Introduction

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.

used by customers of your reprographics department to send you jobs.
