Fujifilm MS Job Maker

NOTE: This feature is available in the Essential, Professional, and Enterprise versions of both Spectra and Stratus Desktop.

Setting up your Price List #

Several pieces of information need to be set in your Spectra/Stratus price list for each item that will be sold to a customer and printed
by the Fujifilm MS Job Maker software. Open the Item
Maintenance screen (Maintenance
> Price List > Price Lists) for each item and set the following
pieces of information.

• Preferred Vendor
  – All the products you will be sending to the Fujifilm MS
  Job Maker software should be assigned to an internal vendor you
  have set up in Spectra/Stratus, for example “Fujifilm MS Job Maker.” If you
  do not have this vendor created, the vendor list is maintained by
  selecting Maintenance > Production
  > Vendors. See also: Vendors

• Vendor Description
  – Set the vender description for this item to match the product that
  already exists in the MS Job Maker software. Examples would be 4X5,
  5X7, etc.

• Vendor Multiplier
  – If you need to print a quantity that is different than the number
  of prints you are selling to your client, you can also set the Vendor Multiplier.

Setting up the Render Profile #

Next, you need to create a render profile, which is a set of instructions
used to tell Spectra/Stratus what manipulation needs to be performed to the images
before sending to the printer.

1. Go to the Workflow hub.

2. Click Render
   Final Ordered Images.

3. The Render
   Images screen will appear.

4. Click New
   to create a new render profile or click Edit
   to modify an existing profile.

5. Name the profile something familiar like “Fujifilm
   MS Job Maker.”

6. Set the following properties:

   • Render Profile Type – “Final Output of Ordered
     Images.”

   • Output separate “versions” of each image ordered.

   • Check Crop, Rotate, Flip, and Colorize.

   • Composite Options – “Flatten Composites.”

   • Set the vendor option to the “Fujifilm MS
     Job Maker” vendor you created above.

   • Image file type – “JPEG.”

   • DPI – 300.

   • Render Folder – “Other Folder” (set to your
     Fujifilm MS Server and the Job Maker sub-folder).

   • Click both sub-folder options to make cleaning
     up images easier.

   • Output Fujifilm MS01 File should be checked.

7. Click OK
   to save the profile and then click X
   to close the Render Images screen.

Using the Fujifilm MS Job Maker Integration #

You can send images to the Fujifilm MS Job Maker software from either
a Spectra/Stratus invoice or production order. 

• Send Images from an Invoice – Open the invoice and select Render
  Ordered Images from the Action
  menu or click Render Final Ordered Images
  from the Digital Workflow
  for any session that has an invoice created. 

• Send Images from a Production Order – Open the production order and
  select Render Ordered Images from
  the Action menu or click Render Final Ordered Images from
  the Digital Workflow
  for any production order that has been created.

At this time, you will be presented with the Render Images screen.
Click the render profile that was created above, and click Start
Rendering. The images will then be rendered out to the Fujifilm
MS Server folder specified in the render profile, and the job should start
printing.
