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)
Job Ticket Lifecycle
Data Sources
1. Customer files and meta data
2. JDF-enabled preflight software
3. Customers entry via your company’s website or
via an e-commerce partner
4. Defaults and presets on your own equipment
5. Job “profiles” and defaults set in your “MIS
systems”
6. Direct entry
JDF Building Blocks
What Can JMF Do?
•
JMF controller may “register” w/ JDF-enabled MIS system
•
The JMF controller may report information about the devices
it supports to the JDF MIS system
•
The JMF controller may report events, status, and results (or
responses) to the JDF MIS system – including the phase a job
is in, counts, employees working the device, waste, and so on
•
One JMF controller may communicate to another
•
JDF MIS system may manage the controller/device’s job
queue
