Sample Current Job not supported

Hint/Tip Description
Output Reposition is not supported for IPDS jobs. As
with Sample current job, this feature would also cause
incorrect page counts to be reported to the host. How-
ever, host operator commands can be used for forward
and backward space within a job.
In the IPDS environment, the host operator is expected
to effect repositioning commands from the host plat-
form (for example, JES2 $f and $b commands for for-
ward and backward spacing respectively). The FreeFlow
Print Server IPDS implementation manages this reposi-
tioning on the basis of the current set of IPDS counters
returned by the printer. Do not use the FreeFlow Print
Server Reposition Output dialog with IPDS jobs.
The pause feature should not be used with IPDS as a
way to continue RIPping while deferring printing. It is
not feasible to RIP a large print run ahead of printing
for IPDS, since throttling will limit the number of com-
mitted sheets in excess of the number of stacked sheets.
Specific printer status problems are not described with
Intervention Required messages. Only a generic message
is sent.
User Action: Operator should ensure that their manage-
ment process for this system does not depend on the
printer providing a specific description of what is wrong
(e.g. Check the printer for the specific problem vs. relying
on the host message.)
The IPS Manager is not automatically informed when
physical tray contents are changed at the FreeFlow Print
Server. Instead, you must use the Refresh mechanism
provided by the IPDS Tray/Bin Mappings dialog to dis-
play the latest mapping information.
FreeFlow Print Server Remote Workflow (DRW) does not
support the IPS Manager.
Sample current job is not supported for IPDS jobs. The
IPDS host presumes full control over the jobs output,
and this feature would cause incorrect page counts to
be reported to the host. The FreeFlow Print Server GUI
currently only supports this capability at the Printer
Manager level, and is not able to set this capability for
individual jobs or queues. Therefore, the FreeFlow Print
Server GUI does not prevent selecting Sample Current
Job. However, the request will not be honored for an
IPDS job, and no warning message will be provided.
