You can configure settings for splitting jobs by device and JDF output of split jobs.
Splitting jobs by device is a function that splits jobs by signature or sheet group and outputs them individually to multiple output devices at a time set by the user.
In jobs generated by splitting jobs by device, JDF data is output to an operating XMF, or another XMF that is idling, in accordance with the job split settings.
The processing for jobs output in JDF is determined by the job template or remote ticket set in [Split Job] pane.
Data can also be sent in JDF format to the specified folder as a surface instead of as a job.
To split jobs by device, [Split Job(Proofer)] device for generating the split job must be registered. For details, contact the administrator.
The setting is displayed only when [Split Job(Proofer)] is selected in [Device Parameters] pane - [Device Options] - [Device].
The signature or sheet group must be set in advance in the pagination settings.

In the job status of split job generating devices in [Job Status] screen, only information about JDF generation is displayed. For surfaces without a page, a JDF file is not generated and the status is displayed as being completed.
When a split job is executed while [Generate Job for Proofing/Submission] is selected, the split job is output as JDF to an operating XMF. Imported split jobs are displayed in the Queue screen as follows.
A split job is displayed in the same way as a standard job, and the job name is assigned according to the following rules.
[Job name before splitting] - [Sheet ID] - [Front/Back]
For 2x2 splitting, [Branch number] is added after [Front/Back].
To prevent disk space from running out, the files used in a split job are deleted when the split job execution is completed. For this reason, the split jobs displayed in the Queue screen cannot be retried. Further, no thumbnails are displayed and a blank page is shown in Imposition View. To retry a split job, retry the job used as the split source.
When [Generate Job for Proofing/Submission] is selected for outputting a signature group, if a job template with [None] set in [Paper] - [Size] in the imposition settings is selected in [Template], the signatures are placed automatically in the centre of the plate.
