Introduction Xerox Job Ticket Converter


2. Job Ticket Converter Installation

NOTE: The Job Ticket Converter is typically installed when FreeFlow Print Manager is installed. For instructions on installing the Job Ticket Converter along with FreeFlow Print Manager, see the Xerox FreeFlow Print online help. These instructions tell you how to install the standalone version of the Job Ticket Converter from the Xerox web site.

Xerox FreeFlow Converter is a software application used to convert legacy .xjt (Xerox Job Ticket) job tickets to .xpf (Xerox Printing Instruction Format) job tickets. If you are using or have used FreeFlow software that generated only .xjt job tickets, you need to convert those job tickets to a format that can be read by newer Xerox print drivers, which can read only .xpf tickets.

NOTE: The Xerox Job Ticket Converter can convert XJT tickets generated only by the XPPS suite of tools. It cannot convert job tickets generated by DigiPath or FreeFlow software.
