Server and Input Function Xerox 490/980 Color Continuous Feed Printing System IPDS Input Function This section explains about the IPDS input function. Stream Mode In the stream mode, two recovery modes are provided for recover upon jam or other error occurrence. These recovery modes are automatically switched over according to the use of extended spool upon queue setting. When this mode is selected, the IPDS input function directly prints the received data without loading it in the system spool.
