Customizing an import process template
Create a custom import process template for importing jobs from
UpFront.
Requirements:
●
If you are using UpFront 4.0.3 or earlier, and have different plate
sizes in your shop, you must create an import process template for
each size.
●
If you are using UpFront 4.0.4 or later, you can create only one
import process template for all plate sizes, but you must define the
Target Device
setting on the
Preps
tab of the press library in
UpFront. For more information, see the
UpFront 4.0.4 Release Notes
.
●
If you are exporting a JDF file from UpFront, you must create an
import process template for each media size.
●
Ensure that all Preps templates, marks, and printer files are located
on the Prinergy server in the
Prinergy\CreoAraxi
\AraxiPreps
folder.
This procedure applies to an UpFront-to-Prinergy workflow.
