Version 5.3.02 - Serendipity Software

Status
Status shows the current disk status (usage) of the Server processing areas, such as spooling, temporary directories and
DropFolders. Editing the ss.conf file in the installation directory under the “etc” folder can change disk locations.
The available options are:
• Update – Checks the disks and updates the view.
• Preferences – Sets the Status window preferences. A further option
available is:
o Update Interval – Sets the time between updates.
• Colour Scheme – Changes the colour of the Status window.
• Font options – Change the size of the text.
Thumbnail
This module displays a thumbnail of jobs as they are imaging and rendering. Thumbnail progress is updated at the
same time as the Imaging or Rendering QueueStatus is updated.
The following options are available from the contextual menu (right click):
• Show Imaging – Show the Imaging thumbnail, denoted by “gears” in each inset.
• Show Rendering – Show the Rendering thumbnail, denoted by a “paintbrush” in each inset.
• Normal Thumbnail – Displays the default size thumbnail.
• Large Thumbnail – Displays a large thumbnail.
• Small Thumbnail – Displays a small thumbnail.
Each active Thumbnail module may only show either Imaging or Rendering, not both. The module window displays as
many Thumbnail insets as there are simultaneous Imaging/Rendering tasks configured in the Server Settings.
VirtualPress
VirtualPress gives users the ability to manage the plates of the job. You can drop plates, change plate colours and merge
plates from other jobs. If a job contains an un-­‐allocated plate (i.e., no colour), use VirtualPress to allocate a colour,
unless a Replace Colour Set is selected containing the plate.
• The History keeps jobs that have been imported into
VirtualPress. Any changes or additions are kept so the
jobs can be resubmitted at any time without having to
recreate the changes. The history is held while the
Client is running. Once the Client has quit, any history
is purged. A 'Submit' button to the bottom left of the
Virtual Press allows multiple VPress History items to
be selected and printed simultaneously.
• Quick Submit shows a pull down list of the configured
Pagesetups. Clicking this button submits the selected job to the Pagesetup shown. The option to Hold After
Imaging or Rendering is also available.
• Edit Plate Colour displays a colour editor, allowing you to change the colour attributes for this plate only. The
edit is not stored anywhere and does not affect the Special Colour Set. This option is also available when right
clicking on a plate.
• Choose allows you to select a colour from the colour libraries. This is only available for special plates. You can
also double click the plate in the list to choose a colour from the libraries.
• Reorder Plates allows you to change the order of the process plates. Plate position is used for Overprint,
Knockout, Opacity and Transparency simulation. The order of the list dictates the order the plates are merged
and can affect the job where plates have attributes such as Opacity. The button will appear in italics when the
order has been changed from the original.
