In order that the jobs can be processed by a prepress system of Prinect Pressroom Manager and forwarded to the machine, the following steps have to be carried out:
1.A machine must be connected via the "Central Device Manager" (CDM).
2.The automatically generated sequence for the machine created previously must be adapted if necessary.
Here you define what is to happen with the imported data. For instance sheet preview generation, ink zone calculation, calculation of the ink consumption, and to which connected printing press the job should be sent.
Note: After automatic creation of a "SheetfedPrinting" sequence, a corresponding process will also be created automatically.
The Prinect Pressroom Manager needs to know where your prepress system saves the PPF/CIP3 files. A target directory ("Hotfolder") that automatically processes "arriving" PPF/CIP3 files is defined via the process. You can also define how the job data from the prepress system is to be processed here (for example, "Apply transformations" or "Activate automatic combiner").
Each automatically generated process is created with default settings which are defined in the "General" section in the PPF import (see Define the general process setting).
You can then manually change these standard settings individually for each defined process.
3.Optional: The settings of the automatically generated process may also have to be changed.
4.You must define whether the job is to be forwarded in advance.
