Default for the Output Parameter Sets

There are three different sources for the default. The order in which the sources are used corresponds to the details given below:

•Job-specific output parameter set (internal resource, top priority): Normally, you have an output parameter set from the resources for the output of your job. You can modify this output param­eter set using "Edit" in the Print Job dialog (see "Edit" in the Print Job dialog ). This modified output parameter set is used only in conjunction with the current job.

·The current output parameter set (it doesn't matter whether it's modified or not) is saved together with the job. This output parameter set appears as the default when you display the Print Job dialog again with this job.

•Plate template (second priority): You can define an output parameter set in the plate template. The output parameter set from the plate template is used as the default if you don't have a job-specific one.

In a product part, you can define several plate templates with output parameter sets. The output parameter set assigned to the first press sheet in the press sheet list is the default one. The out­put parameter set of the next press sheet is used if the first press sheet was not assigned a set, and so on.

•Last output parameter set selected (third priority): Prinect Signa Station always remembers the last output parameter set used that comes from the resources (i.e. not job-specific output parameter sets!).

This output parameter set always appears as the default if you neither have a job-specific one nor is there one defined in the plate template.

The situation the first time is an exception. You started Prinect Signa Station for the first time and want to output a job for the first time. In this case, there is no job-specific output parameter set nor is there one that was last used. You then have two options:

•You defined an output parameter set in the plate template. This is then set as the default.

•You did not define an output parameter set in the plate template. There is no default.
