A transaction printing setup is a set of attributes that is used for transaction printing. You can create different setups, but only one setup can be loaded, which means it is active. The attributes of the active transaction setup define the media, color, print delivery and other properties of the transaction print job.
[Transaction setups] menuYou can only load a transactions setup when transaction printing is offline.
NOTE
In PRISMAproduction you can attach a transaction setup to a job ticket. When the data stream uses this job ticket, the attached transaction setup is automatically loaded for the next data stream.
Only one transaction printing Printer Control Language (PDL) can be active at the printer: IPDS or PCL.
It depends on the data stream if the IPDS or the PCL attributes of the transaction setup become active.
[Transaction setups] menu
The list of transaction setups shows the status of the transaction setups.
