the origin of a JDF job and resultant ticket. JMF communication can be used to send that ticket information to production milestones. What printer information can be communicated to an MIS? The printer implements a subset of the JDF 1.5 specification, using JMF. This allows it to communicate printer status and notifications together with job status, job ink, and substrate consumption to external applications. NOTE: It is important to consider the fact that the RIP is capable of combining several jobs into one for the purpose of substrate optimization and finishing. In this case, the printer sees the print as one job, and the MIS should query the RIP for the status of each individual job in the nest. The RIP application can retrieve substrate and consumable tracking to report back to the MIS. How to integrate the printer into the Caldera RIP The Caldera RIP can take advantage of the JDF interface in the printer by selecting the option in the printer driver setup. Once the JDF interface is enabled, the RIP will display printer status and notifications together with job status, and job ink and substrate consumption. 1. Make sure you have the latest driver available from the Caldera website. 2. Obtain the printer's JMF URL from the Internal Print Server, by tapping Tools > Preferences > General. 3. Enter the printer's JMF URL into the IPS URL field of the Caldera printer configuration dialog. If there are problems using the printer's hostname, switch to the printer's IP using the printer's system configuration tool. For more details, see the service manual or talk to your network administrator to solve hostname resolution. 4. Once configured, you can display the printer status by opening the info window in the print client, and opening the spooler for the job status. How to integrate the printer into the Onyx RIP The Onyx RIP can take advantage of the JDF interface in the printer by selecting the option in the printer driver setup. Once the JDF interface is enabled, the RIP will display printer status and notifications together with job status, and job ink and substrate consumption. 1. Make sure you have the latest driver available from the Onyx download manager. 2. Obtain the printer's JMF URL from the Internal Print Server, by tapping Tools > Preferences > General. 3. Enter the printer's JMF URL into the JMF connection URL field of the Onyx Configure Port dialog. If there are problems using the printer's hostname, switch to the printer's IP using the printer's system configuration tool. For more details, see the service manual or talk to your network administrator to solve hostname resolution. 4. Once configured, you can display the printer and job status by opening the info window in the RIP queue. Job submission methods The printer supports two file submission methods, in addition to opening a file directly in the Internal Print Server.
