NOTE: This documentation relates to an earlier version of the APM / Lab 50 software.

Visit the current documentation home.

The DPOF interface is used by the APM software to create the same order structure generated from a Noritsu CT-1 or Noritsu CT-2 machine.

Each product channel/size will have its own folder, so keep in mind that there may be several folders of images for each order.

Noritsu Software Installed on Noritsu Printer

To import an APM order into the Noritsu software:

  1. Select the Network CT-1 button, or a similarly named feature, in the Noritsu software.
  2. Click on Start.
  3. This will then bring up a screen similar to the below.
  4. Navigate to the machine where the Order directory was created and shared. (In the example used, "Order" folder is shared out and configured to store all of the incoming APM orders.)
  5. Click Yes:OK. If you already have orders in this directory, the folder will look something like the sample on the next page. The orders will reside in this folder on the APM and/or Lab 50 machine until they are imported or deleted.

The name of the order folder tells you several things about the order. For example, lets reference order "o851070g".

Noritsu Browse for Folder window

  • o85 indicates that it is from APM 7285 (due to folder naming limitations by Noritsu, only the last 2 digits of the APM ID are shown)
  • The folder contains images from order number is 72851070.
  • The suffix letter is g, and in this instance g maps to Noritsu print channel 9. Again, for user readability, it is preferable to use suffix letter like ‘-4x6G’ that includes the product name as well the finish option.

Noritsu File Selection window

To print an order:

  1. Select the folder you want to print, then click Yes:OK.
  2. All images for that size/channel will appear in the editing screen to operate.
  3. Make the necessary corrections and send the images to print. The software will then mark the order as printed and the APM or Lab 50 will delete the folder if Purge Complete setting is turned on in the Setup Wizard.
  4. Repeat for each folder to print, until one whole order is completed. (**Note: Order folders that have the same 6 numeric digits, indicating the fact that they are from the same order.)
  5. Assuming that all sizes and finishes are setup properly, then the images will print and the back print will show the information configured to print.

**Note: These instructions may differ depending on the model of the Noritsu machine you are using and the software you have installed. Please contact Lucidiom technical support if you require further assistance.
