Remote Manager Remote Manager The web-based Remote Manager provides workload planning on the configured PRISMAsync print systems. Workload planning helps to achieve an optimal print production and an efficient job handling. When you work with Remote Manager, you can access the queues of the connected print systems.
Media-based workflow Media-based workflow The media catalog is the backbone of the media-based workflow. The media catalog contains the media that the print system supports. The prepress staff select the media for the job from the media catalog. The control panel shows the operator the media the job needs.
Document printing workflow Document printing workflow The document printing workflow describes the route from the job preparation to the finishing and delivery of the printed output. The document printing workflow has four phases: 1. Job preparation Prepress staff defines the print document and job settings, and submits the print job to the PRISMAsync printer.
Transaction printing workflow Transaction printing workflow When there is a license for transaction printing (IPDS or PCL), you can operate the print system in the transaction printing mode. An IPDS or PCL host sends a streaming job to a dedicated port in the print system.
Page 42
Transaction printing workflow • Tray-to-tray mapping You specify which logical tray (indicated by a number) corresponds to a physical paper tray. The print system will use the media that are loaded in the physical paper tray to which the job refers via a logical tray. Also other paper trays that contain these media are used when needed.
