7.3.5 Configuration for Click5000 or Kiosk, sending data to remote
laboratory (FTP connection)
On sending jobs from Clic or Kiosk, we assume that we are working on an FTP connection. We
therefore consider that the size of the picture files is not an issue due to the lower data
transmission speed. We shall configure the system to send the pictures in JPG format. File
formats other than JPG will be converted to this format, and pictures which are originally JPG
which surpass the value of the OPTSIZEDISK parameter will be resized and compressed
depending on the WIDTH and HEIGHT parameters of the printers selected and the
COMPRESSION general parameter.
The MITSUBISHI LAB default formats should be changed to configure the print formats
compatible with the targets.
The parameters to be changed are shown below, step by step.
7.3.5.1 Section [General]
1
) NUM_FORMAT = X
It is the number of the different printing sizes that the remote laboratory can offer.
2) NUM_CUSTOMER_ASK=X
‘X’ is the number of questions the customer will be asked to inform the remote laboratory or
include them in the details of the request of DPS LAB.
Leave at ‘0’ if no information is required.
3) TITLE24H, DESCRIPTION24H, TICKETINFO24H
Please configure these values to clearly explain the service to the Kiosk/Click customer.
Check the example below to see sample values.
4) COMPRESSION=0
Please do not change this value for a connection of this type. This value may change from ‘0’
to ‘100’. ‘0’ is the value that represents maximum quality and less compression of the JPG
archives generated by the DPSMinilab application.
If the quality of the connection is poor and you need to reduce the final size of the picture you
may try values below 10, where picture quality is still high.
5) OPTSIZEDISK=2500
value in Kbytes. 2500 means 2.5Mbytes per picture. This value is the maximum file size that
can be sent over the FTP connection. It should be configured to a value around this.
2.5Mbytes for a JPG is a good value to conserve the quality of the picture if compression is
not very high. This means that neither the size nor the resolution of any picture with a file size
below 2.5MB will be modified (provided that the file format is JPG, otherwise it will be
modified anyway).
6) IMGCOMP=1
