What's New with Fiery JDF

The latest Fiery JDF v1.6 provides following JDF-enabled Fiery features, as well as fixes for know issues and performance optimization.

Sequential Print Queue Support: This feature allows integrated upstream software to send jobs to the Fiery server sequentially so that jobs sent in a batch maintains an order of "First In, First Out". The Sequential Print Queue feature needs to be enabled first in Configure for the Fiery server.
Specify media for Fiery JDF Banner Page: You can now specify custom media for the Fiery JDF Banner Page. A banner page can be printed before a job, after a job, or before and after a job. The content of the banner page is printed based on the content URL of a PDF file specified in the JDF ticket (such as the location of MIS crystal report) or can be automatically generated based on the job information. The behavior is the same as the Cover page feature in Job Properties.
Job level Adobe PDF Print Engine (APPE) on/off: This new feature allows integrated upstream software, such as MIS or a prepress workflow, to remotely turn on or off the Adobe PDF Print Engine Preferred setting in the Job Properties window at the job level.
