Click [Printer settings] and select an available printer. Click and [Edit] select the [Preferences] tab.
Define which printing preferences you want to use:
[Let Windows set the printing preferences]
The default settings for this printer are used. These settings are stored on the Windows system.
[Let this application set the printing preferences]
Click the [Edit preferences] button. The printer driver opens. You can define the printing preferences for this printer.
Click the [Reset preferences] button to reset the printing preferences. Now, the default printing preferences are used.
[Enable the driver settings button in PRISMAprepare print dialog]
The [Printing preferences] dialog of a printer can offer options that are not available in the [Production] workspace. For example, the [Printing preferences] dialog of a color printer can offer color settings which are not supported by PRISMAprepare.
Result: A button is added next to the printer driver in the [Production] workspace. The button gives access to the [Printing preferences] dialog of the printer. The button is not added if the [Production] workspace already offers all settings of the printer.
NOTE
The printer output can be ruined if the [Printing preferences] dialog contains settings that conflict with page program settings. Options like [Same-up], [Booklet], page programming in the driver and [Number of sets] are potentially dangerous. Rasterize and finishing settings are usually save.
[Enable accounting]
When this option is enabled, the tab [Accounting] becomes available in the [Production] workspace.
[Maximum number of sheets per job for variable data documents]
A print job for variable data documents can be very large. You can set a maximum number of sheets per job to limit the size of a print job. Now, the application will cut the large print job into a number of smaller print jobs. Every smaller print job will not contain more than the specified maximum number of sheets.
The minimum value for this setting is 400 sheets.
For example, a print job contains 4000 variable data documents. Each variable data document contains 10 pages that are printed on 5 sheets. You set a maximum of 400 sheets. The application now sends 50 smaller print jobs to the printer instead of one large print job.
[Web sites for the printer:]
You can add one or more URLs to the text field. This option is available for PRISMAdirect only.
Right-click a printer in the [Order processing] to open the context menu of the printer. You can select the website(s) in the context menu.
Click [OK].
