“General” Printer Settings

There are several Options available that you can configure in the General Section for Printing.
These commands govern the Lab 50 steps to processing images upon receipt..

1. At the top of the menu bar, click Settings.
2. To the left side of the screen select Fulfillment -> General
3. On the right make any changes in this area as necessary. Here is a brief explanation of each of these settings:

• Rotate images automatically: Check the box to automatically rotate images that are auto rotated by the camera. _This only applies when the
  Output Folder is used._
• Apply borders to images: Check the box to render the borders with the photo. This only applies when the Output Folder is used.
• *Output order filefiles:* Check the box to export order.xml. Set the folder location where you want the order
  file to be stored. By default it is the same folder path used for the images. This only applies when the Output Folder is used. Normally this isn’t necessary.
  • Mask payment details: If you choose to output the order file, you have the option to encrypt the
    credit card information contained in the order file for security purposes.
• Process orders automatically after download: Check the box to allow all orders to be processed automatically after they are downloaded.
  • Do not process orders with over X copies: If process all orders automatically after download option is enabled, you can choose not to process the order if the orders contain more than X prints. X represents the number of prints.

Printing via “Print Server”

The Print Server is the backend application that formats orders in Lab 50 into one or more different interfaces for
printing. It supports many common minilab printer interfaces, such as Noritsu DPOF, Fuji PIC, etc. and can help
automate your workflow for a quick turnaround.

1. At the top of the menu bar, click Settings.
2. To the left side of the screen select Fulfillment -> Print Server
3. On the right make any changes in this area as necessary. Here is a brief explanation of each of these settings:

Printing Via “Output Folder” (Web Orders Only)

The Output Folder works similarly to the HotFolder Printer Interface in the Print Server except that this is done directly through Lab 50. The way it works is that the orders are exported to and organized in a folder instead of an actual printer. The main difference between HotFolder Interface and the Output Folder is that the latter method can be used only for web orders.

1. At the top of the menu bar, click Settings.
2. To the left side of the screen select Fulfillment -> Output Folder
3. On the right make any changes in this area as necessary. Here is a brief explanation of each of these settings:

Printing Via “Adobe PDF” Interface

Certain photo products, such as photo books, provide the option to process the order in either JPEG or PDF format. If you choose to print in PDF format, there are two supported PDF Interfaces within the Lab 50 software that can be chosen. One is printing via the Lab 50 Adobe PDF Interface and the other is via Print Server, and you will configure through the Setup Wizard. In this section, we will only go over the configuration settings for the Lab 50 Adobe PDF Interface. This is rarely used. Instead, we recommend using the PDF interface for the EQ-9800 or Hot Folder interface via the Print Server for maximum automation and customization. For instructions on how to set up PDF Printer Interface via Setup Wizard, see “Printing Via Print Server” section.
