Iowa State recently acquired a Xerox 4050. We are generally
impressed with the operation of the device but we are having
two annoying software problems that have to do with processing
DJDE's.
The first problem is that the first DJDE record after a page
eject is ignored by the 4050 if you have told the machine
you're going to be doing graphics and text. The second problem
is that dynamic memory does not seem to be getting thoroughly
cleared after DJDE processing. After so many jobs, we get an
INSUFFICIENT DYNAMIC MEMORY... message, the 4050 stops
accepting input, and we have to print out the remaining jobs in
the 4050's spool and reset the machine before it will accept
any more work. This happens about once every 45 minutes to one
hour depending on load.
We are also having some problems with the Xerox software
zapping its own accounting file every so often and we have to
recreate a proper version of the file before we can print
again.
All of these problems have been SPARred with Xerox. We were
wondering if any body else out on the net has had any
experiences likes these and what they did about them.
