Sample VDP printing with FreeFlow 6.0 SP-2

[Steve]

So how do you sample a VDP job?

The FreeFlow is only set to print 1 even though there may be 50k names I am printing out.

How would I sample every 100th record?

I am responding to this old thread in case someone searches and finds this issue looking for a solution.

There is a script called setSpecialSample and it is found in the /opt/XRXnps/bin directory of the FreeFlow Print Server. When you enable the script, it changes the behavior of the sample function from sample every x sets to sample every x sheets. This will enable sampling for VI files.

To enable this feature:

1. Open a terminal window on your FFPS system.

2. become super user by typing "su", pressing enter and entering the appropriate password.

3. enter the following commands at the # prompt:

# cd /opt/XRXnps/bin

# ./setSpecialSample 1

4. Restart the FFPS software

To set the sampling behavior back to its default setting follow the above instructions and replace the 1 with a 0 in the ./setSpecialSample command.
