Xerox VIPP User Guide

Overview VIPPEmitter is a module designed specifically for Xerox digital front ends that have VIPP (VariableData  Intelligent PostScript Printware) already installed and licensed.  The purpose of the VIPP Emitter module is to  significantly decrease the amount of RIP and server time. 

The VIPPEmitter must be activated through a dedicated FlexLM License option.

2 Xerox VIPP User Guide

Defining a VIPP-enabled Device

To define a VIPPenabled device, carry out the following steps: 

1 In the Settings/Output Devices/Output Channels, click on the VIPP Emitter radio button; the Folder Type  (Local, FTP, Network) and the Folder Path are at the discretion of the Print Provider. 

2 The Print Provider selects one of the following preferred imposition options for the specific workflow: 

Impose all files  Use the EasyVI imposition mechanism for imposing Jobs and send the imposed  printing sheets to the DFE 

Never Impose  Do not use the EasyVI imposition mechanism to impose the Job and send the raw  pages to the DFE. The Job will be imposed by the DFE. 

Impose single sheet Jobs only  If there is only one sheet in a Job (simplex or duplex), use the EasyVI  imposition mechanism to impose the Job. This will increase the automation of the flow. If the Job  contains more that one printing sheet (simplex or duplex), send the raw pages and let the DFE impose  the files. This will allow a more effective printing resume on the one hand, and reduce the automation  level on the other.

VIPP Job in the Production Queue

 A VIPP Job residing in the Production Approval queue is identified by the  icon.  

Upon approval, the VIPP Project Container (VPC) is created with the SETPROJECT destination as defined in  the VIPP Submission Folder.  

Note: This is an XML VIPP format within the Project Container. The VPC will be placed in the destination that was specified in the Site/Output Devices/Output Channel/Folder path.

Fonts Handling

The VIPP workflow supports all of the font types supported by FreeFlow Web Services standard workflows,  including True Type fonts. However, True Type fonts must be installed on the DFEs RIP for production;  Type1 fonts will be embedded in the Job. 

4 Xerox VIPP User Guide

VIPP Workflow VIPP Workflow describes the FreeFlow Web Services / VIPP integrated workflow. A variable data workflow in  FreeFlow Web Services allows the Print Buyer to easily create and order highly flexible and very sophisticated  Jobs, utilizing simple and intuitive browserbased tools. VIPP is a print stream, which enables an efficient,  printerrate variable data printing. The integration between these two tools provides owners of Xerox  printers, using a VIPPenabled digital front end and FreeFlow Web Service, with the most powerful and  flexible production tool on the market. 

Print Buyer Side

To order a variable data Job using the FreeFlow Web Services / VIPP integrated workflow, carry out the  following steps: 

1 Log into FreeFlow Web Services, select Order Jobs and click on the Print Documents from Our Documents  Start Order button; the Choose a Template window appears. 

2 Select a template that had been created for a variable data workflow.  3 Upload a database and follow the instructions to complete the Job creation.  4 Proof and complete the Job order, through confirmation. 

Print Provider Side

After Print Buyer confirmation, the VIPP Job is transferred to the Print Provider side and appears in the 

Production Approval queue (designated with the VIPP  icon).  

The Print Provider continues with the following steps: 

1 In Settings/Output Devices/Output Channels, set up a VIPPenabled output device; specific templates are  targeted to this output device. 

2 Approve the VIPP Job for production; the server automatically creates a VIPP Variable Project Container  (VPC file).  

Note: FreeFlow Web Services uses the Folder Balance output channel and places the VPC (VIPP Project Container) in the designated folder as defined in the Folder Path box, located in Settings/Output Device/ Device Channels. The VPC must be processed on the Digital Front End according to the Xerox VIPP documentation.
