Job submission
Job submission
Introduction
Job submission via other protocols than HTTP or via hot folders is not part of the JDF standard.
When jobs are submitted via non-standard protocols, the controller does not behave as a JDF
device. This means that no information is returned to the sender.
Non standard JDF submission protocols
Description
The following submission protocols are supported for submitting jobs with JDF tickets:
• LPR
• Socket 9100
• SMB (print)
Ticket and PDL data structure
Description
The job structure must consists in the concatenation of elements in the following order:
• UTF-8 BOM or nothing, or
• UTF-8 JDF ticket followed by no XML comment after the ending tag '</JDF>'
• Followed by the PDL data.
The PDL data consists of one document per job.
Inside the job ticket, a URL references the data:
<FileSpec URL="cid:doc@hostname.com"/>
Example
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<JDF>
<ResourcePool>
<FileSpec URL="cid:doc@hostname.com"/>
</ResourcePool>
</JDF>
%!PS-Adobe-3.0
...
Remark
When the XML header (i.e the JDF ticket) is added to the PDL data, the resulting job is not
compliant with the PDL specification, e.g with PostScript. Such a job might be rejected by Océ
products that do not support JDF or by non-Océ devices.
