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
online help for details on creating a streaming queue.
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 Feature Access Button (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.
