Learn about the synchronisation area

What is the synchronisation area

The cluster definition includes the synchronisation area. The synchronisation area determines what part of the printer configuration must be synchronised. The synchronisation area contains three options for a cluster of colour printers and two options for a cluster of B&W printers.

  • [Colour] (only applies to a cluster of colour printers)

  • [Media]

  • [Workflow]

Synchronisation area options in a cluster of colour printers
NOTE

The printer configuration cannot be changed in PRISMAsync Remote Match.

[Synchronisation area]: Resources and settings

Each synchronisation area option contains a fixed set of resources.

A resource is a list of named items, for example: [Automated workflows].

A resource entry is one of the named items, for example the automated workflow: Booklet.

You find the resources in the Settings Editor or on the control panel of the cluster printers.

The [Colour] option also includes colour settings.

You find these colour settings on the [Colour calibration] and [Colour defaults] tabs in the Settings Editor of the cluster printers.

The table below shows the resources and settings of the synchronisation area options.
