Introduction 1
Printgroove POD Serve 1-4
The Printgroove POD Suite improves the productivity of the entire Workflow
and helps prevent print errors caused by users by providing the following
functions:
-
Printgroove POD Guide receives orders from Printgroove POD Serve
through the Web. The customer creates a job ticket which is saved and
submitted to the CRD/reprographics department. There the ticket can be
reviewed and modified.
- A tracking number is issued and the user can trace the status of a print
order using Printgroove POD Serve/Guide.
- Process management is handled in Printgroove POD Guide. POD Guides
Workflow functions also enable comprehensive oversight of a job’s
progress.
- After Printgroove POD Guide sends the job data to Printgroove POD
Queue, the Printgroove POD Queue selects the optimum output engine
and automatically processes the job.
- Printgroove POD Queue supports the export/import of job tickets, allows
the user to change a job ticket, and a simple method of reprinting, all of
which improve the productivity of the print job process.
Printgroove POD Queue can function as a stand-alone application or in any
combination with the other modules.
In addition to these modules, the Printgroove POD Suite provides the Print-
groove POD Driver which enables you to convert native file jobs to JDF/PDF
files and then send them directly to the selected Printgroove POD module for
processing.
