Print servers InfoPrint print servers receive print jobs from various sources and prepare them to be sent to a printer. After print jobs have been prepared, the print server interacts with the printer to make sure that all the required resources are available, then sends the print job data to be printed. Several different print servers are available. Although they provide much of the same function, they are appropriate for different environments. InfoPrint Manager InfoPrint Manager is a flexible and scalable print management solution for AIX or Windows that provides many choices in expanding and managing your print environment. InfoPrint Manager can process print jobs that contain references to color management resources and interact with centralized resource libraries. When InfoPrint Manager receives AFP or line data print jobs, it processes CMRs and data objects similar to the way it processes other AFP resources. You can add the resource libraries that you create using AFP Resource Installer to the Location of presentation object containers property (also called the resource-contextpresentation-object-container attribute) of your actual destinations. Then, InfoPrint Manager can search those resource libraries to find data objects and CMRs when print jobs request them. Enabling capture for CMRs: If the jobs that run through your system use the same CMRs, you might want to enable your actual destination to capture inline CMRs. These inline CMRs must have an object identified (OID) so InfoPrint Manager can capture them. From the InfoPrint Manager Administration GUI: 1. Click on the actual destination and select Printer → Properties. 2. From the actual destination's Printer Properties notebook, click the Tuning tab. 3. Find the Capture inline CMR resources radio button. If you can't see the Capture inline CMR resources radio button, click Show more. 4. Scroll to the bottom of the screen and click the Yes radio button for the Capture inline CMR resources setting. Page Printer Formatting Aid (PPFA): PPFA is a feature of InfoPrint Manager that lets you create form definitions and page definitions for use with your AFP print jobs. You can use PPFA to associate CMRs with form definitions and page definitions for your color print jobs. The form definitions and page definitions that you create using PPFA can be used in print jobs that are sent to InfoPrint Manager and InfoPrint ProcessDirector. InfoPrint ProcessDirector InfoPrint ProcessDirector is a database-driven print workflow system that lets you manage all aspects of your printing process. The server runs on an AIX or Linux® system and is accessed using a Web browser-based interface. InfoPrint ProcessDirector can receive and process AFP print jobs that include AFP color management objects. Chapter 25. Color and grayscale printing using AFP 245
