VDP Search Path
In Configure > PDL > VDP, use the following information for setting the file search path
for VDP objects.
Setting common global search paths
A file search path specifies where common VDP resources (for example, PostScript
images and fonts) are stored, either on a network computer or on the Integrated Fiery Color
Server. The Integrated Fiery Color Server searches predefined paths until it finds the necessary
resources. If the resource is not found, the job fails. Inform users of the paths that you specify
so that their jobs can access the resources.
The Integrated Fiery Color Server searches paths for VDP resources in the following order:
1 Path that the user specifies in the job
See “Allowing users to define a search path for a single job” on page 68.
2 Paths that you define in Configure for common global objects
3 Path that the application specifies for VPS or PPML resources when it generates the
data stream
For any of these paths, the Integrated Fiery Color Server searches the folder and then the
subfolders within that folder. After the Integrated Fiery Color Server locates the first resource,
it attempts to locate the second resource in the same folder. If the second resource is not
found in the same folder, the Integrated Fiery Color Server searches according to the original
order.
