Click [Printer settings] and select an available printer. Click [Edit] and 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 button [Edit preferences]. The printer driver opens. You can define the printing preferences for this printer.
Click button [Reset preferences] to reset the printing preferences. Now, the default printing preferences are used.
[Enable the driver settings button]
The [Printing preferences] dialogue of a printer can offer options that are not available in the [Production] workspace. For example, the [Printing preferences] dialogue of a colour printer can offer colour 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] dialogue 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] dialogue contains settings that conflict with page programme settings. Options like [Same-up], [Booklet], page programming in the driver and [Number of sets] are potentially dangerous. Rasterise 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. The format for a URL is "http://<website>" or "https://<website>".
PRISMAsync Remote Manager
When you add a new printer driven by a PRISMAsync Print Server, the URL of its PRISMAsync Remote Manager is automatically added to the available websites for the printer.
The URL of the PRISMAsync Remote Manager is not automatically added for already available printers.
Click the list of available printers in the [Production] workspace. Click the cogwheel icon to select an available web site.
Click [OK].
