IP address of the designated printer, e .g ., 192 .168 .0 .2 or 192 .168 .000 .002
Job Properties
Part#
0
Total number of parts in the job
Job Properties
Number of
Parts
NA
Full path and name of the STL/CTL file. # must be replaced with numbers which start
from 1,
e .g ., Part1, Part2, and Part3 . . . The total number of parts must be consistent with the
total number of parts .
If a file name is one of:
Modeler_Verification_Strip.STL
Modeler_Verification_Strip_InVision.STL
Modeler_Verification_Strip_ProJet.STL
Modeler_Verification_Strip_ProJetCPX.STL
...then the file is the verification strip
Job Properties
Auto Part
Placement
No
Valid values are “Yes” or “No” .
If Yes, the Batch Processor performs auto part placement .
If No, the parts will not be auto placed .
However, the users should ensure the part sizes and positions are appropriate .
Job Properties
Max Extent X
dPlatEx-
tX
Max job volume X extent, which is used to position the verification strip for optimal
build speed .
The default value is the max platform X extent, which is 6 inches for ProJet 0000 in
high resolution mode .
Job Properties
Sharable
No
Valid values are “Yes” or “No”, which specify if the print job will be shared with other
jobs in the printer .
The print job will not be shared if this field is absent.
Job Properties
Quick Build
No
Valid values are “Yes” or “No”, which denote whether the parts should be oriented in
the printer to save print time .
Quick build part placement will not be performed if this field is absent.
Job Properties
Verify
No
Valid values are “Yes” or “No”, which specify if verify needs to be performed on the
parts .
Verify will not be performed if this field is absent.
Job Properties
Shrink Factor X
Shrink Factor Y
Shrink Factor Z
0 .0
The corresponding shrinkage compensation factors desired in percentage .
These fields will default to 0 if absent, which means no shrinkage compensation is
added .
Job Properties
Supports Style
Stan-

This key defines the units for the job.
The units will default to Inch if this field is absent.
Valid values are Inch or mm .

This key defines the number of copies of the specified parts in the list.
The default is to created one copy for each part in the job .
Job Properties

The key is used to specify whether the job is to be saved in addition to printing .
The job will not be saved if this field is absent.
Valid values are Yes or No .
Job Properties

No
The key is used to specify whether the job is to be saved in addition to printing .
The job will not be saved if this field is absent.
Valid values are Yes or No .
Job Properties
Wait Timeout
3600
The key denotes the allowed wait time to send jobs from the client to the printer .
The wait time depends on the client computer and network speeds .
If the wait is more than the allowed wait timeout, the ModelerBatch .exe will be aborted .
The default allowed wait timeout is 3600 seconds (or 60 minutes) .
Job Properties
Display Error
Message
Yes
The key denotes whether to display an error message dialog (i .e . - Pop-up message) if
