Output Device Support

Overview

Output device support allows MarketDirect StoreFront to integrate with various output devices so that the status from the output device is communicated back to MarketDirect StoreFront. For instance, this enables communication of a status such as “Job Printed” to be sent from the output device (MicroPress or Fiery) to MarketDirect StoreFront to alert the operator when a job has been ripped.

MarketDirect StoreFront supports connections to any number of EFI Fiery, Fiery XF, and non-EFI JDF output devices. For more information, see Output Devices.

Automated Printing

You can integrate MarketDirect StoreFront with the MicroPress and Fiery for integrated printing at the time of installation or manually at a later time.

The default output device folder is <install drive>:wwwroot\inetpub\dsf\dsffiles\Outputs\Default.

To set up Fiery support

The EFI Fiery JDF Connector is available for registered users at www.efi.com/support/download-software.asp.

1         Go to http://www.efi.com/products/production/fiery/other/jdf-connector/ for detailed information about the Fiery JDF Connector.

2         Download the Fiery JDF Connector installer.

3         Launch the installer and follow instructions for installing Fiery support.

To set up MicroPress support

MicroPress integration allows jobs to be transferred through MarketDirect StoreFront and flow to the MicroPress. Depending upon how the MicroPress input queue is configured, these jobs can be integrated with the MicroPress.

If you need to change the MicroPress printer integrated with MarketDirect StoreFront, please refer to the MicroPress User Guide section “Setting up a Hot Folder in the MicroPress RIP” to make the needed changes.

1         On your MicroPress server, login to the MicroPress.

2         Navigate to your MarketDirect StoreFront web site and go to Administration | Site Settings.

3         On the Basic Settings tab, in the MicroPress Support section, click the installer for the appropriate version of MicroPress:

        Windows EProve Install / MicroPress 8 Version 8.0.4.0 and older and MicroPress 7 (All Versions)
