PlotWorks User Guide • Repro Desk Support • G-3

For PlotWorks to print a Repro Desk job, the job must be exported out of Repro 

Desk and then imported into PlotWorks. There are a few simple methods to 

accomplish this depending on how your organization is set up. This section 

describes some of these methods.

To export jobs from Repro Desk, you can set up the Repro Desk Client to send 

jobs via modem, drive letter, or to a specified Network Polling directory. You can 

also send jobs from the Repro Desk Queue directly to a PlotWorks Network 

Polling directory. 

To import the job into PlotWorks, you can open the job in the PlotWorks Job 

Editor just as you would open a PlotWorks print job, or you can use Network 

Polling and poll a specified directory for Repro Desk jobs.

Many jobs can be sent directly to PlotWorks without any problems. However it is 

necessary to process some files in Repro Desk before PlotWorks can use them. 

The following types of files need to be processed in Repro Desk before they are 

sent to PlotWorks:

 •

 DWG files: DWG files must be processed in Repro Desk before they are 

sent to PlotWorks unless AutoCAD is used at the print location for file 

processing.

 •

 Files named the same: If the Repro Desk job contains files that are 

different but have the same name, the files must be processed in Repro Desk 

before the job is submitted. Processing the job in Repro Desk generates VIC 

files with different names that PlotWorks can use. 

 •

 Offset images: If the original image is offset from the origin, the file needs 

to be processed in Repro Desk to determine the offset value. 

One common method of printing Repro Desk jobs using PlotWorks is by using 

the PlotWorks Network Polling application. To use this method you set up Repro 

Desk to send jobs to a specific directory or Repro Desk Queue. Then you set up 

Network Polling to send jobs from the Network Polling Directory to PlotWorks
