160 Chapter 8-Production workflows Working in IPDS mode IPDS overview Note: The IPDS and AFP workflows are 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 on the IC‑314 print controller version 1.0 to support this workflow. These IPDS printers can also be customized according to your needs. In IPDS printing the IC‑314 print controller version 1.0 emulates an IPDS printer with additional IC‑314 print controller version 1.0 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. ● Clicking Abort Job aborts all the IPDS jobs in the queues. The jobs and RTP files are deleted. If you need to disconnect from the IPDS host, click Disconnect. ● Commercial jobs cannot be processed. Jobs that are sent to the IC‑314 print controller version 1.0, while in IPDS mode, will be held in freeze status in the Incoming queue, until switching back to File Submission mode. ● The Import button and also most of the IC‑314 print controller version 1.0's tools such as calibration, job preview, gradation
