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.
