This section addresses how to set printing workflow. It also describes the printing utilities that are available in the Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server software and how to use the Print Server for TIFF orientation, and VIPP printing.

Printing workflow options

The two printing workflow options available are First In/First Out (FIFO) and Resource Based Scheduling (RBS).

FIFO out can be set either on a limited scheduling/printing basis or as the default printing workflow for the site. In either case FIFO printing provides the capability to force jobs to fault and print in FIFO order without regard to available paper stocks and other variables. Typical applications include zip sorted work, VI print-for- one, direct mail and financial data.

Resource Based Scheduling, which is the initial default option, places jobs for which resources are available into the print stream first. Jobs that require additional resources, like media, are placed in an ineligible state awaiting resource availability. Resource Based Scheduling optimizes the utilization of the printer.

First In/First Out (FIFO) printing

Workflow is referred to as FIFO when jobs are printed in the same order in which they are received. For FIFO printing, the Queue must also have the Release status set to Yes.

To set FIFO scheduling, perform the following:

1.Select [Setup] on the main menu.

2.Select [System Preferences].

3.Under Scheduling Mode, click FIFO.

NOTE: See the Online Help for detailed procedures.
