Question

Solution

Via the Output Settings you define the way how a PDF is being forwarded to VersaWorks.  You can also enrich the Automation Rules by setting a Printer Type for your output device.

Note : If you've defined a printer type on you jigs, then you should as well define a printer type to your output channel.

  1. Go to your PrintAutoMate environment - Settings - Output Settings
  2. Select the username for whom you would like to enrich the output towards VersaWorksScreenshot 2023-11-16 at 11.03.50.png
  3. For each output channel printer or hotfolders parameters can be set
    1. Output PDF rotation 180 degrees
    2. For some reason, for some printers the zero point is not right but left, so this can be defined
    3. Crop the PDF to be printed in the most optimal time saving way
    4. Assign a PrintType to the output device.  This will help to filter down the jobs to the correct jig - printer - user.  PrintType is part of the master data.
