Opening Preps outside of job context
This procedure describes how to open Preps from the Prinergy
Tools
menu, outside of a job. This means that Preps does not open with a run
list that matches the Prinergy job's page set, and the imposition you
create in Preps will not be automatically imported into Prinergy. The
benefit of opening Preps outside of job context is that you can work
extensively in the Preps software without tying up a Prinergy job.
If you have a Preps (integration or stand-alone, floating license or a
dongle), you can open Preps outside of job context (from the Prinergy
Tools menu).
Note: Before opening Preps outside of job context for the first time, you must
install and configure Preps so that Prinergy knows where to locate the software.

Setting Integrated Preps preferences
Edit the
PrepsPrinergy.cfg.template
file on the Prinergy
server in order to set preferences for Preps on all clients.
Tip: You can determine what attributes the lines in the file control by
experimenting on the
PrepsPrinergy.cfg
that is on the client. Once you
determine exactly how to make the desired changes, modify the
PrepsPrinergy.cfg.template
on the server to affect Preps on all clients.
1. On the Prinergy server, navigate to the file
AraxiPreps
\Profiles\PrepsPrinergy
\PrepsPrinergy.cfg.template
.
Tip: Before you modify the file, you may want to make a copy of the original,
naming it
PrepsPrinergy.cfg.template.original
.
