The Noritsu DPOF interface allows the APM or Lab 50 software to convert orders generated from an APM into the same order structure as a Noritsu CT-1/CT-2 machine with auto print channel and quantity mapping.

Prerequisites

  1. The APM and/or Lab 50 machine needs to be able to see the Noritsu machine across the local area network and vice versa.
  2. On the Noritsu machine, the necessary print channels need to be setup prior to the APM/Lab 50 setup. This includes separate channels for glossy/matte finishes.
  3. The Noritsu machine needs to be on Version E or higher.
  4. If Lab 50 is not present in the local installation, then at least one or more fulfillments must be enabled to print to a local printer connected to the APM. This is seen in the screenshot below, taken from the main options of an enabled fulfillment in the Setup Wizard.

This process includes the following steps:

  1. Adding the printer interface and editing the general settings.
  2. Product setup from within the interface.
  3. Assigning printable products to the interface.
  4. Pulling the order into the Noritsu software.
