Where to define print job settings
Introduction
Print jobs can vary from straightforward jobs with only a few settings to complex jobs with
extended settings. Therefore, there are several possibilities to define the settings for your print
jobs. For straightforward jobs, the use of the printer driver can be fine. If you often print recurring
jobs with identical, complex settings, the use of automated workflows or hotfolders can be the
best way to print your jobs. This section gives an overview of various possibilities.
NOTE
It is strongly recommended to define the settings for a print job in only one place, for example in
a printer driver or in an automated workflow, but not in both. Otherwise, undesired output
results can occur because settings can become mixed.

Item
Description
PDL settings
The job will be printed using either
• the PDL default settings as defined in the Settings Editor, or
• the PDL settings that were defined in a job itself, as interpreted
by the PDL.
Job ticket
The job will be printed using the settings that were defined in the
printer driver.
When you frequently print jobs with identical settings, you can
use the template function of the printer driver. Templates contain
predefined job settings. You can also create your own custom
templates.
Hotfolder
Hotfolders are primarily aimed at recurring print workflows. In
these workflows, identical PDFs or other printable files with identi-
cal settings are printed on a regular basis. The advantage of a hot-
folder is that you do not have to open a file and check the settings
before printing.
Operators can see hotfolders as a folder on their workstation
where they can simply drag & drop files.
A hotfolder option is the default ticket ('default_ticket.jdf') in a hot-
folder, which defines the settings for the print jobs. The files will
be printed according to settings of the hotfolder default ticket in
that hotfolder.
Automated workflow
Automated workflows are LPR print queues that you can pro-
gramme to perform a range of operations. Automated workflows
are primarily aimed at recurring print jobs with identical settings
that must be printed the same way as before. The advantage of
automated workflows is that you do not have to open a file and
check the settings before printing.
