Delete on completion
Select this box if you want the RIP to delete files that the spool folder succeeds in
printing. Otherwise the RIP moves these files to the
Complete
folder.
"
Generally we recommend deleting jobs after printing successfully.
However, there are circumstances where this is useful, such as moving the
job into another folder for RIPPing, like the Proofing folder. So you can
supply Plates and Proofs at the same time from the same file.
Filenames prefix list
This text field specifies files to ignore when they arrive in the spool folder, if you
have also selected the
Exclude prefix list
box. The specification is based on the first
part or prefix of the file names. Prefixes are case sensitive.
You can enter several prefixes. Separate multiple prefixes by commas without
surrounding spaces. If you add spaces after a comma, the RIP treats the spaces as
part of the following string. Each prefix can include alphanumeric characters, the
underscore character, the period character, and spaces.
For example, this is a valid list of three prefixes:
aaab_c, BAC, 4.4
Exclude prefix list
Check this box to make the prefix list active. Leave this box empty to disable the
prefix list without deleting the list of prefixes.
Scan spool folder every <n> seconds
The value in the text box specifies how often the RIP checks the Spool folder for new
files to be printed.
Time to wait for file to stabilize <n> seconds
The value in the text box specifies the number of seconds that the Spool folder waits
for the size of an arriving file to remain the same before assuming that it has been
fully written and is therefore ready to be printed.
Suppress startup warnings
If you have files present in the spool folder and then start the RIP, you will be
prompted with a warning that files already exist in this folder which you must
acknowledge before the RIP will start. If you would prefer to suppress these startup
warning messages and continue to start the RIP, select this option. All files present
in the folder will be processed.

If you want to set up multiple queues based upon different page setups,
select the Spool Folder queue that you have just set up, then use the “Copy”
button at the bottom of the Input Manager dialogue box. Then give your
copied input queue a different name, select the new page setup which you
wish to send the jobs to, then click “Configure”. Now you only need to
change the “Spool” folder, to reflect a new folder to act as the source for
your new queue.
