The settings that are possible in this step depend on which rendering engine (Prinect Renderer or Prinect Shooter (TIFF-B connection)) and which output device in the "on" list box are set. You can only use options affecting device properties that are sent by the renderer concerned to Prinect Production.
Note: You can disable "Image Setting" if in the "on" list box you select a device that is driven by the output of Tiff-B files, e.g. a CTP device driven by a Prinect Shooter. The Tiff-B files are then generated but not submitted directly to the Prinect Shooter but are buffered.
You can use this function to set up a ROOM proof workflow (RIP Once Output Many). In this process, you can output the Tiff-B files as a proof with the FormProof sequence (see "FormProof" Sequence Template) and then check them before imaging them with a FormOutput sequence (see "FormOutput" Sequence Template).
The "Imaging" option is always enabled for devices that do not process TIFF-B files.
"Image Setting" Option for Prinect Renderer with Directly Connected CTP Device
"Punch Scheme" list box
You can define different punch configurations and save them as punch schemes (F1 to F10) in a Speedway Engine Manager for HEIDELBERG CTP devices that are controlled by this Engine Manager. You can select one of the punch schemes if such a device is selected. This scheme is then used for outputs to a CTP device that are controlled with this sequence. If you set "off" (no punch scheme selected), the settings that were defined elsewhere are used. This can be in your DTP application, at Prinect Signa Station or at the imagesetter.
"Image Setting" Option for Prinect Renderer with Tiff-B Export without Prinect Shooter Control
"Punch Scheme" list box
You can define different punch configurations and save them as punch schemes (F1 to F10) in a Speedway Engine Manager for HEIDELBERG CTP devices that are controlled by this Engine Manager. You can select one of the punch schemes if such a device is selected. This scheme is then used for outputs to a CTP device that are controlled with this sequence. If you set "off" (no punch scheme selected), the settings that were defined elsewhere are used. This can be in your DTP application, at Prinect Signa Station or at the imagesetter.
"Send generated TIFF-B files as imaged plates to MIS" option
Prerequisite: You can only use this option if "Default TIFF-B Export" was selected as the output device, but without Prinect Shooter control.
Normally, this option is always enabled. This means that each generated Tiff-B file is reported back to the MIS as an imaged plate. You can disable this option if you do not want this feedback. For example, this can be the case if a Tiff-B file has errors and has to be generated again, without a plate imaged for the first version. Platemaking is booked for each generated Tiff-B file if this option is enabled. The repeated generation of a Tiff-B file is not booked as platemaking when the option for re-imaging is disabled.
Note: You should leave this option enabled for all cases where TIFF-B files need not be generated again.
"Image Setting" Option for Prinect Renderer with Prinect Shooter Control
Prerequisite: To be able to access these settings, you must first select "Default TIFF-B Export" as the output device in the "on" list box. After that, you must enable the "Image Setting" option and select "MetaShooter on ..." as the output device again in the "on" list box.
"Image Setting" Option for Prinect Renderer with Directly Connected CTP Device
"Punch Scheme" list box
You can define different punch configurations and save them as punch schemes (F1 to F10) in a Speedway Engine Manager for HEIDELBERG CTP devices that are controlled by this Engine Manager. You can select one of the punch schemes if such a device is selected. This scheme is then used for outputs to a CTP device that are controlled with this sequence. If you set "off" (no punch scheme selected), the settings that were defined elsewhere are used. This can be in your DTP application, at Prinect Signa Station or at the imagesetter.
"Type" box
This box displays the CTP device connected to the Prinect Shooter.
"Material name" list box
This is where you select the plate material that will be used for jobs processed with this sequence. The list contains the materials that are available on the CTP device.
"Dimensions" boxes
These display the dimensions of the selected plate material.
"Status" box
This shows the current operational status of the CTP device.
"Punch Scheme" list box
You can define different punch configurations and save them as punch schemes (F1 to F10) in a Speedway Engine Manager for HEIDELBERG imagesetters that are controlled by this Engine Manager, in this case by Prinect Shooter. You can select one of the punch schemes if such a device is selected. This scheme is then used for outputs to a CTP device that are controlled with this sequence. If you set "off" (no punch scheme selected), the settings that were defined elsewhere are used. This can be in your DTP application, at Prinect Signa Station or at the imagesetter.
