You can specify the record length for FreeForm 1 jobs and the network locations (paths) for objects used by variable data printing (VDP), such as common objects, PPML objects, and VPS objects.

1. From Configure, choose PDL > VDP.
   Note: If you are connected to a Fiery Server with FS150/150Pro, you can find settings mentioned in this procedure in RIP > VDP instead.
2. If users will apply imposition or duplex printing to a FreeForm 1 job, select the length of the record:

   • Job - Defines the record boundary as the entire job.

   • FreeForm Master - Defines the record boundary as the length of the FreeForm master.

3. Specify the number of records to examine (parse) while a VPS job is spooling.

   If you type a number, the Fiery Server examines a sample number of records to determine whether the record length is consistent among records. If the records in this sample have the same length, the Fiery Server assumes all records in the job have the same length.

   If the Fiery Server detects that any of the records have a different length (whether you specify All Records or a sample number), the Fiery Server examines all records when necessary for processing or imposition purposes. If the Fiery Server does not detect any different lengths in the sample records at spool time, but detects a subsequent record with a different length, the user is prompted for further action.

4. Click Add to specify the network paths where the Fiery Server searches for common objects, PPML objects, and VPS objects.
5. In the window that appears, type the path name or click Browse to locate the path.

   If you type the path name, use the format of a mapped drive (for example, Z:\folder) or a UNC (for example, \\computer name\folder).

6. If the path is located on a computer that requires authentication, select Remote Server Authentication, and then enter the appropriate user name and password.
7. Click OK.
8. To add more paths, click Add and repeat these steps.
9. Apply or save your changes.
