FileSpec URL: URL of the JDF content file. Specifies how the job ticket gets delivered.

o

MIMEEncoded: Content file will be MIME encoded along with JMF and JDF and sent

through the connector to the output device. This option provides an immediate preview
of the job because the JDF is part of the tickete and everything is included.

o

HTTP: JMF message will have a link to the JDF file as a shared path URL and the JDF file

will have a link to the content file as a shared path/HTTP/HTTPS URL.

o

3)

NTShared (Network Shared): Job ticket XML is embedded in the content file sent

through the connector to the output device.

You can change the JDF configuration at any time from the Print Shop

Connectors page. To do so, select the Connector in the grid then click JDF
Configuration
. Note that if you change the configuration from the Print Shop
Connectors
page, however, that all the devices in JDF connector at the specified URL
will share this JDF configuration (i.e., the configurations set at the individual devices
will be overridden).

Digital StoreFront supports Fiery virtual printers. When a Fiery device is added, all virtual

printers associated with the device (and its URL) will be listed on the Print Shop Outputs page and
available for printing from the Operator View.

Printing options specified in the ticket template for a product will override the default options
specified for the virtual printer. For example, if the virtual printer default setting is for tabloid-size
(11x17) paper but the job in Digital StoreFront specifies (i.e., on the JDF ticket) letter-size output,
the Fiery device will print the job on letter-size paper.

Notes on JMF/JDF Structure for Job Submission

Digital StoreFront communicates with JDF devices via the JDF/JMF infrastructure using MIME

encoding. The JMF message and the JDF (JDF Ticket) are bundled in a MIME package and based on
the FileSpecURL configuration the content file(s) are encoded and bundled in MIME package. This
MIME package is delivered to JDF connectors through the JMF URL provided by the connector.

For folder-based Devices (MicroPress, CD-ROM, EDOX, and Folder), MIME package will be copied to

the Hot Folder.
