Separation folders • Overview

• ColorQuartet lets you set up separation folders, each of which contains a template with a pre-

defined CMYK profile.

• When an unseparated TIFF file is put into an active separation folder, it is separated as soon as

possible, according to the preset parameters of the folder’s template. Separation takes place

automatically and in the background.

• Separation folders may be placed in any location accessible to your computer, for example, a

shared volume on an OPI file server.

• To make a separation folder active or inactive, you use the Separation Folders window in the

Scan menu.

• A folder called Queued Files and one called Processed Files appear in the separation folder

when you activate the folder. Queued Files gathers the waiting files until they have been sepa-

rated, at which point the original, unseparated file is automatically moved into the Processed

Files folder. The finished, separated files are saved in the location you specified in the separa-

tion template.
