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: If job accounting on the host is to be accurate and to avoid limitations of the Save facility with the IPDS jobs, use the Print and Retain feature on the host.
Multiple Copy Page Counting Constraints and Considerations
The following considerations apply to the use of the Output Quantity (multiple copies) feature with IPDS:
•Some IPDS hosts may
•After printing a page, Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server will include the page in the count of stacked pages it provides to the IPDS host. If the printer subsequently prints additional copies of the page in response to the print server Output Quantity setting, it cannot report these additional copies of the page to the host, since the host does not recognize them, and doing so would distort the stacked page count. Therefore, once the printer tells the host that all pages in the job have been stacked, the host considers the job complete, even if a substantial number of additional pages remain to be printed to meet the required output quantity. If there is a failure, after all pages in the job have been reported to the host as stacked, but before all copies have printing, IPDS host recovery will not cause the remaining copies to print, since it will appear to the host that the job has already completed.
•If a failure occurs while Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server is processing multiple copies for an IPDS job, additional copies will be printed for pages retransmitted by the host, even if copies were previously created for the page. Depending on when the failure occurred, there could be additional copies, up to double the expected number of copies, for all retransmitted pages.\
