  12. What Implementing Printers are looking for out of JDF?

  13. What Does JDF Do? • One common language that supports the lifecycle of a print job (e.g., “the job ticket standard”) • A flexible method for configuration of plant automation, workflows, and job production • Common controller language — for command and control of all production devices on the plant floor • Device Capabilities — Automating the handshake between devices (new in JDF 1.2)

  14. Job Ticket Lifecycle

  15. Data Sources • Customer files and meta data • JDF-enabled preflight software • Customers entry via your company’s website or via an e-commerce partner • Defaults and presets on your own equipment • Job “profiles” and defaults set in your “MIS systems” • Direct entry

  16. JDF Building Blocks
