the services of the
DPC can be ordered directly from the end-user desktop in the office.
Job submission to the DPC is a relevant topic in each DPC. Therefore
this will be available in both the Desk and the Pro configuration of Oc
Doc Works.
Next to digital jobs coming from the office, there can be jobs from
external customers or there can be paper jobs that have to be scanned
before they can be printed.
Alternative inputs to the Oc Doc Works server are possible in the Pro
version through the 'import robot' (automatic PDF import folders). With
R1.2 we can also submit PDF files from the Oc Doc Works client or with
the Web Job Submitter. Furthermore scans by the Oc 3165 SL can be
imported in to Oc Doc Works.
Job preparation by the operator
Jobs often need some preparation by the operator before they are ready
to be printed. Examples are: lay out previewing, booklet making, adding
a scanned page, adding page numbers, merging documents, page
programming. By using the standard of PDF and Adobe Acrobat
software, many of the mentioned examples can be addressed by
integrating 3rd party products into the Oc Doc Works server.

Job preparation is a means by which the operator can add value to the
job. Therefore we will integrate some of this functionality in the Pro
version of Oc Doc Works (e.g. booklet making). Page Programming for
the Oc DPS400 is implemented in R1.2.
Job printing support for the operator
Ultimately the operator wants to prints the jobs. Therefore a print server
needs to support all printers that are available in the repro. Additionally
the operator is better supported if he can control the printers from the
server and if he can easily send a job to a certain printer.
In Oc Doc Works Desk basic printing support for all printers is offered.
In the Pro version the operator gets more extensive printing support by
the 'direct printing' mechanism for a selection of printers.
7.3.
Oc Doc Works/Dirac/
Position in portfolio
Oc Doc Works is targeted at manned production environments. As such
Prisma/ORC Oc Doc Works is the successor of Oc ReproCenter. The
year 2001 will be a phase in/phase out period.
Oc Doc Works is not targeted at EDP-environments or at processing
transaction documents. Prismaflow will address this market of
unattended output management, later on succeeded by Dirac.
Mixed environments: Oc ReproCenter was based on the Prismaflow
product. This means that mixed environments could be addressed by
one product. In the new situation, with Oc Doc Works and Dirac, these
environments need special consideration.

Functionality
9.1.
Introduction
This document specifies the functionality of Oc Doc Works R1.2.1. This
specification covers both the Desk and Pro configurations.
Oc Doc Works handles the job submission from the end users desk
towards the DPC and provides operator support for processing received
jobs.
For this, Oc Doc Works has a client side and a server side containing
the following groups of functionality:
Client
A submission client integrated with Windows print environments
A submission client for existing PDF files (integrated with the client
mentioned above)
A websubmitter for job submission via the Web
Server
An operator console for viewing, editing, printing and managing
incoming jobs
A Job Ticket Editor to configure the flexible job ticket definition
An administration module to administer and configure the system
A scan input for documents scanned on the Oc 3165
An open interface for import and export of jobs and ticket definitions
This document specifies the functionality of both the Desk and Pro
configurations. Topics only available in the Desk configuration will be
labeled Desk only, topics only available in the Pro configuration will be
labeled Pro only. All non-labeled topics are available in both
configurations.

9.1.2.1.
Only when using the original Client application (File- Print Oc Doc
Works), the ODW system is in control of the generated printable
document. With all other client side additions, the ODW system is not in
control and cannot guarantee the quality of the printable document.
This means that the promise of flawless printing cannot be
maintained for the total ODW system.

A separated message field is used to give additional information
from the DPC to the end-user (i.e. now duplex color printing
available).
A generic comment field is used to give the user the possibility to
provide additional information not covered in the job ticket settings.
(This depends on the ticket definition. A Comments field is included
in the default definition)
Preview
The user has the possibility to preview the generated PDF file. On the
other hand a job can be submitted to the DPC without the need to wait
for the complete PDF file to be generated if the user doesnt want the
preview. To enable a preview of a job a PDF file is generated. Adobe
Acrobat Reader 4.0 is used to view the generated PDF.
Preview functionality is an optional feature.

Parts of the job ticket items are more or less static. This information is
stored on the client PC and is used as default value in the job ticket. The
job ticket items that are stored are defined with the Job Ticket Editor. If a
job ticket item is changed by the end-user, then this new value will be the
default value.
If possible to retrieve, the following fields are automatically filled in: login
name, computer name, company name, Client application version,
model name (extended/basic client), view name (fixed for now) and
definition identifier.
9.2.1.8.
Parts of the job ticket items are required (i.e. telephone number). Only if
the client fills in these job ticket settings with a correct value the job will
be accepted. Which job ticket items are required is defined with the Job
Ticket Editor.
9.2.1.9.
Language setting
PDF upload
The user has the possibility to submit existing PDF files towards the
ODW server.
The user will be asked to fill in a job ticket. This job ticket is equal to the
job ticket used for normal submission.
All sub paragraphs of paragraph 3.2.1 except 3.2.1.1, 3.2.1.4 also apply
to PDF upload.
9.2.2.1.
PDF file
The system will only be supported when used with valid PDF files. See
paragraph Error! Reference source not found.. Only one PDF file can
be submitted per job. So there is no support for multiple documents on a
single job.
The size of the PDF file will determine the submission speed. The
maximum file size depends on the available hardware of the ODW
server. The ODW server will not be able to accept files that are larger
then:
The available virtual memory on the ODW server or
Half the available disk space of the disk containing the storage
directory or
The available disk space of the disk containing the IIS ftproot
directory or
1Gb
9.2.2.2.
Ticket
The ticket that has to be filled in by the end-user is equal to the ticket
that is used in the client application (which is set using the Job Ticket
Editor).
The language of the ticket will be equal to the language used on the
ODW server software.

Operator Console
Job overview frame
In the job overview frame, all jobs in the system are shown. These jobs
are shown in a detailed view with several columns in which the main jobproperties are shown (Job number, user, status, ).
The jobs are stored in categories (folders), only one category is visible at
a time. Default there are two categories Unprocessed jobs and Ready
jobs. Only the user can move a job from Unprocessed jobs to Ready
jobs. A job can only be present in one category at a time.
Statuses of jobs in process
One of the main characteristics of a job in process is its status, which will
be displayed in the overview. The following statuses are automatically
detected and will change accordingly:
loading jobs, the ticket is present, the PDF document not.
new jobs, both ticket and PDF document are present, but not opened
yet
opened jobs
Opening a job means that the job is clicked and the ticket is shown,
comparable with e-mail programs.
jobs sent to printer
error jobs
The icons in the job overview list will represent the difference in status.
Furthermore a job can be marked ready, which will be done after
printing the job. The icons of all ready jobs will contain a ready mark.
9.3.1.2.
As stated, new jobs will be marked with a specific icon. Furthermore the
Operator is able to make the following settings for the announcement of
new jobs:
Pro only: Whether or not the ticket should be sent to a specific
printer automatically, as soon as a new job comes in

An operator can make the following settings on his job list overview:
Pro only: Define the columns (number, content and order) of the
detailed view. All job ticket items and properties are available for
selecting them as the content of a column. The column settings will
be saved and restored, after, respectively, closing and opening the
application.
Pro only: Manage categories for jobs.
In order to manage the categories for jobs, it will be possible to
create new categories, delete categories and rename categories.
However, it will not be possible to make subcategories, i.e. nesting
categories in other categories. Furthermore, it is not possible to
delete the two default categories: Unprocessed jobs and Ready
jobs.

Pro only: Restore original file
With this function the original file is restored, only needed when the
operator accidentally saved the wrong file in Acrobat.
Print Job Ticket
Make a hardcopy of the job ticket that can be used for further
processing of the job or the ticket in the DPC. One printer can be
chosen to be the default ticket printer.
Pro only: Proof print
This function prints one copy of the document to a selected printer.
The settings of the job ticket will automatically be filled-in in the
printer driver, if possible. It will be made visible to the end user which
settings are not automatically handled. The operator can change
these, and other settings manually in the printer driver. The name of
the printer on which the proof print was made will be saved as an
extra job attribute.
Print Document
This function prints the whole job to the selected printer. Pro only:
The settings of the job ticket will automatically be filled in, in the
printer driver. Not all printers are totally supported, so it will be made
visible to the end user which settings are automatically handled and
which are not. The operator can change these non automatic and
other settings manually in the printer driver. Whether the driver
window is shown, depends on a per printer settings. For more
information about supported printers see also 4.2. The name of the
printer on which the print was made will be saved as an extra job
attribute.
Pro only: Move jobs to another category manually. It is not possible
to manually move jobs to the Ready jobs category. Use Mark jobs
as ready for this.
Mark jobs as ready.
When a job is marked ready, the icon will get a ready mark. As a
default the job is moved to the Ready jobs category. This can also
be turned off. It is also possible for the operator to automatically
send an e-mail to the client when he marks a job ready.
Delete jobs manually
Note: jobs that are in the Ready jobs category are deleted
automatically after a specified time frame.
Pro only: Export job manually,
The job, including the file and the ticket can be exported to any
directory the user wants, see also 5.1.
Save document as
The current PDF file of the document can be saved in any directory
the user wants.
Pro only: Send e-mail manually
As already mentioned, the operator is able to automatically send an
e-mail when a new job comes in or when a job is marked ready, see
also chapter 6. In addition it is also possible to send an e-mail
manually. In this case, the e-mail address of the client (of the
selected job) is used, and the Operator can type his own personal
message.
It will be possible to select more then one job, using the standard button
combinations. In the menu is also a select all function available. The
following actions will stay available for a multi-selection of jobs:
Restore original file
Proof print, however this will only be convenient when the driver
window is set invisible by the operator, see also 4.2 Printer

New Jobs
Customers are sending jobs to the DPC; these are displayed as new in
the job overview. However there are two other ways of getting new jobs
into ODW:
Create new job
For creating a new job, the operator must select a PDF-file and fill in
a ticket. For this the same job ticket view is used as in the client
software. This function can be compared with PDF upload in the
client software.

The currently selected printer
The default printer
The printer, to which all job tickets are sent
From this printer overview it is possible to reach the printer settings for
the several printers, in order to view or edit them, see paragraph 4.2. No
status feedback of the printers is offered.
9.3.4.1.
Printer overview
In the printer overview all available printers are visible. In the icons is
visualised, which printer is the default and which printer is the ticket
printer.
The currently selected printer has a blue or grey background (depending
on the PCs colour settings).
It is possible to:
Select another printer
Set another printer as ticket printer
Set another printer as the default.

Printer configuration
Supported Printers
The settings of the job ticket can only be taken over in the printer driver,
when the following files are available on the Oc Doc Works system:
A printer-transformation-table for the driver of the selected printer
(each driver version needs a new table)
A mapping table, which contains information about the links between
ticket settings and driver items. A general mapping table will suffice.
In some cases a special mapping table for one specific printertransformation-table will be needed.
Oc R&D will only deliver the generic mapping table. All tables are
generated and tested by IS&S (partly outsource towards HWS DPS).
An application will be offered to Oc Support, in order to create and fill
new printer-transformation-tables, (see 3.3.4.5). Printer-transformationtables will be offered for the latest version of each DPS printer (these will
be created and released by IS&S). In the System Administration of Oc
Doc Works it is possible to edit or extend the links in the generic

The Driver Table Creator assists IS&S (and HSW DPS) in the creation of
printer transformation tables. The driver for which the transformation
table is needed should be installed on the same NT 4 server system as
this application. A question-based discovery of possible printer settings
follows. This application will only be available in English and can be
installed with a regular setup application.
Using this application, printer transformation tables can be created for all
those drivers that store their document defaults information according to
the Win32 DEVMODE specification.
For those drivers that store their information outside the DEVMODE,
settings cannot be taken over into the driver.

Automatically
Jobs can be exported from the system manually by choosing the Export
function in the menu bar. This function will ask for a destination
elsewhere on the file system, copy the PDF file attached to the job to
that destination and create a ticket file with the same name (except for
its extension) in that destination. Note that both the original and the
edited PDF document (if available) are copied into the destination.

Factory defaults.
During the installation, a default definition will be installed, containing
default list of job ticket items and default views for the Client and the
Operator.
It is the intention that these factory defaults will cover the needs of a
large group of customers. The captions in the factory defaults depend on
the chosen language.

Client side
A software license key protects the job submission client. The preview
option is also protected with a software license key.
9.7.2.
Server side
The server is protected by a software license mechanism. The servers
will be serialised with a unique serial number. This serial number will be
distributed by M&L. Beside this serial number; each application will have
a software license key.
During start-up of the application it is checked if a valid license key is
available, if not a message dialog is presented to enter a valid license
key. These licenses can also be entered and viewed using the System
Administration application.
In this way the installed software is generic and the licenses can be
distributed separately.
The software licensing is detailed in [ODWLICENSE].

Every ODW server will be equipped with a set of web pages called
homepage. This homepage will be in the same language as all other
ODW applications. It will not be modifiable by the operator or system
administrator.
This homepage gives access to the web submitter, some general ODW
information and a download page, where the following topics can be
downloaded:
The ODW Client application (setup)
The ODW optimized Distiller options
The ODW PPD file and a description on how to set its default

Service Aspects
Performance
Number of concurrent submissions
Number of jobs
The number of jobs the system can handle depends on the size of the
jobs and is limited by the overhead of job ticket information and the size
of the data partition of the PC. The response of the system is reasonable
if the total number of jobs in the system dont exceed 500 for regular
office jobs. If more jobs should be handled then the response can be
decreasing.
9.9.1.4.
Only one job can be imported at a time and only one job can be exported
at a time. Import and export can work in parallel.
9.9.1.5.
Hardware
9.9.3.
9.9.3.1.
Release identification
Each separate ODW application has an about box menu item which
describes the global release identification, current release version of that
application copyright notices and the serial number and license key.

Backup/restore
For ODW no backup/restore functionality for the server is taken into
account. Most companies do have already a backup procedure in place.
Within the contract the backup/restore is handled.
As an alternative, the Opco can decide to install locally a customer
preferred backup mechanism (i.e. DAT) on the ODW server.
The location of relevant data (i.e. job store) can be configured by means
of the System Administration application.
9.9.5.
Distribution
9.9.5.1.
Client
The ODW client application is distributed using a CD-ROM. This CDROM also contains a distribution package that allows for easy
distributions over a network (single setup file download; this is not equal
to SMS!).
No silent setup foreseen. Also no hardware distribution is foreseen.
9.9.5.2.
Server
Installation
Client
Server
For the ODW server software, an InstallShield setup procedure for CDROM installation is used. This installation should be performed on a
system that complies with the server target environment specified in
paragraph Error! Reference source not found..
This implies that any old version of Desk or Pro should be removed
before this installation is activated.
The installation will have no options. An un-install option is available.
9.9.7.
Upgrades
There will be no upgrade from existing Desk 1.1 or Pro 1.1 systems to
Desk 1.2 and/or Pro 1.2 systems. To upgrade these systems to Desk/Pro
1.2 a clean system is required, which implies that formatting of the hard
disk is required.
There will be an upgrade tool for the jobs and ticket definition of an
existing Desk 1.1 or Pro 1.1 system. This tool should be used before the
conversion to Desk/Pro 1.2. It will store the information on a user
specified location (probable a network drive). After the installation of the

The Product
10.1. Market
Oc Doc Works is targeted at small to medium sized DPC's that are
shifting to digital printing. Typical volumes are in the range of 100k to 1
mln prints per month. In Europe there are about 25.000 of these sites.
Oc is present in about 5000 of them.
Especially the small DPC's are in the process of becoming more
professional and going digital, or of being outsourced or decentralised. In
surviving this development, DPC's can be led into a new phase by
providing them with digital products and software. Oc Doc Works is an
important element in supporting this digital workflow of the DPC.
Oc Doc Works is not specifically targeted at the print-for-profit market.
However, the openness of the product will enable the application of Oc
Doc Works in selected cases via e.g. partner extensions.

Job preparation is a means by which the operator can add value to the
job. Therefore we will integrate some of this functionality in the Pro
version of Oc Doc Works (e.g. booklet making). Page Programming for
the Oc DPS400 is implemented in R1.2.
Job printing support for the operator
Ultimately the operator wants to prints the jobs. Therefore a print server
needs to support all printers that are available in the repro. Additionally
the operator is better supported if he can control the printers from the
server and if he can easily send a job to a certain printer.
In Oc Doc Works Desk basic printing support for all printers is offered.
In the Pro version the operator gets more extensive printing support by
the 'direct printing' mechanism for a selection of printers.

Functionality
12.1. Introduction
This document specifies the functionality of Oc Doc Works R1.2.1. This
specification covers both the Desk and Pro configurations.
Oc Doc Works handles the job submission from the end users desk
towards the DPC and provides operator support for processing received
jobs.
For this, Oc Doc Works has a client side and a server side containing
the following groups of functionality:
Client
A submission client integrated with Windows print environments
A submission client for existing PDF files (integrated with the client
mentioned above)
A websubmitter for job submission via the Web
Server
An operator console for viewing, editing, printing and managing
incoming jobs
A Job Ticket Editor to configure the flexible job ticket definition
An administration module to administer and configure the system
A scan input for documents scanned on the Oc 3165
An open interface for import and export of jobs and ticket definitions
This document specifies the functionality of both the Desk and Pro
configurations. Topics only available in the Desk configuration will be
labeled Desk only, topics only available in the Pro configuration will be
labeled Pro only. All non-labeled topics are available in both
configurations.
12.1.1.
12.1.2.
Only when using the original Client application (File- Print Oc Doc
Works), the ODW system is in control of the generated printable
document. With all other client side additions, the ODW system is not in
control and cannot guarantee the quality of the printable document.
This means that the promise of flawless printing cannot be
maintained for the total ODW system.

A separated message field is used to give additional information
from the DPC to the end-user (i.e. now duplex color printing
available).
A generic comment field is used to give the user the possibility to
provide additional information not covered in the job ticket settings.
(This depends on the ticket definition. A Comments field is included
in the default definition)
The user has the possibility to preview the generated PDF file. On the
other hand a job can be submitted to the DPC without the need to wait
for the complete PDF file to be generated if the user doesnt want the
preview. To enable a preview of a job a PDF file is generated. Adobe
Acrobat Reader 4.0 is used to view the generated PDF.
Preview functionality is an optional feature.

Parts of the job ticket items are more or less static. This information is
stored on the client PC and is used as default value in the job ticket. The
job ticket items that are stored are defined with the Job Ticket Editor. If a
job ticket item is changed by the end-user, then this new value will be the
default value.
If possible to retrieve, the following fields are automatically filled in: login
name, computer name, company name, Client application version,
model name (extended/basic client), view name (fixed for now) and
definition identifier.
12.2.1.8. Required job ticket items
Parts of the job ticket items are required (i.e. telephone number). Only if
the client fills in these job ticket settings with a correct value the job will
be accepted. Which job ticket items are required is defined with the Job
Ticket Editor.
12.2.1.9. Language setting
PDF upload
The user has the possibility to submit existing PDF files towards the
ODW server.
The user will be asked to fill in a job ticket. This job ticket is equal to the
job ticket used for normal submission.
All sub paragraphs of paragraph 3.2.1 except 3.2.1.1, 3.2.1.4 also apply
to PDF upload.
The system will only be supported when used with valid PDF files. See
paragraph Error! Reference source not found.. Only one PDF file can
be submitted per job. So there is no support for multiple documents on a
single job.
The size of the PDF file will determine the submission speed. The
maximum file size depends on the available hardware of the ODW
server. The ODW server will not be able to accept files that are larger
then:
The available virtual memory on the ODW server or
Half the available disk space of the disk containing the storage
directory or
The available disk space of the disk containing the IIS ftproot
directory or
1Gb
12.2.2.2. Ticket
The ticket that has to be filled in by the end-user is equal to the ticket
that is used in the client application (which is set using the Job Ticket
Editor).
The language of the ticket will be equal to the language used on the
ODW server software.

12.2.3.2. Ticket
One of the main characteristics of a job in process is its status, which will
be displayed in the overview. The following statuses are automatically
detected and will change accordingly:
loading jobs, the ticket is present, the PDF document not.
new jobs, both ticket and PDF document are present, but not opened
yet
opened jobs
Opening a job means that the job is clicked and the ticket is shown,
comparable with e-mail programs.
jobs sent to printer
error jobs
The icons in the job overview list will represent the difference in status.
Furthermore a job can be marked ready, which will be done after
printing the job. The icons of all ready jobs will contain a ready mark.
12.3.1.2. Announcement of new jobs
As stated, new jobs will be marked with a specific icon. Furthermore the
Operator is able to make the following settings for the announcement of
new jobs:
Pro only: Whether or not the ticket should be sent to a specific
printer automatically, as soon as a new job comes in

An operator can make the following settings on his job list overview:
Pro only: Define the columns (number, content and order) of the
detailed view. All job ticket items and properties are available for
selecting them as the content of a column. The column settings will
be saved and restored, after, respectively, closing and opening the
application.
Pro only: Manage categories for jobs.
In order to manage the categories for jobs, it will be possible to
create new categories, delete categories and rename categories.
However, it will not be possible to make subcategories, i.e. nesting
categories in other categories. Furthermore, it is not possible to
delete the two default categories: Unprocessed jobs and Ready
jobs.
12.3.1.4. Actions on the job list
12.3.2.
Jobs
When a job is selected in the job list, the job ticket frame shows the
settings of the job ticket. At that point the status of a document is
changed to opened. A number of actions on the selected job are
possible:

Pro only: Restore original file
With this function the original file is restored, only needed when the
operator accidentally saved the wrong file in Acrobat.
Print Job Ticket
Make a hardcopy of the job ticket that can be used for further
processing of the job or the ticket in the DPC. One printer can be
chosen to be the default ticket printer.
Pro only: Proof print
This function prints one copy of the document to a selected printer.
The settings of the job ticket will automatically be filled-in in the
printer driver, if possible. It will be made visible to the end user which
settings are not automatically handled. The operator can change
these, and other settings manually in the printer driver. The name of
the printer on which the proof print was made will be saved as an
extra job attribute.
Print Document
This function prints the whole job to the selected printer. Pro only:
The settings of the job ticket will automatically be filled in, in the
printer driver. Not all printers are totally supported, so it will be made
visible to the end user which settings are automatically handled and
which are not. The operator can change these non automatic and
other settings manually in the printer driver. Whether the driver
window is shown, depends on a per printer settings. For more
information about supported printers see also 4.2. The name of the
printer on which the print was made will be saved as an extra job
attribute.
Pro only: Move jobs to another category manually. It is not possible
to manually move jobs to the Ready jobs category. Use Mark jobs
as ready for this.
Mark jobs as ready.
When a job is marked ready, the icon will get a ready mark. As a
default the job is moved to the Ready jobs category. This can also
be turned off. It is also possible for the operator to automatically
send an e-mail to the client when he marks a job ready.
Delete jobs manually
Note: jobs that are in the Ready jobs category are deleted
automatically after a specified time frame.
Pro only: Export job manually,
The job, including the file and the ticket can be exported to any
directory the user wants, see also 5.1.
Save document as
The current PDF file of the document can be saved in any directory
the user wants.
Pro only: Send e-mail manually
As already mentioned, the operator is able to automatically send an
e-mail when a new job comes in or when a job is marked ready, see
also chapter 6. In addition it is also possible to send an e-mail
manually. In this case, the e-mail address of the client (of the
selected job) is used, and the Operator can type his own personal
message.
It will be possible to select more then one job, using the standard button
combinations. In the menu is also a select all function available. The
following actions will stay available for a multi-selection of jobs:
Restore original file
Proof print, however this will only be convenient when the driver
window is set invisible by the operator, see also 4.2 Printer
configuration.

operator sets the driver window invisible.
Print Job Ticket
Move jobs to another category manually
Mark jobs as ready
Delete jobs manually
Export jobs manually
Customers are sending jobs to the DPC; these are displayed as new in
the job overview. However there are two other ways of getting new jobs
into ODW:
Create new job
For creating a new job, the operator must select a PDF-file and fill in
a ticket. For this the same job ticket view is used as in the client
software. This function can be compared with PDF upload in the
client software.
Pro only: Import job manually
Single jobs can be imported manually, see for more information
paragraph 3.5.

are Acrobat specific. The following information can be obtained from this
printer overview directly:
The currently selected printer
The default printer
The printer, to which all job tickets are sent
From this printer overview it is possible to reach the printer settings for
the several printers, in order to view or edit them, see paragraph 4.2. No
status feedback of the printers is offered.
12.3.4.1. Printer overview
In the printer overview all available printers are visible. In the icons is
visualised, which printer is the default and which printer is the ticket
printer.
The currently selected printer has a blue or grey background (depending
on the PCs colour settings).
It is possible to:
Select another printer
Set another printer as ticket printer
Set another printer as the default.
12.3.4.2. Printer configuration
The settings of the job ticket can only be taken over in the printer driver,
when the following files are available on the Oc Doc Works system:
A printer-transformation-table for the driver of the selected printer
(each driver version needs a new table)
A mapping table, which contains information about the links between
ticket settings and driver items. A general mapping table will suffice.
In some cases a special mapping table for one specific printertransformation-table will be needed.
Oc R&D will only deliver the generic mapping table. All tables are
generated and tested by IS&S (partly outsource towards HWS DPS).
An application will be offered to Oc Support, in order to create and fill
new printer-transformation-tables, (see 3.3.4.5). Printer-transformationtables will be offered for the latest version of each DPS printer (these will
be created and released by IS&S). In the System Administration of Oc
Doc Works it is possible to edit or extend the links in the generic

The Driver Table Creator assists IS&S (and HSW DPS) in the creation of
printer transformation tables. The driver for which the transformation
table is needed should be installed on the same NT 4 server system as
this application. A question-based discovery of possible printer settings
follows. This application will only be available in English and can be
installed with a regular setup application.
Using this application, printer transformation tables can be created for all
those drivers that store their document defaults information according to
the Win32 DEVMODE specification.
For those drivers that store their information outside the DEVMODE,
settings cannot be taken over into the driver.
12.3.4.6. Printer feedback
The operator console will not provide any banner page functionality
except for the banner page configuration that is possible in the Windows
NT printing mechanism.
12.3.5.
12.3.5.1. Manually
12.3.6.1. Manually
Jobs can be exported from the system manually by choosing the Export
function in the menu bar. This function will ask for a destination
elsewhere on the file system, copy the PDF file attached to the job to
that destination and create a ticket file with the same name (except for
its extension) in that destination. Note that both the original and the
edited PDF document (if available) are copied into the destination.

During the installation, a default definition will be installed, containing
default list of job ticket items and default views for the Client and the
Operator.
It is the intention that these factory defaults will cover the needs of a
large group of customers. The captions in the factory defaults depend on
the chosen language.

Software protection
A software license key will protect the Job Ticket Editor.
Client side
A software license key protects the job submission client. The preview
option is also protected with a software license key.
12.7.2.
Server side
The server is protected by a software license mechanism. The servers
will be serialised with a unique serial number. This serial number will be
distributed by M&L. Beside this serial number; each application will have
a software license key.
During start-up of the application it is checked if a valid license key is
available, if not a message dialog is presented to enter a valid license
key. These licenses can also be entered and viewed using the System
Administration application.
In this way the installed software is generic and the licenses can be
distributed separately.
The software licensing is detailed in [ODWLICENSE].
Language support
The language on the client and the server must be the same.
For the operating system for the server applications only Microsoft NT
English is supported.

Performance
The number of jobs the system can handle depends on the size of the
jobs and is limited by the overhead of job ticket information and the size
of the data partition of the PC. The response of the system is reasonable
if the total number of jobs in the system dont exceed 500 for regular
office jobs. If more jobs should be handled then the response can be
decreasing.
12.9.1.4. Pro only: Number of concurrent Import/Export operations
Only one job can be imported at a time and only one job can be exported
at a time. Import and export can work in parallel.
12.9.1.5. Hardware
Release identification
Each separate ODW application has an about box menu item which
describes the global release identification, current release version of that
application copyright notices and the serial number and license key.

Backup/restore
For ODW no backup/restore functionality for the server is taken into
account. Most companies do have already a backup procedure in place.
Within the contract the backup/restore is handled.
As an alternative, the Opco can decide to install locally a customer
preferred backup mechanism (i.e. DAT) on the ODW server.
The location of relevant data (i.e. job store) can be configured by means
of the System Administration application.
12.9.5.
Distribution
12.9.5.1. Client
The ODW client application is distributed using a CD-ROM. This CDROM also contains a distribution package that allows for easy
distributions over a network (single setup file download; this is not equal
to SMS!).
No silent setup foreseen. Also no hardware distribution is foreseen.
12.9.5.2. Server
Installation
12.9.6.1. Client
For the ODW server software, an InstallShield setup procedure for CDROM installation is used. This installation should be performed on a
system that complies with the server target environment specified in
paragraph Error! Reference source not found..
This implies that any old version of Desk or Pro should be removed
before this installation is activated.
The installation will have no options. An un-install option is available.
12.9.7.
Upgrades
There will be no upgrade from existing Desk 1.1 or Pro 1.1 systems to
Desk 1.2 and/or Pro 1.2 systems. To upgrade these systems to Desk/Pro
1.2 a clean system is required, which implies that formatting of the hard
disk is required.
There will be an upgrade tool for the jobs and ticket definition of an
existing Desk 1.1 or Pro 1.1 system. This tool should be used before the
conversion to Desk/Pro 1.2. It will store the information on a user
specified location (probable a network drive). After the installation of the
