Command workstation for Xerox Freeflow

[Heresh]

We use Xerox Freeflow, I wonder is there any way I can control the jobs, is there something like Fireys CWS for Xerox freeflow? What is the equivelant?

No there is not. Big reason why my old shop moved from FFPS to Fiery. FreeFlow Makeready / FreeFlow Remote Client might be the closest combination.

Actually there are some third-party products out there if all you want is queue management.

RSA (Rochester Software Associates) has a nifty albiet expensive product called QDirect.

ATI from the UK has it's doc-Q-manager

I'm sure there are others but these two I've installed, trained and supported them both and they are good products.

There is such a thing as CWS for FreeFlow. It's called Remote printserver and usually comes with the FreeFlow software used for a reload in case of software corruption on the server.

Not sure if it has been updated recently but It takes at least 60 seconds to connect to each printer which is a productivity nightmare since you can only have 1 connection at a time.

It's called FreeFlow Remote Print Services. It should work very similar to CWS.
