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.
