Creating a repeat job in Prinect Integration with an MIS (Prinect Business) connected
The repeat job is generated by the MIS (Prinect Business) and imported into Prinect Integration. The previous job was already produced and the press presets saved. The JDF PPF workflow was configured so that the job starts automatically in the Prinect Integration. There are two ways to transfer the print presets to the repeat job:
•The press presets are to be copied automatically
•The press presets are to be copied manually
The press presets are to be copied automatically
•JDF import for automatic use of the press presets must be configured in integration Manager.
At this point, we will describe only the configuration for copying the press presets automatically. You can find a detailed description on how to configure the JDF import in section Mixed PPF / JDF workflow with MIS and external prepress system.
•A repeat job must be created and a JDF file must be generated in Prinect Business. The repeat job will then be automatically imported into Prinect Integration.
