System Preparation
System Preparation
Before the system can print, the following CS150 software procedures
must be completed:
•
Set up production printers
•
Configure databases
•
Create print layouts
All these procedures are described in the CS150 online Help. Access this
information from any screen by selecting the Help button (shown below
on the production “Dashboard” screen). Open specific Help topics by
clicking on items in interactive lists or on the pull-down menus.
The final procedure in this sequence is production (see “Print Jobs”). All
production printers must be configured as devices in the CS150 software,
and each database to be used as a print source must be configured for
printing.
This configuration, which includes field and record definition as well as
print layout, is saved in a configuration file (*. bcf).
When the printers and databases are configured, a print job is started by
selecting a printer and loading a configuration file (*. bcf).
An optional CS150 module called Read and Image allows a CS150 user
with a camera system (or barcode reader, magnetic strip reader, or optical
character reader [OCR] and a production printing system) to personalize
print products based on a customer number. For convenience, this Help
refers to a camera system when discussing the Read and Image
capability.
