XEROX DOCUPRINT 4850/4890 IPS GUIDE TO CONFIGURING AND MANAGING THE SYSTEM

Printing a trace file

You can print a trace file using the conprt utility as follows:

1. After capturing the trace and verifying its effects by using the

“Execute trace” option from the Trace Mode pull-down list, open
a Unix command tool.

2. Change the working directory by entering:

cd /var/db

3. Process the trace file using the ipdeb utility by entering:

ipdeb trace > trace_debug (for uncompressed files) or

ipdeb trace.Z > trace_debug (for compressed files)

This creates the file trace_debug that will be an English
rendition of the hex data.

Note:

The ipdeb utility supplies default values for those

parameters that are not supplied. The defaults are:

Paper size: USLetter (8.5 by 11-inch)

Resolution: -r 300

Directory: current directory.

To print a file from a directory other than the current directory,
specify the directory as a separate field following the file
name.

4. To print the trace file on a DocuPrint 4850/4890 IPS in duplex,

enter:

conprt -d trace_debug [/var/db]

where /var/db is the directory, and is optional.

Note:

The conprt utility determines whether to specify mono or

hilite for the -c option.

Note:

If you are using a paper size other than USLetter (8.5 by

11-inch), specify the dimensions of the paper in pels by using the
-x option. For example, for A4 paper on a DocuPrint 4850/4890
IPS enter:

conprt -d -x 3520x2480 trace_debug [/var/db]

Note:

Do not use the conprt utility with large files because

each page of a text file requires about 1 MB of disk space.
