9.13.21 Gang Run Printing

These fields are relevant when you work with the Pilot's

Gang Run Printing

view.

•

Output Folder

: Define the folder where the substrate queues write their nested layout files.

These files are picked up from here as input files for the output workflow (specifically the

Export nested Layouts task

). Normal use of the Gang Run Printing mode does not require you to access these files.

Note:

We advise to clean up these temp data. This can easily done in your output workflow ticket: See this example:

• The

Custom Fields

can be given specific names so that they can be used in the

'Extra' tab of the Submit to Gang Run task

. They then show up as extra columns in the Gang Run printing view of a specific Substrate Queue.

• If you also confirm that a

Custom Field

can be

Used as grouping key

, the value of this field will so help control which files are nested together. Typical attributes to base nesting groups on are Customer, Printing Method, Finishing Method. Learn more about grouping keys in

Grouping Certain Graphics Together

• Select

Use the Customer field as grouping key

if you want a system-wide setting for this feature, in stead of having to control it per ticket of the

Submit to Gang Run task

Automation Engine

9.13.22 Global Vision

Concept

Following Automation Engine tasks use technology from the company

Global Vision

Inspect

Artwork

Inspect Barcodes

Inspect Braille

Inspect Spelling

and

Inspect Text

These tasks require a software license created by Global Vision. You can purchase various subscription packages directly from Global Vision or choose to purchase one via Esko.

This configuration item guides you to get that license from Global Vision and activate it on

Automation Engine.

How to Request a License

To purchase, activate or check your Global Vision license, click

Request License...

and follow the indicated steps.

Note:

The

registration ID

identifies your computer where the Global Vision License Server was installed. This component of the Automation Engine is by default installed on the same computer as the Automation Engine server software.

Global Vision uses this registration ID to generate your

license key

to run these tasks on

Automation Engine. This license key can only be activated on the same Automation Engine server as the one you used to get your registration ID.

The website

https://esko.globalvisioninc.com/

will ask you if you already purchased such a license from Esko or if you want to purchase a subscription plan from Global Vision.

Note:

This online video

describes this procedure (the case where someone purchased the subscription plan from Esko).

Automation Engine

About Remaining Days and Usage Count

When you have a license from Global Vision, the panel mentions a detailed status of this license:

• It shows the number of

used inspections

and the maximum number of inspections that can be run (without being charged extra).

Note:

An inspection is "used" each time a Global Vision inspection task has run. Only if the task failed to run completely (for example the task ran out of available memory), this is not counted as "used".

• When the number of used inspections is equal or higher than the maximum (licensed) number of inspections:

• An active internet connection is required to be able to continue using the Global Vision

Inspection tasks without activating a new license, given that the current license is not expired in time.

• The Automation Engine master server needs to be able to connect to

http:// www.globalvisioninc.com/eskolicense/

. Connecting through a proxy server is not supported.

• Global Vision then bills you the extra used inspections separately.

• When no active internet connection is available, any subsequently run Global Vision

Inspection tasks will fail.

• When you have annual licenses, the number of used inspections is reset each month.

• When you have a permanent license, this will be mentioned instead.
