This process template section identifies device-related parameters for the output during final output.
Output Type
Select Absolute File or Printer to enter the path for a specific network device or file location.
Select Job-Relative File to enter a path that is relative to the location of the job folder.
Note: The default is Job-relative file and the Device Path box default is %JOB%.
Typing a path for a network device in the Device Path box automatically sets the Output Type to Absolute File or Printer.
Submit as Multiple Print Jobs
Select to submit a separate job for each surface that is output.
Available when Absolute File or Printer is selected as the Output Type or when the Delta option in the Render section is enabled.
Rush Plate
Select this check box to send separations to a directly-connected output device as soon as each separation is complete, rather than the default behavior of RIPing all separations before submitting them to the output device queue.
Available when an output is configured to go direct to a device (as opposed to TIFF or other to file output) and the Submit as Multiple Print Jobs check box is selected.
Device Name
If you have multiple output devices, such as Magnus, Lotem, or Trendsetter, connected to your system, this setting contains a list of available devices. Use the Device Name list to select a specific output device for the process template to use.
Device Path
The default setting depends on the value selected as the Output Type.
Proofs
folder of the job that creates the process. You can change the Proofs
folder to any subfolder found in a job folder.Output Blank Surfaces for Duplexing and Collating
Select when you want to output an imposition that is supposed to have blank surfaces (that is, surfaces with no separations) so that duplexing or collating will be correct.
Mirror Print
Select to output media with the emulsion side down.
Negative Print
Select to output a negative image.
Cut Media
Select when you want the device to automatically cut the media.
Available when a device with a media cutting system is selected in the Output To list.
Load Media
Select when you want the device to automatically load the media.
Available when a device with a media loading system is selected in the Output To list.
Unload Media
Select when you want the device to automatically unload media.
Available when a format for a device with a media loading system is selected in the Output To list.
Manually
Select when you want the device to prompt the operator to load the device manually.
Available when a format for a device with a media loading system is selected in the Output To list.
Media Unload Mode
Select the mode for unloading media.
Available when a format for a device with a media loading system is selected in the Output To list. See your device's documentation for more information.
HPRTL Device
If you have a Hewlett-Packard device, select HP.
If you have the Iris 43WIDE device, select Iris/Mutoh.
HPRTL is a raster file format developed by Hewlett-Packard and used by a number of device manufacturers.
Available when HPRTL is selected in the Output To list.
Variable Mainscan Imaging
This area applies only when the final output device is a Kodak device with the Variable Mainscan Resolution (VMR) option.
The VMR option adjusts the pixel resolution of the output device in the mainscan (around-the-drum) direction to align the pixel boundaries to the frequency of the lenticular lens boundaries.
To image with the VMR option, select the Enable Variable Mainscan Imaging check box, and then perform one of the following actions:
In all instances, the subscan (along-the-drum) resolution remains unaffected.
