Floor | Printing Station

The Print station in the Floor module is where production is triggered. A job item ID barcode can be scanned to bring up the items details. The page is split into 3 panels when a job item has been scanned.

1. Left Panel - Provides item details including quantity, size, colour, print area currently being produces, order number and SKU.
2. Middle Panel - Shows a thumbnail of the product and if the item has multiple print areas it will show a list with a small view of each clearly showing which is being worked on.
3. Right Panel - Is the signpost area for identifying actions 
   

After an item has been scanned and loaded into the station it should be scanned again to confirm production can proceed where artwork will be downloaded or integrations will be triggered.

After one item has been scanned twice and produced the station is ready to scan the next barcode. If there was a production issue the platform also shows a "Re-Print" button which will re-trigger artwork downloads.

Full Screen Mode

A useful option on the Kornit X Floor Station is the full screen mode. Where a single computer is going to be used only for that station it allows a cleaner view with now room for error or switching, it keeps focus on the stations intended purpose. Full screen mode can be toggled on and off using the icon in the top right of the station which looks like the below.  

"There is an advanced company setting under the Production Centre company which allows the artwork files to be downloaded as a ZIP file. Enabling this will compress all artwork files into a ZIP file which can be helpful for customers with network performance issues using Colorgate RIP where multiple artwork files are downloaded upon scan or in any other workflow where the use of ZIP files is required. This can be set under Floor V3 / Print Station / Enable ZIP".

There is an advanced setting on the users primary company which allows a bypass to the default behaviour which is is one scan to show the details, second scan to download artwork. Enabling this allows the second scan to be removed and the single scan displays and downloads. This can be set under  "Floor V3 / Print Station / Disable Double Scan"
