Book Assembly

Workflow Summary

This guide describes how to integrate FreeFlow® Web Services with the Web Services Book Assembly option. Book Assembly allows Customers to take multiple files and file types, perform a soft-proof and dynamically create bound books or other finishing options from virtually any location.

•The actual routing of the job is normally assigned as part of the pricing setup of a template or job type. The JDF information is sent via JMF messages to the next module.

•A FreeFlow Web Services Output Device is created to route the Web Services jobs to the appropriate FreeFlow module.

For more information on all the Web Services Print Workflows and Web Services FreeFlow Integrations, refer to the FreeFlow Web Services 7.0 Integration Guide.

Book Assembly Printing Workflows & JDF

Job Tickets

FreeFlow Web Services achieves automation in production printing by implementing JDF/JMF Printing Workflows in combination with Xerox production printers. Customers can also acquire JMF Service software by contacting their Xerox Analyst or by downloading it from the Support and Drivers section on Xerox.com.

For more information on all the Web Services Print Workflows and Web Services FreeFlow Integrations, refer to the FreeFlow Web Services 7.0 Integration Guide.

Select a Print Workflow and follow the instructions to setup and configure each FreeFlow component for Book Assembly.

FreeFlow Web Services Book Assembly can only be used with the following JMF Printing Workflows:

1.FreeFlow JMF Service Print Workflow: Installed on the same server as FreeFlow Web Services (recommended). Also refer to the Legacy Configuration: installed on a standalone PC client.

–Section: Workflow 1: FreeFlow JMF Service Print Workflow

2.FreeFlow Output Manager Print Workflow: A specific queue would be selected on the FreeFlow Output Manager.

–Section: Workflow 2: Output Manager Print Workflow

Both workflows use the JDF digital printing process for Book Assembly jobs. The job ticket parameters supported in the JDF ticket are outlined in section: Supported JDF Job Ticket Parameters.

A FreeFlow Web Services Output Device is created to route the FreeFlow Web Services job to the appropriate FreeFlow component in the printing workflow.

Note

The FreeFlow Process Manager workflow cannot be used for the FreeFlow Web Services Book Assembly option.

Description: Complete install instructions for JMF Services and complete list of and syntax for CLI (Command Line Interface)

Install JMF Service: Same server as FreeFlow Web Service

FreeFlow JMF Service is intended to run on a single host and cannot reside on the same server with any other FreeFlow applications except Print Manager and Web Services.

The logged on user must have administrator rights to install programs on a Windows platform. The installation will ask for the following information:

• Installation root directory. The default is "C:\Program Files\Xerox\FreeFlow JMF Service".

Perform the following steps to install the product:

If the install program does not start automatically, double-click the install.exe file.

1.Select a language from the pull-down menu. Click OK.

2.Click Next in the Introduction screen.

3.In the Software License Agreement screen, select the “I accept...” option to accept the End User License Agreement terms. Click Next.

4.In the Choose Install Set screen, select both FreeFlow JMF Service and Printer Registration. Click Next.

5.In the Choose Install Folder screen, accept the default install directory or enter an alternate install location. Click Next.

6.In the Choose Shortcut Folder screen, select a Shortcut Folder option. Click Next.

7.Review the install options at the Pre-Installation Summary screen. Click Install.

8.Select Done to complete the software installation and reboot the system.

After you reboot the system, under the Start menu "Xerox FreeFlow Software- >FreeFlow JMF Service", the following shortcuts are available:

•Services: This shortcut is used when stopping and starting the FreeFlow JMF Service.

•Command Line: This shortcut is used to invoke the FreeFlow JMF Service CLI commands.

System Check: Same Computer as FreeFlow Web Service

At the Installed Products dialog, ensure that the Free Flow JMF Service check box is selected. Click OK.

1-2	Integration Guide – Book Assembly Supplement

FreeFlow Web Services

Workflow 1: JMF Service Print Workflow

Create Users & Groups: Same Computer as FreeFlow Web Service

FreeFlow JMF Service relies on the underlying operating system security mechanism for authentication.

All authenticated users must have an account on the host on which FreeFlow JMF Service is running. Authorization is enforced through the Command Line Interface (CLI) which must reside on the same host on which FreeFlow JMF Service is running.

The CLI uses the credentials associated with the logged in user for authorization purposes. Only a single access level is supported - "Xerox FreeFlow JMF Service Administrators".

Prior to executing any CLI commands, this group must be created and the user must be associated with it.

Perform the following to configure the user group:

1.Right-click My Computer and select Manage.

2.Open the Local Users and Groups folder and open the Groups folder.

3.Select the “Xerox FreeFlow JMF Service Administrators” Group.

4.Add users to the group. If necessary, first create any specific users whom you want to have access to the application.

Note

It is important to add the user who setup and administers the FreeFlow Web Server to this group.

5.Close the Computer Management window and login as one of the users added to the Xerox FreeFlow JMF Service Administrators group.

JMF Service Printer Registration: Same Server as FreeFlow Web

Service

Only those users that are members of the Xerox FreeFlow JMF Service Administrators group can add or edit a Xerox printer in the Printer Registration application.

Close the Computer Management window and login as one of the users added to the group.

1.Select ->Programs->Xerox Free Flow Software->Printer Registration.

2.Select Add to add the Xerox Printer.

6.Select Start->Programs->Xerox Free Flow Software->Xerox Free flow JMF Service 7.0-> Command line.

CLI Command Line Interface: Same Server as FreeFlow Web

Service

The JMF Service does not maintain its own list of configured production printers. You must use the FreeFlow Printer Registration application to add and configure printers.

Once you have added the necessary production printers, you will need to bring up a Command Prompt and use the following FreeFlow JMF Service CLI command to register the printers into the FreeFlow JMF Service:

•Invoke the xomupddev command to retrieve the list of updated printers from the Printer Registration application. For information on how to use the FreeFlow Printer Registration application, see the online help for that application.

•Invoke the xomlisdev command
