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.
