Prepress Settings
These settings control how the files of incoming orders are processed in your production workflow. Files can be sent automatically to your workflow system, downloaded manually, or exported to an FTP site or your PrintSphere space.
NOTE: These are the default settings for products in all stores. You can change the file type settings when creating your product templates: see “Production Tab”.
Configure Prepress Settings
On the menu bar, choose Advanced > Production Settings > Prepress Settings tab.Apogee Prepress/Asanti Version
Choose your version from the drop-down list. This affects the JDF file generated by StoreFront for further processing.
Order Handling
This option lets you choose how incoming orders are downloaded and processed.
Manually download order items for production
Select this option if you don’t have automatic integration with Apogee Prepress 8.0 or higher/Asanti or if you do not want to use automatic processing.
Automatically download all order items to Apogee Prepress/Asanti
Select this option to automatically send all order items to Apogee Prepress/Asanti. The following options appear:
•Hot Ticket: You must enter the name of a Hot Ticket which has a JDF import task processor and which your created in Apogee Prepress/Asanti for importing StoreFront jobs.
•Track Apogee Prepress/Asanti Feedback: Enables an extra button in the Orders tab that can be clicked to see feedback from the workflow system.
Automatically send order items to FTP server
Select this option if you want to export a ZIP file for each order item to an FTP server. Enter your FTP details:
•FTP Server: ftp.mycompany.com
•Default port is 21 (do not change)
•User name: myname
•Password: mypassword
•Active mode: select the check box to use FTP active mode as opposed to the default FTP passive mode
Automatically send order items to your PrintSphere
Sends a ZIP file to your PrintSphere space which can be set up to sync automatically to your local network. You can specify the Export Directory in your PrintSphere space, for example: /StoreFront/ExportOrders. Click the Folder button to navigate directly to this folder without logging on to PrintSphere.
Default Ticket Template
Enter the name of a ticket template that you created in Apogee Prepress/Asanti for processing orders downloaded automatically or choose a template in the drop-down list. Job ticket templates created in Apogee Prepress 8.0 and higher/Asanti with the option ‘Mark available for StoreFront’ appear automatically in this drop-down list. This default ticket template can be overridden by specifying a ticket template in the Product Template. Refer to “Production Tab”.
Default File Type
If you choose to download files manually (also applies when overriding your automatic flow), you can select which type of file is created for download:
•MJD (mime-packaged JDF) zip file: An MJD (mime-packaged job description) file is a single file which contains both the administrative order data as well as any available content (the PDF file the shopper uploaded or the PDF of the document the shopper customized or ordered).
•PDF/JDF zip file: the PDF with the page content and the JDF are two separate files. If you have a prepress workflow that is capable of processing MJD files, it is recommended to use that option. For all other systems choosing PDF/JDF is recommended. If you choose automatic downloading of files, Apogee Prepress/Asanti always downloads an MJD to create the jobs.
The files are contained in a zip package in both cases.
