• afptrace.a4—prints a sample IPDS job formatted for A4 paper
• scfont.trc—prints a sample IPDS job using resident outline fonts formatted for either US Letter or
A4 paper.
• micrtrace.letter—prints a sample IPDS Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR) job formatted
for US Letter paper
• micrtrace.a4—prints a sample IPDS MICR job formatted for A4 paper
• micrtrace.legal—prints a sample IPDS MICR job formatted for US Legal paper
In order for the trace scfont.trc to print correctly, the IBM® AFP fonts must be loaded on the printer
and Enhanced Font Support must be enabled.
Note These jobs test only Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server IPDS processing on the printer.
The trace files are set up to use the installation default parameters. If you plan to run the A4 trace
instead of the US Letter trace, change the Media Definition for the Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server IPDS
Tray 1 from US Letter to A4. In IPS Manager, you must map a medium to each Xerox FreeFlow® Print
Server IPDS tray specified in the IPDS data stream.
For the installation verification jobs, use US Letter or A4 media. Refer to the IPS Manager online help
for the specific procedures.
Printing a Test Job From the Host
To verify host-to-printer communications, perform these steps to print a test job from the host:
1. Ensure Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server IPDS is running and the Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server IPDS is
Idle.
2. Start the logical printer from the host and verify that it is active.
3. Send an IPDS print data stream from the host to the print server.
