You can import a raw imposition file using a job hot folder. You may need different hot folders with different process template options attached, depending on the import settings required by the job. For example, different device plate sizes require different process templates.
.job
file, Preps JDF file, or the JDF-MIS stripping parameters file into the job hot folder.After the hot folder accepts the Preps job file, the integrated Preps software creates the PJTF and marks files that are automatically imported into the job. The imposition plan is added to the job. The Preps .job
file is saved in the <job folder>\System\ImpositionPlans
folder.
When a JDF-MIS stripping parameters file is dropped into an existing job hot folder, the integrated Preps software creates the Preps job, finds a matching signature, and outputs PJTF and marks files that are automatically imported into the Prinergy job. The page set is created and the Preps job is saved in the <job folder>\System\ImpositionPlans
folder. If a matching signature is not found, the PJTF and marks files are not created and an imposition plan is not imported.
