Installation and Setup Managing the Print Queue Using Queue Overrides The IPDS information processed by the IPDS gateway is sent to the Output queue selected in the IPS Manager. Use the Queue Manager to view and manage the queue properties applied to jobs. Under the PDL Settings tab, the IPDS FAB on the Queue Manager dialog may be used to set the resolution of the print data supplied to the print engine. Values of 300 or 600 dpi may be selected. While you may want to dedicate a queue to IPDS, the queue may still be used for other PDLs, subject to the rules of the print server job and queue management. The PDL Format must not be set to override for any PDL other than IPDS for a queue that is used to print IPDS jobs. NOTE: Setting the Override lock for IPDS will force all job data to be processed as IPDS, preventing the queue from processing non-IPDS jobs. Note that a number of print server queue properties can affect the attributes of the printed job. In an IPDS environment, the host is typically responsible for controlling the attributes of the printed data. Changing the attributes of the job could cause Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server IPDS data to print incorrectly. Setting queue defaults for such properties does not interfere with the values selected by the IPS Manager. However, overrides for the following queue properties must be avoided: • Stock attributes (Name, Size, Color, Type, Weight) • Output Location Virtual Printable Area Considerations Ordinarily an IPDS printer is expected to report exceptions to the host when data on a page does not fit within the virtual printable area (VPA). The following queue attributes are not used in Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server IPDS VPA calculations and can result in data being shifted or rotated out of the printable area without notifying the host. • Rotation • Image Shift • Alignment KEY POINT: Use the Stock Margins feature for shifting data and having it used as part of the VPA calculations. 2-4 IPDS User Guide

IPDS User Guide
Installation and Setup
Managing the Print Queue
Using Queue Overrides
The IPDS information processed by the IPDS gateway is sent to
the Output queue selected in the IPS Manager. Use the Queue
Manager to view and manage the queue properties applied to
jobs. Under the PDL Settings tab, the IPDS FAB on the Queue
Manager dialog may be used to set the resolution of the print data
supplied to the print engine. Values of 300 or 600 dpi may be
selected.
While you may want to dedicate a queue to IPDS, the queue may
still be used for other PDLs, subject to the rules of the print server
job and queue management.
The PDL Format must not be set to
override for any PDL other than IPDS for a queue that is used to
print IPDS jobs.
NOTE:
Setting the Override lock for IPDS will force all job data to
be processed as IPDS, preventing the queue from processing
non-IPDS jobs.
Note that a number of print server queue properties can affect the
attributes of the printed job.
In an IPDS environment, the host is
typically responsible for controlling the attributes of the printed
data.
Changing the attributes of the job could cause Xerox
FreeFlow® Print Server IPDS data to print incorrectly. Setting
queue defaults for such properties does not interfere with the
values selected by the IPS Manager. However, overrides for the
following queue properties must be avoided:
•
Stock attributes (Name, Size, Color, Type, Weight)
•
Output Location
Virtual Printable Area Considerations
Ordinarily an IPDS printer is expected to report exceptions to the
host when data on a page does not fit within the virtual printable
area (VPA).
The following queue attributes are not used in Xerox
FreeFlow® Print Server IPDS VPA calculations and can result in
data being shifted or rotated out of the printable area without
notifying the host.
•
Rotation
•
Image Shift
•
Alignment
KEY POINT:
Use the Stock Margins feature for shifting data and
having it used as part of the VPA calculations.
