EX Print Server
Overview

The iGen4

®

90/110 Digital Color Press with Xerox EX Print Server is a Paper Catalog driven

product. It does not support the selection of stocks by attributes. Only stocks already defined
on the PSIP and in the EX Print Server’s Paper Catalog can be used, and must be specified by
identifier/name in all FreeFlow applications, not by attributes. You are expected to select
specific Paper Catalog stocks in this production environment. When a job is sent without a
Paper Catalog stock selection, the job is marked pink in Command WorkStation and tagged
with the error message “Stock not selected.”

Jobs production printed from Makeready will require you to change the stocks defined in the
job to Paper Catalog defined stocks. This is done from the Job Setup dialog box after you
select Production Print from Makeready, and then open the Stock library to select a Paper
Catalog stock. Paper Catalog stocks display with “(Printer)” appended to the stock name, for
example “Letter (LEF) (Printer).” Stocks that have “(User)” appended to the name are not
Paper Catalog stocks and should not be used.

Saved job tickets will not be usable as is. When loading a job with a saved job ticket that
specifies stocks by attributes, you must change the stocks to Paper Catalog defined stocks
before you submit the job from FreeFlow.

Jobs printed from Scan and Print will require you to select the [More Options] screen to select
a Paper Catalog defined stock from the Scan and Print Stock Library. Paper Catalog stocks
will display with “(Printer)” appended to the stock name, for example “Letter (LEF)
(Printer).”

From FreeFlow Output Manager, jobs destined for this printer must use media by name. If a
job specifies media by attributes, the operator must edit the job at the FreeFlow Output
Manager server. The capability scheduler must be enabled to ensure that a job specifying
media by attributes is not scheduled to the EX Print Server, if the printer is associated with
other printers that accept media by attributes in the FreeFlow Output Manager queue.

JDF jobs processed by FreeFlow Process Manager, Output Manager, and JMF Service are
affected by this limitation of the EX Print Server. JDF jobs that specify stock by attributes
cannot be processed by the EX Print Server. For Process Manager and Output Manager, the
operator can edit the job so that it can be processed by the EX Print Server, but not JMF
Service.
