In "Settings > General settings > General", you define whether jobs are to be deleted and when. To avoid your hard disk from overflowing, we recommend that you specify at least a period for days.
Note: All settings become active only after you clicked "Save".
"Never"
All the jobs are kept in the system, even if the TIFF was already output. Your hard disk can overflow fast if you enable this option and disable "Delete temporary files immediately".
"Now"
Jobs are deleted immediately after the TIFF files were output to the imagesetter folder.
"In <no.> days"
We recommend that you enable this option. Jobs are deleted automatically after the number of days set in this box. You should set the period to match your workflow.
The Combiner groups the separations coming from prepress to jobs and submits them to Automatic Paper Stretch Compensation.
"Collect <no.> minutes"
This is where you set how long a hotfolder will wait for incoming jobs until they are grouped to one job. The waiting period starts again after each separation. If another separation arrives after the waiting period, compensation calculation starts all over again, even if the data are already output to the imagesetter. The new files overwrite the preceding ones.
The compensated TIFF files for the imagesetter are filed to the output directory. After output, these files are generally deleted by the imagesetter. This is where you can define a deletion rule if no such rule is configured in the imagesetter.
"Delete in <no.> days"
The TIFF files are deleted automatically from the output directory after the number of days set for this option. The files are not deleted if "0" is set.
Default area coverage for color gap
In multicolor printing, one or more printing units may also run along idly. Paper that runs through an idle printing unit is stretched although no color is applied. This stretching is taken into account with a one-off setting. In this process, a minimum area coverage value is predefined for idle printing units. This value applies to all missing colors, regardless of the printing unit they are on.
