Install the Xerox FreeFlow Print Manager software, which Xerox created to act as a JDF device for the DocuSP and other digital front ends. The Xerox DocuSP front end does not accept JDF messages directly.
The Xerox FreeFlow Print Manager software takes JDF files from the Prinergy software and translates them into instructions that can be understood by the bulk of the Xerox production fleet. To perform this function, Xerox FreeFlow Print Manager is installed on the Prinergy primary server and runs in the background to convert the files to a JDF format that is specific to Xerox.

  • Insert the Xerox FreeFlow Print Manager CD into the CD-ROM drive on the Prinergy primary or secondary server, and follow the prompts.
    If the installer does not start automatically, locate the Xerox FreeFlow Print Manager CD and manually start the installer.
