Manual Client Configuration
This section will explain how to setup a basic configuration in order to process and output a file for proofing and
monitor the job throughout the process. For detailed information on specific modules mentioned, see the relevant
sections of the user manual.
The default monitoring application – Jobs – opens with a factory standard layout, including the QueueManager,
Thumbnail and QueueStatus modules. System queues (Image, Render, Spool and AutoDetect) will be displayed in the
QueueManager.
There are four (4) sections that need configuring in order to process jobs. These are (in no particular order):
• A RIP where the jobs are polled;
• A Pagesetup and Media where jobs are processed; and
• An Output where the Serendipity Blackmagic Image or Remote Proof file is sent.
Note: Before a Pagesetup can be created first create a Media and an Output, as each Pagesetup must be linked to a valid
one of each.
To begin configuration:
1. Select Application menu > Workbench.
Output Configuration
2. Select Output from the data types list on the left and create a
new Output by selecting File menu > New.
3. The Output name “Untitled” will appear in the items list,
highlighted for renaming. This is the name of the Output that
will appear in the Pagesetup. Rename and select the item.
4. In the Queue panel of the gray configuration area, select the
appropriate driver for use from the list of licensed drivers.
5. In the Destination panel, select a destination driver (i.e., the
connection method) for output of jobs and enter the
appropriate information, for example, a local folder destination.
6. Configure any collating or nesting requirements as needed. See
the Workbench > Output section of this manual for further
details on this option.
7. OPTIONAL – After a Media is created, it can be assigned to the
Output via the Change Media button. See the Media section of
this manual for further information on Media functions.
8. Save the Output configuration when completed by selecting File menu > Save.
