jobs to another print shop for production. This capability allows your business to process orders
efficiently and continue operations if one print shop cannot function due to power outage,
equipment failure, etc. Specifying one or more print shops as output devices will make them
available for selection on the Operator View page. This will enable operators to assign a job that is
routed to one print shop to be printed at a different print shop. This allows load balancing
between print shops or moving a job to another print shop that has the capabilities required to
produce the job. You will be prompted to choose a destination print shop from the Choose
Destination Print Shop

suggests, for example, that she intends to receive a 5,000 copies of a 100-page spiral
bound book on 8.5x11 white paper, with a glossy 100lb. four-color cover, full color,
etc.). Use for non-Fiery JDF outputs.

Process and Intent are the two main types of instructions gathered into a JDF job

ticket.

o

MIMEEncoded: Content file will be MIME encoded along with JMF and JDF and sent

through the connector to the output device.

HTTP: JMF message will have a link to the JDF file as a shared path URL and the JDF file

will have a link to the content file as a shared path/HTTP/HTTPS URL.

o

NTShared (Network Shared): Job ticket XML is embedded in the content file sent

through the connector to the output device.
