JobInfoLog (monitoring of job processing)

RIP and print simultaneously/automatically

• Printing the job while RIP process is running
• RIP/print automatically executable

Various options for job processing

• Reproduction of already printed jobs without a new RIP process
• Processed print jobs are optionally deleted automatically (different options possible)
• Automatic pause after each print job / manual confirmation of the release for each print job

Flexible management of job queues

• Importing/Positioning jobs using Drag&Drop
• Simultaneous moving of multiple jobs within the job, RIP and printer queue
• Job sorting according to numerous criteria possible, free definition of column type/number, automatic placement of new jobs to the correct position within the queue

Quick assignment of hotfolder settings

• Transfer of hotfolder settings to individual jobs via mouse click
• Possible for individual tabs as well as for all settings

Job duplication

• Duplicating jobs
• Creating links to other jobs

Sistemas operativos (64-Bit):

Requisitos mínimos de hardware:

Recomendado para utilizar una impresora:

Recomendado para utilizar varias impresoras:

Instalación y funcionamiento:

Interfaces compatibles (en función de las impresoras, dispositivos de medición y plotters de corte utilizados):

Uso en entornos virtualizados:

Licencias con soft key:

El funcionamiento del software ColorGATE en máquinas virtuales no está permitido con licencias con soft key.

Licencias con USB key:

Si la solución de virtualización admite USB, el software ColorGATE puede funcionar normalmente con licencias con USB key. Tenga en cuenta, sin embargo, que ColorGATE no puede proporcionar soporte para problemas que se produzcan en el contexto de la solución de virtualización. Puede haber restricciones cuando se conectan impresoras, dispositivos de medición o plotters de corte a través de USB. Además, los requisitos de hardware deben estar disponibles exclusivamente como recursos para la máquina virtual a fin de garantizar un funcionamiento de alto rendimiento del software. Por estos motivos, recomendamos utilizar los entornos virtualizados únicamente con fines de prueba.
