Introduction
1 Introduction
The Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server IBM® IPDS User Guide
describes the Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server Intelligent Printer
Data Stream support. IPDS is a print data stream defined by
IBM®.
This guide describes Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server support for
IBM’s IPDS including various system menus, setup routines,
operator commands for running print jobs, system supported
environments, font management, host connectivity, and diagnostic
trace capabilities.
NOTE: Xerox FreeFlow Print Server IPDS requires a software
license. If your system does not have the Xerox FreeFlow Print
Server IPDS license, you will not see any of the IPDS dialogs and
the IPS Manager menu will not appear in the system menu.
Contact your Customer Service Engineer (CSE) in order to obtain
an Xerox FreeFlow Print Server IPDS software license.
The primary audience for this document is the system
administrator or the individual(s) responsible for managing the
print production environment.
Overview
Intelligent Printer Data Stream (IPDS) is a bi-directional print data
stream defined by IBM®. IPDS is a sequence of information
transmittedbetween a host computer and IPDS printer as directed
by a print driver, such as IBM’s Print Service Facility (PSF). In
addition to delivering print description information, the IPDS data
stream performs printer control functions and shares job status
information.
The Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server IPDS software is configured by
means of a Graphical User Interface (GUI), featuring pull-down
menus, tabs, and icons from which to manage the Xerox FreeFlow
Print Server IPDS functions. Xerox FreeFlow Print Server IPDS
supports the TCP/IP and Online Channel interfaces.

1-2 IPDS User Guide
Introduction
Features
Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server Support for the IPDS Data Stream
Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server IPDS supports IPDS resulting from
processing of AFP (Advanced Function Presentation) resources
such as print data sets, page definitions, form definitions, page
segments, fonts, and overlays. There are several IBM® data
architectures within the AFP environment that are fully supported
by Xerox FreeFlow Print Server IPDS:
• MO: DCA-P: Mixed Object Document Content Architecture for
presentation
• PTOCA PT1, PT2, and PT3: Presentation Text Object Content
Architecture
• IOCA: Image Object Content Architecture
• GOCA: Graphics Object Content Architecture
• BCOCA: Bar Code Object Content Architecture
Each of the data objects follows the same object rule of containing
delimited fields within the structure fields describing each object.
IPDS commands within the data stream enable the system to
control the media-handling capabilities of the printer and other
operations dealing with paper. The commands also provide the
means for managing the downloading of fonts and stored objects,
such as overlays and page segments that are required to print an
application.
Xerox FreeFlow Print Server IPDS provides the ability to:
• Properly image all supported IPDS resources.
• Recognize and process all required IPDS commands
supported by the Xerox FreeFlow Print Server.
Printers
IPDS data stream printing is supported on a variety of Xerox
production devices with Xerox FreeFlow Print Server, including
light production, production monochrome, highlight color, and
color printers.
NOTE: Xerox FreeFlow Print Server IPDS currently does not
support continuous feed printing systems.

IPDS User Guide 1-3
Introduction
Printer Model Selection
The Xerox FreeFlow Print Server IPDS support allows the print
server to be defined to the host as one of the following IBM®
Advanced Function Printers: 3812, 3825, 3827, or 3935.
NOTE: In addition to the predefined values, the type-in field also
supports any user-defined four digit value.
Host Environments
Xerox FreeFlow Print Server IPDS supports the following
environments:
• InfoPrint® Manager with AIX 5L (TCP/IP connectivity only)
• InfoPrint® Manager for Windows®
• Print Services Facility for i5/OS® (OS/400®) (TCP/IP
connectivity only)
• Print Services Facility for z/OS® (MVS)
• Emtex VIP (NOTE: monochrome and highlight color printers
only)
• GMC PrintNet T (NOTE: monochrome printers only)
Host Connectivity Options
Xerox FreeFlow Print Server IPDS can receive data from a host in
one of two ways:
• Through a channel card with bus and tag connectivity
• Through a TCP/IP interface using Ethernet
Host Connectivity options depend on the print server and printer
configuration. If you require host connectivity using a channel
interface, contact your local Xerox representative to confirm that
this option is available for your device and to obtain the additional
hardware.
Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server IPS Manager
The IPS Manager is a feature of Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server
and is accessible through the main print server GUI System pull-
down menu.
The IPS Manager provides job setting, tray mappings, and stacker
mappings options. It also allows system configuration for TCP/IP
and channel connections. Additionally, it allows the user to

InstallationandSetup
2 Installation and Setup
The requirements and instructions for installing the Xerox
FreeFlow® Print Server IPDS software and setting up the printing
environment are described in this section. Review this entire
chapter before proceeding with the installation.
Some setup tasks are performed on the print server window and
some are performed on the print server IPS Manager. The main
installation and setup tasks are:
• Licensing and configuring the software and features
• Defining the print server IPDS queue
• Setting up media
• Loading IBM® AFP resident outline fonts (optional)
• Defining a logical printer
• Verifying the installation
Software Requirements
Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server, version 6.0 or higher.
If your Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server IPDS configuration requires
a channel connection, you will need an online channel board.
Contact your local Xerox representative for more information.
User Access Levels
Access to the IPS Manager is controlled by the print server logon
level. Three user levels are available to access Xerox FreeFlow®
Print Server IPS Manager, each with its own level of feature
access.
User/Operator: The User and the Operator have limited access
rights to the IPS Manager. This is the access level assigned when
IPS Manager is first started.
The User or the Operator can do the following:
• Modify and apply settings in the Job Settings, Tray Mappings
and Stacker Mappings tabs, and the System Configuration
window.
• Use the Manage Job Profiles button to invoke the Job Profile
Editor dialog.
• Load a Job Profile through the Job Profile Editor.

2-2 IPDS User Guide
Installation and Setup
• Select Go Online and Go Offline.
• Select Stop or Continue.
• Restart IPS Gateway
System Administrator: The system administrator requires a
password and can perform the same functions as the Operator.
Additionally, the system administrator can:
• Capture or replay a Trace file.
• Load, print, or delete resident fonts.
Licensing Requirements
The Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server IPDS feature must be licensed
in order for it to function.
Your local Xerox representative provides licenses prior to
installation. The Xerox service representative enters the license
string and expiration date for each license, immediately following
the software installation.
Defining the Target Queue in the Print Server
At least one queue must be created on the Xerox FreeFlow® Print
Server for processing the IPDS data. Queues used for IPDS must
be defined as streaming queues. Refer to the Xerox FreeFlow®
Print Server on-line help for details on creating a streaming queue.
Setting System Preferences
The system behavior for jobs or sets that exceed the capacity of a
finisher can be selected in the System Preferences dialog. To
reach this dialog, select [System Preferences] from the System
pull-down on the main GUI. Select the Job Policy tab. Under
Over Limit Finishing, check Print Job Unfinished. If the [Fault Job]
or [User Intervention] option in the Over Limit Finishing panel are
selected, when an over limit finishing situation is encountered, the
printer informs the host that a printer fault is raised and
intervention is required. This causes the host to stop sending data.
In these cases, it is typically necessary to terminate the job at the
print server. However, terminating the job at the print server does
not clear it from an IPDS host output queue, and the host will
retransmit the data unless the job is also terminated at the host.
NOTE: The Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server IPDS does not support
Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server Remote Workflow.

IPDS User Guide 2-3
InstallationandSetup
Creating an IPDS Target Queue
In the Queue Manager, select [New] from the Queue drop down
menu, or from the short cut icon. Refer to the following properties
to make selections for IPDS queue.
Settings
Although Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server supports spooling jobs,
as well as streaming for other Printer Description Languages
(PDLs), only streaming is supported for IPDS. This is because
IPDS job recovery is controlled by the host, and depends upon the
host receiving messages from the printer telling it when each page
has been printed. This level of host control cannot be achieved
when jobs are spooled.
You must select a streaming printer queue in the IPS Manager to
be used for IPDS printing. A streaming queue processes and
prints pages as they are received, which results in minimal delay
between the time the job is submitted and when printing begins.
• Select the Input / Format FAB. Under Input, select
[Streaming].
The Limit Ripped Data checkbox in the Input / Format FAB should
always be left unchecked for queues used for IPDS.
Setting External Finishers in the Printer Manager
Determine if the system contains an external finisher. If the
system contains an external finisher, open the Printer Manager
and select the Finisher tab. Right-click on the external finisher
and select [Properties]. Under Maximum Set Size, the default
setting is 65000. Set the value to the actual maximum set size of
the external finisher, otherwise performance issues may be
encountered.

2-4 IPDS User Guide
Installation and Setup
Managing the Print Queue
Using Queue Overrides
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
Virtual Printable Area Considerations
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.

IPDS User Guide 2-5
InstallationandSetup
NOTE: If an image shift is done at the IPDS queue level, then the
banner page of the IPDS job will contain the image shift as well.
Therefore, the data on the banner page may be shifted off the
page.
Queue Properties
Following are selections relating to IPDS queues:
Settings
Select the Input / Format Feature Access Button (FAB). Under
Input, select [Streaming].
Output
The default setting for the Output Order is System Specified. For
most products, this is N-1 (Descending) output order.
NOTE: This setting can cause a problem if set processing (staple
or some other finishing operation) is not being performed. The
problem occurs because the streaming IPDS job may be too large
to receive and re-order. The result of this situation is that, because
there is no logical end to trigger the re-order, a portion of the IPDS
job would be received but not print. Unless N-1 is required to
perform set processing, the Output Order should be changed to 1-
N (Ascending) output order.
PDL Settings
Select the IPDS FAB. Use Resolution to determine the resolution
of the output data sent to the print engine. Only values of 300 and
600 dpi are supported. For print engines that do not have native
support for 300 dpi, the output will be simulated.
Halftone Resolution
NOTE: The IPDS Halftone Resolution feature is available only for
all supported monochrome, and highlight color products.
In Advanced Settings window, the resolution and the associated
Halftone are displayed. Select [Setup...] to choose the halftone,
for instance, choose: 53, 85, or 106 line per inch screens. The
actual selection of halftones offered depends on the particular
product and resolution. For each resolution setting, select the
halftone to associate from the pull-down menu. When the
Resolution (dpi) is selected, the associated halftone screen will
automatically be used for all jobs until it is changed.
For print resolution values that are also supported by PostScript,
IPDS uses the same default Halftone selection used by

2-6 IPDS User Guide
Installation and Setup
PostScript. For instance, if PostScript uses a default halftone of
106 lpi for 600 dpi, the IPDS tool will use the same halftone value
for Resolution of 600.

IPDS User Guide 2-7
InstallationandSetup
Setting Up Media
If tray mapping is used on the IPS Manager to provide for stock
switching on a per sheet basis, ensure that the override locks for
the stock attributes are NOT set for the queue
Programming Stock Margins
Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server supports Stock Margin adjustments
that are recognized by IPDS interpreter software. Stock Margins
are specified in relation to the print engine process direction. This
is the direction a sheet of paper moves through the print engine.
Stock Margins are programmed via the Stock Library using the
Stock Comments field. Stock Margins settings are retained in the
system as long as the stock remains defined in the Stock Library.
In cases where Stock Margins are not required for a given stock,
text may be used in the Stock Comments field, but comments
must not consist solely of numerical values.
NOTE: Stock Margins settings take affect only after selecting
[Refresh] of the current Job Profile in IPS Manager.
When creating a new stock (or modifying an existing stock), enter
the Stock Margins values in the Stock Comments field using the
following rules:
1. In the Stock Library, open the Properties of the stock to be
modified or select [New Stock] to create a new stock.
2. Select the Options FAB.
3. Enter four integer values into the Stock Comments field.
These integer values must be whole numbers - no decimal
points are allowed.
• The Stock Margin integer values must be separated by a

For example, if the values: 100 0 0 600 are typed in the Stock
Comments field, they represent:
• front side process direction = 100 (1/6 inch or 4.23 mm)
• front side cross-process direction = 0
• back side process direction = 0
• back side cross-process direction = 600 (1 inch or 25.4 mm)
The Stock Library window indicates the presence of Stock
Margins by placing a Stock Comment icon in the Stock Comment
column. If you hover the pointer over the icon, the system will
display the Stock Margins programmed for that stock.
Loading IBM®AFP Resident Outline Fonts
NOTE: Loading IBM®AFP fonts is optional.
Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server IPDS provides the ability to load
and use printer-resident AFP scalable outline fonts. These fonts
are loaded from the IBM® AFP Font Collection CD, which is
purchased separately. The AFP Font Collection CD label is further
described as Fonts for AIX®, OS/2®, Windows® NT and
Window® 2000, with a part number of LK2T-9269-01.

NOTE: The AFP font collection product number has changed from
5648-113 to 5648-B45. Although Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server
IPDS can still use the original CD supplied under 5648-113, IBM
now ships two separate CDs under the 5648-B45 productnumber.
The two CDs are Fonts for OS/400® (part number LK2T-9270-01)
and Fonts for AIX®, OS/2®, Windows® NT, and Windows® 2000
(part number LK2T9269-01). Only the LK2T-9269-01 part number
is supported by Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server IPDS. Ensure to
specify the correct part number when ordering the font collection.
Fonts are converted for use with IPDS jobs and stored on the
printer when the fonts are loaded. Although the fonts reside on the
printer, they cannot be viewed using the Xerox FreeFlow® Print
Server Font Manager. They can be viewed using the Manage
Fonts capability on the IPS Manager. A sample job is provided to
verify that the resident outline font support is properly installed on
the print server. To add or remove the fonts, refer to the IPS
Manager on-line help.
A default resident outline font is provided for instances where the
requested AFP font is not resident or the default is specifically
requested. This default font cannot be changed. Enhanced font
support can be enabled for host environments that expect resident
outline font substitution for raster fonts.
Enhanced Font Support
The Enhanced Font Support feature is an extension of the printer-
resident outline font support in Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server
IPDS. Most hosts download required raster fonts. This feature is
most beneficial when using the i5/OS® (System i) host
environment with resident outline fonts. The i5/OS® (OS/400®)
host expects resident outline font support to include all font types
and expects the printer to resolve font substitution requirements.
No distinction is made between raster font and outline font
requests. This feature may also be beneficial to other host
environments for solving font errors.
Use the following information to decide whether or not to disable
the Enhanced Font Support feature:
• Enabled — When Enhanced Font Support is enabled, if the
host requests a raster font, Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server
IPDS substitutes an equivalent resident outline font if one is
available. If the host requests a font for which there is no
resident outline font match or equivalent, the default resident
outline font is used.
• Disabled — When Enhanced Font Support is disabled, no font
substitution occurs. Requests for fonts that are resident are
honored. The host downloads all other fonts. The default
resident outline font is used only when explicitly requested by
the host.

Installation and Setup
i5/OS® (System i) Setup
You must set several parameters for resident outline font support.
If you do not set these parameters properly, jobs submitted from
i5/OS® (System i) expecting resident outline fonts may fail or print
blank pages. If your host is a System i running i5/OS® and you
require resident outline font support, the recommended setup is:
• On the i5/OS® host, set the Resident Font parameter in the
PSF Configuration object to *YES.
• In the IPS Manager, ensure Enhanced Font Support is set to
Enabled.
• In the IPS Manager, load the AFP fonts using the Manage
Fonts Dialog.
Defining a Logical Printer
Before using Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server IPDS to process IPDS
data streams, the host must have a printer defined for Xerox
FreeFlow® Print Server IPDS with the following requirements:
• For TCP/IP connectivity, the Internet Protocol (IP) address and
port number of the printer must match the IP address and port
number of the printer. Valid values are 5001 through 65535.
• For channel connectivity, the unit address specified for the
host printer definition must be a unique value and must match
the unit address specified on the IPS Manager.
• For z/OS® (MVS), the printer must be defined as an AFP-type
device.
TCP/IP and channel connectivity can be established in the IPS
Manager System pull-down menu, System Configuration dialog
box.
Verifying the Installation
The following steps should be completed for a successful
installation of the Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server IPDS software,
and proper queue and printer setup:
• Install the IPS Manager software. The Xerox Service
Representative performs this task.
• Ensure that the IPDS Interpreter license file has been loaded,
and that IPDS is active and enabled in the print server Feature
Manager.
• Ensure a streaming print queue is defined on the print server
for your system. You can view this queue by using the print
