About FreeFlow Process Manager
Manage production
printers for workflows Production printers must be added to FreeFlow Process Manager before you
attempt to drag a Print process into a workflow during the workflow building
process.
In FreeFlow 6.0, a new common printer interface enables all FreeFlow
applications to maintain a single database of configured printers and to have a
common job setup GUI interface across FreeFlow applications. The common
printer interface includes the following utilities:
Registered Printer List Locator : Allows you to set whether the registered
printer list in use by a FreeFlow applicaton is located on a local computer or on a
remote computer.
Printer Registration : Allows you to register and manage supported
production printers and queues for use by FreeFlow software applications. To
configure the Print process step in a workflow, production printers must first be
added via the FreeFlow Printer Registration application.
Printer Status/Job Status Tool : Allows you to status jobs, queues, and
printers.
For additional information about Production Printing, refer to the
Xerox
Customer Software Release Document for FreeFlow Process Manager ,
or the Xerox Production Printing Guide for FreeFlow Applications .
You can also access the online Help for the Registered Printer List Locator,
Printer Registration, or the Printer Status/Job Status Tool.
Configure the SMTP
server The Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP) Server is used for e-mail
notification. The SMTP Setup dialog, accessed via the Workflow Builder
application, allows you to identify the mail server for outgoing mail or
notifications and to establish the maximum size for e-mail attachments.
For details, refer to the following procedure in the Freeflow Process Manager
Operator and Administrator Guide or the online help: “Setting up the SMTP
Server.”
Set up workflows Three default workflows are provided with the software: Simple, Main, and
Reprint. Modify these workflows or create your own, based on the needs of your
organization. You may want to name workflows based on clients (XYZ Co.) or
types of jobs (brochure, newsletter, flyer).
For details, refer to the following procedure in the Freeflow Process Manager
Operator and Administrator Guide or the online help: “Configuring process
settings;” “Building a new workflow.”
Generate the preflight
profile repository on a
clean install. Preflight profiles do not exist on a clean install. You will need to generate the
profile repository.
For details, refer to the following procedure in the Freeflow Process Manager
Operator and Administrator Guide or the online help: “Configuring preflight
