Overview
The HP Production Pro for Indigo Labels & Packaging User Interface can be accessed by opening a Web browser
and navigating to the System Manager server.
The User Interface provides a single point of control to the System Manager, providing visibility to all jobs on the
system. When you access the User Interface, the main window displays.
The main window has two major tabs: Production and System.
● Production: this tab lets you find and view all the jobs in the system. It also lets you monitor the status of
the RIPs and other system processors.
● System: this tab allows you to configure all of the different aspects of HP Production Pro for Indigo Labels &
Packaging Print Server including users, devices, feature settings, and job workflow.

System processors
The system processors are the operations that control the workflow of jobs in the system.

Download Acquires job files and other assets for jobs submitted via Internet (ISV jobs).

RIP Sends job files to the Production RIP Manager and the Router processor sends the RIP output to the press.

4 Chapter 2 Initial setup and configuration ENWW


In addition to these processors, there is an overall system processor that holds all jobs in the system. For
example, jobs that have just been submitted and jobs that are complete are in the system processor.
● How processors work
● Configure processor behavior

How processors work


A job may go through one or more processors during its workflow.
Each processor maintains a queue of jobs awaiting processing.
The processor can be configured to:
● Automatically process all jobs in priority order. Jobs of the same priority are processed in the order in which
they arrive.
● Place all jobs arriving at the processor queue on hold. The Jobs must be manually released from hold in
order to be processed.
When a job moves to a particular processor, its job progress may change. For example, when a job moves into
the RIP processor queue, its progress changes to Waiting to RIP.
When the job reaches the top of the queue, it is processed. If processing generates an error, the job is placed in a
Needs attention status .

The pre-processing and post-processing behaviors are configurable. Processing behavior is set in the Workflow
> Processors section of the navigation pane on the System tab. The processor can be configured to:
● Automatically move jobs to the next step in the workflow. This is the default behavior.
● Place all processed jobs into an Awaiting review status. The user must manually intervene to approve or fail
the review. See Deal with jobs held for review on page 110.
If the job has been placed in an Awaiting review status, it must be manually approved and released. See Deal with
jobs held for review on page 110. Once released, the job moves to the next step in its workflow. If the processor
was the final step, the job's progress is set to complete.

Configure processor behavior


Configuring processor behavior allows you to fine-tune the way that jobs flow through HP Production Pro for
Indigo Labels & Packaging. You can:
● Configure how jobs flow into a processor.
● Configure how jobs flow to the next processor.

To configure how jobs flow through a processor:

1. In the Web client, select the System tab.


2. On the left navigation pane, expand the Workflow menu and select Processors.
3. All of the available processors are listed.
4. To edit a processor's hold behavior, right-click on the processor and select Edit.
5. Select one or more Processor options.

ENWW System processors 5


● Pause: Pause the processor entirely and jobs are not processed.
● Hold On Input: All jobs entering the processor's queue are put on hold. The jobs must be manually
released. This allows you to control the flow of jobs through the processor.
● Hold On Output: After processing, the job is placed in Awaiting review status. The job must be
manually approved or failed.
6. Click Save ( ) to confirm the changes or Cancel ( ) to undo them.
● Approving the job clears its Awaiting review status and allows it to proceed to the next workflow step.
● Failing the job changes its status to Needs Attention.

Control re-RIP with the RIP processor


You can use the RIP processor Hold On Output setting to make it easy to re-RIP jobs. When the RIP processor is
configured to hold for review:
● The RIP creates a press job and loads it onto the press.
● When RIPping finishes, the job status is set to Awaiting review.

If re-RIP is required:
1. In the job list, right-click on the job and select Fail Approval.
2. Correct the problem. For example, you may need to edit the Job Ticket.
3. Right-click the job and select Reprocess.

Add a press
1. Log into HP Production Pro for Indigo Labels & Packaging.

The Jobs Share


Overview
Since workflows involve multiple network components, HP Production Pro for Indigo Labels & Packaging
requires a file system location that can be accessed by users and by all the processes that need job assets. This
location is called the Jobs Share.
The Jobs Share is created during installation as a Windows folder with the Share name Jobs.
The Jobs Share can provide storage for:
● Hot folders.
● VDP image assets.

10 Chapter 2 Initial setup and configuration ENWW


● Folder Devices.
● OPI assets.
● Any other data that needs to be accessible to all systems in the HP Production Pro for Indigo Labels &
Packaging network. (For example, it is a convenient location for exporting and re-importing SNAP fonts, ICC
profiles, etc.)

NOTE: There can be multiple job shares and L&P Print Server NAS systems, but most installations need only
one. Assets can be stored in other locations on the network, but it is recommended that users keep assets
centralized to the Jobs Share.

Configure user access to the Jobs Share


When HP Production Pro for Indigo Labels & Packaging is installed, a shared folder is created. This folder and its
subfolders constitute the HP Production Pro for Indigo Labels & Packaging Jobs Share.
The Jobs Share must be available to all users who:
● Submit jobs using Hot Folders.
● Submit image assets that will be used by VDP jobs submitted using the Import dialog box.
● Perform administrative tasks such as creating Hot Folders, OPI search paths (in Ticket Templates), and
centralized error/success folders.
It is recommended that all users have access to the Jobs Share.

Jobs Share names and location

● If your system includes a L&P Print Server Network Attached Storage (NAS), the installation scripts will
place the Jobs Share in the L&P Print Server NAS file system.
● If your system does not include a L&P Print Server NAS, the Jobs Share is created in the file system of the
L&P Print Server System Manager. The default location is S:\jobs.
● The assigned share name is Jobs. This name should never be modified, since the system uses it to
automatically retrieve job assets.

To make the Jobs Share available to all users:

Jobs Share permissions can be set up on a per-user basis. This method simplifies the process by creating a user
group.
1. Use the Windows Computer Management tools to create a Group for all users who will need access to the
Jobs Share. Add those users to the group.
2. From the Windows File Manager, open the Properties window for the Jobs folder.
a. On the Sharing tab, click Permissions. Add the newly-created group and give it rights to Change.
b. On the Security tab, click Advanced Sharing and then click Permissions.
c. Add the newly-created group and give it rights to Modify.
3. On each user's Windows system, add a network place for the Jobs Share to make it easy for users to
browse to the Job Share and ensure that the proper UNC path gets used.
For example, the location might be “\\myNAS.mycompany.com\jobs\myfolder\myfile”.
4. On each user's Macintosh system, add a Favorite Server for the Jobs Share. This makes it easy for users to
connect to the Jobs Share, and it will ensure that the proper path gets used. In Finder, choose Go > Connect
to Server.... For users connecting to the Jobs Share using the Windows share name, specify a server

ENWW The Jobs Share 11


address such as "smb://myNAS.mycompany.com/Jobs/myfolder/myfile". Click the + button to add the
server address to the Favorite Servers list.

Configure workflows
Once your presses and L&P Print Server Press Controllers have been specified, you are ready to set up the
workflows for your Production Pro.

Setting up workflows consists of two main activities:

1. Creating Ticket Templates. A Ticket Template is a collection of Job Ticket settings that can be copied to a job
file. You can create an unlimited number of Ticket Templates.
2. Creating input methods and associating a Ticket Template to each. An input method is an ISV account,
and/or Hot Folder. When a job enters the system via an input method, the Ticket Template associated with
that input method automatically creates a Job Ticket for the job. The job is then processed according to its
Job Ticket settings.
Instructions for creating these elements are listed further in this chapter. But first, we will look at how these
Ticket Templates and input methods work together, as illustrated in the following example.
Example of a L&P Print Server Workflow
Suppose you have created a Hot Folder as your input method, and that you have associated a Ticket Template to
that Hot Folder. (Hot folders are folders that are configured to automatically process any job file dropped into
them.)
Suppose also that you have set up this Ticket Template to send press-ready files to a L&P Print Server Press
Controller for printing to an HP press. (L&P Print Server Press Controllers are separate, physical servers that store
press-ready jobs and feed these jobs to a press during printing.)
To test this, you drag-and-drop a PDF file into the Hot Folder you've created. The Ticket Template for that Hot
Folder automatically creates a Job Ticket for the job file. The job file, together with its Job Ticket and associated
files, becomes a job.
The job is then routed to the L&P Print Server RIP where it is assigned to a RIP engine for processing. The L&P
Print Server RIP converts the vector or raster image into a ready-to-print bitmap.
After the job file has been RIPped, it is sent to a L&P Print Server Press Controller where the job file inherits a
subset of the job settings, which are called Job Properties.
The L&P Print Server Press Controller feeds the job file to the HP press, and the job file is printed.

Overview of input methods


There are two general ways to submit jobs:
● Using the Import Job dialog box. The Import Job dialog box is an all-purpose method. It accepts any
supported file type, and provides places for entering information necessary to process the job.
● Using input methods.

12 Chapter 2 Initial setup and configuration ENWW


What is an input method?
An input method is a previously-configured way of submitting a job. There are two general types of input
methods:
● Hot folders. These are folders into which users can drop job files.
● Internet (ISV accounts). This method uses configured connections between HP Production Pro for Indigo
Labels & Packaging and external servers maintained by the customer.

Input methods and Ticket Templates


When an input method is created, it is assigned a Ticket Template. The Ticket Template contains information
about how to process the file. The Ticket Template information is copied into the job's Job Ticket when the job is
submitted.

Example of using input methods


HP Production Pro for Indigo Labels & Packaging contains a built-in Ticket Template named
HP_Indigo_LabelsAndPackaging. The HP_Indigo_LabelsAndPackaging Ticket Template is a collection of settings
useful for many four-color jobs. It contains a great deal of processing information, including:
● Basic workflow settings.
● Imposition.
● RIP color settings, such as ICC profiles, rendering intents, Esko Ink Books, Esko Color Strategies, and LUTs.
Suppose you would like to make it easy to assign the HP_Indigo_LabelsAndPackaging settings to new jobs. You
could:
● Create one or more Hot Folders that use the HP_Indigo_LabelsAndPackaging Ticket Template. Any job
submitted by dropping a job file into the Hot Folder(s) would have the HP_Indigo_LabelsAndPackaging
settings copied into the Job Ticket.
● Create one or more Internet input methods using the HP_Indigo_LabelsAndPackaging Ticket Template. The
assignment takes place when the name of the Internet input method (previously supplied to the ISV)
matches the name of the job specification in the incoming intent ticket.

Port 6000 Input Method


The Port 6000 Input Method accepts jobs downloaded to port 6000 on your Mac or PC workstation. This type of
submission can be performed with HP SmartStream Designer or custom applications. The Port 6000 input
method can be associated with any Ticket Template to apply custom settings to jobs that are submitted using
port 6000.

To edit the Port 6000 Input Method

1. In the Web client, select the System tab. On the left navigation panel, expand the Workflow menu and click
expand the Input Methods.
2. Right-click the Port6000 Input Method, and select Edit.
3. Select the Ticket Template that you want to associate to this Input Method and then click Save ( ).

NOTE: For a description of all Ticket Template settings, see Ticket Template and Job Ticket reference
on page 81.

2. On the left navigation pane, expand the Workflow menu and click Ticket Templates.
3. Select a Ticket Template to delete from the list.

14 Chapter 2 Initial setup and configuration ENWW


4. Click Delete .
5. A message displays confirming the deletion. Click OK to delete the selected Ticket Template.

Create an Input Method and Associate it with a Ticket Template


An input method is a way in which job files can be entered into the HP Production Pro L&P. Job files entered this
way automatically have their Job Ticket created for them, based on the particular Ticket Template you've
associated to that input method.

NOTE: You can manually assign a Ticket Template to a job file as well, by using the Import Job button on any
of the job lists of the Production tab.

There are three types of input methods that you can create:

● Hot Folder - These are folders into which you can drop job files. Hot folders can accept variable data (VDP)
jobs. (Variable data jobs allow you to customize the text, images or both for a print job. For example, a
thousand-copy run of a personalized marketing mailer with a different name and address on each copy is a
variable data job.)
● Internet Input Method - These are configured connections (ISV accounts) between the Production Pro and
your external servers. Internet input methods can accept variable data jobs.
● JDF Hot Folder - The Jobs Share is pre-installed with a special kind of Hot Folder, called a JDF Hot Folder.
This Hot Folder can be used to submit JDF tickets. For more information on the Jobs Share, see Overview
on page 10.
Now you can drag-and-drop job files into the Hot Folder. You can also use the file system Copy command and
Move command to enter job files into the Hot Folder.

Work with Hot Folders


Components of a Hot Folder

Before you start, determine which Ticket Template to attach to the Hot Folder. The settings in this Ticket
Template are acquired by all jobs submitted via this Hot Folder.
When you create a Hot Folder, you must specify four locations:
● The Hot Folder into which the job file is placed.

NOTE: Files can be placed in Hot Folders (and their sub-folders) by using drag-and-drop, the operating
system file Copy command, and the operating system file Move command.

● An Images folder used for the image assets for variable data jobs.
● A Database folder used for the database assets for variable data jobs.
● A Template folder used for the template asset for variable data jobs.

ENWW Work with Hot Folders 15


Behavior

Hot Folders can behave in different ways depending on the types of jobs they are intended to process. There are
three types of Hot Folder behavior:
● Default supports processing for static and variable data files.
● Batching combines multiple static files into a single job that contains multiple documents.
● Automated finishing supports the submittal of file pairs with matching names to be processed together. For
example, Job1.PDF and Job1.JDF files could be submitted together.
This behavior allows for the submittal of a PDF and an associated custom finishing template created with
another Imposition program to a single Hot Folder.

How copy counts are specified during Hot Folder job submission

● For static jobs, the copy count is derived from the Default copies field in the Ticket Template assigned to
that Hot Folder.
● For variable data jobs, the copy count may be embedded in the job file. If no copy count is present, the copy
count is set to 1.
● For previously archived JLYT files, the copy count is embedded in the file.

Create a Hot Folder

Follow these steps to create a new Hot Folder.

NOTE: Files can be placed in Hot Folders (and their sub-folders) by using drag-and-drop, the operating system
file Copy command, and the operating system file Move command.

1. In the Web client, select the System tab. On the left navigation panel, expand the Workflow menu, expand
the Input Methods menu, and then click Hot Folders.
2. On the right side of the menu bar, click New and select New Hot Folder.

3. The New Hot Folder dialog displays. Enter a name for the Hot Folder; a simple name, not a folder path.

NOTE: You cannot change the name of a Hot Folder once it is created.

4. Enter a description for the Hot Folder.


5. Select the Ticket Template that you want to associate to this Hot Folder.

NOTE: For a description of all Ticket Template settings, see Ticket Template and Job Ticket reference
on page 81.

6. Select a Behavior to associate with the Hot Folder. The following options are available:
● Default supports processing for static and variable data files.
● Batching combines multiple static files into a single job that contains multiple documents.
● Automated finishing supports the submittal of file pairs with matching names to be processed
together. For example, Job1.PDF and Job1.JDF files could be submitted together.
This behavior allows for the submittal of a PDF and an associated custom finishing template created
with another Imposition program to a single Hot Folder.
7. Configure the Folders, Settings, and Batching (if applicable) tabs as needed.

16 Chapter 2 Initial setup and configuration ENWW


Folders

a. Click the Folders tab. Several folders are created to store additional files for variable data jobs.
● Hot Folder: Contains the main document or documents to be printed. For a variable data job, all
necessary component files must be in place, below, before dropping the variable job file or the
database file in this Hot Folder.
● Images Folder: Contains any image asset needed by a variable data job.
● Ticket Template Folder: Contains any template (variable job) files needed by a variable data job.
The Ticket Template file must have the same name as the job file that is placed in the main Hot
Folder.
● Database Folder: Contains any database files needed by a variable data job.

NOTE: If Automated finishing is selected from the Behavior menu, only the Hot Folder location is
available for specification on the Folders tab. The other folder locations are not required as the JDF
paired with the submitted job file contains all necessary job specifications.

b. Specify a path for each of the folders, or select the default check box to accept the defaults:

Settings
Defining the Settings of a Hot Folder allows you determine what is done with the job files submitted to a
Hot Folder, after the job is processed, either successfully or unsuccessfully.
a. Click the Settings tab.
You can specify what should be done with the job files either On success or On error with respect to
the final press job. The options are as follows.
● Delete: Deletes the job files
● Send to default: ‘system common [Success/Error] folder’: Stores the job files in the default
Success or Failure folder, depending on outcome.
● Send to: Allows you to define a custom folder to archive job files, depending on the success or
failure of the job.
b. Specify Settings for both On success and On error.

NOTE: If a job is canceled, a copy of the original job file can be automatically saved to an Error folder.

Batching

If Batching is selected from the Behavior menu, the Batching tab displays in the New Hot Folder window.
It can be difficult to process many small jobs separately, and with a large number of jobs, the DFE cannot
process all the jobs at press speed. If you select Batching behavior for the Hot Folder, it takes separate job
files submitted to the Hot Folder and bundles them together as a single job. This results in only one job to
manage and only one job for the DFE to submit to the press.
Batching many small jobs into a single job allows groups of jobs to be managed across the DFE and press.
This decrease in the number of jobs allows you and the DFE to be more effective and efficient.

ENWW Work with Hot Folders 17


NOTE: Batched jobs can be accessed as individual documents when processed, which supports the
following functionality.
● Change the copy count via the Document Details dialog.
● Insert divider sheets between jobs to keep batched jobs separated in output.
● Use the Print Range functionality to print a specific document in a batch.

a. Click the Batching tab.


b. To enable Batching, click to select Enable batching of files.

NOTE: Batching supports PDF, JPEG, GIF, and single page TIFF files. Batching does not support EPS
or PS files.

If enabled, jobs in the folder are combined and processed as a single batched job.
c. Specify the number of combined files per batch in Maximum batch size field.
d. Specify the longest time between creating batches of any size in the Maximum wait time field.

NOTE: This setting specifies how long the system should wait before submitting a batch job. If the
number of job files submitted does not meet the Maximum batch size limit before the Maximum wait
time passes, the system submits the job files regardless.

e. Click Save to confirm all settings and close the Hot Folder window.

Manage Hot Folders

Hot Folders are managed from one place in the DFE. You cannot rename a Hot Folder once it is created, but you
can modify any other settings associated with the Hot Folder, copy existing Hot Folders to make new ones, and
also delete existing Hot Folders.
To access the Hot Folders collection in the Web client, select the System tab. On the left navigation panel,
expand the Workflows menu, expand the Input Methods menu, and then click Hot Folders.

JDF Hot Folder Input Method

The Jobs Share is pre-installed with a special kind of Hot Folder, called a JDF Hot Folder. This Hot Folder can be
used to submit JDF tickets. For information on the Jobs Share, see Overview on page 10.
JDF is an industry standard for electronic Job Ticketing. JDF Job Tickets must conform to HP's Integrated Digital
Printing Implementation Specification. HP Production Pro for Indigo Labels & Packaging uses a special JDF
processor to accept JDF Job Tickets through this Hot Folder.
Jobs submitted using the JDF Hot Folder acquire their Job Ticket settings from two sources:
● Parameters included in the incoming JDF ticket are copied to the matching HP Production Pro for Indigo
Labels & Packaging Job Ticket.
● Parameters that are not included in the incoming JDF ticket are supplied from a Ticket Template:
– If the JDF ticket includes a JobSpec assignment in the form:
<Comment Name="JobSpec">input_method_name</Comment>

then the Ticket Template associated with the specified Input Method is used.
– If the JDF ticket does not include this JobSpec assignment, then the Ticket Template associated with
the Input Method templateStaticDoc is used. This Input Method is installed with the system. Its
default Ticket Template assignment is HP_Indigo_LabelsAndPackaging.
The JDF Hot Folder can accept three types of files: a JDF Job Ticket (.jdf), a two-part Multipart MIME Job Package
(.mjd), and a three-part Multipart MIME Job Package (.mjm).

File Type File Suffix Purpose

JDF job ticket. .jdf A JDF standard xml job ticket with external
references to document or asset files.

Two-part Multipart MIME Job Package. .mjd A multipart MIME-encoded file includes at
least two parts. The first part is the JDF job
ticket. The remaining parts are document or
asset files for the job (such as the .pdf
document to be printed.)

Three-part Multipart MIME Job Package .mjm A multipart MIME-encoded file includes at
least three parts. The first part is a
SubmitQueueEnty JMF command which
includes job submission parameters. The
second part is the JDF job ticket. The
remaining parts are document or asset files
for the job (such as the .pdf document to be
printed.)

Job Tickets that cannot be processed are moved to an errors subfolder. Error information is written to the job file
logs\jdfHotFolderError.log in the Jobs Share. For information on the Jobs Share, see Overview on page 10.
If you are a software developer and wish to programmatically create JDF tickets for HP Production Pro L&P, HP
has a JDF software developer kit available from the HP Solution Programs Portal
(http://www.hpdevelopersolutions.com).

Set default locations for Hot Folders

To view the default Hot Folder location, select the System tab, expand the Workflow menu and click
System Settings. The default location for Hot Folders is shown in the Web client. This setting is part of the

ENWW Work with Hot Folders 19


initial configuration of the software, and cannot be modified. However, the New Hot Folder dialog box
allows you to override the default location.

Create and edit Internet input methods


Incoming jobs from an Internet Service Vendor (ISV) will use the settings in this Ticket Template when the Internet
Input Method name matches the job specification in their Intent Tickets. VDP jobs submitted via the ISV interface
must include an Intent Ticket. An Intent Ticket contains the file names and locations of any VDP job components.
When the Job Ticket is processed, the components are downloaded and automatically processed. When
processing is finished, the job is loaded and ready to print.
Once an Internet input method is in use, be very careful about deleting it. Always communicate with the ISV first.
Unexpectedly deleting an Internet input method can cause incoming ISV jobs to fail.
Before you start, determine which Ticket Template to attach to the Internet input method. Incoming jobs from
any ISV will use the settings in this Ticket Template when the Internet input method name matches the job
specification in their intent tickets.
1. In the Web client, select the System tab. On the left navigation panel, expand the Workflow menu, expand
the Input Methods menu, and then click Internet Input Methods.
2. On the right side of the menu bar, click New .

3. Enter a name for the Internet Input Method. This is the name that is to be matched to the Intent Ticket job
specification.

NOTE: You cannot change the name of an Internet Input Method once it is created.

Using UNC network paths


Because HP Production Pro for Indigo Labels & Packaging is composed of multiple networked systems, it
requires a way to specify locations that can be resolved across the network. Drive letter file paths, such as D:
\myfolder\myfile, cannot be used because each system has its own mapping for drive letters.
When HP Production Pro for Indigo Labels & Packaging needs a common location across the network, it requires
that you enter the location in UNC format.
The syntax for UNC format for a path is:
\\computername\sharename\path\filename

computername The name of the remote system on which the file or folder is located.

If all systems are within a single domain, you can use a simple hostname - for example,
mymainserver.

If your system includes multiple domains, you must use a fully-qualified hostname - for
example, mymainserver.essexprinting.cv.com.

sharename Typically, this Share name is given to a folder when it is shared using the folder properties
dialog box.

Examples:
● \\MyStorageUnit\Jobs\myhotfolder
● \\ImageServer123.essexprinting.cv.com\JPEGS\myphoto.jpg
In general, UNC paths are required when the file or folder must be found by both the HP Production Pro L&P
System Manager and the RIP servers. This includes:
● Paths to Hot Folders and their supporting folders: Images folder, Database folder, Template folder, On
success folder, On error folder.
● File name locations entered in the Import Job dialog box.
● Image asset locations entered in the Specify Asset Locations dialog box.
● OPI search paths entered in Job Tickets and Ticket Templates.

ENWW Using UNC network paths 21


Configuration backup/restore
The backup/restore tool allows you to save and retrieve HP Production Pro for Indigo Labels & Packaging
configurations, including:
● Input methods, Ticket Templates, and ISV accounts.
● RIP configurations that are managed by the HP Production Pro for Indigo Labels & Packaging and stored in
its database (colorants, ICC profiles, LUTS, impositions, and RIP Fonts).
● System settings.
● User accounts, user preferences, and View options.
The backup/restore tool does NOT handle:
● HP Production Pro for Indigo Labels & Packaging: RIP configurations stored on local and remote RIP
systems.
● Jobs and job assets.
– Jobs and job assets remain intact when the restore tool is run. However, job cleanup may occur.
Furthermore, if the restoration is done because of a serious system malfunction, there is a possibility
that job data could be lost.
● Press configurations. Press configuration can be backed up using:
– The press software (click Press Configuration in the Options menu) or use the press backup tool
(HP Indigo Press Backup) to backup everything drive partitions to DVD.
– The press backup tool (HP Indigo Press Backup).

To run the backup tool

1. Open a Microsoft Windows Command Prompt Window.


2. Use the cd command to switch to the folder prodflow\tools\BackupRestore
3. Run the command:
backup [-nofonts] [-all] [folder_path]

where -nofonts prevents RIP fonts and SNAP fonts from being included in the backup, -all includes the RIP
fonts and SNAP fonts in the backup, and folder_path is the destination folder for the backup file. If you omit
the folder_path, the file will be saved in the s:\Jobs\Backup folder.

4. The configuration will be saved in a file using the naming convention:


backup<timestamp>.bk (for example, backup2005-06-09-113816.bk)

A backup log with the naming convention:


Backup<timestamp>.err (for example, backup2005-06-09-113816.err)

is also created.

To run the restore tool

1. Close HP Production Pro for Indigo Labels & Packaging.


2. Open a Microsoft Windows Command Prompt Window and switch (cd) to the folder containing the backup
file.

22 Chapter 2 Initial setup and configuration ENWW


3. Run the command:
restore backup_file <component_number>

where component number is an integer that defines which data you want to restore.

NOTE: To view a list of all components and their corresponding component numbers, type: restore
help and press Enter

The restore command will:


● Do an automatic backup of the current configuration prior to doing the restore.
● Restore the specified data.
● Create a restore log.
4. Restart HP Production Pro for Indigo Labels & Packaging and the RIP systems.

Deal with RIP synchronization issues


RIP synchronization issues can occur because:
● HP Production Pro for Indigo Labels & Packaging maintains a master copy of RIP settings (colorants, ICC
profiles, LUTs, and impositions).
● Each RIP system has a copy of the RIP settings.
● The backup/restore utility does not directly back up RIP configurations stored on local and remote RIP
systems.
In most situations, the RIP system settings will be identical to the HP Production Pro for Indigo Labels &
Packaging settings because they are synchronized. However, there are situations where the HP Production Pro
for Indigo Labels & Packaging and RIP system settings can get out of sync.
When HP Production Pro for Indigo Labels & Packaging is returned to a backed up configuration, any new RIPs
that were added since the backup will be found when HP Production Pro for Indigo Labels & Packaging is started.
If any RIP systems and or RIP configurations were deleted after the backup was created, these will be restored.
However, if any individual RIP systems were modified after the backup was created, restoring that backup will
cause HP Production Pro for Indigo Labels & Packaging and RIPs to be out of synchronization.

A synchronization scenario
The following scenario illustrates a situation in which HP Production Pro for Indigo Labels & Packaging and
individual RIPs may lose synchronization.
1. You add a new imposition named Imposition_A to HP Production Pro for Indigo Labels & Packaging. It is a
4_up_step simplex imposition.
2. You restart HP Production Pro for Indigo Labels & Packaging. This synchronizes the RIP settings, so that the
RIPs now know about the 4_up_step simplex imposition.
3. You then perform a backup.
4. You modify Imposition_A, changing it to a 4_up_step duplex imposition.
5. Due to a system problem, you perform a restore operation for RIP settings.
HP Production Pro for Indigo Labels & Packaging does not perform a synchronization after the restore. Thus, HP
Production Pro for Indigo Labels & Packaging now shows Imposition_A as 4_up_step simplex, whereas the RIPs
process Imposition_A as 4_up_step duplex.

ENWW Configuration backup/restore 23


Handle synchronization issues
To fix a RIP synchronization, restart the RIP systems. When the RIPs are restarted, the Production RIP Manager
will perform the synchronization.

Configure networking on a Mac OS client


The HP Production Pro for Indigo Labels & Packaging Installer configures file sharing on the HP Production Pro
L&P System Manager to allow file access and transfer within the system. The Installer configures a Windows
share name for the Jobs share to which current versions of OS X can connect.
For job submittal, on each user's Macintosh system a Favorite Server can be added for the Jobs shares. This
makes it easy for users to connect to a Jobs share, and it ensures that the proper path gets used. In Finder,
choose Go > Connect to Server.... For users connecting to the Jobs Share using the Windows share name, specify
a server address such as "smb://myNAS.mycompany.com/Jobs/myfolder/myfile". Click the + button to add the
server address to the Favorite Servers list.
Where the HP Production Pro for Indigo Labels & Packaging requests a UNC path from the user, the Mac user
must type a path in the form of "\\myNAS.mycompany.com\Jobs\myfolder\myfile".

Enable Streaming
When enabled, streaming allows jobs to concurrently load and print, allowing the jobs to be printed more quickly.
Jobs will not be streamed if any of the following conditions are true:
● The job is a static, non-partitioned job.
● The system setting of First In, First Out (FIFO) is enabled.
● The iPC is in a throttled state.
● The job uses an unsupported imposition or EPM (CMY+K).
The supported and unsupported imposition templates for streaming are:

Template Streaming

1_up Step and Repeat Supported

NOTE: Any of these imposition templates will support streaming for optimized PDF jobs if you select the
Distribute option on the Imposition tab of the Job Ticket or Job Properties.

If you enable streaming and a particular job cannot be streamed, that job will be processed in the conventional
manner of RIP, then load, then print. The user can drag and drop the job from the Press Controller to the Print-
Link press during load/RIP even if streaming was not set for the job in the job ticket.

ENWW Workflow 49
Imposition Templates
Imposition is the positioning of pages on a spread. The imposition for a Job is specified in its Job Ticket. The initial
setting is acquired from the Ticket Template when the Job is submitted.
Impositions are .impp or .srt files. The DFE includes one imposition template by default or you can create these
files in HP SmartStream Designer. When you import an imposition template, HP Production Pro for Indigo Labels
& Packaging determines if the template contains settings that are only compatible as a pre-RIP imposition
template. Otherwise, the template is loaded as a post-RIP imposition template.
● post-RIP: If you select a post-RIP imposition template, the imposition settings are applied when the job is
printed. This allows imposition settings to be changed in the Ticket Template or job properties anytime
before printing begins.
● pre-RIP: If you select a pre-RIP imposition template, the imposition settings are applied before the job is
RIPped. This allows the use of additional imposition settings available with HP SmartStream Designer, but
you cannot edit the imposition settings in the Ticket Template after the job is RIPped.
There are some limitations to what the DFE can support via pre-RIP imposition templates.

pre-RIP will support:

– PDF with or without metadata


– PDF VT with or without metadata

pre-RIP will not support:

– Sluglines
– Impositions with Multiple Layouts which consist of different page sizes regardless of whether the PDF
file has the same page sizes or not
– Multi-asset RunList that contains JDF tags ‘EndOfDocument’ or ‘DocCopies’
– Multiple entries in the JDF RunList (only single element RunLists are supported)

pre-RIP will ignore:

– JDF RunList attribute ‘NPage’


You can add or delete impositions using the Imposition Templates screen on the System tab.

Import an Imposition Template

1. In the Web client, select the System tab. On the left navigation pane, expand the Workflow menu, and then
click Imposition Templates.
2. Click Import and browse to the location of the imposition (.srt, .imp, or .impp) file you want to add.
3. Click Open.

NOTE: Imposition template files (.srt, .imp, or .impp) may not be added from the content store (the
directory in which they already reside), since this would result in a circular add/replace.

ICC Profiles
An ICC profile is a cross-platform file definition based on the specifications of the International Color Consortium.
It describes transforms between a device's color space and the CIELab (or XYZ) color space, an internationally
recognized device-independent color model.

ENWW Resources 57
Colors display differently on different devices. ICC profiles are used to transform from one device's color space
into CIELab and then into another device's color space. The object is to print color as true as possible to the
specified color and intent.
● An input profile is used to convert from the color space described in a print document into CIELab (or
directly into the press CMYK color space for device link profiles).
● An output profile describes the print device or a standard and is used to convert from CIELab into CMYK,
prior to sending to the Color Engine for further color management as configured in the Color Strategy.
You can set ICC profiles for a job on the Color section of the Job Ticket or Ticket Template. These profiles can be
viewed, added, or deleted using the Resources > ICC Profiles section of the System tab.

SNAP Fonts
A SNAP (Swift Native Accelerated Personalization) font is a rasterized version of a particular font that has been
RIPped in a particular size, with a particular character set and kerning applied. Additional sizes of any given font
can be created, but in order to change the kerning or character set for a given font, you must delete those SNAP
fonts and recreate them with different attributes. SNAP fonts are used for variable text in VDP jobs.
SNAP fonts are stored on the Press Controller. Each Press Controller maintains its own list of SNAP fonts. Some
SNAP fonts are installed with the Press Controller software and cannot be deleted. These "built-in" fonts have a
padlock icon next to them in the Snap Fonts list.
● Print Link presses - The SNAP fonts reside entirely on the Press Controller. All VDP text processing is done
on the Press Controller.
The SNAP Fonts screen allows you to manage all the SNAP (Swift Native Accelerated Personalization) fonts
available on a Press Controller. From this dialog, you can create new SNAP fonts, export fonts, and import
previously-created SNAP fonts.
To open this dialog box, click SNAP Fonts in the Resource menu to display a list of Press Controllers. Select the
Press Controller.
Table 4-13 The SNAP Fonts settings

Export Opens an Export dialog box to specify the location for the exported
SNAP font(s). All the existing sizes of the font are saved in a single

Delete Deletes the font in all sizes shown in the "Font Sizes" column for the
selected row(s). When you delete a SNAP font, any jobs that rely on
that font and size will be deleted as well. If any such jobs are in the
system, you will be prompted whether to confirm the delete of the
SNAP fonts and job(s) or to abort the delete.

New Opens the Add Font dialog box for creating new SNAP fonts on the
Press Controller.

Import Opens an Import dialog box that is used to browse for a previously
exported SNAP font (JLYT file).

Name Lists the SNAP fonts available on the Press Controller.

Font sizes Lists the font sizes available for the SNAP Font. There are 35 built-
in fonts in sizes: 6, 8, 9, 11, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 28, 36, 48,
and 72 points.

Character Set Indicates which character set is being used with this SNAP Font.
There are five options: 7-bit ASCII, Windows, Standard, Right-To-
Left and Central European.

Kerning Indicates which SNAP Fonts have kerning applied.

Modified The timestamp when the SNAP Font was last added or modified.

Add a SNAP font to a Press Controller:

When an HP Production Pro L&P RIP job contains SNAP fonts, the SNAP Font Manager checks to see if the
requested font exists in its SNAP fonts library. If a particular SNAP font does not yet exist, the SNAP Font
Manager creates the new SNAP font, in the particular point size and with the name of the RIP font, and stores
this new SNAP font in its library. This speeds future jobs containing the same SNAP font, since the new font will
not have to be RIPped again. In this way, SNAP Font Manager "learns as it goes", creating new SNAP fonts in
specific point sizes, automatically.

ENWW Resources 63
NOTE: SNAP fonts that are auto-created by SNAP Font Manager will use the same character set and kerning as
existing SNAP fonts with the same font name. If an existing font does not yet exist in the SNAP Font Manager,
then the auto-created SNAP font will use default values of the Windows character set and kerning. If this is
undesirable, you must manually create at least one size of the font in SNAP Font Manager. Then, any future
auto-created fonts with that font name will take on the same attributes as the font you manually created.

1. In the Web client, select the System tab and expand the Resources menu on the left navigation pane.
Expand the SNAP Fonts menu and select the press controller you want to add the SNAP Font to.
2. Click New to open the Add SNAP Fonts dialog.

3. Select the desired font from the Select Font list.

NOTE: If a desired font is not available, install that font using the Production RIP Manager before creating
the SNAP font.

4. Type the Font sizes as a comma-separated list of point sizes; or accept the default size list.

NOTE: No more than 16 comma-separated sizes are allowed, and no size above 400 points is allowed.

5. Select the appropriate Character set, and check Apply kerning if you want kerning applied to the SNAP font.
6. Click OK. The Adding Fonts message window appears, displaying the progress as the SNAP font is RIPped
and installed on the Production Pro L&P Press Controller.

To export or "back up" a SNAP font from a Press Controller:

Exporting a SNAP font from a Press Controller saves it to the file system as a JLYT file and a metadata file. These
files can later be imported back to the same Press Controller or to another Press Controller. By exporting and
importing SNAP fonts this way, you can transfer SNAP fonts between HP Production Pro L&P Press Controllers
without using RIP resources.
1. In the Web client, select the System tab and expand the Resources menu on the left navigation pane.
Expand the SNAP Fonts menu and select the name of the appropriate Press Controller.

2. Click Export . A zip file containing all of the SNAP Fonts for the selected press controller is immediately
downloaded from the Web client.
The SNAP font zip file contains one or more JLYT (.jlt) and one or more metadata files (.dat). Both of these
files must be present to later import the SNAP font.

To import or "restore" a SNAP font into a Press Controller:

If a SNAP font has been previously created on one Press Controller, it does not necessarily need to be recreated
on all other Press Controllers. Instead, it can be exported from the original Press Controller and then be imported
to as many other Press Controllers as necessary.
1. In the Web client, select the System tab and expand the Resources menu on the left navigation pane.
Expand the SNAP Fonts menu and select the name of the appropriate Press Controller.
2. Click Import . The Import Snap font dialog displays.

3. There must be at least one .jlt File and one .dat File in order to complete the import. Click Browse to
search for each of these files.
4. Once the path for both of the files has been identified, click Done to restore the font(s).

64 Chapter 4 System ENWW


NOTE: You cannot import or restore a SNAP font file that has the same font name and font size as an
existing font on a Press Controller. If you attempt this, you will see an error message saying that certain
SNAP font files failed to Import. However, all other font files that did not have duplicate SNAP font
problems will Import correctly. Note also that reformatting image memory does not remove SNAP fonts.

order to process the job, you must:
1. Modify the Job Ticket to specify a new destination.
2. Reprocess the job.

Press Groups
When you create a press group, it appears as a destination option in the Job Ticket and Ticket Template.
Press groups provide a mechanism for load-balancing. When the job is ready to be RIPped, the system uses a
load-balancing algorithm to select the press to which the press job will be routed when it is created.
There is no actual storage associated with a press group. When a job is sent to a press group, it is immediately
assigned to one of its members. Press groups are used only for post-RIP load balancing.
A press can be a member of multiple press groups.
This screen is used to add and manage Presses. It can be accessed by selecting the System tab, expanding the

● Next Available. This method distributes the press jobs in a


simple sequence: press1, press2, press3, press1, press2,
press3, etc. If a press is unavailable, it is skipped.

● Least busy: The job is assigned to the press with lowest


amount of printing activity in the print queue. The amount of
printing activity is computed by calculating the number of
impressions required to print each job:

number of spreads x number of copies x number of


separations x 2 (if duplex)

Press group members Lists the presses that are in the group.

Available presses Lists the presses that can be added to the group. An asterisk
indicates that the press is already a member of a group. A press can

5 Ticket Template and Job Ticket reference

● Overview of Ticket Templates and Job Tickets


● Ticket Template and Job Ticket settings

Overview of Ticket Templates and Job Tickets


Each job in the system has a Job Ticket. The Job Ticket describes:
● The destination for the press job created by the RIP - a press, Press Controller, press group, or Folder
Device.
● General information about the job, such as due date and quantity.
● Information needed by the RIP, such as color settings and page size.
● Imposition settings
● Information that will be passed on to the press properties, such as the substrate.
● Additional ordering information.
● A job log that records the processing that has been done on the job.
If the job has been printed, the Job Ticket can be displayed but not edited. To edit the Job Ticket for a job, it must
be resubmitted.

Ticket Templates
An input method is a way of getting a job into the system, such as a particular Hot Folder. Each input method is
associated with a Ticket Template. You can think of a Ticket Template as a set of defaults on how the job will be
processed.

When a job is submitted:

1. A Job Ticket is created for the job.


2. A Ticket Template is copied into the new Job Ticket.
● If the job is submitted via a previously configured job input method (Hot Folder, Port 6000, or ISV), the
input method has an assigned Ticket Template.
JDF jobs submitted via the JDF folder are assigned a Ticket Template, but the JDF Job Ticket
embedded in the job can modify the Ticket Template settings.
● If the job is submitted using the import dialog box, the user selects the template from a list of existing
templates.
3. The information in the Job Ticket can now be edited on a per-job basis.
Ticket Templates are created and managed using the Web client. If you use specific settings repeatedly, it might
be helpful to create a Ticket Template and input method to automatically apply these settings to new jobs.

ENWW Overview of Ticket Templates and Job Tickets 81


To view or modify a Ticket Template:

1. In the Web client, select the System tab and expand the Workflow menu in the left navigation pane. Click
Ticket Templates.
2. Choose Ticket Templates from the Resource menu.
3. Select an existing ticket template and click Edit . To create a new ticket template, select an existing
template and click Duplicate and then edit the copy.

NOTE: Ticket Templates with the padlock symbol are default templates included with the system that
cannot be edited. Duplicate a Ticket Template and edit the copy instead.

Job Tickets
When a Job Ticket is initially created, most of its settings can be modified. As a job is processed, however, various
settings become inactive after they are "consumed" by the processors. For example, once the job file for a job is
RIPped, settings in the Job Ticket that specify RIP parameters (page, separations, and color management ) are
grayed out.
To ensure that you can change Job Tickets before they RIP, you can place a hold on new jobs as they enter the
system.
If the job is locked, the Job Ticket can be displayed but not edited.
To view the Job Ticket settings for a job, select the job on the Production tab and click Properties .

To print the information in the Job Ticket:

1. On the Production tab, right-click on a job and select Printable Ticket.


2. This opens a window of your default Web browser, containing the information in the Job Ticket.
3. Use the browser's printing capabilities to print the information.

Workflow
Destination

● Press: Routes the press job to the selected press.


● Press Group: Select a press group that has been created in the Manage Devices dialog box. The press job
will be assigned to a member of that group prior to RIPping.
● Press Controller: You can specify a Press Controller as the press job destination. This is useful when you
want a workflow that:
– Delays making a press assignment until after the press job has been created. The press job will not be
visible on any press.
– Keeps the job in the system (as opposed to Folder Devices, which export the press job to a file).
– Does not allow the press operator to see or modify the job right away.
When you route a press job to a Press Controller:
– It cannot be seen or modified by the press operator.
– You can view the job in either of these places:
○ In the Press Controller view.
This view is useful if you want to view all the jobs on a single Press Controller in one large list.
○ In the Press Controller Jobs list of the press view.
For example, if the Press Controller is mapped to pressABC, the job will appear in the press view
of pressABC.
This view is useful if you want to move the job to the Held (Loaded) Jobs list or Print Queue of
that press.
– It is RIPped to be compatible with the ICF format of the Press Controller.
The Job Ticket allows you to specify the destination for press jobs. You can assign RIPped press jobs to
specific Press Controllers or presses.
● Folder Device: Select a folder device that has been created in the Manage Devices dialog box. The RIP
output will be saved directly to a file in this folder.

Place Job In Select the behavior of the job when it is loaded onto the press. It
can be placed in the Held Job List or directly into the Print Queue.

Retain job on press Determine what should happen to the job on the press After all
pages are printed:

● On press for: Retains the press job for a specified amount of


time. At the end of the specified time, the press job is deleted.
To check the jobs that are currently retained, check the
Retained Job List.

84 Chapter 5 Ticket Template and Job Ticket reference ENWW


● Retain press job indefinitely: Retains the press job on the
press after the printing is complete until you manually delete
it.

● Delete the job: Removes the press job as soon as it is printed.

Build LUT for Separation

Dot Area (DA) of 50% Select a new DA value by typing a number in the accompanying
field or by moving the sliding bar to the desired position. The graph
is updated with a new curve that is appropriate for the selected
value, and the list is updated with the new points in the curve. A
negative value displays below the diagonal line in the graph, and a
positive value displays above it.

Dot area is the percentage of an area covered by a halftone dot,


ranging from 1% to 99%. The size of the dots is stated in
percentage of the area occupied. This setting determines what the
dot area will be at the 50% mark on the LUT graph.

Optical density adjustment of 100% Select a new optical density (OD) value by typing a number in the
accompanying field or by moving the sliding bar to the desired
position. You can only select a value that is within the tolerance
range.

OD is a measure of the relative difference between a white area and


a toned or black area. It is inversely proportional to the amount of
light reflected or transmitted through the sample.

Color Correction

Contrast Type a new value or use the sliding bar to adjust the image contrast
plus or minus 15% for the selected LUT. Changes to the contrast
affect all LUT values and the LUT curve. After you change the
contrast for a LUT, a new contrast baseline is established;
therefore, the contrast value will always reset to 0 if you attempt to
adjust the contrast again at a later time.

NOTE: The Contrast control is only active if the job has at least
CMY or CMYK separations marked for printing on the Separations
page.

Brightness Type a new value or use the sliding bar to adjust the image
brightness plus or minus 25% for the selected LUT. Changes to the
brightness affect all LUT values and the LUT curve. After you
change the brightness for a LUT, a new brightness baseline is
established; therefore, the brightness value will always reset to 0 if
you attempt to adjust the brightness again at a later time.

NOTE: The Brightness control is only active if the job has at least
CMY or CMYK separations marked for printing on the Separations
page.

Color Options

Ticket. When this box is checked, the Job Ticket settings will
override the PDF/X requirements and the Output Intents ICC profile
in the job will be ignored.

Use blackpoint compensation Causes the RIP color management engine to normalize the black
points of the input and output profiles, mapping input black to
output black. This typically only significantly affects Relative
Colorimetric rendering intent. This is useful for color management
of RGB content as well as Matte and uncoated media. In these
cases, the press output black can be lighter than the input black.
With the relative colorimetric intent, the black point is preserved
causing the dark shadows and near blacks to block up when the
input is darker than the output can reproduce. Black Point
compensation scales the lightness of the images to normalize the
black points to eliminate this effect.

Indigo overprint Chooses how to print overlapping colors in a layered job. Select Yes
to blend the layers using nonzero overprint. Select No to overwrite
lower layers with the top color layer. If the pixel value of the top
separation is 0, the lower layer value is retained.

Default rendering intent This rendering intent is used for an object that has no rendering
intent specified in the job and the Color space settings do not force
a specific rendering intent.

● Perceptual - best for good reproduction of RGB and Gray color


spaces. Generally, it is not useful for CMYK color spaces.

● Relative Colorimetric - best for proofing or accurate color


reproduction of CMYK colors. If this intent is used for RGB
content or with non-gloss media, Blackpoint compensation
may be desired.

● Absolute Colorimetric - similar to relative colorimetric except


that color can be added to "white" areas to simulate the
media color defined in the input profile.

● Saturation - intended to be used for colorful business


graphics where accuracy is not as important as color
saturation.

Overprint

Enable nonzero overprint by default Enables nonzero overprint by default which allows only the
separations with color tints to replace the colors beneath them
when the object is set to overprint. Any 0 color value leaves
whatever was already there in that separation. Embedded
commands in the job can override this default.

For nonzero overprint, don't drop white objects Prevents white objects (CMYK 0,0,0,0) from being dropped when
printed with nonzero overprint.

For nonzero overprint, treat DeviceGray as CMYK Causes the RIP to overprint DeviceGray as if it were a CMYK color
with nonzero tint only for black.

Overprint 100% black text and graphics Forces any text or graphics object with pure CMYK black
(CMYK=0,0,0,100%) to overprint 100% black ink over the previous
CMY planes regardless of the overprint property of the object
painted with that color.

94 Chapter 5 Ticket Template and Job Ticket reference ENWW


High resolution images

Resample high resolution images PDF images can be saved at a higher resolution than the press can
print. For example, when the size of a high resolution image is
decreased, it creates an image with a large number of dots per inch
(DPI). Jobs with high resolution images take longer to RIP.

To improve the RIP performance and resample the image, select


the Resample high resolution images check box.

RGB

Use embedded RGB input profile Processes the job using the embedded RGB profile.

Default RGB input profile Sets the default input profile for all the job's Device RGB (untagged
RGB) data. The HP Production RIP converts Device RGB colors
through the transform in the RGB profile to device-independent
color, then re-separates the colors into CMYK for the press using
the current press output profile and rendering intent. If the input
profile is a device link profile, the profile is used to convert directly
to press output CMYK without using the press output profile or
rendering intents.

What is a job?
In HP Production Pro for Indigo Labels & Packaging, a job is the primary representation of an item that needs to
be printed.
A job is generated when:
● A job file is submitted via a Hot Folder or the Import Job dialog box.
● An ISV (Internet) account polls a "registered" server and receives an intent ticket.
Once a job is created, it remains in the system until it is deleted. The jobs list is a comprehensive list of all the
jobs in the system.

104 Chapter 6 Manage jobs ENWW


other assets

Job
Job Log
File

Order form

You can think of a job as a container for all the elements required to process and print the item. This includes:
● The job file (document) that was submitted.
● Any additional assets required, such as images or database files for variable data jobs.
● A Job Ticket. The Job Ticket is created when the job is created. It contains information needed to process
the job.
● Workflow and processing instructions. HP Production Pro for Indigo Labels & Packaging automatically
assigns an appropriate workflow to each job. The workflow ensures that the submitted job file is properly
processed and sent to the press.
● Status and progress information. As the job is processed, the system monitors where it is in its workflow
and whether or not it is proceeding properly. Each job has a job log.

The relationship between a job and its press job(s)


While HP Production Pro for Indigo Labels & Packaging tracks jobs throughout the workflow from submission to
the press, the press itself consumes press jobs.
In the most common workflow, a press job is created when a job's job file is RIPped. The press job has its own set
of properties that control how the job is printed.
HP Production Pro for Indigo Labels & Packaging maintains a connection between the job and its associated
press job(s).
● Certain changes to the status/state of the press job are reflected in the job progress.
● Deleting a job deletes its press job. Deleting a press job can delete the job or change its status.
● The job Status panel provides a way to quickly navigate between the job and the press job in the user
interface.

Workflow of jobs
When a job is submitted, it initiates a workflow that ultimately results in a press job being created and printed.
These are the workflow steps:
1. A job file is submitted via a Hot Folder, or ISV account (Internet), or by using the Import Job dialog box. It
becomes associated with a Ticket Template.

ENWW Workflow of jobs 105


● Each Hot Folder, and Internet submission method has a Ticket Template assigned to it.
● The Import Job dialog box requires the user to select a Ticket Template.
● The Ticket Template contains processing and printing information, such as color settings, imposition
instructions, and workflow instructions.
● The Ticket Template also specifies the destination of the press job - a press, press group, Press
Controller, or Folder Device.
2. A job is created and placed in the jobs list. The content of the Ticket Template is copied into the job's Job
Ticket. The Job Ticket accompanies the job through its workflow.
3. Depending on the type of job, the job may go through a series of processors that prepare it for the RIP.
4. The job flows to the RIP processor, which handles sending jobs to the Production RIP Manager.
5. The Production RIP Manager assigns the job to an appropriate RIP group and queues the job to RIP.
6. The output from the RIP engine streams to the destination specified in the Job Ticket. Printing-related
information in the Job Ticket is transferred to the press job's job properties.
If the destination is a Print Link press, the actual press job file is loaded onto the Press Controller for that
press.
7. When a press job has been printed, it can be manually set to printing done on some presses. There is also a
system setting automatically report back to the job that the press job has printed full run.
8. The press job's printing done state is communicated to the job, which is allowed to proceed to the next step
in its workflow, usually complete.
9. When the job information is no longer needed, it can be deleted from the jobs list. The system can be set
up to automatically delete completed jobs.

Job names and IDs


Every job in the system is identified by:
● A job name. Duplicate job names are allowed.
● An internal ID. This is a unique identifier provided by the system. It cannot be modified.

How jobs are named


The default job name depends on how the job was submitted. The maximum length of the job name is 210
characters.

Submission method Default job name

Hot folder File name without the extension.

Import dialog box File name. The job name can be changed in the Import dialog box.

Networked printer File name without the extension.

Internet Defined in the intent ticket.

106 Chapter 6 Manage jobs ENWW


Certain file types name jobs differently:
● .csv or .txt database files use the database filename.
● .jlyt files use the job name in the jlyt template.

Rename jobs
Once a job is submitted, its name can be modified in the Job Ticket. The Import Job dialog box lets you type a
name of your choice.

To rename a job:

1. Open the Job Ticket for the job. The Job Ticket opens to the General page.
2. Enter a new Job Name.
3. Click Save Changes.

ISV jobs
In addition to a job name and ID, ISV jobs may be identified by a Customer job name and an External job ID. These
are defined in the job's intent ticket, and copied into the General tab of the Job Ticket. They cannot be modified.

Job status
A job's status indicates whether or not it requires attention before it can continue processing. It provides
information about the condition of the job. job status states are: normal, needs attention, held, awaiting review,
canceling, canceled, and complete.
Job status is indicated by the job icon. See Job Status icons on page 37 for descriptions of the job status icons.

Job priority
The priority setting provides user control over how a particular job is handled during the automated workflow.
There are four priority settings for jobs: rush, high, medium, and low. Rush is the highest priority.

Initial priority
Every job has a priority. This information is displayed on its Job Ticket and is carried through to the press. When a
job is submitted, it is assigned an initial priority based on its input method.
The initial job priority setting can be changed, e.g. JDF job settings can override the value in an assigned Ticket
Template.

Job input method How the priority is set

Hot folder The Ticket Template assigned to the Hot Folder.

Import dialog box Set explicitly in the Import Job dialog box.

Networked printer The Ticket Template assigned to the networked printer.

Internet The Ticket Template assigned to the ISV input method.

ENWW Job status 107


How priority affects jobs
Jobs with higher priority are processed before jobs with lower priority. When jobs have the same priority, those
submitted earlier are processed first. This behavior applies to all the processor queues, including the RIP.
A job that is already processing is not interrupted, even if a higher priority job enters the system.
The Production Queue lists jobs in overall processing order.

Change job priority


job priority can be changed:
● In the Ticket Template, where it provides an initial value for all the jobs that use that template.
● In the Job Ticket, where it is applied to that job only.

To change the priority of a job:

1. Open the Job Ticket for the job.


2. On the General page, select a new job priority from the Priority drop-down list.
3. Click Save Changes.

To change priority in a Ticket Template:

1. In the Web client, select the System tab, expand the Workflow menu on the left navigation pane, and click
Ticket Templates.
2. Select an editable ticket template and click Edit
3. On the General page, select a new job priority from the Priority drop-down list.
4. Click Save Changes.

Monitor job progress


The job progress state provides information about where a job is in its workflow. The Progress column of the
jobs list gives the job's progress state.
See Job Progress states on page 37 for detailed descriptions of the progress states.

Workflow for enhanced jobs


Enhanced features specified in the Job Ticket can only be implemented on the enhanced presses.
If an installation includes both enhanced and non-enhanced presses, care must be taken to direct jobs requiring
enhanced features to a press that can implement them.
HP Production Pro for Indigo Labels & Packaging includes features that help ensure that jobs will be printed
properly.

List of Enhancement Features


● Multiple Resolution Workflow: RIPs and delivers jobs in multiple resolutions. Jobs and elements in jobs can
be sent at resolutions of: 1200 dpi, 800 dpi, 600 dpi, 400 dpi, and 200 dpi.
● Reduce Line Weight: Compensates solid Line-work line width for dot gain changes. Prints Microprints and
fine White text on Black background.
● Adaptive halftoning: Specifies job with halftoning on or off or default.
● ICF96 and ICF05 format: ICF library supports both formats based on product configuration.

Hold and resume jobs


Normally, jobs move automatically from submission through processing to the specified post-RIP destination.
Putting a job on hold prevents it from moving to the next step in processing. You may want to put a job on hold
so you can edit its Job Ticket before RIPping or manually control the workflow.
In the jobs list, the status icon identifies held jobs.

When can jobs be held?


A job can be put on hold:
● When it is submitted.
● When it is in a processor queue waiting to be processed. Note: Depending on the number of jobs in the
queue, this could be a very short period of time.
● After processing. This hold state is called Awaiting review or Hold for review. See Deal with jobs held for
review on page 110.
A job cannot be put on hold when:
● It is currently being processed.
● It is in an error state.
● It is completed, canceled, or deleted.
Jobs can be placed on hold manually, or processors can be set to hold jobs automatically.
The Systems Settings dialog box provides a way to put all new jobs on hold automatically.

To configure a processor to hold jobs automatically before or after processing:

1. In the Web client, select the System tab, expand the Workflow menu on the left navigation tab, and click
Processors.
2. From the Resource menu, click Processors. This opens the Manage Processors dialog box.

ENWW List of Enhancement Features 109


3. Select the processor to be configured from the table and click Edit .
4. Check the box Hold On Input or Hold On Output and click Save ( ).

To resume a held job:

● Right-click the job in the jobs list and click Release .


● Select the job and click Release .
To resume a job held for review:
● See Deal with jobs held for review on page 110.

Put new jobs on hold


You can configure the system to place all newly-submitted jobs on hold. This may be desirable if you frequently
need to modify Job Tickets after jobs are submitted.

To configure the system to hold new jobs:

1. In the Web client, select the System tab, expand the Workflow menu on the left navigation pane, and click
System Settings.
2. Click Edit.
3. Check the box Place all newly submitted jobs on hold
4. Click Save Changes

Find jobs on the press


To locate the press jobs associated with a job:

1. The press jobs associated with the job are displayed in the Presses list. View the presses list on the System
tab by expanding the Devices menu on the left navigation pane and clicking Presses.
2. Select a press to display the press jobs for that press.

Deal with jobs held for review


Processors can be configured to automatically put jobs on hold when they finish processing at that processor.
This provides a way to:
● Manually control the workflow of a job. A job held for review must be manually approved before it can
continue through its workflow.
● Closely monitor jobs to see if they require reprocessing. For example, the user has an opportunity to check
the Job Log or Production System Log before proceeding.
Jobs held for review have the status icon . Jobs held for review are handled by:

● Approval. This allows the job to proceed to the next step in its workflow.
● Failing approval. The job status is changed to Needs attention.

110 Chapter 6 Manage jobs ENWW


Approve or fail a job
NOTE: Your user permissions determine whether or not you can perform these tasks.

To approve the job:

1. Select the job in the jobs list.


2. Click Approve and release .
The job will proceed through its workflow.

To fail approval:

1. Select the job in the jobs list.


2. Click Fail Approval .

The job status will change to Needs attention . The job can now be:

● Reprocessed. This starts the job’s workflow from the beginning with the same Job ID. The job ticket can be
edited, and then the job is re-RIPped. The original job is replaced by this new job. See Reprocess a job
on page 111.
● Resubmitted. This starts the job's workflow from the beginning. See Resubmit a job on page 112.
● Canceled. The job is placed in Canceled status . See Cancel a job on page 114.

Reprocess a job
Reprocessing a job sends the job file back through the most recent processor.
To reprocess a job, the job must have the status Needs attention .

Manage copy counts


The copy counts for a job are managed differently depending on whether the job contains a single document or a
collection of documents, as is the case for batched jobs.

Manage copy counts for individual documents


The copy count for a job containing only one document is managed via the job Properties page.

To manage the copy count for an individual job:

1. Go to the Production tab in the DFE, select the job you want to manage, and then click Properties .

The Document Details window opens.


2. In the Job Information pane, locate the Copies input box, and then modify the number of copies as
necessary.
3. Click Save Changes to confirm the change, and then click the back arrow to return to the main jobs list.

Manage copy counts for batched jobs


For batched jobs that contain multiple documents, you can manage the number of copies printed for each
individual document in the collection. The document copy counts are managed via the Document Details page.

To manage copy counts for a collection of documents:

1. Go to the Production tab in the DFE, select the job you want to manage, and then click Document Details
.
The Document Details window opens.

NOTE: You can also access Document Details by selecting the job in the job list, and then clicking
Document Details from the job menu.

2. Select the individual document you want to modify from the list of documents in the job, and then click Edit
.

The Document Properties dialog box opens.


3. Update the Name and Copies as necessary, and then click Save to confirm the changes to the document.
4. After you have made all the necessary changes to the document collection, click Save Changes on the
Document Details page to confirm the changes and return to the main jobs list.

ENWW Manage copy counts 113


Cancel a job
Canceling a job permanently halts its workflow. A canceled job cannot be reactivated.
Canceling a job is a useful operation when you want to stop a job immediately and permanently, perhaps due to
a known error. A job can be canceled at any time in the workflow before completion, whether it is in a ready or a
progress state.
A job that is in progress must be canceled before it can be deleted. See Delete jobs manually on page 116.
When a job is canceled:
● The job status is set to canceled.
● Depending on the workflow setting in the System Settings dialog box, the job may remain in the jobs list, or
it may automatically be deleted.
● Press jobs associated with the job are deleted, unless the press job is currently being printed.
The only actions you can perform on a canceled job are:
● Delete the job. See Delete jobs manually on page 116.
● View its Job Ticket.
To cancel a job:
● Right-click the job in the jobs list and click Cancel from the pop-up menu, or
● Select the job in the jobs list and click Cancel .
The job status changes to Canceling and then Canceled, with the status icon . Any associated press jobs are
deleted.

Automatic job Cancellation


The system can be configured to automatically set job status to Canceled when the job's press job is deleted. If
there are multiple press jobs, the Canceled status is set when the all the press jobs have been deleted.

To configure automatic job cancellation:

1. In the Web client, select the System tab. On the left navigation panel, expand the Workflow menu and click
System Settings.
2. Click Edit.
3. Under System "Delete Job" Behavior, select Cancel the job.
4. Click Save Changes.

Throttle processors
HP Production Pro for Indigo Labels & Packaging monitors system status and adjusts the flow of jobs through
the system when necessary by placing one or more components into the "throttle" state.
The major components that can be throttled are:
● The general system processor that controls job submission. The most common reason for throttling this
processor is low free disk space allocated for jobs. Old jobs must be deleted before new ones can be
submitted.

114 Chapter 6 Manage jobs ENWW


When job submission is throttled, the jobs list icon changes to a warning icon and a "throttled" message is
displayed in the System Explorer.

How jobs are set to complete


Completing a job means that its progress is set to complete at the end of its workflow.
The system settings determine whether a job's status is set to complete automatically or requires manual
intervention:

Automatically complete jobs


Set a job to complete when its press job is set to printing done
HP Production Pro for Indigo Labels & Packaging can be configured to automatically set job progress to complete
when the user manually sets a press job to printing done.
In order for this to happen:
● The print processor must be the last processor in the workflow. (This is the case unless a custom processor
has been added after the print processor.)
● On the System Settings page, the workflow setting set the job to complete must be selected.

Set a job to complete when a press job is deleted


HP Production Pro for Indigo Labels & Packaging can be configured to automatically set a job to complete when
a job's press job is deleted. If there are multiple press jobs for the job, this behavior applies to deletion of the last
remaining press job.
In order for this to happen:
● The print processor must be the last processor in the workflow. (This is the case unless a custom processor
has been added after the print processor.)
● Set following options in the System Settings page:
1. Under System "Delete Job" Behavior, select Move the job to the next step in the workflow.
2. Under Workflow Settings, select Set the job to complete.

Manually complete a job


HP Production Pro for Indigo Labels & Packaging can be configured to require manual intervention before a job is
set to complete.
If the print processor is the last processor in the workflow (the default configuration), use these settings in the
System Settings page:
1. Under System "Delete Job" Behavior, select Move the job to the next step in the workflow.
2. Under Workflow Settings, select Set the job to "awaiting review."
3. If a custom processor has been added: In the Processors page, place a check mark in Hold On Output for
the processor.

To manually complete a job:

1. Select a job in the jobs list that has:

ENWW How jobs are set to complete 115


● Finished its last processing step (typically the press), and
● Has status held awaiting review.
2. Do one of the following:
● Right-click and select Approve and release from the pop-up menu.
● Select the job and click Approve and release .

Delete jobs manually


Deleting a job removes it entirely from the system. Deleting a job cannot be undone.
When a job is deleted:
● The job is removed from the jobs list.
● Any press jobs associated with the job are deleted. (If a press job is currently being printed, it will not be
deleted.)
● All the assets associated with the job are removed, including files and the Job Ticket.
● Any log entries related to the job are erased.

To delete a job:

Right-click the job in the jobs list and click Delete from the pop-up menu, or select the job in the jobs list
and click Delete in the Job menu.
There may be cases where the system cannot delete the associated press jobs (for example, because a Press
Controller is offline or if there is a network disruption). The delete job confirmation dialog box provides an option
for canceling job deletion if the press job(s) cannot be deleted.

Delete jobs automatically


You can set up the system to automatically delete jobs that are complete or canceled. To automatically delete a
complete job, all its press jobs must already have been deleted.

To automatically delete complete and canceled jobs:


1. In the Web client, select the System tab. On the left navigation panel, expand the Workflow menu and click
System Settings.
2. Click Edit.
3. Under Workflow Settings:
a. Select Set the job to complete as the action taken when a job completes its last processing step.
Unless you've added a custom finishing processor, printing is the last processing step.
b. Check Automatically delete jobs when (1) they are canceled, or (2) they are complete.

NOTE: If the system has been set up to return job status information to customers submitting ISV jobs, this
setting may cause an incorrect canceled status to be returned to the customer.

Overview of color management


HP Production Pro for Indigo Labels & Packaging uses color strategies defined in the Esko Color Engine Pilot to
provide both automatic color management and advanced color options for users needing full control over the
color workflow.
Automatic color management HP Production Pro for Indigo Labels & Packaging produces state-of-the-art color
"out of the box" without operator involvement. The HP Production RIP accepts:
● Traditional CMYK offset print jobs.
● Untagged RGB color PDF files from the office.
● Color-managed documents.
Depending on the document creation application, untagged device color can be CMYK, Grayscale, or RGB. The
HP Production RIP automatically detects and renders these colors:
● Untagged RGB data is accepted and automatically color-managed using HP sRGB technology.
– sRGB is an international standard created by HP and Microsoft to represent a typical monitor. It is
widely used as the default RGB color definition.
– HP sRGB rendering produces a perceptual screen appearance match that adapts the monitor
primaries to print primaries, and leverages the color capabilities of the press.
● Untagged, device CMYK and Grayscale data is sent directly to the press with an Exp_05 job LUT. This
produces color output that uses the full gamut of the press with a tone response consistent with offset
press standards.
ICC-based color management is now supported by most graphic art document creation applications. Generally
accepted "best practices" require color management information describing the source color spaces to be
included in the print document. This includes Postscript Color Space Arrays (CSAs), PDF-calibrated color, and ICC
profiles included in PDF files. This information is honored by the HP Production RIP, which then renders the
colors properly for the press inks and media.
Advanced features. The automatic behavior defaults can be changed with the color management and color
separation options of the Job Ticket:
● Preloaded ICC profiles can be assigned to deviceCMYK, deviceRGB, and deviceGray inputs.
● Custom profiles can be imported.

ENWW Overview of color management 117


● Output profiles can be imported to optimize the press output for different media types.
● Different rendering intents can be specified separately for RGB and CMYK images as well as text and
graphics.
Other advanced features include support for OPI image servers, overprint options, and pure black can be printed
with black ink only. In addition:
● Spot colors can be separated to custom ink separations or rendered as process colors based on settings in
the chosen Color Strategy.
● Preloaded LUTs can be assigned to individual separations, and custom LUTs can be imported.
● Pantone-named colors can use color management to determine the process color substitution.

To set color options


Color management of press jobs occurs in two places:
● In the job properties on the print server, under Color > Color Control, there are settings to adjust LUTs, dot
area, optical density, brightness, and contrast.
● Color management provided by the press software. This may vary among different presses, but it generally
includes LUTs and color matching.
A good procedure is to set an order's color options as accurately as possible before RIPping and then print a
proof from the press job file. If necessary, many color adjustments can be made on the press without re-RIPping
the job.

Before RIPping:

● Pre-RIP options are located on the Color tab of the Job Ticket and Ticket Template.
● If you expect to edit most Job Tickets before RIPping, you may want to put new orders on hold
automatically.

After RIPping:

1. Print a proof from the press job file.


2. Adjust color settings if desired. Post-RIP options are located in the job properties.

Priority of options
Color options can be set in the Ticket Template, the Job Ticket, and the press. To determine which color options
take precedence, use this guideline:
● The Job Ticket overrides the Ticket Template.
● Options set in HP Production Pro for Indigo Labels & Packaging override the press defaults. To view press
defaults, click Press Configuration in the press Options menu.

Configuring color for RIPping


Color management and separations options for static jobs should be set before an order is RIPped. These pre-
RIP options are located in the Job Ticket or the Ticket Template.

NOTE: Not all settings apply to variable data jobs.

118 Chapter 7 Color and substrate workflow ENWW


Color management options
The native color capabilities of devices vary widely because color is produced with different technologies,
physical processes, and ink colors. The color workflow in HP Production Pro for Indigo Labels & Packaging
transforms color from an input color space definition to the output device's color space.
HP Production Pro for Indigo Labels & Packaging uses the Esko Color Engine as part of the color transform
process. Object colors in the job are converted to CMYK from a variety of color spaces, based on settings on the
color tab of the Ticket Template. The converted CMYK is then sent to the Color Engine for further conversion
based on the Color Strategy chosen in the Ticket Template.

Create and manage press job Look Up Tables (LUTs)


Each Press Controller maintains a library of Look Up Tables (LUTs). These LUTs can be loaded into press jobs on
that Press Controller.

To open the LUT Library for a Press Controller:

1. Open the job ticket for a press job on that Press Controller.
● On Print Link presses, the job can be in the Held Jobs list, Press Controller Jobs list, or Press Controller
view.
2. In the Color > Color Control box, click LUT Library .

Each LUT in the library has:


● A unique name. (Names are unique only within that library.)
● A list of separation names. Each separation name corresponds to a LUT ( a curve of x,y values). Therefore, if
multiple separation names are shown, the LUT name actually refers to a set of LUTs - one for each
separation.

To save a single LUT curve for a separation

1. In the Color > Color Control section of the job properties, select the separation. Then edit the LUT for the
separation.
2. Click Save LUT As .

3. In the Save Job LUT dialog box, type a Job LUT name.
4. Select the Selected separation option.
5. Click Save.
If you now open the LUT library, you will see the LUT listed with its separation.

To save a set of LUTs for multiple separations

1. In the Color > Color Control section in the Job Properties, create the LUTs for each of the separations in a
press job.
2. Click Save LUT As .

3. In the Save Job LUT dialog box, type a Job LUT name.
4. Select the All separations option.
5. Click Save.

ENWW Create and manage press job Look Up Tables (LUTs) 119
If you now open the LUT library, you will see the LUT listed. The For Separations column will list all the
separations in the job, indicating that multiple LUT curves have been saved. Each curve is internally stored with
both its Job LUT name and its separation name.

To load a single LUT into a separation

1. Open the job properties for the press job, select the Color > Color Control section and click LUT Library.
2. In the table, select the LUT you want to load into the job.
You can select any of the listed LUTs. For example, even if the For Separations column lists only cyan for a
LUT, you can load that LUT into a magenta separation.
If you select a set of LUTs (multiple separations are listed for it), only the LUT for the separation you select
in the next step will be loaded.

To load a set of LUTs into multiple separations

1. Open the job properties for the press job, select the Color > Color Control section and click LUT Library.
2. In the table, select the LUT you want to load into the job.
You can select any of the listed LUTs. For example, even if the For Separations column lists only cyan for a
LUT, you can load that LUT into all separations.
If you select a set of LUTs (multiple separations are listed for it), the individual LUTs in the set will be loaded
into their corresponding separations.
3. Select All from the Load job LUT to selected separation(s) list and click Save.

GEM inks
The Graphics Embellishment (GEM) system simplifies the process and redefines a whole new experience of label-
embellishing. The unit will be able to digitally print spot, tactile, foil, holographs, mini textures, and lamination. In
addition, it also provides options to use flood varnish in gloss or matte finishes.

Add a GEM special ink

1. In the Web client, select the System tab, and then click Special Inks under Resources.
2. Click New . A new line for a special ink color displays.

3. Set the name to a default GEM ink name, or to a custom GEM ink name that matches a separation name in
a job.
4. Set the desired thickness of the GEM ink, and then click the check mark to save.

Edit a GEM special ink

1. In the Web client, select the System tab, and then click Special Inks under Resources.
2. Select the special ink to edit, and then click Edit .
3. Modify the content to match the desired ink information, and then click the check mark to save.

General workflow concept

1. A designer sends a file containing image and embellishment separations.


2. The label is printed on a compatible digital press. The printed roll is connected in-line to GEM for the digital
embellishment process.
3. Full flood varnish is applied and cured.
4. UV ink in the shape and thickness of the desired embellishment is applied by the first print bar and then
cured. With one print bar, the following can be created:
● Digital spot or tactile embellishments
● A foil

NOTE: The print bar prints the UV ink, and then a foil is laid on the ink. The excess foil is then peeled,
leaving the remaining foil in the shape of the desired embellishment.

5. The second print bar prints UV ink in the shape of the second embellishment, and can also cover the foil
with ink.
6. The ink is cured.

NOTE: Digital holograms can also be printed. This process occurs after the second print bar, since it requires
curing, but does not require a protective layer.

If you now open the LUT library, you will see the LUT listed with its separation.
If you now open the LUT library, you will see the LUT listed. The For Separations column will list all the
separations in the job, indicating that multiple LUT curves have been saved. Each curve is internally stored with
both its Job LUT name and its separation name.

Overview of substrate workflow


Substrate workflow describes how one or more substrates are assigned to a job, and how that information is
implemented in the workflow from job submission to printing.
General substrate concepts
Substrates are defined separately on each press. Each press manages its own list of substrates and their
property definitions.
HP Production Pro for Indigo Labels & Packaging communicates with each press and obtains a list of substrates
on that press and the properties of that substrate as defined on that press. That information is aggregated into
the Substrate Catalog.

ENWW Overview of substrate workflow 121


For Print Link presses, the system also acquires the drawer contents, so it knows which substrates are actually
loaded.

Substrate workflow for Print Link presses

● The initial substrate assignment(s) are obtained from the Ticket Template associated with the Hot Folder
or other input method.
The Ticket Template should specify an actual substrate name (intended substrates are not supported on
Print Link presses) or the press default substrate.
● Prior to RIP, the Job Ticket can be edited to change the substrate(s). You can select any substrate listed in
the Substrate Catalog, regardless of whether or not that substrate is defined on the destination press.
● When the press job is created, the substrate information in the Job Ticket is written to its job properties.
● When the press job arrives at the Press Controller for the press, the system checks to see whether the
substrate(s) specified in the job properties are defined on the press. If they are not, the job is flagged as
needing attention and placed in the Press Controller Jobs list.
● The substrate(s) for press jobs can be modified in the Job Properties dialog box. If the press job has been
assigned to a press, substrate selection is limited to substrates defined on that press.
● When the press job is placed in the Held Jobs List or Print Queue, the substrate information is part of the
job reference sent to the press. The press operator can edit the substrate using the press software.

Use the Substrate Catalog


The Substrate Catalog is used to:
● View an aggregated list of substrates defined on all presses.
● Locate specific substrates.
● Assign a specific substrate to a job, either pre-RIP or post-RIP.
When you open the Substrate Catalog, the system acquires the substrate information from the press(es). There
can be a delay in displaying the list to allow for communication with the presses.
Table 7-2 Substrate Catalog dialog box

Substrate table Contains a sortable list of substrates and their properties:

● When the catalog is opened from the Job Ticket, all defined substrates on all presses are listed. If a
substrate is defined on multiple presses, each definition is listed separately.

● When the catalog is opened from the Job Properties dialog, only substrates defined on the assigned
press are shown. (If the job's workflow sent the press job to a Press Controller, the job does not have a
press assignment, all substrates are shown.)

● If a press is down or off-line, its substrates are not listed.

To open the Substrate Catalog

● On the Print > Substrate section of the Job Ticket (or Ticket Template), click Substrate Catalog .
● On the Print > Substrate section of the Job Properties, click Substrate Catalog . In this view, the list is
filtered to include only the substrates defined on the press(es) to which the Press Controller is mapped.
