Update 6 Release Notes for Lotem Xpose Version 1.01.047

Field test - draft

These release notes describe the additions and corrections that have been made since Update 5, and how to install the update.

The release notes include:

• Enhanced functionality
• Fixed bugs
• Known bugs
• Installation notes and instructions

Enhanced functionality

• Improved throughput with TIFF files from Prinergy^®:
  In a normal workflow, TIFF files generated from a Prinergy job are sent to a Lotem Xpose hot folder. Each TIFF file triggers the hot folder and is sent as a separate job to the running Lotem Xpose queue. The jobs are then processed by the platesetter. However, between jobs, the platesetter does not start to load the next plate until the previous plate is unloaded. This causes low throughput. To overcome this issue and improve performance, Update 6 enables a flow that sends all of the separations of a layout in one job.
• To indicate that a new job has entered the NewJobs queue, the NewJobs icon turns red and blinks.
• During installation, the Wizard automatically empties the Windows Temp folder.

Fixed bugs

• Loading problems between jobs: plates for the second job in the queue cannot load until the first job is completely finished
• In some 3rd party TIFF files, the error message mismatch between separations appears.
• If you deselect separations from a job on hold and then resubmit the job, the deselected separations still appear in the queue, though the job is exposed correctly, without the deselected separations.
  

Known Bugs

• Create PPD considers only the media size, and does not consider the press format margin parameters.
• The two default hot folders must be set manually after installation.
