IPDS User Guide

Using Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server IPS Manager
appropriate interactions with the host take place, rather than
simply terminating the job.
Because standard IPDS cancel processing differs from Xerox
FreeFlow® Print Server cancel processing for other PDLs, there
are a number of special cases that can occur, including:
•
Handling a cancel attempt that is unable to complete
•
Canceling a job that has completed decomposition
•
Canceling a job that has not yet started decomposition
•
Canceling a job when printer faults are active
•
Requesting to cancel a job more than once
Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server presents an information dialog
when IPDS cancel is requested. This dialog provides a Reset
button. If standard IPDS cancel is taking too long, or is unable to
complete for some reason, the user can click on the Reset button,
causing all remaining IPDS jobs to terminate, and forcing IPDS
communication with the host to be restarted. This button should
only be used as a last resort, since if the job has not completed
normally, the host will attempt to retransmit it, unless the user has
first deactivated the job at the host.
IPDS cancel for Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server can only be
performed for a job that is currently being decomposed. If cancel
is requested for a job that has already been decomposed, the
Print Server will display a fault message, stating that it is too late
to cancel the job. In order to provide a way to clear a job that
cannot continue, the fault dialog will provide a Reset button, as
described above.
If the user attempts to cancel an IPDS job before a single page
has committed to print, a fault message stating that cancel has
been scheduled will be displayed. As in the too late to cancel
scenario, the fault dialog provides a Reset button that can be used
if necessary to force termination of IPDS jobs. If the Reset button
is not applied, standard IPDS cancel processing will be performed
once the Print Server is able to report to the host that a page has
been committed for printing.
When printer faults are detected, the print server reports to the
host that intervention is required. This causes the host to stop
sending print data. Because standard IPDS cancel depends on
printing the remaining committed pages, plus trailer pages, it
cannot be performed when printer faults exist. When the print
server detects an attempt to cancel a job when there are printer
faults, it displays an additional fault message, informing the user
of this situation. If the user clears the printer faults, cancel
processing will complete. Alternatively, if the user clicks on the
Reset button on the cancel faulted job dialog, all remaining IPDS
jobs are forced to terminate, as described above.
If the user attempts to cancel a job more than once, a cancel
dialog with a Reset button is provided as described above,
allowing the user a means to clear the job from the system.
