Multiple Copy Page Counting Constraints And Considerations - Xerox 6100BD - Phaser Color Laser Printer User Manual

Using Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server IPS Manager
3- 1 8
the print server only supports these features for spooling jobs,
and Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server IPDS can only be used with
streaming queues.
NOTE: The system can feed inserts and covers from non-fusing
tray in response to application commands as described in
Virtual Trays for Non-Fusing
NOTE: If job accounting on the host is to be accurate and to avoid
limitations of the Save facility with the IPDS jobs, use the Print and
Retain feature on the host.

Multiple Copy Page Counting Constraints and Considerations

The following considerations apply to the use of the Output
Quantity (multiple copies) feature with IPDS:
• Some IPDS hosts may time-out the printer, if a response is not
received within a certain period of time. Therefore, the user
should only use the Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server Output
Quantity (multiple copies) queue feature for relatively low
numbers of uncollated copies, or a relatively small run of
collated copies. As a rule of thumb, host commands, rather
than the print server Output Quantity feature, should be used,
if Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server copy processing is likely to
delay job processing or page reports for four minutes, or more.
• After printing a page, Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server will
include the page in the count of stacked pages it provides to
the IPDS host. If the printer subsequently prints additional
copies of the page in response to the print server Output
Quantity setting, it cannot report these additional copies of the
page to the host, since the host does not recognize them, and
doing so would distort the stacked page count. Therefore,
once the printer tells the host that all pages in the job have
been stacked, the host considers the job complete, even if a
substantial number of additional pages remain to be printed to
meet the required output quantity. If there is a failure, after all
pages in the job have been reported to the host as stacked,
but before all copies have printing, IPDS host recovery will not
cause the remaining copies to print, since it will appear to the
host that the job has already completed.
• If a failure occurs while Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server is
processing multiple copies for an IPDS job, additional copies
will be printed for pages retransmitted by the host, even if
copies were previously created for the page. Depending on
when the failure occurred, there could be additional copies, up
to double the expected number of copies, for all retransmitted
pages.\
