the page, job, or queue level, giving you
complete control over your print jobs.

applications, and optimize every production
printer in your shop with the FreeFlow Print
Server. Designed to maximize your results using
the entire portfolio of Xerox production printers,
it streamlines and organizes your workfl ow,
whether you’re using monochrome or color
devices, continuous feed, or cut sheet. It even
helps unify operations that use a combination
of offset and digital print engines. Count on the

FreeFlow Print Server. Its intuitive and easy-
to-use interface translates into a streamlined
workfl ow for trained operators as well as casual
users. Job submission is easy with a choice of
print drivers as well as the ability to directly
submit a job from a CD, DVD, or USB drive.
Set up customized print workfl ows according
to job or customer using the power of over 250
print queues. Then, utilize those queues over
and over—and integrate them with hot folder
submission—without having to reprogram.
The FreeFlow Print Server also supports open
industry standards such as job defi nition
format (JDF) so you can effi ciently manage
your print schedule.
Prefl ight capabilities enable quick checking for
common errors before “committing to print.”
You’ll also benefi t from three levels of preview
capabilities that allow you to preview static
and Variable Information (VI) jobs before
scheduling. Generate thumbnails to quickly view
the fi le that you are printing or a low-resolution
preview to verify layout, formats, and colors.
When working with a color digital press, you
can generate a high-resolution preview for color
control down to the pixel level, as well as deliver
a soft proof.
Benchmark security.
Get multiple security levels, all based on
the stable and secure UNIX
®
operating system.
Encrypted job-submission modes provide for
public and private key encryption. For security
profi les, the FreeFlow Print Server offers custom
setups, a secure password, and a print mode that
limits duplicate page printing.
Outstanding variable data
capabilities.
Customize, personalize, and add more value to
the documents you produce—while gaining
a competitive edge in your business—with
Variable Information (VI) printing. With
the FreeFlow Print Server, you can effi ciently
compose VI jobs with sophisticated formats
and graphic elements. Its broad range of VI
capabilities make it the logical printing solution
for both transactional printers using mainframe
data streams such as AFP/IPDS, LCDS, or a
VIPP
®
workfl ow, and commercial printers using
graphic-intensive VI workfl ows. It securely
handles all of the most widely used data
streams, so you have the fl exibility to print
to a variety of print engines based on the
application, not the data stream.
VI imposition supports common fi le formats,
including VIPP, PPML, PDF, PostScript
®
, and
PCL5c. All data is kept intact using a native
format without fi le conversion.
Overall performance for every
workfl ow.
Parallel processing, available for many
printers, enables concurrent operation, speeding
up the production of hundreds of small jobs or
complex VI jobs with thousands of customer
database entries. The FreeFlow Print Server will
optimize page parallel or job parallel RIPping,
delivering peak performance for every print job.

feature-rich print server can deliver—for today
and the future.

drive your workfl ow with the Xerox FreeFlow Print Server. It delivers the speed
and quality you need for better results with the print jobs you’re producing today.

jobs, the FreeFlow Print Server will help you get more out of your production workfl ow.
