System information

If a JDF-submitting application has not been turned on, the following indicators alert users to jobs from applications
not yet tested and certified:
•
A warning icon is displayed for the job in the Command WorkStation job list.
•
A warning message is displayed in the JDF Details dialog box.
•
A JMF comment is returned to the JDF-submitting application with information on how to certify the
application.
Fiery JDF workflow
During job processing, the Fiery Server uses JMF (JDF's Job Messaging Format) to send back status and audit
information to the JDF job-submitting application.
When a JDF job is submitted to the Fiery Server, the job is checked for any errors or conflicts. If there are none, the
operator can select additional print actions from the Actions menu in Command WorkStation, or choose to print
the job directly.
If there is an error, the job is flagged in the Held list with an error icon.
The Job Errors window gives you a choice to fix or ignore JDF ticket conflicts. Ignoring a conflict may result in the
job being printed, but with missing JDF information.
After a JDF job is printed, a message signaling job completion is automatically returned to the submitting application
if the Fiery Server has been configured for Automate Job Close. For Manual Job Close, the operator needs to close
the job through the Command WorkStation window when printing is completed to his satisfaction.
Submit the JDF job
You can submit a JDF ticket through a Hot Folder filter or traditional JDF-submitting application using the JMF URL
of the Fiery Server.
1
Send a job to a Fiery Server from a JDF-submitting application.
Note: You cannot import a JDF job or send it from the printer driver.
2
The job is sent through JMF (Job Messaging Format). The submitting application sends the job to the JMF URL
of the Fiery Server.
3
Enter the JMF URL of the Fiery Server in the following format:
http://<host>:<port> (for example, http://192.168.1.159:8010)
Display JDF column headings in Command WorkStation
When a JDF job has been received by the Fiery Server and displayed in the Command WorkStation Held or Printed
list, you can select a JDF set of column headings to display useful information about the JDF job.

To display column headings for a JDF job, right-click in the column heading bar and select JDF Set.
