Setting up an output destination

In the Copy Output To section, you define whether to copy the output file and to specify the output files' destination.

The available destinations are set up by the administrator in the Destinations section of the uProduce Settings page.

For information on primary and secondary destinations, contact your administrator.

Select Copy Output file options as follows:

  • No Copying

  • All to Primary Destination: All output streams are sent to a single location, defined by the Primary Destination option. All assets are embedded in the output file.

  • Separate to Primary and Secondary Destinations: The main output stream is copied to the Primary Destination. The main output includes the code and references to job files. All other job files (for example, assets and resources) are copied to the Secondary Destination. These files are shared among all output for the specified document.

  • Primary Destination: Choose one of the uProduce destinations as your main destination. You can then copy all output streams, or just the main stream, to this destination. The primary destination can be any of the following: an FTP site, a network path, a network printer ( which can also be used be used as a printer queue for the FreeFlow Output Manager mechanism), Xerox FreeFlow Print Manager (which provides an Automatic Submission functionality).

    If you choose FreeFlow Print Manager as a destination, you are prompted to select a printer queue. ClickRefresh Queuesto retrieve any new queues that were defined for the Digital Front End.

    If you want to use an automatic submission mechanism for the main print output file, make sure to set the primary destination to a hot folder or a virtual printer.

  • Secondary Destination: If you prefer to divide the output between different destinations, you need to define a Secondary Destination.

    The secondary destination can be only a network destination, and is available exclusively for uncompressed output.

    The main output stream is copied to the primary destination, while all other job files (for example, assets and resources) are copied to the secondary destination.

    If you want to use an automatic submission mechanism for the main Print Output file, make sure to set the Secondary Destination option to a location that is defined on the print server to accommodate referenced job files.

    If you are using a VIPP format, set Secondary Destination on the printer server to  X:\xgfc\projects, where X is a local drive, for example, C:\xgfc\projects

    When referenced job files are copied into the secondary destination, uProduce creates a subfolder, named after the project, and copies the files into this

  • Copy Assets: Copies the assets (dynamic images referenced by content objects) to a remote destination. Copy assets are relevant only for VPS, VIPP and PPML output formats.

  • Copy Resources:  Copies resources (static images referenced by the document) to a remote destination. Relevant only for VPS, VIPP and PPML output formats.

  • Delete Output After Copying: Deletes the print output file from the uProduce server after it has been copied to the specified destinations. This option is useful for saving disk space.

  • Job Priority: When submitting either a process job or a proof job, you can determine its priority. Priority controls the order of the job in the waiting queue. It can also be used to interrupt currently running jobs in favor of a rush job. Select one of the four priority options:

  • Immediately: Submit a rush job (the default option for proof jobs). The job is processed immediately. If all production instances are busy, one of the currently running jobs is paused in favor of processing the rush job immediately. If all instances are currently handling jobs set to Immediately, the job is placed at the top of the waiting queue until one of the instances becomes available.

  • Normal: Submit the job with a normal priority, the default option for process jobs. The job is placed among other normal jobs in the waiting queue.

  • High: Submit the job with a high priority. The job is placed at the top area of the waiting queue.

  • Low: Submit the job with a low priority. The job is submitted to the lowest level of the waiting queue.
