Print variable data jobs with remote resources

File Search Path lets you specify a shared location to store remote variable data resources, such as images and fonts. The Fiery Server accesses all required resources at the location specified and retrieves them automatically.

If you know the path location, you can also search for external resources on a job-by-job basis. Before you print the job, set the File Search Path. File Search Path accepts the following VDP languages:

  • Creo VPS

  • VIPP

  • PPML

To search for resources remote to the Fiery Server, you must enter the File Search Path to the remote network computer in Configure. See Configure Help.

Note: If the Fiery Server cannot find the reusable objects for the job, the job does not process. Make sure that you enter the correct File Search Path location.
  1. Submit the Creo VPS, VIPP, or PPML job to the Fiery Server using a third-party application that supports the VDP language.
  2. In Command WorkStation, select the Creo VPS, VIPP, or PPML job and select Actions > Job Properties .
  3. Click the VDP tab and enter the File Search Path location.
  4. Process the Creo VPS, VIPP, or PPML job.
