Introduction
The System Guide provides the information needed to perform
system administration tasks for configuring and maintaining the
Xerox FreeFlow
®
Print Server for printing systems.
About this guide
This guide is intended for network and system administrators
responsible for setting up and maintaining Xerox printers with
Xerox FreeFlow Print Server software. System administrators
should have an understanding of the Sun workstation, a familiarity
with Solaris, and with basic UNIX commands. This includes the
use of text editors such as vi or textedit and the ability to
maneuver within the Solaris environment. To enable them to setup
a customer site, system administrators are expected to have a
working knowledge of Local Area Networks (LANs),
communication protocols, and the applicable client platforms.

This section discusses fonts and font resources and caveats on
certain system preferences and how they interact with specific
workflows.
Fonts
The following information explains how to use and choose fonts
for a job. It also covers various resident and non-resident fonts
and their availability.
How to choose fonts
Although document source files can specify almost any image on
a printed page, images that contain letters, numbers, punctuation,
and symbols are common enough to require a special mechanism
for dealing with them, similar to movable type. This mechanism is
the font. The Xerox FreeFlow
®
Print Server controller provides the
following resident fonts: Type 1, Type 42 (TT: TrueType), and
CID. Also supported are Types 0, 1, 2, 3, 9, 10, 11, 14, 32, and
42.
Fonts
The most important thing to remember is that the font used to
create a document must also be available to the Xerox FreeFlow
Print Server controller.
NOTE: The Xerox FreeFlow Print Server supports the euro
character. Most font families include the euro character.
At the Xerox FreeFlow Print Server controller, a font can exist in
three forms:
Resident fonts A resident font is an internal font that is permanently stored on the
Xerox FreeFlow Print Server controller and is always available.
Soft fonts An optional or soft font is a typeface that is loaded as needed at
the Xerox FreeFlow Print Server controller. This allows the Print
1-2 System Guide
System Administration
Server controller to be customized with special fonts, such as
logos, or other special font applications as needed.
Downloaded font A downloaded font is a font that has its requirements embedded in
the actual source file. If this font is not available at the Xerox
FreeFlow Print Server controller, the downloaded information is
used to process and print the document. Although it is useful, it
also creates a much larger file size.
Downloading fonts from the network
Downloading commercial fonts from the Network allows fonts to
be downloaded to the Xerox FreeFlow Print Server Controller from
both Mac or PC platforms. Supported application programs for
font downloading are as follows: PC Platform - Adobe Type On
Call; Apple Macintosh Platform - Adobe OCF, Marisawa, and Font
Works
Font download can also occur on a queue designed specifically
for the Appletalk gateway. These fonts usually a Japanese
(double-byte) or Chinese type font set. Applications in the Fuji
Xerox marketplace utilize the Appletalk two-way protocol to poll
the printer and then download the massive character sets needed
in these markets. In the U.S. marketplace the typical font loading
mechanism is to hard drive in [Administration]. The use of English
fonts from specific applications (e.g, Adobe has some) download
from the AppleTalk gateway is not common.
Resident fonts
The Xerox FreeFlow Print Server controller comes with a wide
variety of fonts that are available when creating a document.
NOTE: If you are unsure of the availability of a font, always
consult with your print organization’s management to determine
which fonts are currently loaded on the Xerox FreeFlow Print
Server controller.
PostScript resident fonts
The PostScript Type 1 typeface families listed in Table 1-1:
“PostScript Fonts” are scalable, which means that all point sizes
are supported, even intermediate point sizes. These include the
System Guide 1-3
System Administration
typefaces that make up the LaserWriter IINTX basic font set, plus
additional Type 1 fonts supplied by Xerox.

PCL resident fonts
There are three types of PCL 5e resident fonts that are
permanently loaded at the Xerox FreeFlow Print Server controller:
Scalable Intellifont typefaces

Non-resident fonts
There may be many fonts available in your application that are not
resident at the Xerox FreeFlow Print Server controller. There are
two options for using non-resident fonts to create a document.
Downloaded fonts
If you expect to create a document using fonts that are available
on your workstation but not available at the Xerox FreeFlow Print
Server controller, your application may automatically download the
font when the job is sent to the printer. Fonts downloaded in this
manner are considered “temporary” and are deleted from the
Xerox FreeFlow Print Server controller as soon as the job is
printed.

NOTE: Refer to your application documentation for more
information on downloading fonts in your document.
If you are using a font in your application that has the same name
as a resident font but is a different version, it must be downloaded
with the job. The Xerox FreeFlow Print Server controller will use
the downloaded font rather than the resident font.
NOTE: Marking a font for “permanent” downloading in your
application is not supported.
Optional or soft fonts
Downloading fonts each time you print will increase the size of the
file and result in a longer transmission time. If your print jobs
regularly require a font that is not a resident font, you may request
to have it installed as an optional font at the Xerox FreeFlow Print
Server controller. Your printing organization's font policy should
give you the specific information you need to request a special
font.
Font substitution
A document may require a font that is not available at the Xerox
FreeFlow Print Server controller and has not been downloaded
with the source file. When the requested font is not available, font
substitution will take place.
PostScript fonts
A single default font, set by the System Administrator in the Xerox
FreeFlow Print Server software, will be substituted for any font
requirements that cannot be met at the Print Server controller. A
message will be printed to confirm that a substitution has taken
place.
PCL 5e fonts
Another type of substitution occurs for PCL fonts. If a requested
PCL font is not available, the Xerox FreeFlow Print Server
controller will determine which available font best matches the
requested one and perform the substitution. Any PCL stream that
does not have any fonts specified in the file will have the default
font programmed in the “PCL font” section for the corresponding
queue in Queue Management.

System Preferences caveats
Combinations of certain System Preferences settings can be set
in order to enhance certain customer workflows. Some examples
follow:
When printing on transparency stock and
printing
Administrative Pages (such as a Banner Page), the FreeFlow
Print Server uses the default administrative page stock (versus
the document job stock) to print the Administrative Pages.
If Resource Based Scheduling is enabled
(Setup >
System Preferences > Job Processing > Resource Based
Scheduling), the job is held until the default administrative
page stock is loaded on the printer.
If Resource Based Scheduling is disabled
, a message is
displayed telling the user to load the requested stock.
NOTE: If you are printing Administrative Pages (Banner Page,
Error Page, Attribute Report) with your transparency job, ensure
that the default administrative stock is loaded before running the
job.
