2 • Click on New.

3 • Find the desired folder, open it, and double-click on the name of the template inside it.

4 • To stop a folder from being polled, click on the name of its template in the Separation Fold-

ers window, and click on Stop or Delete.

5 • To restart polling of a folder, click on the name of its template in the Separation Folders

window and click on Start.

Setting up a separation folder (Mac)

• The Separation Folders window will appear.

• If the Separation Folders... command is dimmed, click on the Jobs window

first.

• Macintosh: If the Separation Folders... command is not visible, choose Pref-

erences... from ColorQuartet’s Edit menu and check that Full Menus is acti-

vated in the Features tab.

A standard Open... dialogue will appear.

The name of the template will appear in the list in the Separation Fold-

ers window and the folder will begin to be polled for files that need to

be separated. Any files found will be separated, the original file will be

moved from the Queued folder to the Processed folder, and the sepa-

rated file will have the suffix .CMYK added to its name and will be saved

in the location you specified in the separation template.

• Clicking on Stop leaves the name of the template in the list, but stops poll-

ing.

• Clicking on Delete removes the template from the list, but does not delete it

from your system.
