Chapter 1 TD Bridge Overview TD Bridge Overview This chapter provides an overview of TD Bridge and explains the functions. In addition to that, the following information is provided; system requirements, supported disc types, and system examples using TD Bridge with cooperative applications. What is TD Bridge? TD Bridge allows you to interface your system to PP-100/PP-100N for publishing discs by means of HotFolder method.
System Conceptual Diagram Your cooperative application and TD Bridge work together as shown below.
Chapter 1 TD Bridge Overview Preprocessing Print data When writing is started, the RJD file is changed to INP (IN Process) file. The job information is written to a STF file. When writing or printing is started, the RJD file is changed to INP (IN Progress) file. The job information is written to a STF (STatus File) file.
Canceling the job The following diagram shows the operation sequence when the JCF file is moved to the monitoring folder and then canceled by the cooperative application. Specifies JobID to be created when cancelled Your Cooperative Application JCF In the same computer Ԙ Moved into monitoring folder Monitoring Folder DON STF INP Ԛ JCF (1) The cooperative application creates a JCF file and moves it to the monitoring folder. (2) When a JDF file is found in the folder, cancel processing is started.
Chapter 1 TD Bridge Overview Error handling When an error occurs while checking the RJD file or writing data to a disc, the RJD file or INP file is changed to ERR (ERRor) file. The error code is written to the STF file. When an error occurs while checking the RJD file or writing/printing data to a disc, the RJD file or INP file is changed to ERR (ERRor) file. The error code is written to the STF file.
