The information that appears in this tab depends on whether you are submitting input files to a digital press or to an automated production target. The usefulness of this information depends on your familiarity with the automated production and digital press targets.
Digital Press
Displays the name of the digital press that you selected in the Digital Submit window.
Note: If using an HP front end that controls multiple digital presses, select the HP front end in this box, and the specific digital press in the Queue box.
Queue
Select a queue type, either Process Print, Process Store, or Spool Store. If you select Process Print, the job is immediately processed by the digital press. If you select Process Store, the job is added to the queue.
Note: If using an HP front end that controls multiple digital presses, select the specific digital press in this box.

Click Choose and select the JDF template that you want to use for the job. If you need to edit a JDF template, click Edit.
Note: For the HP SmartStream Production Pro Print Server and the HP SmartStream Onboard Print Server front ends, you must select the HP Rip and Print JDF template if you want to send a document to directly to the press' active queue (instead of the holding queue) from Digital Direct. Alternatively, edit the selected JDF template so that the activation attribute appears as JDF/@Activation="Active".

Columns and Rows, Step and Repeat
Displays the number of columns and rows in the imposition. Select or clear the Columns, Step and Repeat and Rows, Step and Repeat check boxes to indicate whether content in the columns and rows is repeated.

Important: If a JDF template is unable to provide this information, you must type information in the boxes to ensure that you get an accurate print quantity calculation.
Overs
Type the number of additional copies (of the input files) that you want to print.
