Working in IPDS mode
IPDS overview
Note:
The IPDS workflow is available only with the Trans Pack.
The Intelligent Printer Data Stream (IPDS and the advanced
function printing (AFP format were developed to support the
printing of transactional jobs with a high level of security.
In the IPDS workflow, two-way communication enables the IPDS
host to send data chunks to the printer and receive information
back from the printer. To maintain data security, data sent by the
host is deleted immediately after being printed.
IPDS printing requires jobs in the AFP file format. AFP is a VDP
format that enables databases, text, and graphic elements to be
merged and displayed on the printed sheet.
There are specific IPDS printers installed to support this workflow.
These IPDS printers can also be customized according to your
needs.
In IPDS printing the
IC-309m2
print controller emulates an IPDS
printer with additional
IC-309m2
print controller capabilities, such
as
advanced color and quality features. The IPDS printing is
controlled by the IPDS host and some features on the workspace
and job parameters are changed or unavailable.
Some of those features are:
●
The
Storage
area is unavailable. Only the queues are visible
while in IPDS mode.
●
All right-click menu options in the workspace are unavailable,
except for
Job Info
.
●
There is no queue control because there are no pause or
resume buttons.
●
The queues are for display only. Management actions, such as
promote jobs, demote jobs, dragging files across queues and
holding/resuming the queues, are unavailable.
●
Commercial jobs cannot be processed. Jobs that are sent to
the
IC-309m2
print controller, while in IPDS mode, will be held
