Import the media catalogue

  1. Click [Tools] - [Media] - [Media catalogue].

  2. Click [Import].

  3. You can import the media catalogue file directly from one or more printers, or from an XML file.

    • [Import from printers]

      You can only import the media catalogue from printers driven by a PRISMAsync Print Server or by a Fiery Print Server.

      1. The printer must be switched on during the import of the media catalogue.

      2. Select the printer(s). PRISMAprepare imports the media catalogue of these printers.

        The administrator configures which printers are available to you.

    • [Import from file]

      You can configure PRISMAprepare with the media catalogue of an other installation of PRISMAprepare. Do:

      1. Browse to the media catalogue file. The media catalogue file is an XML file. The XML file must have format 'PRISMAprepare file'.

      You can only configure a printer driven by a PRISMAsync Print Server with the media catalogue of PRISMAprepare. Do:

      1. Use the 'Settings Editor' to import an XML file with format [Printer file - new generation] into the printer.

  4. You can select the following options:

    • [Merge with the existing media catalogue]

      Merge the imported media catalogue with the media catalogue of PRISMAprepare.

      It is recommended to select this option when you import the media catalogues of more than one printer.

    • [Replace the existing media catalogue]

      Replace the media catalogue of PRISMAprepare with the imported media catalogue.

  5. Click [OK].
