Restart IPS Gateway
Selecting the Restart IPS Gateway initiates a new communication session with the host without
restarting the print server. If selected while an IPDS job is active, the host will resend the job starting
with page 1 or from its last checkpoint.
Job Profile Editor
The IPS Manager screen is the main system screen for IPDS support. It is the entry point to all other
screens used in IPDS data stream management. The options in the IPS Manager "Manage Job Profiles"
dialog allow you to enter the IPDS specific settings used by Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server IPDS to
compose the pages specified by the IPDS data stream. The print server retains all parameter values on
the print server during shutdown and restores the settings the next time you start the IPDS system.
The values that you specify remain in effect until you change them. If you change these values to
process a specific IPDS data stream, make sure you restore the values to the original settings once your
job completes. Otherwise, all subsequent IPDS data streams may be processed incorrectly.
Note
After changing the settings on any tab in the Job Profile Editor, click [Save & Apply] to save
your settings and apply them immediately or click [Save] or [Save As] to store your changes in an
existing or new Job Profile for future use.
The values shown in the Job Settings, Tray Mappings, and Stacker Mappings tabs are read-only. To
change the values, select [Manage Job Profiles...] to open the Job Profile Editor.
Job Settings Functions
The Job Settings tab provides access to the following features:
•
Resource Resolution: Use the resolution to indicate the dots per inch (dpi) input resolution of the
data and resources sent by the host. Successful processing of the job data depends on the proper
identification of the input resolution. The system cannot determine this automatically. The value
is sent to the host, which uses the value to choose the resolution of raster fonts and certain
images.
Resource resolution is limited to: 240, 300, and 600 dpi.
•
GOCA Image Resolution: Use the GOCA Image Resolution IPS Manager feature to select the input
resolution for GOCA raster images within IPDS jobs. The selectable values are 240, 300, and 600
dpi
While GOCA data consists mostly of resolution-independent drawing orders, it can contain raster
images. GOCA raster images appear in some applications, because historically they have been
easier to color in a PSF environment.
Unfortunately, there is no definitive information in IPDS to let the print server know the resolution
used when these images are created so that it can do the proper scaling, as it does with IOCA
images. For this reason, Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server IPDS needs to be told what resolution to use
for GOCA raster images. Use the GOCA Image Resolution setting on the IPS Manager Job Settings
tab to specify the desired resolution (240, 300, 600) for GOCA images. This option only applies to
applications that use raster images within GOCA objects. For these applications, it is very
important that this option be set correctly. The images print in the wrong size if it is not.
