KIS-DKS General Settings:

  • DKS Path: Enter the UNC path to the desired folder location to which orders from the APM should copy. This should be set to *\\DKS\rep_DKS\sortie_print*, which is the priority folder.
  • DKS Alternate Priority Path: Set this option to the secondary path that will serve as a drop point for orders that
    are set to the priority level designated in the settings later in this appendix. Normally, this location should be \\DKS\rep_dks\ordre-externe\.
  • Temporary Folder Path: The UNC path to the folder on the local kiosk where order files are placed before being sent to the DKS. The default setting is *C:\APM_FOLDERS\DKS_Tmp*.
  • Priority to Alternate Path: Orders are normally sent to the path specified in the DKS Path setting, however, when an order priority type matches the setting specified in this field, the order will be sent to the path specified as the DKS Alternate Priority Path.
  • Primary and Secondary Priority, Cutoff, and Path: For each of the three fulfillments, these settings are explained in the Setting Priorities section below. Unless there are specific time-sensitive or print count requirements in the order, then the priorities can all be set to normal and with a print cutoff of 0.
  • Back Print Line 1 Template and Back Print Line 2 Template: Used to specify the desired back print format using the case-sensitive parameters listed below.

The following is a list of available case-sensitive parameters that may be used:

  • %ORDER% - Order Number
  • %PRODUCT% - Product Name
  • %PROD_ID% - Product Id
  • %FINISH% - Finish option (glossy/matte)
  • %QTY% - Quantity
  • %ORIG_FN% - Original File Name
  • %ITEM% - Item Index
  • %YEAR% - Current 4 digit year
  • %MONTH% - Current 2 digit month
  • %DAY% - Current 2 digit day
  • %FNAME% - Customer first name
  • %LNAME% - Customer last name
  • %PHONE% - Customer phone number
  • Glossy Index and Matte Index: Set these options to 0 and 1, respectively, so that they are in line with the default settings on the DKS.
  • Debug Mode: If after changing all of the settings the KIS-DKS printer interface does not work, come back to this screen and set this to True. The default value is false.
  • Products Configured: This is used to configure the paper size user for each product. See the Product Setup section of this appendix for detailed instructions.
