Printing
that tracks the progress and completion of each job submitted. 
The [OK] button becomes enabled when the job is complete.
Jobs may be submitted simultaneously based on job size. There is 
no hard limit to job submission. However, when submitting 
hundreds of jobs, performance needs to be considered since it 
may degrade.
The user always has the option of canceling the operation once in 
progress. This does not disrupt any job currently being run but 
prevents any further jobs from being submitted.
Parallel RIP processing
The operator can choose to enable or disable parallel RIP. If VI 
Object Cache is enabled then Parallel RIP is automatically 
disabled. Likewise if Parallel RIP is enabled then VI Object Cache 
is disabled.
The Xerox Freeflow Print Server processes the workflow in the 
following way:
1. Is the first job eligible for Parallel RIPing? If yes, the Xerox 
Freeflow Print Server processes the job using all the available 
Parallel RIPs and no additional jobs can be processed.
2. If no, the Xerox Freeflow Print Server routes the first job 
through a single RIP.
3. The Xerox Freeflow Print Server determines whether the next 
job is eligible for parallel RIPing.
4. If yes, the Xerox Freeflow Print Server processes the job using 
all the remaining RIPs. No other job can be RIPed until one of 
the jobs is completed.
5. If no, the Xerox Freeflow Print Server routes the job through 
the next single RIP path. The Print Server continues through 
the cycle.
ASCII and PCL printing utilities
ASCII printing within various environments results in output that is 
not always formatted as desired. Unfortunately, there is no 
“standard” method for printing ASCII files. ASCII is a character set 
and not a Page Description Language. Therefore, ASCII files do 
not contain format commands. Furthermore, there is no de facto 
standard for ASCII formatting. 
Nonetheless, users often have the requirement to match a specific 
format. The utility below enables this formatting flexibility along 
with a feature in Queue Manager that allows the administrator to 
select the default document format.
