Using the Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server IPS Manager
If any changes are made to IPS Manager while an IPDS job is active, the changes may result in an
interruption and continuation of the job, based on the last page checkpoint sent to the host. To ensure
changes are applied to the intended job, changes should only be done while the printer is idle or while
not printing any IPDS jobs. Cancelling and resubmitting a job may be required to apply changes to an
already active job.
Define the Physical Tray Stock Setup
1.
Set the stock definitions for each physical tray in the Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server Printer dialog.
2.
Stock mappings can be stored and retrieved as needed as part of job setup files.
3.
Set the stocks in the Select Stocks for Printer Trays in the Tray Mappings tab in the IPS Manager to
correspond to the stocks required for the job. The Stock Loaded column indicates whether the
stock is loaded or not. If the stock is not loaded, load it in the paper tray, or examine the Paper
Trays stock settings in the Printer drop down menu.
Note
Due to the presence of the press interface, physical tray numbers do not correspond to
numbered feeders on the iGen3 itself.
Map Virtual Trays for Loaded Stock
1.
Set the stock name for each required Virtual Tray in the Map IPDS Trays to Stock dialog to the
stock required for the job. Note that many jobs may not use all of the available virtual trays.
2.
Ensure that one or more physical trays are mapped to the virtual tray(s) required for the job.
3.
When the Map IPDS Trays to Stock and the Select Stock for Printer Trays dialogs show all required
mappings and loaded stocks, the mapping is complete.
Map Virtual Trays for Non-Fusing Stock
Non-fusing paper trays are input devices that feed paper without allowing it to print. Xerox FreeFlow®
Print Server IPDS is fully compliant with the standard IPDS model for support of non-fusing paper trays.
When virtual trays are mapped to non-fusing physical trays, Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server IPDS reports
them to the host as inserter bins, which ensures that the host will not send print data to non-printing
trays. Mapping to a non-fusing paper tray is the same as for other paper trays.
Note
The mapping to non-fusing paper tray feature is available only for systems that possess
non-fusing trays, such as some configurations of the DocuTech 61xx and DocuTech 128/155/180
HighLight Color.
When non-fusing physical trays are present on the system, the IPS Manager provides Tray Type
columns in the Map IPDS Trays to Stock and Select Stock for Printer Trays panels in the Tray Mappings
tab. The Tray Type column in the Map IPDS Trays to Stock panel informs the user which virtual trays are
reported to the host as printable trays and which are reported as non-fusing trays. For both virtual and
physical tray displays, the entries in the Tray Type columns are labeled either Fuser (printable) or
Inserter (non-fusing).
Note
The Tray Type columns only appear if at least one non-fusing tray is available (installed and
enabled in the printer).
