Network Orders
RP 30 Laser Printer can be connected with several workstations in the lab by way of
a PDM server. These workstations can send completely prepared orders to the
equipment for printing at any time. Every one of these orders consists of the
corresponding image files and an order description file containing information about
the back print text, print size, number of prints/image, configuration, etc.
Supported formats are:
• PFDF (Photofinishing Data Format) for the complete orders
• jpg, bmp, or tif for the single images of a complete order
Because the image editing is already done on the workstation, the orders are
automatically printed on the equipment without preview.
The workstation can send orders at any time. The time when the order is to be
printed is specified in the Machine settings. The RP 30 Laser Printer uses idle
times. If you do not perform any operations during a preset time span, the waiting
orders are processed in the order of their arrival. Orders requiring a different paper
width are skipped. You can start the printing of network orders.
NOTE: A file print configuration with the required paper width must be created
beforehand so that the network order can be printed.
