Note: JDF is an XML-based data format that combines the job ticket specifications with a message description standard and a message interchange protocol. JDF is a further development of well-known technologies such as CIP3 PPF and the Adobe Portable Job Ticket Format (PJTF).
Prinect Renderer can use the JDF Portal to report details about reimaged plates (like material name, material size, time of imaging, type details) and proof outputs to an MIS system, as well as details about reimaged plates to Heidelberg Analyze Point.
The details about re-imaging sent through the JDF portal contain the job context of the original print job. In other words, if jobs were created in conjunction with a Prinect workflow system, e.g. with the Prinect Integration Manager, details such as Job ID, JobPartID, Layoutname, SignatureName, SheetName, Side, Separation or language version are also sent to the MIS or Analyze Point. Based on these details, re-imaged plates can be assigned clearly to the original job.
This is where you can set up a custom spool folder. Generally, you should select a drive on which neither the operating system nor the Prinect Renderer software is installed. However, if you are running out of disk space on the drive with the spool directory, you can select a spool directory on a different drive. You can monitor this in the drive monitor. See Drive Monitor.
•Delete Job After
This option allows you to set a time after which completed jobs will be deleted. This prevents the hard disk which contains the spool directory from being filled up with job data.
You can enable the following additional options if you enable this option:
·Only when Drive Monitor alert value is reached: The jobs are deleted automatically after the set period only if the alert value of the drive monitor is exceeded. See Drive Monitor. In this way, Prinect Renderer can still continue working for a while even if a monitored disk drive almost has too much data. In principle, it is better to use a sufficiently large hard disk (swap) to make sure that the alert value of the drive monitor is not reached.
·also delete jobs with warning status: Normally, only the jobs that were completed without an error are deleted automatically. Jobs that were completed with a warning are also deleted if this option is set. Remember that it's no longer possible to determine the reason for the warnings after these jobs are deleted automatically.
·also delete jobs with error status: Normally, only the jobs that were completed without an error are deleted automatically. Jobs whose processing was faulty and aborted are also deleted if this option is set. Remember that it's no longer possible to determine the reason for the errors after these jobs are deleted automatically.
•Transfer To The Depot After
If you enable this option, you can specify the time period (days, hours) after which the completed jobs will be moved automatically to the depot.
This is where you specify the folder the jobs are stored in by default (Default Depot Directory).
