Processing jobs
The EFI Splash RPX-iii includes the following options for processing print jobs.
RIP-While-Print
Automatic RIP-While-Print reduces print wait time by ensuring that the EFI Splash RPX-iii
is never idle while jobs are present. RIP-While-Print tracks all print jobs, including jobs that
are in transit to the EFI Splash RPX-iii, and directs Adobe CPSI (Configurable PostScript
Interpreter) processing of jobs, where the currently processing job has the highest priority.
RIP-While-Receive
Automatic RIP-While-Receive reduces print wait time by ensuring that the EFI
Splash RPX-iii is never idle while print jobs are present. RIP-While-Receive tracks all print
jobs, including jobs that are in transit to the EFI Splash RPX-iii, and directs CPSI processing.
The currently processing job has the highest priority and is completed first, regardless of
whether another job has been spooled.
NOTE: In environments where very large jobs are printed, consider disabling RIP-While-
Receive to allow small jobs to print before large jobs finish spooling. Disable RIP-WhileReceive by using the Server Preference on the Network pane.
If an error occurs, a job is moved to the Error queue when spooling finishes. You can restart
the job when the error is corrected. It is not necessary to resend the job from the client.
RIP-Across-Jobs
The EFI Splash RPX-iii automatically begins RIPping a second job as soon as the first job
finishes RIPping. It does not wait for the first job to finish printing.
Instant Reprint
Instant Reprint allows RIPped files to print repeatedly without RIPping the job for each
repetition. Jobs with an “I” shown in the print queue Info-Detailed field print without
reRIPping.
NOTE: Instant Reprint is a EFI Splash RPX-iii server function and requires no action from the
user. Changing some job settings may cause the job to reRIP. For a list of these settings, see
page 33.
USING THE EFI SPLASH RPX-iii 35
Print Consecutive Jobs
The EFI Splash RPX-iii starts printing the next available job immediately. The EFI
Splash RPX-iii does not require the digital press to cycle down before printing the next job.
If a job does not become available within 30 seconds, the EFI Splash RPX-iii cycles down the
digital press.
Checking job errors
The EFI Splash RPX-iii provides the following features for checking for job errors before
printing: Preflight, Color Postflight, and Job Error controls. You can find out if errors exist in
a file by using Preflight. To identify the elements in the file that are causing the problem, use
Color Postflight. To print error reports and to define whether or not to print jobs with errors,
use the Job Error control.
Preflight
The Preflight feature allows you to examine jobs before they print for potential problems, and
produces a viewable and printable text report. Potential problems include the following:
• PostScript errors
• Missing fonts and font substitutions
• Color mode of each item (RGB, CMYK, Spot) in the file
•Page size
• Spot colors not defined by the EFI Splash RPX-iii
TO SCREEN A JOB FOR POTENTIAL ERRORS
1 Select the job in the print queue and choose Preflight from the Jobs menu.
The job is moved to the Active queue for preflight processing, then moved to the bottom of
the Hold queue when processing is complete.
2 Choose Show Preflight from the Jobs menu.
The Preflight Results dialog box appears.
3 Click Print to print a hardcopy report.
4 Click OK to exit.
You can now use the Preflight report to identify and fix any errors.
If a job in the Error queue passes Preflight inspection, the job moves to the bottom of the
Hold queue.
USING THE EFI SPLASH RPX-iii 36
Color Postflight
The Color Postflight feature allows you to determine where problems are. When you run a
Color Postflight check, a color-coded printout of the file is produced.
TO RUN A POSTFLIGHT CHECK
• Select the job in the print queue and choose Color Postflght from the Jobs menu.
• Select the job in the print queue and click the Color Postflight icon in the toolbar.
• With the job open, select Postflight and Hold on the File Handling tab of the printer driver.
The job is moved to the Active queue for preflight processing and printing, and then moved
back to the Hold queue when processing and printing are complete. As the job is processing, a
preview of the Postflight is displayed in the Preview window.
In the printed Postflight of the job, all CMYK data (text, graphics, and images) prints in cyan,
all RGB data prints in Red, all Spot data prints in yellow, and all grayscale data prints in
grayscale.
If you decide to convert one mode of color data to another, for instance, CMYK to Spot color,
use the Color Tuner application. For more information about Color Tuner, see the
Color Guide.
Postflight Report
Postflight Report generates a PDF that includes a 72-dpi preview of the Color Postflight
output, along with the information from the Preflight Report. The generated PDF is
automatically saved to a Postflight Reports folder on the Splash RPX-ii Macintosh desktop.
TO CREATE A POSTFLIGHT REPORT
• Select the job in the print queue and choose Postflight Report from the Jobs menu.
• With the job open, select Postflight Report and Hold on the File Handling tab of the printer
driver.
Job Error report
The EFI Splash RPX-iii allows you to screen a job for potential errors and print an error
report.
USING THE EFI SPLASH RPX-iii 37
TO PRINT AN ERROR REPORT
1 Select the job in the Splash Server window and choose Preflight from the Jobs menu.
The job move temporarily to the Active queue for preflight processing. If the job is in the
Error queue and passes preflight inspection, it moves to the bottom of the Hold queue.
2 When processing is complete, select the job in the Hold queue and choose Show Preflight
from the Jobs menu.
3 Select Print in the Preflight window to print preflight report.
For more information, see page 109 and the Configuration Guide.
Job Error Handling
Job Error Handling allows administrators to specify how to handle jobs that contain problems
and may not print correctly. This allows administrators to automatically prevent jobs from
printing with undesirable output or to generate an alert for potential problems.
For each error type, the administrator can configure one of the following:
•
Ignore: Ignore the error and print the job following the normal File Handling settings.
•
Warn: Print the job and return it to the Error queue with a warning message describing the
problem.
•
Error: Do not print the job and return it to the Error queue with an error message
describing the problem.
For example, in a work environment where jobs are sent to different printers, fonts not
embedded may result in an inaccurate proof if the font is resident on the Splash Server,
but not actually included (embedded) in the job. The administrator can set the category
“Font not included in job” to Error, which generates a report of the missing font, or to Warn,
which allows the job to print and return it to the Error queue with a warning message
describing the problem.
The Splash Server searches for errors in the following categories or conditions:
Problem category/condition Default Notes
RGB Colors Ignore
Spot Colors Ignore
Spot Color not defined Warn
NOTE: Unknown Spot Colors report
warning or error for both Composite and
Separations files.
USING THE EFI SPLASH RPX-iii 38
Problem category/condition Default Notes
Media Type not calibrated Ignore
Untagged RGB colors Ignore
No Output Intent on PDF/X-3 file Ignore

ADVANCED FEATURES OF THE EFI SPLASH RPX-iii
This chapter describes some of the advanced job management tools provided on the
EFI Splash RPX-iii. These features include the following:
•Tray Alignment
•Print Info/Control Strip
• Secure Access
• Screening Preferences
• Job Log Options
• Imposition
NOTE: If you do not log on to the EFI Splash RPX-iii with Administrator privileges, some
commands in each menu may be disabled or View only.
Tray Alignment
Tray Alignment allows you to set vertical and horizontal print offsets that result in the
accurate alignment of print margins and crop marks, for single-sided jobs or duplex jobs.
The offsets are different for Side 1/simplex and Side 2. When you first open the Tray
Alignment dialog box, Side 2 is automatically selected. To align both sides, align Side 1,
and then align Side 2.
NOTE: You do not have to align Side 1 before aligning Side 2. Unless Side 1 is noticeably
offset, you can proceed directly to aligning Side 2.
Tray Alignment supports the configuration of individual offsets for each tray. You can send
duplex jobs in automatic duplex mode to any tray.
NOTE: Align Side 1 to correct small offsets that occur during normal printing. If offsets for
Side 1 are greater than a few pixels, service the digital press. Clipping can occur with large
offsets.
ADVANCED FEATURES OF THE EFI SPLASH RPX-iii 40
TO SET TRAY ALIGNMENT
1 Choose Tray Alignment from the File Menu.
2 Click Side 1 and select a tray.
NOTE: If the front side of the pages in your job is centered to your satisfaction and all you
want to do is perform duplex alignment, proceed directly to the instructions for Side 2, which
start in step 9.
The Paper Size and Media Type are selected automatically.
3 Click Test to print a Test Page.
4 Follow the instructions on the page to determine and enter the offset values in Feed
Direction and Cross Direction.
5 Click Verify and examine the printed target.
6 If the printed target is out of alignment, adjust the values.
7 Repeat steps 4 through 6, as necessary.
8 Click Update when the correct alignment is achieved.
9 To align for a duplex job, click Side 2.
ADVANCED FEATURES OF THE EFI SPLASH RPX-iii 41
10 Select a tray.
The Paper Size and Media Type are selected automatically.
11 Repeat steps 3 through 8.
Tray alignment features
The following features in the Tray Alignment dialog box allow you to configure and print
simplex and duplex jobs.
•
Test Patt ern: Helps determine the offset values needed to center the output on a simplex
page and to properly align both sides of a duplex job. Select a tray, and then click Test.
A test pattern is printed using the offset values of “0” pixels for both the vertical and
horizontal offsets. The test pattern contains instructions for determining the correct offset
values, depending on whether you are performing alignment for Side 1 (simplex) or Side 2
(duplex). For simplex, measure the target with a ruler and calculate the adjustment, or
make a visual judgment of whether the output on the target is centered. For duplex, you
must align the patterns on both sides of the pages with each other.
•
Verification Pattern: Displays the effects of the offset values. After you enter the horizontal
and vertical offset values, verify the results by clicking Verify. The verification target prints,
using the offset values that you entered. Review the printed target. If it is not properly
centered or aligned, adjust the values.
NOTE: To update the offset values without printing a verification target, select the appropriate
tray, and then click Update.
•
Specify Offsets: The minimum Offset Value is -999 and the maximum is +999. If you
enter an offset that would cause a particular page size to print the margins outside the print
area, the margin is automatically changed to the maximum value. For example, the left
margin is -70 pixels. If you enter a value of -100 for the alignment offset, the margin is
changed to -70 for the duplex job. The Tray Alignment setting remains -100. If no offset
value is entered for a tray, the default alignment offset value is set to zero.
NOTE: If the Tray Alignment for Side 2 on the printer is extremely out of alignment, the test
pattern target may produce a false match and the verify target will not line up at 0, 0. In this
case, adjust the offsets manually until the verify target lines up at 0, 0.
Print Info
ADVANCED FEATURES OF THE EFI SPLASH RPX-iii 42
The Print Info feature allows you to print an information strip on a job. This assists in
tracking job settings used on different outputs of the same file and routing output back to the
originator. The information is printed on the top or bottom of the page, depending on the
location selected, and on every page of the job. When you set up Print Info preferences, you
can enable the Control Strip. The Control Strip is a set of color control patches on the edge of
the output.
Configuring Print Info
The configuration of Print Info determines content and location of the Print Info Strip.
To enable the Print Info Strip for a job, see page 44.
• To configure Print Info, choose Print Info from the Server menu.
The Print Info dialog box appears.
Page Handling allows you to use the Promote Page Size option to print the job on the next
largest paper size available. Although the job is printed centered on the page, it is not scaled
to the new paper size.
NOTE: Selecting Force Paper Size from Job Options overrides this feature.
Crop Marks prints crop marks around the original image paper size of the job. If the Invert
option is selected and there is no room on the page to print the crop marks outwardly, the
crop marks are drawn into the page. If Invert is cleared and there is no room on the page to
print crop marks outwardly, crop marks do not print.
ADVANCED FEATURES OF THE EFI SPLASH RPX-iii 43
Info Strip allows you to set the location where the Print Info Strip prints (top or bottom of
page), and the font size of the type.
NOTE: The Control Strip prints at the bottom of the page regardless of the Info Strip position
setting.
Print Preferences allow you to specify the information that is printed on the Info Strip.
The defaults are User Name, Job Name, Job Comment, and Date and Time of RIP.
Other options you can customize are:
•Original Page Size
• Page Number of Total Pages
• Spool File Size
•Server Name
• Color Correction Settings (which include RGB, CMYK, Spot Color settings and output
profile names, if applicable)
• Calibration Name
• Last Calibrated Time (indicates the last calibration time for the particular media, which
may not be the last time any media was calibrated)
• Percent Enlarged/Reduced
• Spot Colors (unknown spot colors are shown with an X through them or as black,
depending on how the original was printed)
NOTE: Only the preferences you select are printed. If you do not select a preference in
Print Preferences, a placeholder is not printed on the page.
Control Strip allows you to enable the Control Strip and to specify options for it, including
Color Patches, Gray Balance, EPS file (name of file), and Height. The Control Strip image
overwrites the job image if it occupies the same part of the page. The Control Strip does not
print on paper sizes smaller than Letter.
NOTE: The EFI Splash RPX-iii provides a standard Control Strip, which can be replaced with
any other EPS formatted file.

the center of the output sheet so that when folded at the center and trimmed, it forms a
booklet.
•
Saddle options
– Section Size defines the number of input pages to print in a Saddle-Stitch layout.
This feature is enabled only when Saddle-Stitch is selected. All of the pages in a single
section are folded together as a group. For example, a 96-page document with 16-page
sections has six sections, each of which would be folded and then combined with the
other sections to create the booklet. Among other reasons to use this option is the fact
that if you use Saddle Stitch on a long document, the inmost pages stick out and
cannot be trimmed to create a flat edge for the booklet without losing page content.
For booklets which will be stapled and folded, or which will use a cover, the only
Section Size allowed is All. For booklets which will only be folded, you can select a
Section Size to match the number of sheets you want folded in a group.
–
Cover allows you to specify a cover on the front, a cover on the back, a cover on the
front and back, or no cover.
1 Perfect Bound
2 4-up Perfect Bound
ADVANCED FEATURES OF THE EFI SPLASH RPX-iii 57
– Cover Duplex allows you to specify whether to print the cover as duplex or not. If you
select Cover as Front only or Back only and select Duplex, only the front or back, as
selected, will print duplex. There is no combination of selection that enables you to
duplex the front, but not the back, or vice versa.
–
Cover Media type allows you to select paper if you have specified a cover page. All other
pages use the media type and tray selection from the Tray pane.
–
Cover Tray allows you to specify a tray for the Cover page output only. All other pages
use the media type and tray selection from the Tray pane.
•
Perfect Bound and 4-up Perfect Bound specify the layout and sequence needed for jobs that
will be folded, cut, and glued along the back spine into a cover or binding. In perfect
binding, only a single page is folded at a time. Perfect Bound publications are so called
because they open fully and lie flat. Most large trade books and larger magazines use this
technique.

Perfect Bound prints two pages on each side of a duplex sheet. Perfect Bound produces the
same output as Saddle Stitch with a 4-page section.
4-up Perfect Bound prints four pages on each side of a duplex sheet.
NOTE: If a Perfect Bound document does not fill the page, the output is printed centered
on the output page such that when folded down the middle and trimmed, it forms a
booklet.

supports duplexing, but not collation.
Step and Repeat (Fixed) prints the number of document pages that will fit on the selected
output page size, but allows you to decide the number and orientation of pages specified
by the Across, Down, and Orientation options. By controlling the replication across and
down, users gain greater control over the imposition, possibly at the cost of fitting fewer
pieces on the page. Step and Repeat (Fixed) supports duplexing, but not collation.
NOTE: With Step and Repeat (Auto) and Step and Repeat (Fixed), the Copies field on the
Page pane or printer driver specifies the number of sheets to print, not the number of
copies of the original document page.

Imposition supports duplexing and collation. With 2-up Imposition, you have the option
to rotate or not rotate the two copies to modify the cutting edge (see
•
2-up Imposition options
Rotate 2-up below).
– Content Orientation allows you to layout the copies for 2-up Imposition in landscape or
portrait orientation on the page.
–
Rotate 2-up allows you to rotate the two copies to make the cut edge the right side of
both copies, but there may be slight differences in positioning of the content if the
sheet does not feed through the digital press with precise centering.
Disabling Rotate 2-up makes the content of both copies line up exactly, but the cut
edge is on the left side of one copy and the right side of the other.
Output Paper Size
• Automatic determines the output page size automatically as double the input page size.
Input page size is either selected from Page Setup in the printer driver at the client
workstation, or from the Force Paper Size option on the Page pane of the job options at the
server. This allows Letter LEF/A4 LEF documents to automatically print on Tabloid/A3,
as well as other similar combinations. Automatic is not available for Step and Repeat
(Auto) or Step and Repeat (Fixed).
•
Output Paper Size allows you to specify the correct size for different imposition type
settings. For proper results with Saddle Stitch, Perfect Bound, and Signature, the output
paper size must be at least twice as large as the original page size defined for printing. For
example, for a Letter page, select Tabloid. For A4, select A3.
NOTE: The Custom Page sizes created in the Splash Server preferences are supported. For
more information about creating Custom Page sizes, see the Configuration Guide.
ADVANCED FEATURES OF THE EFI SPLASH RPX-iii 61
• Crop Marks print only if there is room for them on the page. The imposed pages print
centered on the output sheet. If there is room to place full or partial crop marks, the crop
marks are added. To ensure that crop marks print, choose a page size that is more than
twice as large as the original page size defined for printing.
For Step and Repeat (Auto) and Step and Repeat (Fixed). the copies print with external
crop marks, but with no crop marks between space between the pages, unless a gutter is
defined (see
If crop marks are printed for Step and Repeat (Auto), the size of the crop marks is taken
into account when determining how to fit the most possible copies onto the page.
Crop mark settings have the following measurements:
– 0.1 inch (2.5 mm)
– 0.2 inch (5 mm)
– 0.3 inch (7.5 mm)
– 0.4 inch (10 mm)
“Gutters” on page 61).
– 0.5 inch (12.5 mm)
Scale to Fit
•
Scale to Fit allows you to scale the imageable output to fit on the selected page size.
Scaling preserves the aspect ratio, so the output page may not be completely filled. Scale to
Fit is not available when Step and Repeat (Auto) is selected.
Advanced imposition options
•Gutters
Gutters
add an extra margin to allow space for binding or other finishing options, or to
allow space for crop marks between document pages of Step and Repeat (Auto) and Step
and Repeat (Fixed). Gutters control whether crop mark print between Step and Repeat
document pages or only around the external edges of the sheet. If you define a 0-sized
gutter, you will get only external crop marks. If you define a larger gutter, you will get crop
marks between the copies. To see all of your crop marks, make the gutter at least twice the
size of the crop marks.
ADVANCED FEATURES OF THE EFI SPLASH RPX-iii 62
• Creep
Creep
compensates for the incremental shift in page content as the sheets are folded to
form saddle booklets. Automatic creep adjustment moves the content a fixed amount per
sheet based on the default values for the media types included in the booklet. Use Manual
creep adjustment to override those values for jobs or media that require a specific
adjustment.
•
Bleed
Bleed
defines the amount of the page to treat as bleed area instead of desired page
content.The Splash Server moves the crop marks the specified amount inside the page
content to show where to cut. For example, to create a 3x2in. (76x50mm) business card
from a 3.25x2.25in. (82.5x 57mm) document, create a 3.25 x 2.25in. (82.5x57mm)
custom page size, or specify a 3.25x2.25in. (82.5x 57mm) Crop Size, then define 1/8in
Bleed. The Splash Server will print 3.25x2.25in. (82.5x 57mm) of content with crop
marks positioned around a 3x2in. (76x50mm) area. This is normally only used with Step
and Repeat (Auto) and Step and Repeat (Fixed)
•
Crop Size
Crop Size
defines the size of the content to extract from the middle of the input page and is
independent of the use of crop marks. When the document size is smaller than the page
size specified by the application when printing, Crop Size allows you to extract the correct
content. For example, if you print a 3x5in. (76x127mm) document from InDesign, you
can specify to print it on Letter paper. You can use the Crop Size to select only the 3x5in.
(76x127mm) content.
ADVANCED FEATURES OF THE EFI SPLASH RPX-iii 63
Setting application registration marks
Do not use application crop marks if you are using any setting other than Step and Repeat
(Auto) or Step and Repeat (Fixed).
For Step and Repeat (Auto) and Step and Repeat (Fixed), you can use either your application
registration marks or the Splash Server crop marks. Your application may provide a greater
selection of crop and registration marks than are available on the Splash Server. If you use
your application registration marks, you need to add to the page size or crop size to allow
enough space for the marks to print. Do not set both the application registration marks and
Splash Server crop marks at the same time. Using both will produce a set of duplicate and
overlapping marks that may be confusing.
For more information about imposition and other print options, see the Printing Guide.
Color management tools
The EFI Splash RPX-iii provides advanced color management tools. For more information
about the following features, see the Color Guide:
•
Color Cal offers a set of calibration tools for the digital press.
•
Spot Color Editor allows you to add and delete spot colors, as well as change the value
output for any particular spot color.
•
ColorTuner and ColorTweak allow you to edit the output color of RIPped pages before
printing all copies of the job.
•
Profiles provides profiles and options for handling profiles.

HOT FOLDERS AND VIRTUAL PRINTERS
You can print to the EFI Splash RPX-iii from the EFI Splash RPX-iii server computer or from
any client workstation with an AppleTalk or TCP/IP network connection.
This chapter describes the following ways of sending files to the EFI Splash RPX-iii:
• Drop-print to the EFI Splash RPX-iii Drop Folder.
• Drop-print to a EFI Splash RPX-iii Hot Folder.
• Print to a EFI Splash RPX-iii Virtual Printer.
• Drop-print to the EFI Splash RPX-iii GA File Converter Drop Folder.
This chapter also describes using the GA File Converter to convert certain graphic file formats
to PostScript or EPS and submit the converted jobs for processing through a Hot Folder.
You can also set up the EFI Splash RPX-iii as a printer on a client and use the EFI
Splash RPX-iii printer files to set print options. For more information, see the Printing Guide.
Supported file formats
The EFI Splash RPX-iii prints Acrobat PDF, TIFF, 1-bit TIFF, EPS, TIFF/IT, PDF-X1/a,
CT/NLW, PSD, DCS 2.0, JPEG, Export PostScript, PDF2GO, and PostScript Level 1, 2,
and 3 files. The EFI Splash RPX-iii supports the importing of these data file formats.
Direct processing of PostScript, PDF, TIFF, EPS, JPEG, and DCS 2.0 files is supported. The
TIFF/IT, PDF-X1/a, CT/NLW, Export PS, PDF2GO, and PSD formats are processed after
conversion by the GA File Converter that starts when the EFI Splash RPX-iii is started.

HOT FOLDERS AND VIRTUAL PRINTERS 65
Drop-printing using Drop Folders
Use drop-printing to print PostScript files, as opposed to using a PostScript file download
utility. The following Drop Folder options allow you to drop-print files.
NOTE: If a spooled file is not located on the EFI Splash RPX-iii hard disk, the EFI
Splash RPX-iii cannot print it. Copy the original file to the hard disk.
•
Drop Folder handles direct processing of PostScript, PDF, TIFF, EPS, JPEG, and DCS 2.0
files as they are sent or dragged to the Drop Folder. You can also print PDF files that are
password-protected in Adobe Acrobat. To do so, type a password in the PDF Password
field of the Edit Doc Info pane in the Job Options dialog box.
•
Hot Folders allows you to create a particular set of pre-selected print options that are
applied to every file that is submitted to that Hot Folder. You can create multiple hot
folders and submit any PostScript, TIFF, EPS, JPEG, PDF, or DCS 2.0 file to them.
Create and delete Hot Folders by choosing Hot Folders from the Server menu. For more
information, see page 67. Any number of Hot Folders can be created with no limitation
other than available hard disk space. If file sharing is enabled, folders are automatically
shared when created.
Hot Folders co-exist with the Drop Folder. Drop Folder ensures compatibility for previous
releases and allows you to avoid forcing a set of job options on dropped jobs. Windows and
Mac OS download applications for the Drop Folder are automatically created when you start
the EFI Splash RPX-iii.
•
GA File Converter Drop Folder supports direct processing of TIFF/IT, CT/NLW, PDF2GO,
Export PS, and PSD files sent to the GA File Converter Drop Folder. TIFF/IT files version
P1 and P1 8.8 are supported, assuming all three forks of the file (FP, CT, and LW) are
provided. The three forks can be provided in any order. By default, the output PostScript
file is placed in the Drop Folder for processing. Besides the Drop Folder, the GA File
Converter receives input from Hot Folders in the GA file Converter Hot Folders folder
and automatically outputs to the matching folder in Hot Folders.
TIFF/IT, CT/NLW, PSD, or PDF-X1/a files may produce processing errors if they are
dragged to the EFI Splash RPX-iii queues or placed in the Drop Folder.
NOTE: All files copied to the Drop Folder are copied to the EFI Splash RPX-iii hard disk.
If you drop-print a PostScript file that was created with the EFI Splash RPX-iii application,
the EFI Splash RPX-iii uses the print options selected at the printer driver for the job. If the
PostScript file was not created with EFI Splash RPX-iii, the EFI Splash RPX-iii applies default
print options. To apply specific options to all jobs, create a Hot Folder (see “Hot Folders” on
page 67).

Hot Folders
HOT FOLDERS AND VIRTUAL PRINTERS 67
Hot Folders is a utility that allows you to store and reuse frequently used print options when
printing PostScript and PDF files on the EFI Splash RPX-iii. With Hot Folders, you can do
the following:
• Create special folders (Hot Folders) that assign specific print settings and print queues
to jobs.
• Print jobs to the EFI Splash RPX-iii by dragging and dropping them onto hot folders at
the EFI Splash RPX-iii server computer or from your desktop via File Sharing.
Hot Folders allows you to create multiple drop folders, each with an assigned set of print
options that are applied to all jobs placed in the folder. This allows you to control print
options and process a series of jobs with common printer driver options.
For any job placed in a Hot Folder, the options associated with the Hot Folder override any
options included in the job. A job created with the EFI Splash RPX-iii printer driver might
specify Duplex, Long Edge Bind, but if it is dropped into a folder for which Duplex is set to
None, the job does not print as Duplex.
Creating Hot Folders
Hot Folders are created in Home/Public/Hot Folders and Home/Public/GA File Converter
Hot Folders where Home is the current user's home directory. Folders may be shared via
AppleTalk for Mac OS clients and via SMB for Windows clients. Hot Folders do not replace

GA File Converter
The GA File Converter allows you to print the most popular pre-press file formats without
requiring the application in which they were created. Pre-press format files are created by
imagesetters and pre-press proofing systems. Print these files on the EFI Splash RPX-iii for
proofing and pre-flight purposes by converting them to PS or EPS files. The GA File
Converter must be used with Hot Folders.
The following formats can be converted by the GA File Converter:
• TIFF-IT
•CT/LW
•CT/NLW
• PDF2GO
•ExportPS
•PDF-X1/a
NOTE: When dealing with multi-file formats (TIFF-IT, CT/NLW), it is best to put all of the
component files in a folder and drop the folder into the input folder.
TO ENABLE THE GA FILE CONVERTER
1 Open the Splash Server Preferences dialog box.
2 Click GA File Converter on the Server tab, and then click OK.
The GA File Converter icon appears in the EFI Splash RPX-iii server Dock.

The Conversion settings are as follows:
Resolution: The default is 200 dpi. Increase the resolution for printing smoother line art.
Anti-aliasing: The default is Nearest Neighbor. For highest quality output, select Bi-linear.
The default settings are designed to provide the fastest printing results possible. Changing
these settings can result in increased RIPping and printing times. We recommend that you
only change these settings if you are printing line art that requires high-resolution printing.
You can now print to the newly created GA File Converter Hot Folder.
When a Hot Folder is created on the Splash Server, a Hot Folder of the same name is placed
in Home : Public : GA File Converter Hot Folders. This is the input folder to use for the GA
File Converter.

EFI SPLASH RPX-iii PRODUCTION FEATURES
The EFI Splash RPX-iii offers features that are particularly useful in a production printing
environment. The production printing features for the EFI Splash RPX-iii include the
following:
• Set Builder
• Mixed Media
• Schedule
•Job Error
• Resume Printing
Set Builder
The Set Builder feature allows you to gather a series of documents and collate them as a single
document set. You can then print the set using a standard set of finishing options, such as
Copies, Collate, Staple, Rotate, and Duplex. Set Builder combines documents from multiple
applications and platforms, freeing you from piecing documents together into a single
application at the client workstation.
The Set Builder user interface is list-based, allowing you to add individual jobs to a document
set and arrange the order of the jobs within the document.
The Set Builder main window displays available jobs in the Hold and Error queues. For jobs
in the Available jobs list, you have the option to Add, Duplicate, or Edit the print job options.
The options in the Document Set Options dialog box allow you to set Job Handling options
globally (for example, Staple, Duplex, Insert Blank Pages), overriding the options for each
individual job in the set. Click Document Info to edit information such as the Document
Title, User ID, Password, and Account.

Managing Set Builder jobs
In the Set Builder dialog box, you can select options to manage the sets that you create.
•
Remove removes a job from the list of jobs in the Document Set Jobs list.
•
Duplicate duplicates a selected job in the list of Available Jobs. After clicking Duplicate, if
you want to change options for the new job, you must select the duplicated job and click

•
Preview displays the previews for any selected job in the Available Jobs or Document Set
Jobs lists.
Duplex and odd-length jobs
When you select Duplex printing for a document set, the total number of pages in any
component job in the document set is “padded” so it has an even number of images (sides),
if the Insert Blank Pages option is enabled.
For example, a document set composed of a five-page job, a four-page job, and a three-page
job, prints a total of seven sheets, with the back side of the third and seventh sheet left blank.
With the Insert Blank Pages option disabled, the document prints a total of six sheets.
Previews
The Preview window only previews jobs that have been RIPped. The arrow keys move from
page to page within a job, but do not cross from job to job, even in the Document Set Jobs
list. To see the entire preview of a document set, select the first job in the Document Set Jobs
list and click the right arrow. Scroll through the job until the page number stops
incrementing. Select a second job and repeat until you have scrolled through the entire
document set.
Errors in Set Builder document sets
If an error occurs in any component of a document set, the entire document set fails to print.
To reprint the document set, correct the error and re-release the document set. Only the jobs
that previously caused the error re-RIP.
