This configurator drives PerfectProof ProofMaster. It is a processor that generates a printed proof (as a side-effect of processing) and optionally exports the proofed job (possibly in a different file format and “annotated” with feedback from the proofing process).
Depending on the result of color certification in ProofMaster, the exported job moves along the outgoing success or error data connections. A log file with feedback about the proofing process moves along the corresponding log connections. The incoming job is not retained.
Refer to Version requirements for third-party applications for more information on the third-party application required by this configurator.
ProofMaster and Switch must be installed in the same local network but not necessarily on the same computer.

ProofMaster queue |
The name of the ProofMaster queue that should receive incoming jobs The queue specifies a particular set of proofing options including the target printer |
Export as |
The format of the exported job; choices are: PDF, PostScript This overrides the export settings in the ProofMaster queue |
Wait for certification |
