Variable Information

If a customer is successfully running VIPP (Variable data Intelligent PostScript
Printware) or Xerox FreeFlow Variable Information Suite, it will work similarly
across the Xerox portfolio when using the Xerox FreeFlow Print Server. The
same Xerox infrastructure in place today will support existing applications on
the Xerox FreeFlow Print Server version 9.0 SP3.
Variable information is a very complex subject. Many variables exist that
impact a file. File creation, emitters, PostScript code, type of server, are just a
few of the things that will affect Variable Code. It is always in the best interest
to test a file prior to gain an understanding of any possible issues in the
workflow. A Xerox Analyst can help in the process. There is always opportunity
for a customer to correct and develop an efficient workflow to gain the best
throughput.
IPDS
Intelligent Printer Data Stream (IPDS) is IBMs Systems Application
Architecture host-to-printer data stream for
Presentation subsystems. It provides an attachment-independent interface
for controlling and managing all-points-addressable (APA) printers that
allow the presentation of pages containing an unlimited mixture of
different data types, including text, image, graphics, bar code, and object
container. It is used by a variety of print servers that drive all-points-
addressable (APA) page printers. Generally these printers are at the medium
to high end of the print speed and volume spectrum.
IPDS is now part of a single Xerox FreeFlow installation disk so versions are
kept concurrent. For further information please see the IPDS Customer
Expectation Document.
 PPDs are provided for Windows 2003, Windows 2008, XP, Windows 7,
Windows 8 and 8.1, Vista, and Server 2012.
