Introduction
• BCOCA: Bar Code Object Content Architecture
• CMOCA: Color Management Object Content Architecture
Each of the data objects follows the same object rule of containing delimited fields within the structure
fields describing each object.
IPDS commands within the data stream enable the system to control the media-handling capabilities
of the printer and other operations dealing with paper. The commands also provide the means for
managing the downloading of fonts and stored objects, such as overlays and page segments that are
required to print an application.
Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server IPDS provides the ability to:
• Properly image all supported IPDS resources.
• Recognize and process all required IPDS commands supported by the Xerox FreeFlow® Print
Server.
Printers
IPDS data stream printing is supported on a variety of Xerox cut sheet production devices with Xerox
FreeFlow® Print Server, including light production, production monochrome, highlight color, and color
printers.
