• The PPD set of media attributes is specific to the Fiery server. The name of each setting is standard across devices, but the list of possible options varies. The PPD set is recommended for new and intermediate users.

• The JDF set of media attributes comes from the printing industry standard specifications for Job Definition Format. This set of media attributes is not specific to the Fiery server, and allows for smooth mapping of media definitions from MIS-job submission workflows. The JDF set is recommended for advanced users familiar with the JDF workflow.

  Note: The Fiery server must support JDF printing and the feature must be enabled in Configure. Open Configure, and click Job Submission. Select JDF Settings and select the Enable JDF check box.

Some of the media attributes are common to both sets, although the naming may be slightly different. The JDF set provides more granularity.
