Working with Output Device Setups

Setups provide the link between the software and your output devices. Each setup contains the following information:

• The type of output device being used.
• The method used to communicate with the device.
• Details of how incoming print jobs are processed.
• The default job properties that are applied to a new job.

Production Manager allows for multiple setups to be in use at the same time. It is possible to have more than one setup for each output device. This is useful because it allows you to configure each setup for a different purpose. You can have one setup for printing proofs, and another for final output, for instance. You can also have different setups for different output media.
