Common Features

GMC Inspire Designer

All printers that support FreeFlow

Print Server Intelligent Printer Data Stream

(IPDS) can receive

jobs from GMC Inspire Designer.

Connectivity updates

Novell licenses are no longer available for FreeFlow Print Server software 9.0 and higher. AppleTalk now

supports FX Font Downloading.

Embedded Banner Pages (all printers except the

Xerox

CiPress™ 500 Production Inkjet System)

The Embedded Banner Pages feature enables the user to use the leading pages of the PDL data as the

banner page(s) for the job. The following areas support Embedded Banner Pages:

•XPIF

•IPP

• Job Forwarding

•Save

A new collection attribute, job-sheets-col, has been introduced for this feature. The collection contains

two members, job-sheets and job-sheet-count. Currently job-sheets supports 3 values, none, standard,

and first-print-stream-page. If the job-sheets is set to first-print-stream-page, then the job-sheet-count

value is the number of the pages of the data stream that are used as the banner page(s). If the job-

sheets is set to first-print-stream-page, but the job-sheet-count is missing in the collection, the job-

sheet-count is set to one as the default.

NOTE If a user forwards a job from a system that supports embedded banner pages to a system

that does not support them, the job-sheets-col is ignored. For jobs containing embedded banner

pages, the banner pages are printed as part of the job.

Alternative Licensing Method (all printers except

the Xerox CiPress 500 Production Inkjet System)

In order for the FreeFlow Print Server to be properly configured and tested, the system and a basic set

of features must be activated. The purpose of this alternative licensing feature is to enable FreeFlow

Print Server features to work for a grace period prior to requiring the installation of normal system and

feature licenses. This ensures sufficient time for users to obtain long-term licenses once a system

reaches their site.

During the grace period, all of the selected features are enabled for full use. Features that are not

selected for activation under the grace period are not active.

While operating a system under a grace period the user is informed by a warning message about how

many days are left in the period, and can go to Setup > License Manager to see which features are

activated.

NOTE Days when the system is inactive do not count against the grace period time limit.

If any form of Normal License is properly loaded on the system, or the grace period expires, the grace

period will no longer activate the system, and all features that require a license require a valid feature

license to be loaded.

Updates for Native JDF/JMF

Native JDF/JMF

A new native FFPS gateway is introduced to support the Job Message Format (JMF) network protocol.

JMF is the bi-directional messaging feature of JDF. With this gateway, FreeFlow Print Server will be able

to receive, process, and respond to JMF messages from JMF-capable clients.

JDF Media Query Support

A JDF client user may now query FreeFlow Print Server for media resource status using JMF (Resource

Query).

JDF DFA Support - Job Submission

A JDF client user may now submit a job and specify the named DFA finishing profile to apply to the job.

JDF DFA Support - Acquire List of DFA Profiles

A JDF client user may now acquire the list of supported DFA finishing profiles from the printer. This is

done as part of the Device Capabilities in the known devices query response.

Xerox Developer Program

For more information about using JDF, including these new capabilities, please contact the SDK

Developer Program. This program provides documentation, examples and support. The Xerox

Developer program is a simple means of leveraging Xerox-designed, Xerox-supplied open standards

interfaces to streamline development efforts. It is applicable to all qualified integrated software

vendors, system integrators, hardware vendors, and Xerox customers.
