Sending pages from Prinergy to Dynamic Print Planning

Note: Make sure that your server clock settings (date and time) are set according to your region date and time.

1. Create a Prinergy job.
2. Add an input file and refine the pages.
3. In the Pages area, in the following custom fields, set the following values:

   1. DPP_PagePairs—in this custom field, the check box is selected by default.
      Keep the check box selected if you are sending a double-sided product, such as two-sided business card to sPrint One for print planning. 
      Clear the check box, if the page is a single-sided product. 
      Notes: When the check box is selected, you must send the front and back pages together. The page numbers determine the front and back of each product in the layout. Odd pages are placed on the front side of the layout and the next Even page is placed on the back.

   2. DPP_width—If you leave this custom field empty, the dimensions that appear are the dimensions of the page's width trim size. If you want to define different dimensions, type the required dimensions.  
      When you type different dimensions, they would overwrite the default trim size. Units of measure (mm, cm, inches, or points) are defined in the RBA rule.

   3. DPP_height—If you leave this custom field empty, the dimensions that appear are the dimensions of the page's hight trim size. If you want to define different dimensions, type the required dimensions.  
      When you type different dimensions, they would overwrite the default trim size. Units of measure (mm, cm, inches, or points) are defined in the RBA rule.

   4. DPP_dueDate—select the due date for the final output.

   5. DPP_quantity—type the required quantity of the final printed product (for example, 500 business cards).

   6. DPP_paperCat—it is recommended that you type the name of the required paper stock (you can leave this as is and add this information in the Sprint One console.)
      Important: Defining a specific paper stock enables efficient planning and calculation processes. 
      Note: For more information about DPP_custom fields, see Appendix A: Setting custom fields.

   7. DPP_workspaceID—the sPrint One workspace ID for the product submission is set at the job level. Open Job Finder and type the sPrint One Workspace ID.

   8. To set the default value for all jobs:  
      

      1. In Job Manager, on the toolbar, select Tools > Custom Fields Manager.
      2. In the Custom Fields Manager window, in the left pane, select Job. 
      3. In the right pane, under Name, select DPP_WorkspaceId.
      4. In the Default Value box, copy the Workspace ID to which you plan to send the pages. For more information about the Workspace ID and its value, see the Prepare a new Workspace section in the Dynamic Print Planning Quick Start Guide.
4. In Job Manager, in the Pages area, select the pages that you want to send to Kodak sPrint One Console, and right-click them.
5. From the menu that appears, select Customer Approval > Approve.
   Note: If the pages are set to pairs, the page selection for the page approval should contain all the pages and their related pairs.
6. (Optional) Type an approval comment and click OK.

With the page Approve activity - a Rules Based Automation (RBA) script will be kicked off, submitting all the details defined in your Custom Fields. The net result will be shown in the Dynamic Print Planning's console under the Products pane.
