Defining the Target Queue in the Print Server At least one queue must be created on the Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server for processing the IPDS data. Queues used for IPDS must be defined as streaming queues. Refer to the Xerox FreeFlow®... -
Page 13: Creating An Ipds Target Queue
Refer to the following properties to make selections for IPDS queue. Settings Although Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server supports spooling jobs, as well as streaming for other Printer Description Languages (PDLs), only streaming is supported for IPDS. This is because... -
Page 14: Managing The Print Queue
Ordinarily an IPDS printer is expected to report exceptions to the host when data on a page does not fit within the virtual printable area (VPA). The following queue attributes are not used in Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server IPDS VPA calculations and can result in data being shifted or rotated out of the printable area without notifying the host. -
Page 15: Queue Properties
Installation and Setup NOTE: If an image shift is done at the IPDS queue level, then the banner page of the IPDS job will contain the image shift as well. Therefore, the data on the banner page may be shifted off the page. - Page 16 Installation and Setup PostScript. For instance, if PostScript uses a default halftone of 106 lpi for 600 dpi, the IPDS tool will use the same halftone value for Resolution of 600. IPDS User Guide 2- 6...

NOT set for the queue Programming Stock Margins Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server supports Stock Margin adjustments that are recognized by IPDS interpreter software. Stock Margins are specified in relation to the print engine process direction. This is the direction a sheet of paper moves through the print engine. -
Page 18: Loading Ibm Afp Resident Outline Fonts
AFP Resident Outline Fonts NOTE: Loading IBM® AFP fonts is optional. Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server IPDS provides the ability to load and use printer-resident AFP scalable outline fonts. These fonts are loaded from the IBM® AFP Font Collection CD, which is purchased separately. -
Page 19: Enhanced Font Support
Fonts for AIX®, OS/2®, Windows® NT, and Windows® 2000 (part number LK2T9269-01). Only the LK2T-9269-01 part number is supported by Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server IPDS. Ensure to specify the correct part number when ordering the font collection. Fonts are converted for use with IPDS jobs and stored on the printer when the fonts are loaded. -
Page 20: I5/Os® (System I) Setup
Fonts Dialog. Defining a Logical Printer Before using Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server IPDS to process IPDS data streams, the host must have a printer defined for Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server IPDS with the following requirements: • For TCP/IP connectivity, the Internet Protocol (IP) address and port number of the printer must match the IP address and port number of the printer. -
Page 21: Printing A Trace Job Within Ips Manager
In order for the trace scfont.trc to print correctly, the IBM® AFP fonts must be loaded on the printer and Enhanced Font Support must be enabled. NOTE: These jobs test only Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server IPDS processing on the printer. The trace files are set up to use the installation default parameters. -

Page 27: Trace
Eject CD: This option allows you to tell the system to eject a Trace Trace information is useful for diagnosing and correcting problems with the Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server IPDS software. A trace file must be part of the set of diagnostic files provided with an outload file. -
Page 28: Job Profile Editor
The options in the IPS Manager “Manage Job Profiles” dialog allow you to enter the IPDS specific settings used by Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server IPDS to compose the pages specified by the IPDS data stream. The print server retains all parameter values on the print server during shutdown and restores the settings the next time you start the IPDS system. - Page 29 90 degrees in the clockwise direction. If the same application is printed on an IBM® 3800 printer, which is a continuous form printer, and a Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server IPS Manager printer, which is a cut sheet printer, the output may print in the wrong orientation or extend off the edge of the page.

Define the Physical Tray Stock Setup 1. Set the stock definitions for each physical tray in the Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server Printer Manager. 2. Stock mappings can be stored and retrieved as needed as part of job setup files. -
Page 32: Map Virtual Trays For Non-Fusing Stock
Map Virtual Trays for Non-Fusing Stock Non-fusing paper trays are input devices that feed paper without allowing it to print. Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server IPDS is fully compliant with the standard IPDS model for support of non-fusing paper trays. When virtual trays are mapped to non-fusing physical trays, Xerox FreeFlow®... -

Job Profile for future use. Creating Stacker Groups Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server allows the user to define stacker groups by name so that they can be referenced both from the Queue Manager / Job Manager GUI, as well as from the IPS Manager GUI. -
Page 36: Saving The Job Profile
Using Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server IPS Manager created in the Printer Manager, the IPS Manager Stacker Mappings tab includes stacker groups in the pull-down menu for the Output Location. The Output Location column shows the mapped output destination for the IPDS virtual bin. This location is a particular stacker, a stacker group, or another output location, such as a Top Tray, or DFA device. -
Page 37: Open A Job Profile
Using Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server IPS Manager NOTE: Changing the loaded settings with Save & Apply or Save requires that the IPDS Gateway inform the host regarding the changes. This should be done while the printer is not processing any IPDS jobs. If changes are saved while an IPDS job is printing,... -
Page 38: Run Time Considerations
IPDS Jobs and Paused Systems It is important to be aware that submitting an IPDS job to a paused Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server will cause it to stop after receiving the first page. While other PDL types can RIP and wait for the paused printer, this is not the case for IPDS and is normal behavior for an IPDS job. -
Page 39: Page Count Reporting
Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server reports only IPDS application pages in the Committed and Stacked page counts returned to IPDS hosts. Pages that are printed in response to Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server features are excluded from the count. For example, system generated slip-sheets are not counted. -
Page 40: Multiple Copy Page Counting Constraints And Considerations
Using Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server IPS Manager 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... -
Page 41: Page Counting Constraints And Considerations
FreeFlow® Print Server IPDS must report pages to the host as stacked as they are processed, even though they are not yet written to the output media. For this reason, Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server cannot support IPDS host recovery for jobs saved to write-once media. -
Page 42: Canceling Ipds Jobs
The host then sends the end banner. The printer processes these final pages just as it would any other print data. The Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server job status indicates that the job ends normally after these final trailer pages are printed. - Page 43 IPDS cancel for Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server can only be performed for a job that is currently being decomposed. If cancel...
