Xerox 701P47301 Creating an Ipds Target Queue, Setting External Finishers in the Printer Manager

Installation and Setup

Creating an IPDS Target Queue

In the Queue Manager, select [New] from the Queue drop down menu, or from the short cut icon. Refer to the following properties to make selections for IPDS queue.

Settings

Although Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server supports spooling jobs, as well as streaming for other Printer Description Languages (PDLs), only streaming is supported for IPDS. This is because IPDS job recovery is controlled by the host, and depends upon the host receiving messages from the printer telling it when each page has been printed. This level of host control cannot be achieved when jobs are spooled.

You must select a streaming printer queue in the IPS Manager to be used for IPDS printing. A streaming queue processes and prints pages as they are received, which results in minimal delay between the time the job is submitted and when printing begins.

•Select the Input / Format FAB. Under Input, select [Streaming].

The Limit Ripped Data checkbox in the Input / Format FAB should always be left unchecked for queues used for IPDS.

Setting External Finishers in the Printer Manager

Determine if the system contains an external finisher. If the system contains an external finisher, open the Printer Manager and select the Finisher tab. Right-click on the external finisher and select [Properties]. Under Maximum Set Size, the default setting is 65000. Set the value to the actual maximum set size of the external finisher, otherwise performance issues may be encountered.
