Notications
A notication is displayed briey on the screen when certain events occur, such as:
●
A job moves from the job preparation pane to the printing queue.
●
A job moves from the printing queue to the history (when it has been printed).
●
A stacker or folder has been installed or uninstalled.
The notication normally fades in, remains for 5 seconds, and then fades out. You can stop it from fading by
hovering over it, or see it again by hovering over the
notication icon in the icon tray (if you have enabled it).
Recommended ways to set up the software
HP SmartStream can be set up in a variety of ways, the most common of which are described below.
End-to-end printing workow
The end-to-end workow is a basic ow designed around the needs of a single operator managing the end-to-
end ow of a job from job reception to preparation/preight to printing and perhaps nishing.
For example, only one operator is in charge of printing, or possibly one operator per printer. In this case, this
operator has full control over the printing workows and the printing queue using HP SmartStream.
In other cases, with multiple operators, each of them may be responsible for a single job end to end; that is, from
the reception of the job to its delivery.
A individual installation of HP SmartStream can perform all the required steps of an end-to-end printing
workow, allowing an operator to prepare jobs and print to one or more printers.
Files can be added to the application from local or removable drives, local network, or remote locations, as long
as they are accessible by the operating system’s le explorer.
Distributed workows
In an enterprise environment, the HP SmartStream solution allows users (such as architects or engineers) to
send jobs to the CRD (Central Reprographics Department), so that the central print operator can print them. This
is not intended to replace using any printer present in the users’ own department to print samples or a limited
number of pages on their own. Rather, it is intended for jobs with many pages or high urgency, when professional
print operators should take care of the printing and nishing.
In order to streamline the job submission and subsequent processing by the print operator, the installation of HP
SmartStream in the CRD should have one or more hot folders congured that point to a folder that any user in
the enterprise can access. See Hot folders on page 16.
Likewise, each user’s installation of the HP SmartStream Submission Driver should point to a hot folder that is
connected to the CRD’s HP SmartStream software.
With this setup in place, a typical enterprise workow with a CRD may run as follows:
1. Job submission from the user’s computer
