The SRA IPDS settings can be defined in the Settings Editor.
Open the Settings Editor.
Click tab "Transaction printing".
Click "Setups".
Select one setup and click "Open".
You must select only one setup at a time.
Click "IPDS setup".
Configure the SRA IPDS settings.
See the table below for detailed information.
IPDS settings |
Range |
---|---|
Tray selection |
Tray-to-tray, Tray-to-media (default) |
Data resolution |
Auto (default), 240, 300, 600 |
Default output destination |
All available output locations. Default: stack1. If not present : stapler1 |
Offset stacking (job separation) |
Enabled (default), disabled |
Font capture |
Enabled, disabled (default) |
Extend logical page |
0 (default) – 24000 mpt |
Output recovery |
Normal (default), Suppressed |
Face orientation |
Face up / face down / finisher default (default) |
Z-fold mode ![]() Only for configurations that require job-level notion of Z-folding. Z-folding is selectable on sheet-level. |
Yes, No (default) |
Data resolution
This setting allows you to specify the resolution of the bitmaps that the printer accepts.
Font capture
This setting allows you to specify if fonts can be captured from jobs that are sent to the printer for later reference. This setting also controls whether captured or installed fonts are selectable.
Extend logical page
The logical page size is virtually extended with the entered number of millipoints. This makes it possible to print (slightly) larger page sizes to prevent that information cannot be printed on a page.
Output recovery
When output recovery is suppressed, the printer does not check if the output is correct after a recovery. The host system and the operator are responsible for the recovery. This means that the operator must indicate at the host where printing needs to resume.
Face orientation
With this setting, the default face orientation of the requested finisher can be overruled per setup.
Mpt = millipoints = 1/72000 inch.
IPDS image shift settings |
Range |
---|---|
Image shift in feed direction of side 1 Image shift in cross-feed direction of side 1 Image shift in feed direction of side 2 Image shift in cross-feed direction of side 2 |
0 mm is the default value. Minimum: -4.2 Maximum: 4.2 Step: 0.1 mm |
The image shift in feed direction is the margin of the front edge and the back edge of the sheet. The front edge and back edge are defined by the feed direction of the sheet. The image shift in cross-feed direction is the margin of the side edges of the sheet. Side 1 is the front of a sheet. Side 2 is the back of a sheet.
Colour management settings |
Range |
---|---|
Default CMYK input profile |
For PDF and native IPDS data using DeviceCMYK. Input profile or “none”. |
Default monochrome CMYK input profile |
Input profile or “ibm” or “postscript”. |
Default RGB input profile |
For PDF and native IPDS data using DeviceRGB. Input profile or “none”. |
Default monochrome RGB input profile |
Input profile or “none” or “ibm” or “postscript”. |
Rendering intent |
Perceptual (default), Saturation, Absolute colorimetric, Relative colorimetric |
Print full colour or B/W |
Full colour (default), B/W |
Ignore toner transfer curve from data steam |
Yes (default), No |
Ignore embedded output profile ![]() PCL contains no embedded output profiles. |
Yes (default), No |
Black preservation |
On (default), Off |
Halftone |
Normal (default), Fine, Error diffusion |
Rendering intent
Use setting "Rendering intent" only when no render intent is defined in the data stream.
Halftone
This setting defines the halftone pattern for text, graphics and images.
PDF specific settings |
Range |
---|---|
PDF “all” to black |
Yes, No (default) |
PDF enable cache |
Yes, No (default) |
PDF overprint simulation |
Yes (default), No |
PDF “all” to black
With this setting, the APPE can be forced to rip the colour “all” to only 100% black, instead of 100% of each of the four colours.
PDF enable cache
The APPE can use a caching mechanism to automatically identify and store ripped objects which are used more than once in the job. Usually this will improve the rip performance with PDF data. However, there are a few jobs which will run a bit slower with the caching mechanism. The user therefore has the choice through the setup if he wants to use the PDF cache or not.
PDF overprint simulation
PDF overprint simulation can be enabled to ensure correct printing of overprinted areas. Colour management must be switched off to print overprints correctly. For example: set the input profile to none.
IPDS tray-to-tray mapping |
|
---|---|
Logical tray for <tray name> ![]() For all supported physical input trays of the product type. Default values are specified in the tray-to-tray section. |
1 – 16 ![]() Each logical tray must have a unique value. |
IPDS tray to media for tray x |
|
---|---|
Media attributes |
From media catalogue ![]() Each media attribute must be unique. |
Feed direction for media |
SEF, LEF (default) |
Colour names and numbers - (C, M, Y, K) colour station |
Range |
---|---|
Colour number |
One number for each of the four stations (C, M, Y, K). Range 1..254. Not valid for the K station. Zero is reserved for K station and is not editable. ![]() Use for HLC. |
Colour alias names |
0..6 alpha-numerical names for all colour stations. ![]() The names "Gray", "Cyan", "Magenta", "Yellow", "Black", "All", "None" are reserved for PDF and cannot be used. |
