INCORPORATING XEROX VALUE-ADDED FEATURES

Media destination (output bin) selection

This feature allows you to select a specific output bin for an individual job instead of waiting for the current bin to be filled before switching to the next available output bin. You can specify a value from 1 to 65535 as the output bin number.

Note: Allow Host Control on the GUI to enable the media destination selection:

•For PSF/MVS, specify the output bin number for the OUTBIN keyword in your JCL OUTPUT statement.

•

•

•

For PSF/VM, set the OUTBIN options keyword on your PSF command line or PSF OPTIONS file to the correct bin number.

For PSF/VSE, set the OUTBIN JCL keyword on your * $$ LST statement to the correct bin number.

For InfoPrint Manager/PSF for AIX (v2.1 and higher), set the output bin number either for each printer in the printer profile or for each job using a print submission parameter.

Feeding and finishing

The Document Feeding and Finishing Architecture (DFA) feature enables the DocuPrint IPS printers to support specific options for third-party feeding and finishing devices, including:

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

the ability to map the Roll-Feed and downstream finishing devices to AFP input trays and output bins selected from an AFP medium map or host JCL.

the ability to map Finishing Function 1 (FF1) and FF2 to a Medium Modification ID in the Select Medium Modification (SMM) command. When IPS finds a match between a modification ID in the SMM command and the number mapped to a finishing function, it will apply that finishing function to the current sheet until the next SMM command is encountered. Two vendors who supply finishing devices are Baldwin-Davlin and Roll Systems; both use the FF1 signal to control document stitching.

support for end-of-set and end-of-job DFA signals.

recovery from a set boundary following finishing device jams, etc.

the ability to define DFA set and job boundaries from an AFP application as specified by the JOG OFFSET and MarkForm commands (similar to current stitching support).

setting global DFA processing parameters such as maximum and minimum set size and segment ordering.

the creation of named input and output DFA profiles, which allow you to associate a set of DFA attributes or parameters with specific DFA devices.
