Accompanying papers refer to the various papers that accompany a quantity of goods (e.g. pallets, plates, etc) to the next step in their processing (e.g. press or finishing). Accompanying papers contain all relevant details needed for the next step in goods processing.
In the "Accompanying Papers" tab, you manage all the accompanying paper templates for prepress, press and finishing. Later on ,you can assign these accompanying paper templates to a device/machine,
By default, there are 16 accompanying paper templates at your disposal. A number of templates are available for some device classes such as sheetfed presses. These differ in the information that can be displayed.
The text contents of pallet sheets is described in Which job data is printed out? and for plate set sheets in What information will be printed?.
Please contact your Prinect Service if you require more templates.
