Xerox 701P47301 User Manual

The IPDS information processed by the IPDS gateway is sent to 
the Output queue selected in the IPS Manager. Use the Queue 
Manager to view and manage the queue properties applied to 
jobs. Under the PDL Settings tab, the IPDS FAB on the Queue 
Manager dialog may be used to set the resolution of the print data 
supplied to the print engine. Values of 300 or 600 dpi may be 
selected.  

While you may want to dedicate a queue to IPDS, the queue may 
still be used for other PDLs, subject to the rules of the print server 
job and queue management.  The PDL Format must not be set to 
override for any PDL other than IPDS for a queue that is used to 
print IPDS jobs.  

NOTE: Setting the Override lock for IPDS will force all job data to 
be processed as IPDS, preventing the queue from processing 
non-IPDS jobs.

Note that a number of print server queue properties can affect the 
attributes of the printed job.  In an IPDS environment, the host is 
typically responsible for controlling the attributes of the printed 
data.  Changing the attributes of the job could cause Xerox 
FreeFlow® Print Server IPDS data to print incorrectly. Setting 
queue defaults for such properties does not interfere with the 
values selected by the IPS Manager. However, overrides for the 
following queue properties must be avoided:

•

Stock attributes (Name, Size, Color, Type, Weight)

•

Output Location

Ordinarily an IPDS printer is expected to report exceptions to the 
host when data on a page does not fit within the virtual printable 
area (VPA).  The following queue attributes are not used in Xerox 
FreeFlow® Print Server IPDS VPA calculations and can result in 
data being shifted or rotated out of the printable area without 
notifying the host.

•

Rotation

•

Image Shift

•

Alignment

KEY POINT: Use the Stock Margins feature for shifting data and 
having it used as part of the VPA calculations.
