Creating a low-resolution FPO file for an OPI server

FPO (“for positioning only”) means a low-resolution image that is used for creating layouts in

systems with an OPI server.

• The low-resolution images, which are much faster to work with in the layout phase, are cre-

ated by the scanning software, based on the high-resolution scans.

• The FPO images are each linked to their corresponding high-resolution scans, which are typi-

cally stored in a server.

• When the job is ready for output, the OPI software automatically removes each low-resolution

FPO image from the job and puts in the corresponding high-resolution image instead.

To produce FPO images with ColorQuartet:

1 • In the Scan Setup

window for the desired scan, activate the Export FPO

box.

2 • Choose OPI High Resolution Folder... from the File menu and assign the

location where you want to store the high-resolution images. This loca-

tion is remembered until you change it. Note that it is the low-resolution

images (which are based on ColorQuartet’s preview scans) that will be

placed in the location assigned to each scan via the Scan Setup window.

(Macintosh: If the OPI High Resolution Folder... command is not visible,

choose Preferences... from ColorQuartet’s Edit menu and check that Full

Menus is activated in the Features tab.)
