Using Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server IPS Manager Job Profile Editor The IPS Manager screen is the main system screen for IPDS support. It is the entry point to all other screens used in IPDS data stream management. The options in the IPS Manager "Manage Job Profiles" dialog allow you to enter the IPDS specific settings used by Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server IPDS to compose the pages specified by the IPDS data stream. The print server retains all parameter values on the print server during shutdown and restores the settings the next time you start the IPDS system. The values that you specify remain in effect until you change them. If you change these values to process a specific IPDS data stream, make sure you restore the values to the original settings once your job completes. Otherwise, all subsequent IPDS data streams may be processed incorrectly. KEY POINT: After changing the settings on any tab in the Job Profile Editor, click [Save & Apply] to save your settings and apply them immediately or click [Save] or [Save As] to store your changes in an existing or new Job Profile for future use. The values shown in the Job Settings, Tray Mappings, and Stacker Mappings tabs are read-only. To change the values, select [Manage Job Profiles...] to open the Job Profile Editor. Job Settings Functions The Job Settings tab provides access to the following features: • Resource Resolution: Use the resolution to indicate the dots per inch (dpi) input resolution of the data and resources sent by the host. Successful processing of the job data depends on the proper identification of the input resolution. The system cannot determine this automatically. The value is sent to the host, which uses the value to choose the resolution of raster fonts and certain images. Resource resolution is limited to: 240, 300, and 600 dpi. • GOCA Image Resolution: Use the GOCA Image Resolution IPS Manager feature to select the input resolution for GOCA raster images within IPDS jobs. The selectable values are 240, 300, and 600 dpi While GOCA data consists mostly of resolution-independent drawing orders, it can contain raster images. GOCA raster images appear in some applications, because historically they have been easier to color in a PSF environment. Unfortunately, there is no definitive information in IPDS to let the print server know the resolution used when these images are created so that it can do the proper scaling, as it does with IOCA images.
