Common Features

XCPT Support for Interoperability with

Enterprise Printers

This feature provides the support for Xerox Common Print Ticket (XCPT) job ticket format.

XCPT is a job ticket format supported by Xerox Enterprise and Office Products. XCPT tickets are

semantically similar to Xerox Printing Instruction Format (XPIF) tickets, as they use the same attributes

and values, but they have a different encoding. The string @PJL XCPT is included at the beginning of

every line. This encoding allows XCPT tickets to be treated as Printer Job Language (PJL) comments if

sent to a non-Xerox printer, which is a requirement for Xerox Enterprise and Office printer products.

Supporting XCPT format tickets allows FreeFlow Print Server to accept jobs that were generated for

Xerox Enterprise or Office printer products.

Support for XCPT format tickets is a necessary, but not sufficient, requirement for supporting Xerox

Cloud and Mobile Print Solutions. Additional functionality, such as supporting Extensible Interface

Platform (EIP) on the FreeFlow Print Server platform, is also required to fully support Cloud and Mobile

Print integration.

PDF/VT Support with APPE

The main intent of the Portable Document Format/Variable Transactional (PDF/VT) feature is for

Variable and Transactional printing. An example of PDF/VT is printing of a color graphics page that has

transparencies along with monochrome billing statement page. This document describes the FreeFlow

Print Server processing of PDF/VT. PDF/VT supports specifying the finishing options such as media

color and stapling within the document.

The following are prerequisites for performing PDF/VT:

• Adobe PDF Print Engine (APPE) 2.6

• JDF 1.4 or higher

• PDF version 1.5 or higher

Common Features

Xerox®FreeFlow® Print Server

VIPP Normalizer APPE Path

The Variable Data Intelligent PostScript Printware (VIPP) client sends VIPP job (jobs with extension as

.nm, .sub, .vp) to a queue that has APPE enabled and no other queue setup is required. The VIPP

Normalizer converts the VIPP job into a PDF/VT file. FreeFlow Print Server then processes the PDF/VT

with APPE. During this process, the setpagedevice commands are converted to equivalent PDF/VT

metadata, enabling FreeFlow Print Server to process the job according to the instructions (such as

finishing) with the job.

Client Path

XMPie and other clients that produce native PDF/VT files send jobs to a queue that has APPE enabled

and the job is processed accordingly.

The user has to set the PDF/X button on the Color Management GUI to On to properly process the

PDF/X4 content within the PDF/VT.

Description

PDF/VT is designed to make Variable Data Print (VDP) more efficient. PDF/VT uses Job Definition

Format (JDF) to control the printing workflow. The available type of PDF/VT is PDF/VT-1. All resources

(contents) are embedded in a single PDF file. FreeFlow Print Server currently supports this version.

FreeFlow Print Server support is dependent on the usage on FreeFlow Print Server defined PDF

Document Part (DPart) metadata semantics and structure. FreeFlow Print Server does not support JDF

tickets, designating the PDF DPart metadata semantics and structure, generated by a client.

PDF/VT has hierarchy (DPart) that describes the structure of the document. Within these DParts the

Document Part Metadata (DPM) exists and contains information about the DPart. FreeFlow Print

Server uses metadata to describe finishing and media attributes for the logical document (or set of

pages) for a PDF/VT file.

FreeFlow Print Server also uses JDF in conjunction with the PDF/VT file to describe finishing and media

attributes for the document. The FreeFlow Print Server prints the job as instructed by the DPart

available inside the job; there is no need to modify the GUI. For example, the PDF/VT file can instruct

FreeFlow Print Server to use dynamic duplexing or use the interposer. If GUI overrides are selected,

then the GUI selections take precedence over the DPart commands.

Considerations

• PPR only supports up to PDF version 1.5. Currently APPE 2.6 will process PDF version 1.7. There

may be a need to change PPR to support version 1.7.

• User PPR for optimal performance.

• Depending on the complexity of the PDF/VT file:

• RIP performance could be below the rated speed of the print engine.

• An ill-formed DPart catalog within a PDF/VT job may cause the system to hang. No message

describing the situation is presented on the GUI. The job may process correctly in serial

mode.

• A system restart while a PDF/VT job is processing may cause incorrect rendering of

embedded metadata.

Hot Folder Support

The Hot Folder feature enables customers to drop files ready to print into network folders. Hot Folder

Observer periodically checks for files, and if they are present submits them to FreeFlow Print Server

through Common Gateway Application Programming Interface (CGAPI) to print. The user has the

ability to enable or disable the Hot Folder based on the requirement.

Hot Folder Observer periodically (every 5 seconds, by default) observes new jobs (PDL files or XPIF /JDF

tickets submitted into Hot Folders. If there is a new PDL job, then it submits the job to FreeFlow Print

Server. If the job is a XPIF /JDF ticket, then FreeFlow Print Server pre-processor processes the XPIF /JDF

ticket to obtain PDL files specified in Universal Resource Locator (URL) attribute in the XPIF /JDF ticket.

After a successful job submission to FreeFlow Print Server, Hot Folder Observer deletes the job in the

Hot Folder.

If Hot Folder Observer fails to submit the job to FreeFlow Print Server, then it copies the job into the

Error folder, which is a sub folder in Hot Folder.

As a print job submitter using an FreeFlow Print Server Hot Folder, the user can get jobs printed in the

First In First Out (FIFO) order in which it was submitted to the Hot Folder. Prior to this change, jobs were

not guaranteed to be processed in the order they were received. This change makes the new default

behavior to process the Hot Folder jobs in order based on the time stamp of the job files.

It is possible to modify the behavior of the Hot Folder job processing order using a script. The default

behavior is FIFO based on timestamp. By using the script, the behavior can be reset to the standard

behavior of the Operating System (OS) if legacy compatibility is needed.

Hot Folders Directory

All the Hot Folders created by FreeFlow Print Server UI are stored in the

/var/spool/XRXnps/hotfoldersdirectory.

Considerations

• This feature does not affect normal job submission / processing / printing.

• Hot Folder feature might not be available on Mac OS 9 since Mac OS 9 does not support SAMBA.

• All Hot Folders are publicly visible.

Common Features

Xerox®FreeFlow® Print Server

• FreeFlow Print Server does not know the actual job submitter. The sender name specified in

FreeFlow Print Server GUI is the generic name HotFolderClient.

• XPIF tickets do not support relative path in URL. The customer must specify the fully qualified

path to data files in URL.

• JDF tickets support absolute paths, relative paths, and remote Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)

locations for referencing the PDL file.

Native JDF/JMF Gateway

JDF 1.4 Pass Through

Job Definition Format (JDF) Gateway processes JDF job tickets and uses the set of job attributes

accordingly for files to be printed. The user submits a job with a JDF 1.4 ticket and it is processed by

FreeFlow Print Server. Earlier the JDF gateway rejected the JDF 1.4 job tickets and did not process

them. FreeFlow Print Server retains a copy of the original job ticket and associates it with the job ID.

Considerations

Although FreeFlow Print Server accepts and processes JDF 1.4 job tickets; it does not support new JDF

1.4 features. The intent of this feature is to allow processing of tickets that have version 1.4, but the

ticket attributes that will be processed are equivalent to JDF 1.3 ticket support.

Solaris 10 Update 10

With this release of FreeFlow Print Server, all servers have the Solaris 10 update 10 installed.

Validate FreeFlow Print Server Connectivity

This feature allows the Xerox analyst or customer support representative to analyze connectivity

problems with the Xerox support server from the customer site. This can be executed from the

command line.

BandR Tool for System Backup and Restore

The BandR tool for FreeFlow Printer Server provides support for the Z pool File System (ZFS) version 29.

The standalone tool backs up and restores the system image using NFS share.

The procedure to perform Backup & restore using BandR tool is as follows:

Backup

• Write BandR.iso image to a DVD.

Note To create a“BandR.iso” image, the user must run the BandR.sh script.

• Boot the system with the BandR.iso image DVD.

• Select the ZFS 29 backup version and initiate backup.

• Store the backup in the Network File System (NFS) shared location.

Restore

• Boot the system with the BandR DVD.

• Select the ZFS 29 version.

• Enter the NFS shared location.

• The system is restored from the backup.
