help in running prinect signa station from a mac

[Tshepho]

Hi

We've been running signa station on a pc with no problems. I've installed it on our 2 other macs running OSX 10.5.8. The problem I'm having is that we get the message that says the document path can't be encoded.

Thank you in advance.

If operating on Mac, safest way to output towards Meta, is not to print as a job ticket, but as PDF.

Hello Tshepho,

Which version of Signa?

[Tshepho]

Thank you for your response. It is Singa 4.5.1 and MetaDimension 7.5.1.

Thank you in advance.

You cannot have the files to be imposed on your computer. Metadimension has problems linking directly to macs. You have to put them on an external PC server, our in the Metadimension computer itself. Here, we put them on NAS running linux, and it works fine (even in Job ticket).

Yes,

I guess janezl was right. You should try PDF output (Output Parameter Sets / General section).

Or you must read article in installation guide (page 32-34 : Mounting SMB Server Shares section) Maybe it can be useful.

I hope problem will solve.

Regards.

jobticket pdf output has/had issues too.

i would recommend storing all job pdfs on a smb server/share that the meta can reach. meta itself comes to mind here (add more hd space to meta, use it as a jobstore for all pdfs) - added bonus - meta has the pdf already locally. that way standard jobticket always works just fine.
