XPath:

/JDF[@Type="Combined"]

/JDF[@Category="DigitalPrinting"]

/JDF[contains(@Types=<see table below>)]

Description

The JDF root node is a "Combined Process" node, which specifies the attributes @Type, @Category and @Types.

The ticket must contain only one JDF node.

The supported processes which can be listed in the attribute @Types are:

When a process is present in @Types, its parameter resources and the input and output resources must be specified in the /JDF/ResourceLinkPool element. Intermediate resources do not need to be specified, see JDF 1.3. For example, LayoutPreparation implies the presence of LayoutPreparationParams.

  • ColorCorrection, HoleMaking, Creasing, Folding, Stitching, oce:Mailbox and CoverApplication:

    Do not specify these processes more than once.

  • When you use CoverApplication for perfect binding jobs:

    Do not specify: HoleMaking, Creasing, Folding, Stitching and Gathering.

    It is allowed to specify Trimming.

  • Gathering is the only process allowed to be specified more than once.

Remark

A Process node is not allowed to have a JDF child node, see [ICS-IDP].

LayoutPreparation, Imposition, Interpreting, Rendering, and DigitalPrinting must always be specified once, even if these are not used. For example:

<JDF Type="Combined" Category="DigitalPrinting" Types="LayoutPreparation Imposition Interpreting Rendering DigitalPrinting"/>
