Version 5.3.02 - Serendipity Software

Pagesetup
A Pagesetup consists of many configurable modules to manipulate your job for the desired output. This is
where the Input Screening and ICC Profiles, Render Effects, Colour Keys and other Colour Management options are
setup.
Output
• Change Output – Selects the Output method and assigns its configured
properties to the Pagesetup.
• Change Media – Select the default Media settings and assign its properties
to the Pagesetup. If a job is submitted to the Pagesetup without a specific
Media, the job will output using these default Media settings.
• Output Settings:
o Antialiasing – Choose from 2x2, 3x3, 4x4 or None. Antialiasing is
designed to smooth jagged edges and is used when the Output
does not have sufficient resolution to display edges smoothly. The values increase the amount of pixels
used for Antialiasing. The default setting is None.
o Priority – Assign a priority to a Pagesetup. The lower the number, the higher the priority. Numbers can
be negative for a higher priority. The default is 0. Jobs waiting to Image or Render will process
through a higher priority Pagesetup over jobs submitted to lower priority queues.
o Auto Publication Name – Create unique publication names for each job passed through the Pagesetup.
Use this feature for duplexing from PDF or PS files. Submitting a multi-­‐page document as one job will
allocate all pages with the same publication name.
o 16 Bit Processing – Enable or disable 16-­‐bit processing for jobs submitted to the Pagesetup.
Note: Veripress V5 is able to accept files submitted in a 16-­‐bit format. The files are normally processed and rendered in
standard 8-­‐bit colour, which for many workflows is sufficient for proofing. 16-­‐bit processing improves render quality
and can be useful for finding artifacts within a job. When enabled, files submitted to the Pagesetup in 8-­‐bit are upscaled
to 16-­‐bit for processing. 16-­‐bit mode requires more system memory for imaging/rendering jobs and produces larger
output files.
Publish
Allows Pagesetups to be published on a network as a Drop Folder, or as a network print destination for output from
another software application. To Publish a Pagesetup, it is necessary for the Serendipity Megarip PPD to be installed on
the same system on which the Veripress Server runs (Server menu > Download PPD).
• Publish DropFolder – Allocate a folder where files can be dropped in for processing. Valid File Types include
Postscript, PDF, JPEG, TIFF Image, Serendipity Blackmagic Image, EPS,
PNG.
• Location – Select a folder as a DropFolder. The folder must exist and
have read/write permissions.
• Default – Reset the DropFolder location to the default one (Serendipity
Veripress installation directory/drop/)
• Printers – Choose to publish the Pagesetup as a network print
destination, allowing third party applications to print directly to it.
o Mac – Enable to publish the Pagesetup as a Bonjour/Zeroconf network destination for Mac OS X and
Linux. This option also publishes the Pagesetup as an AppleTalk destination, where the Pagesetup
name is used as the printer name.
Note: When adding a new printer through System Preferences on Mac OS X, select the Bonjour address
(pagesetup name@computer name) as the printer and Serendipity Megarip PPD as the driver.
o Windows – Choose to publish the Pagesetup as a Windows local printer port destination. See the
Serendipity Software website for details on how to create the Windows printer.
• TCP Port – Choose to publish the Pagesetup to a TCP Port, allowing it to be setup as an IP printer destination,
or as a destination for other Veripress Servers.
o Activate Port Number – Enter the TCP port number the Pagesetup will publish to. It is necessary for
the port number to be 10000 or over and for each Pagesetup to have a unique port.
Note: When adding a new printer through System Preferences on Mac OS X, select IP printer, HP
Jetdirect – Socket for the protocol. The address should be in this form – computername:10063. Select
Serendipity Megarip as the driver.
