Migrating job tickets from previous versions of Infoprint Submit

To migrate job tickets from a previous version of Submit to your current version of Submit on Mac OS Version 10.1, do the following:

1. From the previous version of Submit, open the job ticket you want to migrate.
2. Submit the job:
   • Open the Ticket menu and select Submit Job to submit the job.
   • Select the Schedule tab from the Submit dialog.
   • Select Hold from the RIP options group box.
   • Click OK to submit the job.
3. Select Options-->Job Status to open the Job Status dialog.
4. Do the following to copy the contents of the job ticket file to a text file:
   • Select the ticket you want to migrate.
   • Click the View Ticket button to open the Job Ticket window.
   • Highlight the entire contents of the job ticket file.
   • Copy the contents of the job ticket file to the clipboard. (For Windows systems, press Ctrl+C. For Macintosh systems, press Command+C.)
   • Open a new file in a text editor.
   • Paste the job ticket file contents into this new file. (For Windows systems, press Ctrl+V. For Macintosh systems, press Command+V.)
   • Save the file. (Be sure this file has an extension of .jtk.)
5. Transfer all source files listed in your job ticket file, and the converted job ticket file, to the system that has the current version of Submit. Save them in the directory where the Infoprint Submit files have been saved or where they can be easily located.
6. In your current version of Submit, select Ticket-->Open to open the migrated job ticket file. An error may occur the first time you assign a source file to the migrated job ticket if the path to the file has changed. Use the Browse function to locate the file, and Submit will save the new location information.
