Automated workflows (access through
the Settings Editor)
Introduction to automated workflows
Definition
The Settings Editor enables you to set up separate automated workflows. Automated
workflows are print queues that you can program to perform a range of operations. Auto-
mated workflows are mostly used for legacy applications where jobs are printed automat-
ically and certain settings must be set automatically. Every automated workflow represents
a different virtual printer with its own specific attributes. The table below describes the
attributes you can define.
The selection of automated workflows is handled when the job is sent over LPR via the
name of the automated workflow of the job ticket. Once the job is sent to a specified
automated workflow on the printer, you cannot move the job to another workflow. The
operator panel does not display the various automated workflows. However, jobs can get
a label that you can use as a selection criterion for further processing and production.
The use of automated workflows has for example the following advantages.
■
The print workflow is automated even more, which improves the productivity.
■
The programming of individual jobs is eliminated, which optimizes the job throughput.
■
You can more easily distinguish, prioritize and produce jobs in different automated
workflows with different properties using less operator involvement.
■
You can easily assign legacy applications without job tickets to specific job profiles.
#
NOTE
You can define whether or not the settings of a job ticket overrule the settings of an
automated workflow in the Settings Editor.

NOTE
It is not compulsory to define all the settings. When you put a check mark in front
of a setting, that setting and its values become enabled.
Refer to the Settings Editor to get an overview of the settings.
