3.2 Job Definition Format (JDF) Capability
A new Web to Finish solution makes touch less workflow achievable from order to finished pro-
duct with no manual setup or intervention; thus, helping automatic print production by giving
the finishing devices an integral role in the manufacturing process.
Integrating finishing equipment capabilities into the job definition at the prepress stage reduces
or eliminates operator involvement and reduces or eliminates job setup time.
A new device, the called Bourg Box, allows BDF-e to communicate with any type of digital
printer.
The WorkFlow Manager (WFM) embedded in BDF-e GUI allows the BDF-e of a BB/
BDF-e configuration, to be set up for jobs and service using the BDF-e GUI.
The WFM uses a digital job ticket to set up the finishing equipment automatically.
Note: The optional SQE (Square Edge Module) does not feature the automatic setup
capability.
The job ticket is an XML based file format standard for information exchange in the graphic
arts environment.
The JMF (Job Message Format) synchronization between Ultimate Bindery and the Bourg
finisher informs Ultimate Bindery of the finisher status. When the finisher is ready, Ultimate
Bindery releases the job at the FFPS queue and the job is printed and finished.
Note: - JDF mode is only enabled with the optional Bourg JDF Kit.
