When the smart hot folder moves a Preps .job file into the job hot
folder, the integrated Preps software creates the PJTF and marks files.
The imposition plan is added to the Prinergy job. The Preps .job file is
saved in the
<job folder>\System\ImpositionPlans
folder.
When the smart hot folder moves a Preps .job file from UpFront
software into the job hot folder, the integrated Preps software finds the
UpFront software-created template in the
Template
folder and
outputs PJTF and marks files. If the UpFront software-created template
referenced in the Preps .job is not found, Preps will not create the PJTF
and the import fails.
When the smart hot folder moves a stripping parameter file into the
job import hot folder, the page set is created and the Preps job is saved
in the
<job folder>\System\ImpositionPlans
folder. If a
matching signature is not found, the PJTF and marks file is not created
and an imposition plan is not imported.
