Processes

Syntax

XPath:

/JDF[@Type="Combined"]

/JDF[@Category="DigitalPrinting"]

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

Description

The ticket may contain multiple JDF nodes, however one of the JDF child nodes should be of type combined and the types attribute should contain at least the mandatory processes listed below.

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

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.

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

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

  NOTE

  Do not specify these processes more than once. The only exception to this rule is HoleMaking, which can be specified two times for a Double Punch.

• 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.

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

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

Example

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