Variable Information

If a customer is successfully running a Xerox® FreeFlow® Variable
Information Suite 11.0 (Variable data Intelligent PostScript Printware)
workflow, it will work similarly across the Xerox portfolio when using the EX
Print Server. The same Xerox infrastructure in place today will support
existing applications on the EX Print Server.
Variable information is a very complex subject. Many variables exist that
impact a file. File creation, emitters, PostScript code and type of server, are
just a few of the things that will affect Variable Code. It is advisable to test
a file prior to gain an understanding of any possible issues in the workflow.
A Xerox Analyst can help in the process and there is always opportunity for
a customer to correct and develop an efficient workflow to gain the best
throughput.
This is not supported on the EX-i Print Server
