Outputting to digital printers using the legacy method
This procedure describes an older method of sending files to digital
presses, and it has many limitations compared to the Managed
Connections method.
Requirements:
●
A process template that uses the
Include JDF for Digital Print
section must be set up for the digital printer.
●
If you are submitting a job that has JDF content, the correct JDF
template must be created for the digital device. See the
Prinergy
Digital Print Installation and Configuration Guide
.
1. Select the pages, page set, or imposition that you want to send to
the digital printer.
2. Start a process using the process template that is appropriate for
the items that you selected:
○
If you selected pages or page sets, use the loose page output
process template that you created for digital printing.
○
If you selected an imposition plan, use the imposition output
process template that you created for digital printing.
