Bidirectional communication in Command WorkStation enables the printer to submit ink details (volume of ink per color), media details (consumption/wastage), and printing time for each job. You need one output license for each physical printer.

To configure a bidirectional communication between print MIS device, Command WorkStation and printer, you must activate JDF communication in the software. JDF communication enables Command WorkStation to send and receive status messages from the printer. You also require JDF to transmit information about the current job status back to print MIS devices. For more information, see Enable bidirectional communication with a print MIS device.

The printer retrieves them from this folder. You can change the file path setting, if required.
