Mapping The Ipds Output Bins To Physical Destinations; Creating Stacker Groups - Xerox 6100BD - Phaser Color Laser Printer User Manual

IPDS User Guide
Stacking, the system directs output to suitable bins as determined
by an internal selection mechanism.
If Unload While Run is supported by the printer, Printer Specified
Stacking allows you to unload one bin while the printer continues
to deliver sheets to another bin.

Mapping the IPDS Output Bins to Physical Destinations

The print server sends a list of available IPDS bins to the host.
The maximum number of virtual bins permitted is equal to the
number of physical stackers in the system. The IPS Manager
allows you to select which of the existing physical stackers map to
which of the specific virtual bins. This mapping is included in the
Job Profile.
Many print engines have a number of output locations that may be
used during the course of a job. In addition to stackers, output
locations may be top trays, DFA devices, bypass transports, etc.
Stacker mapping allows the host application to direct pages to
specific output locations on a sheet-by-sheet basis by associating
virtual bins recognized by the host with particular output locations
on the print engine.
To map the bins to stackers:
1. Open [IPS Manager] Stacker Mappings tab.
2. For each virtual Bin used by the host application, select the
pull-down menu on the Output Location column entry for the
bin, and select the appropriate Stacker or Group.
3. Select [Host Specified Stacking] from the pull-down menu.
4. Select [Save & Apply] to save your settings and apply them
immediately or select [Save] or [Save As] to store your
changes in an existing or new 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.
Stacker Groups allow multiple destinations to be assigned to a
virtual bin. This allows the job to switch between the different
assigned destinations improving throughput and allowing the
operator to unload the stacker while the job continues to be
delivered to another destination. This is similar to Printer
Specified Stacking but the difference is that the system will only
switch among the stackers in the group rather than among all
enabled stackers.
Stacker Groups are created in the print server Printer Manager,
under Stacking. Select [Create Stacker Group] to create a new
group or right click on a group and select [Properties] to change
the stackers within an existing group. After a stacker group is
