The time until a hold job is automatically erased is three days from the last performed operation, such as submitting the job or editing the job ticket. You can change the time until auto erase in [Time Until Hold Job Auto Delete] in [Hold] in [Function Settings] (Settings/Registration).

  • imageWARE Prepress Manager Select

Prepress Manager is a printing application. Wide range of imposition modes enable you to create, edit, and print various documents. You can use the export mode to convert the scanned data into PDF, JPEG, TIFF, or BMP files. You can also edit and correct scanned image using the standard-equipped Image Editor.

  • PM Hot Folder Manager

PM Hot Folder Manager is a standard application that comes with the Prepress Manager. PM Hot Folder Manager enables you to remote-scan documents from a computer and store the scanned data in a hot folder*1 on the computer. This application is best suited for routing print-on-demand jobs.

  • imageWARE POD Hot Folder

PD Hot Folder Manager constantly monitors folders registered as hot folders*1 on the computer. When you drag-and-drop a supported PDF file to a hot folder on the computer, the file will be assigned with preset print settings and then transmitted to the PS Printer Driver.

  • Workflow Using a Job Ticket

Using a job ticket in JDF (Job Definition Format)*2 standard, you can make sure that every setting is desired before a print job is output. You can check the paper sizes and types that are registered in the machine, make sample prints, and change the finishing settings, etc. To change the settings of a job that has an electronic record other than the JDF, you need to use related applications, such as the printer driver and imageWARE Prepress Manager.

Remark
  • You cannot edit the job ticket settings of a job that is submitted from the printer driver.
  • The following two types of job tickets are available:
  • A job ticket that applies to the whole job
  • A job ticket that only applies to certain pages of a job

*1 Hot Folder:
A hot folder is a directory on the computer to which print settings can be preset. When you drag a print job file to a hot folder, the print data will be transmitted to the device, and the print job will be performed with the preset print settings. The use of hot folders streamlines complex printing tasks and standardizes print-on-demand operations.
*2 JDF (Job Definition Format):
Proposed by the International Cooperation for the Integration of Processes in Prepress, Press and Postpress Organization (CIP4), JDF is a comprehensive XML-based file format and industry standard for end-to-end job ticket specifications combined with a message description standard and message interchange protocol.
