Data exchange
The image files used by the printer are always created on external comput-
ers, whereas the format files and log files generated in the printer have to
be stored in external systems to be on the safe side.
Therefore, the printer regularly exchanges data with the outside world using
the HMI page System / File manager.
8.10.1 Media for data exchange
The data required for the operation of the printer can usually be transferred
in only two ways:
With a USB flash drive.
By means of the
Exchange
folder through a data line of the local net-
work
CSAT sets standard values at the commissioning of the printer which can
be changed if necessary, e.g. in order to improve the printed image. The
values are based on the printing media and layout. Formats and other pro-
cess files that have been changed are filed automatically in folders. There
is neither a search function nor the possibility of switching between multiple
folders.
Therefore, to exchange data, it is essential to maintain this defined directo-
ry structure on the exchange media. Consequently, the required directory
structure is created automatically on an empty USB flash drive when ex-
porting:
Fig. 106.
Required directory structure of the USB flash drive
For data exchange in the network (Intranet), an additional computer with
control panel must be connected (e.g. a laptop or a network computer) and
a connection between the internal PC of the printer and the Intranet must
be established.
A corresponding exchange folder (e.g.
exchange_1
) with the required direc-
tory structure must have been created on the network server.
No matter which medium is being used - USB flash drive or Intranet (folder
Exchange1
)
– the export files always have to be placed first in the special
recipient folders, whose name corresponds with the character/type of the
particular file.
