Fiery JDF
What Is JDF Technology?
JDF is an open-standard technology that allows data to pass between different applications and systems for automatic print production
workflow, specifying how jobs are managed and produced. JDF allows MIS, Web-to-Print and prepress solutions to talk to each other. The
electronic JDF job ticket simplifies data exchange and collection, eliminates manual data entry and re-entry, makes print production faster
and increases efficiency and accuracy.
Fiery JDF, available in Fiery servers, provides support for JDF workflows from the Fiery system itself. It provides the functionality of the
Fiery server and user-interface elements in Fiery Command WorkStation needed to integrate the Fiery server in JDF workflows. This
enables bidirectional JDF device connectivity between JDF submission tools (submitting JDF intent or JDF process job tickets via JMF —
Job Messaging Format) and the Fiery server.

Increases Productivity by Eliminating Manual Data Entry and Re-Entry
Fiery JDF technology allows job tickets and metadata to move through systems without human intervention and automatically collects
production data. It eliminates much of the need for operators to enter job and production data, dramatically decreasing waste and error.
The technology enables unattended job processing and frees up operators to complete other tasks that involve higher-level skills, which
ultimately increases profits. In addition, customer satisfaction is dramatically improved because jobs are delivered right, on time and on
budget.

Provides Highly Accurate Business Intelligence
Fiery JDF technology captures print production data, such as media usage and job running time, and disseminates it to the appropriate
business software (e.g., Print MIS) for more accurate reporting, estimating and accounting. Now business owners acquire automated
business intelligence that can help them assess their profitability.
