Page 29: When To Backup And Restore A Configuration
When to Backup and Restore a Configuration System Guide The Backup Configuration option allows the Administrator to select all or some of the Xerox FreeFlow Print Server configuration settings to backup and then restore. The backup configuration allows for fast and efficient saving of user settings. -
Page 30: Restore Configuration
It is not recommended that jobs be backed up using the Configuration Backup. Use the Print Services feature to save jobs as TIFF or FRF files on the Xerox FreeFlow Print Server controller or on another storage location. Using Print Services saves job ticket information as well as retaining color settings over software upgrades. - Page 31 The basic purpose of System Backup and Restore is to save a snapshot of the entire Solaris and Xerox FreeFlow Print Server disk for recovery at a later time. System Backup and Restore is useful for restoring the system quickly after the corruption of the software.
-
Page 32: Troubleshooting
What does Configuration Backup and Restore actually save? Configuration Backup saves user defined settings only. It does not save operating system or Xerox FreeFlow Print Server software. It does not fix software corruption failures. What does System Backup save? System Backup makes a snapshot or image of the entire disk, including the operating system and Xerox FreeFlow Print Server software. -

Page 54: Subset Offset (Page Level Jog)
However, the 61xx is not mechanically capable of jogging to the top tray. The use of the PCL separator command, <ESC>&l1T, in combination with Xerox FreeFlow enables subset finishing for PCL jobs. The PCL separator command defines offset segments of a job. PCL does not commonly support finishing. -
Page 55: Pcl Offset Stacking
The following information should be considered when using the PCL separator command: • The offset switch in Printer Manager in the Xerox FreeFlow Print Server software must be set to ON. If the offset switch is set to OFF and a job with the PCL separator command is received, the sets will not offset when the job is printed. -
