2.4.5 Custom Print DigiMaster 9110

UltraPrint supports a direct printing interface to output devices based on the
Kodak/Heidelberg DigiMaster 9110/E125/E150 printers. Custom Print uses FTP to transfer
images directly to the marking engine, and LPR to send printing instructions to the printing
subsystem control system (SCS). Since UltraPrint sends raw TIFF images to the print
engine, no processing by the RIP is necessary, and printing throughput is maximized.
The interface makes it easy to set up even the most complex print jobs. Point-and-click
selections for paper substitutions, sub-set finishing, and advanced options like cover mode,
separator sheets, non-printing inserts, and page selections shortcuts make Custom Print a
powerful front end to the DigiMaster Production Printing System.
Job templates 56 are saved and available for subsequent printing simplifying reprinting.

See Also: Selecting Job and Client ID 20 , Modifying the Paper Catalog 20 .
Selecting Job and Client ID

Custom Print sends files to the print device using a alphanumeric naming convention, or Job
ID, where the first four digits represent the job number, and the last four digits represent the
physical page number. Job ID numbers increment by one each time a job is printed using
Custom Print. The Job ID number can be reset at any time.
When using Custom Print from multiple workstations, adding a unique Client ID for each
workstation eliminates the possibility that a job sent from one workstation, could overwrite
pages in print jobs sent from another where Job ID numbers coincide. A Client ID is consists
of two alphanumeric characters, this identifier replaces the first two digits in the filename for
each page in a print job.
To reset the Job ID

2. Click Reset Job ID.
To set a Client ID
2. Type a two character alphanumeric sequence in the Client ID field.
IMPORTANT: Although a Client ID can contain numeric characters, this

should be avoided since using a numeric sequence could cause a naming
conflict with other jobs.
Modifying the Paper Catalog

Custom Print keeps a copy of the printer's paper catalog to use for selecting page-level
paper substitutions. The catalog must be synchronized when a printer is first configured, or

when changes are made to the printer's paper catalog.
IMPORTANT: Paper catalog names are case sensitive. If printing to multiple

printers define the same paper catalog at each printer to make job templates
portable and prevent printing errors.

3.2 Creating a Print Job

A print job is simply a container that holds links pointing to original source files. Print jobs
can include one or more files of any supported file type 34 . Since a print job contains links
and not actual files, source documents can be shared among multiple print jobs. Changes to
a source document are reflected in each print job that links to a specific file.
NOTE: When Unique Destination On New Book 14 is set, TIFF image files are
shared between books; other files linked to multiple print jobs are rendered
individually for each print job.
The final component in each print job is a job template 56 describing how an individual job
should be printed, and to which output device the print job should be sent. This Extensible
Markup Language (XML) based template is saved as part of each print job. The template is
created automatically during job setup and printing.
To create a print job
1. Click New Book on the toolbar.

2. From the Look in list, click the drive, folder, or other location where you want to
create the print job.
3. Type a File name for the print job, and then click Open.
3.2.1 Adding Files

Any number of files including a mixed combination of supported file formats 35 can be

included in a print job.

To add files to a print job
1. Click Add Page on the toolbar.

2. From the Look in list, click the drive, folder, or other location that contains the file you
want to add.
3. Select the file(s), and then click Open.
TIP: Add multiple files at once by pressing CTRL or SHIFT while using the
mouse to select files.

Supported File Formats

· Tagged Image File Format (TIFF). A common format for exchanging raster (bitmapped)
images, TIFF images are native to UltraPrint and are minimally processed before sending
to the selected output device.
· Portable Document Format (PDF). A file type created by Adobe for distribution of
documents such that their formatting and design would be preserved and look the same
on any system. PDF files are interpreted using AltoScript and converted to a raster image
before sending to the selected output device.
· PostScript (PS) and Encapsulated PostScript (EPS). PostScript is a page-description
language (PDL) developed by Adobe Systems for printing with laser printers.
Encapsulated PostScript files are based on the PostScript language, and can contain both
vector and bitmap graphics. EPS is supported by most illustration and page-layout
programs. Both formats can be interpreted using either UltraScript or AltoScript and are
converted to a raster image before sending to the selected output device
· Printer Command Language (PCL). A page-description language (PDL) developed by
Hewlett-Packard for early ink-jet printers, PCL is used in many of today's thermal and laser
printers. PCL files are interpreted using UltraScript and converted to a raster image before
sending to the selected output device.
· Page Meta Language (PML). Job Templates 56 created using Image Arranger. PML files
contain information describing page characteristics like whether the page may be a tab,
marked for 3-hole punching, or marked as a color page. These descriptions may be used
by Custom Print 57 to automate, or visually select paper substitutions and other output
specific settings.

3.9 Job Setup and Printing

3.9.1 Page Setup
Page Setup allows you define attributes that are applied to your print job when output. These
attributes include page size and orientation, scaling, headers, footers, numbering, layout,
and other options. Page setup attributes are automatically saved each time you save a print
job 35 , and restored when the document is reopened.

Paper Size, Orientation, and Margins

Select orientation and paper size for printing from a list of standard sizes. Selecting a paper
orientation or size overrides the actual properties of the pages being printed.
Each page is printed inside an area defined by page margins. Margins define the amount of
space between the edge of the page and the page's content. You can enter measurements
for each of the four margins and specify whether content outside those boundaries is
truncated, or scaled to fit 45 within.
NOTE: If the currently selected printer defines a non-printable area, those

measurements are used as a minimum margin when printing regardless of
measurements you define.
To select paper size, orientation, and margins

1. In the Printer area on the Job Info 26 tab, click Setup.
2. Select Paper Size and Orientation.
3. Type the desired Margins.
NOTE: If Fit to Page 45 is not selected, only that portion of the original page
that fits within the margins will print.

Background Images and Watermarks

You can add a background image to all the pages in a print job. By using a light gray or
screened image a watermark can be created. The image is applied as a transparent overlay
at output.
To add a background image
1. In the Overlay File area on the Job Info 26 tab, click Browse.
2. Browse to the image file you wish to use, and then click Open.
NOTE: The Background Image File must be TIFF image and the same physical
dimensions as the intended output.

Advanced Page Setup Options

Page Layout and Impositioning
Page Layout lets you select the layout for the entire document. Specialize layouts are
available including 4-page and 8-page signature booklets, n-up configurations, and business
cards.
To select a page layout

2. Select the Layout tab, and do one of the following:

To Do this...
Print 1 image per page (default) · Select 1 up
Print 2 images per page · Click 2 up
· Choose a layout pattern
Print 4 images per page · Click 4 up
Print Signature Booklets · Click Booklet
· Select Reverse Layout if original
document is in reverse order
Print Business Cards · Click Business Card
3. Type the amount of Vertical and Horizontal Spacing (gutters) to be added between
images.
4. Select Border to draw a thin line between each image.
Automatically Detect Paper Size

With automatic page size detection, both actual page size and orientation are sent to the
output device during printing. This allows printing mixed page size or orientation, and
automatic recognition of special pages such as tabs when printing to devices that support
such output.
To select automatic orientation and page size
2. Select the Layout tab, and click Automatic output source selection.
NOTE: When Automatic output source selection is selected, Paper Size and
Orientation 42 settings are ignored.
Scale a Document to Fit On Different Page Sizes

UltraPrint lets you scale a document for printing to a paper size other that the original
document's page size. This is especially useful when printing to certain page layouts 44
where the page may need to be scaled prior to printing. For example, printing letter size
originals using a booklet layout 44 , output to Letter size pages in a landscape orientation 42 .
When you scale a document for printing, the changes only occur when the print
job is actually output.
To scale to fit page


2. Select the Layout tab, and click Fit to page.
Headers and Footers

Headers and Footers, including numbering, can be applied on-the-fly at time of output. This
means the application of data like page numbering, does not inhibit the use of a document in
some other context where such data may not be appropriate. Using this method, addition of
content or late-stage revision that changes the number of pages in a document, requires no
change to numbering.
In addition to static text and automatic numbering, date and time can be automatically
inserted. Text can be inserted at any or all three alignment points (left, center, right), and is
placed on the page according to margin values. Header and footer position can alternate on
odd and even pages.

To add headers and footers

2. Click Advanced, and then click the Headers/Footers tab.
3. Click next to the Header or Footer box, and select Left, Center, or Right
alignment.
4. Type desired text and use to insert field variables in the Header or Footer fields
immediately after the alignment variable.

Numbering
Numbering can be applied as a header or footer field variable, or by using sequential

numbering overlays 66 . Generally, numbering using a header or footer is best for applying
page numbers, simple sequential numbering, or Bates stamping. Sequential numbering
overlays are better choice for more sophisticated applications like serialized form or N-up
ticket layouts, multi-part document page numbering, or more complex Bates stamping. The
table below compares the capabilities of both methods.
TIP: Use a combination of both numbering methods to meet the

requirements of complex numbering applications.

3.9.2 Printing
UltraPrint provides many flexible printing options to help you create, set-up, and submit print
jobs ranging from simple jobs made from a single file, to large jobs consisting of multiple
files with complex insertions, page exceptions, and other settings. Print jobs may include
dissimilar file formats of varying resolution, color space, or number of pages.
You can submit print jobs in their entirety, or select and print a subset of files from any print
job. UltraPrint can submit a print job as multiple parts to prevent overloading a print spooler,
or to simulate subset operations like finishing or chapters on output devices that do not offer
such functions.
UltraPrint can also function as a print file downloader. Files expressed using a page
description language (PDL) like PostScript (PS) or Portable Document Format (PDF) can
be sent as a raw print stream 64 to output devices with built in Raster Image Processors
(RIP) capable of interpreting such formats.
There are several ways to select print settings and submit a print job to an output device.
Following is a summary of the advantages and disadvantages associated with each method.
Printer Driver
You can use the printer driver provided by the manufacturer of the output device and select
print settings using the interface provided by the driver.
Advantages
· Typically offers most complete set of functionality for a specific device.
Disadvantages
· May be difficult to use.

· Selecting standard options like collating or two-sided printing may require you to go
though several layers of menus or tabs to access.
· Simple tasks like selecting page exceptions may require manually typing page
numbers or ranges.
Custom Print Common

You can use Custom Print Common as a "friendlier" interface to the printer driver provided
by the manufacturer of the output device. Custom Print Common maps settings you select,
to driver specific functionality, and then prints to the output device through the printer driver.
Advantages
· Easy to use.
· Standard options like collating or two-sided printing available in single interface.
· Point-and-click method for selecting page exceptions and adding inserts.
· Provides a standard device interface across devices independent of manufacturer or
type
Disadvantages
· Some device functionality may not be available directly through this interface, however
the printer driver is accessible from Custom Print Common allowing you to select driver
specific settings.
Custom Print Digimaster 9110

Custom Print is an advanced printing interface for output devices based on the Heidelberg
Digimaster 9110. Image data is written directly to the System Control Subsystem (SCS). A
small set of Kodak Graphics Language (KGL) headers are created based on print settings
and selection and passed to the page definition language (pdl) interpreter.
Advantages
· Complete set of functionality for the Kodak/Heidelberg DigiMaster 9110/E125/E150
printers.
· Uses direct TIFF printing to maximize output speed.
· Standard options like collating or two-sided printing, and advanced options like covers,
or padded output are available in single interface.
· Easy to use, point-and-click method for selecting page exceptions, adding inserts and
programming the most complex print jobs.
Disadvantages
· Only available for the Kodak/Heidelberg DigiMaster 9110/E125/E150 printers.

Job Templates
Job templates are created for each print job as well as for each individual file in a print job.
When you select printer properties and settings 57 , or submit a print job 56 for output, these
templates are updated to reflect the changes you made. The template describes the page
setup 41 selections and settings chosen from the printer driver for the selected output
device, as well as information describing individual page characteristics like whether the
page may be a tab, marked for 3-hole punching, or marked as a color page.
Job templates describing job level settings are stored as Book Meta Language (BML) files,
while settings specific to an individual file are stored as Page Meta Language (PML) files.
Both formats are Extensible Markup Language (XML) based.
PML files may be added 34 or imported 36 directly to a print job resulting in the page
settings (exclusive of of printer driver settings) contained in the PML being inherited for that
file. This means that pages containing marks (color, tab, 3-hole, etc.) made using Image
Arranger are marked accordingly and may be easily selected for to set page-level properties
when using a Custom Print 57 interface for job submission.
See Also: Adding Files 34 , Importing Files 36 , Supported File Formats 35
Submitting a Print Job

To submit a print job to an output device
1. Select a Printer from the list on the Job Info 26 tab.
NOTE: Selecting the right print driver is important regardless of the method you
ultimately choose to provide printing services. You should select a PostScript
printer driver that matches the intended output device, even when using a
Custom Print 57 interface.
2. Select Page Setup 41 options.

3. In the Printer area on the Job Info 26 tab, type or select Copy Count.
To Do this...
Print using a print driver 1. Select Printer Properties and Settings 57 .
2. Select Print from the toolbar.
Print using Custom Print Common 1. Select Printer Properties and Settings 57 .
2. Select Custom Print Common 60 from

9110 from the toolbar.

Selecting Printer Properties and Settings

Before submitting a print job, select the properties and settings to determine the way
documents are printed. Options vary from printer to printer, but most printers allow the
following:
· Changing the layout orientation of a page by choosing portrait or landscape.
· Changing the number of copies that are printed.
· Choosing to print on both the front and back of the paper.
· Selecting the tray to print from, such as the manual feed tray or an envelope feeder.
· Choosing the material to print on, whether it is card stock, transparency, labels, and so
on.
TIP: See the documentation for your output device for more information.
To select printer properties and settings

1. In the Printer area on the Job Info 26 tab, select Setup.
2. From Page Setup 41 select Printer, and then click Properties.
3. Choose the desired properties and settings.
NOTE: Printer properties and settings for the selected printer affect output
when you submit a print job using the print driver directly (except when
submitting raw print streams 64 ), or when using the Custom Print Common
interface.
Using Custom Print

Custom Print is an advanced printing interface that simplifies the selection of print options
and settings for even the most advanced print job. Settings can be applied quickly to entire
documents, or selected pages within a document by using the mouse to select pages in the
page selector and then specifying the desired options. Page exceptions can be easily made
without requiring you to type confusing and error-prone page range specifiers. Print settings,
including driver specific options are saved as a individual job templates for reuse during
subsequent submission of a print job. Three Custom Print interfaces are available:
· Custom Print Common. This interface is available for all printers. Selections made
using this interface are converted to driver specific calls and submitted to the output
device using the selected printer driver. Some device options may not be directly
available using this method, but may be set using the printer driver's properties from
the Custom Print Common advanced printing interface.
· Custom Print Ricoh RPCS. This interface is available for output devices that use the
Ricoh Refined Printing Command Stream (RPCS) driver.
· Custom Print DigiMaster 9110. This interface is available for output devices based

on the Kodak/Heidelberg DigiMaster 9110/E125/E150 printers. Pages are sent directly

to the marking engine, accompanied by printing instructions specific to the device. No
processing by the RIP is necessary, and printing throughput is maximized.
Point-and-click selections for paper substitution, unlimited sub-set finishing, and
advanced options like padding make Custom Print a powerful printing tool.
Using Custom Print is generally the same regardless of the output device. Follow the steps
below to use the Custom Print interface. Refer to the following pages for specific information
about each output device.
To use Custom Print
1. Select a print job, file, or range of files.
2. Click a Custom Print device on the toolbar.

3. Select global Print Setings.
4. Select pages and choose Page Level Settings.
5. Insert Blank Pages if desired.
o Click OK to save settings.
o Click Print to save settings and print.
NOTE: Select global Print Settings first to avoid overwriting Page Level Settings.
Mapping Catalog Media to Printer Media

Since media definitions vary among output devices, dissimilar types and descriptions must
be mapped to media available on the target device prior to output using a Custom Print
interface. For example, a medium or form called "8 1/2x11 Tab" on one device may be
called simply "Tab" on another.
If Custom Print cannot determine how to match such media, you will be prompted to map
existing definitions to media available on the selected output device. This is often necessary
when using Custom Print for the first time after selecting a new output device for an existing
print job.

To map catalog media to printer media

1. Select an undefined medium on the left side.
2. Select a an available definition on the right side.
3. Click Map Media.
NOTE: Media that cannot be mapped to an available type on the target device
is automatically mapped to the default media as defined by the printer driver
To remove or change media mappings
1. Click Map from Custom Print.

2. Under Mapped Media, select a mapping definition.

3. Click Remove.
4. If desired, follow the steps in the previous section to create a new mapping.
Custom Print Common

Custom Print Ricoh RPCS
Custom Print Digimaster

Custom Print provides advanced printing interface to the Canon iR110 or Heidelberg
Digimaster 9110 marking engine. With Custom Print, and through the use of Kodak
Graphics Language (KGL) headers, image data can be written directly to the System Control
Subsystem (SCS), bypassing page definition language (PDL) interpretation. The KGL
header alone is quickly interpreted, and makes reference to the image files that are then
passed directly to the marking engine.

Submitting Individual Files

In addition to printing complete print jobs, you can submit individual files separately from
their containing print job. Each file is submitted using the page setup selections of the
containing print job.
To submit individual files
1. Select one or more files.
To Do this...
Print using a print driver 1. Select Printer Properties and Settings 57 .
Print using Custom Print Common 1. Select Printer Properties and Settings 57 .
2. Select Custom Print Common 60 from
the toolbar.
Print using Custom Print Ricoh RPCS · Select Custom Print Ricoh RPCS 61
from the toolbar.

Print using Custom Print Digimaster · Select Custom Print Digimaster 9110 61
9110 from the toolbar.

NOTE: Custom Print is not available when selecting files from multiple print
jobs.
Submitting Multi Part Print Streams

Print jobs made up of multiple files are normally sent to an output device as a single print
stream. UltraPrint can send a print job as multiple print streams by sending each file as a
single print job. This method offers the following advantages:
· Large print jobs are submitted in "chunks" effectively throttling communication to the
output device. This may reduce bottlenecks or storage overflow at the destination.
Some jobs might otherwise be impossible to print.
· Copy count can be set for each individual file.
· Subset finishing can be simulated on devices that do not offer such functionality
through the device driver. For example, if a stapling feature is selected for a file within
a print job, but not selected for the containing print job, only a portion of that print job
will be stapled.
· Page setup options can be applied individually to each file independently of the
containing print job. You can select different headers/footers to create sub-section
page numbering, choose differing layouts or orientation, or create separate overlays
for each section.
To submit a multi-part print stream
1. Select printer properties and settings 57 and copy count 63 independently for each
file.
2. In the Printer Output Options area on the Job Info 26 tab, select Multi Part Print
Job.
Setting Copy Count for Part

Copy count can be set for any file independently of the containing print job, or other files
within a print job. This count is used only when submitting complete print jobs or individual
files with Mutli Part Print Job 63 selected.
To set copy count
1. Select one or more files.
2. Type or select Copy count.
3. Click Set PML Copies.

Resetting Print Job Options

You can restore print job properties and settings across each individual file. Print job
properties and settings including copy count defined for the containing print job are applied
to each file in the print job.
To reset print job options
1. Select the containing print job.
2. Click BML --> PML, and then click Yes.
Submitting Raw Print Streams

There are times when it may be desirable to send raw Page Description Language (PDL)
data to an output device. For example, a large full-color PostScript or PDF document that
requires no change or other manipulation may be sent directly to a full-color output device
capable of rendering such files. In this scenario, UltraPrint functions as a print file
downloader.
To submit a raw print stream
1. In the Printer Output Options area on the Job Info 26 tab, select Raw.
Managing Current Print Jobs

Print jobs submitted during the current UltraPrint session flow through and remain available
in a processed state. Use the Job Monitor 28 to cancel spooling, resubmit a print job without
re-rendering or spooling, or remove all processed print jobs.
Working with Full Color

UltraPrint supports output to full color output devices. Full color Tagged Image File Format
(TIFF) images are always rendered as full color when submitted to a full color output device.
Print ready formats like PostScript (PS) and Portable Document Format (PDF) can be sent
to the viewer or to an output device as black and white (default) or full color.
To enable full color output
· In the Attributes area on the Info tab, select Render as RGB.
Separating B&W and Full Color Output

When working with print jobs containing both black and white, and full color documents,
UltraPrint can split the print job between two printers sending black and white pages to a
Kodak/Heidelberg DigiMaster 9110/E125/E150 printer, and pages containing color to a full
color output device.
UltraPrint lets you specify a color 'threshold' to filter pages with minimal color data. This
helps to reduce printing costs by diverting pages with little color data to the monochrome
output device.
The Image Viewer 31 tab lists the Percent Color for the page currently being viewed. After

sampling several representative pages in a print job, you can determine the color threshold
for color split.
To print using color split

1. In the Printer Output Options area on the Job Info tab, select the Color Split check
box.
2. Click next to the Color Split check box.
3. Select a Color Printer, and then click to select printer properties and options 57 .
4. Select Color Split options.
Color Split Options

Specify options that determine whether a page is sent to the monochrome or full-color
printer.

3.10 Advanced Operation

3.10.1 Merging Variable Data
Use UltraPrint to merge variable data when you want to print a large number of documents
that include some unique information. For example, you can use a text overlay to create a
product announcement to send to your customers. The customer names and addresses are
stored in a data source that is overlayed on each letter in a specified region. One set of
documents in output for each record in the data source. The body of the document is the
same, but the name and address are different for each customer.
Overlays can also be used to apply variable numbering, or ‘annotation’, using a format
pattern you define. The pattern specifies the beginning and end of the sequence, the width
of the numbering field (padded with zeros), and the amount to increment the sequence with
each successive iteration. Annotation can be used to generate unique form numbers, or
sequences of any type.
Preparing Data Sources for Overlay

You can use any text file that has data fields separated (or delimited) by a character like a
comma, grouped into data records separated by a second character. UltraPrint supports end
of line, tab, semi-colon, colon, comma, and vertical bar as delimiters. The character selected
to delimit data fields must be different than the character selected to delimit data records.
Many 3rd party applications including Microsoft Excel, and most database applications can
export data to a delimited format like Comma Separated Values (CSV) shown in the
example below.
ATTICUS FINCH,2200 SUMMIT AVE,EUGENE OR 97403

RED FOREMAN,1700 MILLRACE DR,EUGENE OR 97403

Defining Text Overlays

After preparing a data source for overlay, define the overlay position based on
measurements from the top and left edge of the page, and select the font, alignment, and
other overlay settings.

To create a text overlay

1. Select Text File and type a File Name, or browse to locate the file containing variable
data.
2. Select Field and Record delimiters from each list to specify the character used to
separate fields.
3. Click More to select a Font.
4. Under Position, type Left, Top, Right, and Bottom measurements to define the
region where the data will be placed on the page.
NOTE: Position is defined as measurements in inches from the top or left edge
of the page.
5. Select Alignment to specify how the text should be placed within the region.
6. Type or select the page where the overlay should Start and Stop.
7. Select other Overlay Settings 68 as desired.

Overlay Settings
Several options are available to change the way overlay records are applied to the page,
mapped to multi-file print job, or submitted to the output device. The following list describes
the settings.

Modes Clip to Box Truncates data that does not fit within the region
defined by Position settings.
Opaque Create overlay with opaque background obscuring
underlying image area.
1-to-1 Sequentially matches each record in the data source to
Association a file in the print job.
Single Print Submits the entire print job as a single print stream to

The sequence can be incremented by any whole number, and formatted to a fixed width.
To generate a numeric sequence

1. Select Annotation, and then click Annotation Sequence Generator .
2. Type or select Start and End to define beginning and ending sequence numbers.
3. Type of select the amount to Increment each number in the sequence.
4. Type or select the Padding width of the sequence field.
NOTE: The sequence is prefixed with zeros when necessary to match the
Padding width.
5. Select other Overlay Settings 68 as desired.

3.10.2 Queue-based and Cluster Printing

UltraPrint supports the creation of a single ‘Active Queue’. This queue is made available
through one or more shared Window printers using the Alto TIFF driver, enabling remote
printing from any network accessible device that can submit output to such a printer. This
makes the queue an ideal method for introducing documents into an UltraPrint workflow
directly from the native application, eliminating changes in pagination, or the need for font
substitution that sometimes occur during the rendering process.
The Active Queue can also have up to four printers attached and can serve as a rule-based
printing cluster.
Configuring the Active Queue

Before you begin, make sure you have...
· A shared folder to serve as the queue.
IMPORTANT: The share name must match the name you assign to the
queue in later steps.
The directory must be completely empty. Even the existence of hidden,

system files like Thumbs.db or
Desktop.ini will cause the creation process to fail.

To create a queue
1. Click Preferences on
the toolbar.
2. Select the Active Queue
tab.
3. Click New and type a
queue Name.
4. Type the path to the
Location of the folder you
previously shared.
5. Click OK.
6. Set the queue state 72 .
Selecting Queue Properites and Settings

Select up to four printers for use by the Active Queue. Page Setup options are set
individually for each printer. When print jobs are released from the queue, they print based
on queue rules beginning with the first printer in the list.
NOTE: These steps are not required if you are only using the Active Queue to
receive print jobs in the Hold state.
To add a printer
1. On the File menu, click Preferences, and then click the Active Queue tab.

2. Click Properties, and then click Add.

4. Select Page Setup 41 settings and options.
Setting Queue Rules

When submitting output to a printing cluster, UltraPrint uses a set of rules to determine how
print jobs are distributed among each printer. For each rule there is a Distribution Level and
a corresponding Threshold. The following table describes each rule set.

Distribution Level Threshold

Copy Number of copies requested
Page Number of pages in print job
Record Number of records for text overlay
Document Number of documents
Document Per Job Number of documents per job
Some rules may be further controlled based on a threshold levels and/or number of copies.
Setting the Queue State

The Active Queue supports three distinct states:
· Start. Jobs are immediately passed to the printer(s) attached to the queue.
· Hold. Jobs are held and appear in the queue. These jobs may be copied or moved
from the queue to a print job, or released to the printer(s) attached to the queue by
changing the queue state to Start.
· Stop. Jobs are not accepted.

To select the queue state

· Right-click the queue and select Start, Hold, or Stop.
Configuring the Printer Driver

Use the Alto TIFF Driver to print to the Active Queue. Multiple printer drivers can be used to
print into the queue. Print jobs appear in the queue with a numeric sequence and the printer
name prefixed to the filename.
To add the queue printer driver
1. Click Start , and then click Printers and Faxes.
2. Under Printer Tasks, click Add a printer, and then click Next to start the wizard

3. Click Local printer, and clear the Automatically detect and install my Plug and

9. Print a Test Page if desired, and Finish the Add Printer Wizard.
To configure the printer
1. Right click the printer, and then click Properties.
2. Click the Advanced tab, and clear the Enable advanced printing features check
box.
3. Select Printing Preferences and Printing Defaults as desired.
3.10.3 Other Printing Formats

Working With RDO Files
Raster Document Objects (RDO) are a proprietary printing format created using Xerox
DigiPath's Document Scan and Make Ready application. This format often requires the user
to continue operation and maintenance of expensive legacy Xerox duplicating equipment.
UltraPrint provides an alternative for continued use of existing RDOs and output to almost
any print device.
RDO documents are made up of several different components including Documents and
Pages:
· Documents serve as a container for all other components and can be identified by the
file extension *.rdo.
· Pages can be made up of one or more Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) images, and
may contain other file formats like PostScript (PS) and Portable Document Format
(PDF). When combined, or overlayed, these files make up the content of a single
page.

UltraPrint imports RDO documents produced using Xerox DigiPath version 3.x or earlier
(images only for documents created using version 3.x). After parsing the file and reading the
TIFF pages contained in the document, UltraPrint creates a print job using name from the
original RDO.
Import options include:
· Image Storage Control. Choose whether individual TIFF images are merged into a
single multi-image file or left as single images. Multi-image TIFF file can be created
for each section (tag-specified grouping of pages), named using the original RDO tag
label.
· Merge Overlay Control imports pages without merging overlays, significantly reducing
import time.
· Map File Import creates a map file using a paper catalog imported from a
Kodak/Heidelberg DigiMaster 9110/E125/E150.
Page exceptions (different stocks for selected pages) in the RDO document are matched to
the paper definitions in a map file 77 and an Extensible Markup Language (XML) job
template is created. The XML can be used as the basis for creating a Custom Print 61 job
template 56 for the Kodak/Heidelberg DigiMaster 9110/E125/E150 printer, mirroring page
exceptions and other specific print settings found in the original RDO.
See Also: RDO Import Options 76 , Custom Print DigiMaster 9110 17 , Using Custom Print
Digimaster 61
Importing RDO Files

There are two components necessary to import an RDO file, the RDO file itself, and a
matching folder with the extension 'con', that contains the actual images, overlays, and other
items that make up the whole document.
If you are importing an RDO named '2JJ3', the following example shows how the
components might be appear in a directory listing:
12/07/2007 02:30 PM <DIR> .

12/07/2007 02:30 PM <DIR> .
12/07/2007 02:30 PM <DIR> 2JJ3.con
12/07/2007 02:30 PM 234,086 2JJ3.rdo
To import an RDO file
1. Click Import RDO on the toolbar

– or –
On the File menu, point to Import File, and then click Paste.
2. Browse to locate the RDO file, and then click Open.

RDO Import Options

Several options are available to control how RDO files are treated during the import process.
Some controls affect the quality or speed of the import process, others determine how
images and overlays are merged.

See Also: Working With RDO Files 74
Importing and Editing the Map File

A map file contains information about paper types contained in the paper catalog of a
Kodak/Heidelberg DigiMaster 9110/E125/E150 printer.
During the import process, page exceptions found in an RDO are mapped to media
descriptions found in the map file. An Extensible Markup Language (XML) job ticket is
written and used to create a job template 56 , mirroring page exceptions and other specific
print settings found in the original RDO.
Page exceptions that do not match an entry in the map file are declared UNDEFINED and
added to the end of the map file. Undefined page exceptions list the original exception
attributes such as page size, stock, weight, etc. and can be resolved by editing the map file
matching the undefined exception to any media listed in the file.
To import the map file
1. Click the Import Map File button.
2. From the Look in list, select the drive, folder, or Internet location that contains the file
you want to open.
3. Select the file, and then click Open.
TIP: Paper catalogs are named using the following convention:

def_media_catalog.mc[1..9]. Paper catalogs can be found in C:\Program
Files\Alto Imaging Common\Templates\9110\ after Custom Print 17 has
been configured.

Resolving Undefined Page Exceptions

Unless resolved, undefined page exceptions are printed using the default media or paper.
Resolving undefined page exceptions lets you match the original page exception to an
existing media description available in the paper catalog.
To edit the map file

1. Click the Edit Mapping File button. The map file opens in the default editor.
2. Change the name UNDEFINED to an existing media name listed in the map file.
TIP: Deleting a Custom Print template will cause the RDO page exceptions
to be 're-mapped' to paper types found in the map file. This is handy if you
edit the map file and want to refresh the Custom Print template.
