**KIS-DKS General Settings:**

- **DKS Path:** Enter the UNC path to the desired folder location to which orders from the APM should copy. This should be set to \*\\DKS\rep\_DKS\sortie\_print\*, which is the priority folder.

- **DKS Alternate Priority Path:** Set this option to the secondary path that will serve as a drop point for orders that  
  are set to the priority level designated in the settings later in this appendix. Normally, this location should be \\DKS\rep\_dks\ordre-externe\.

- **Temporary Folder Path:** The UNC path to the folder on the local kiosk where order files are placed before being sent to the DKS. The default setting is \*C:\APM\_FOLDERS\DKS\_Tmp\*.

- **Priority to Alternate Path:** Orders are normally sent to the path specified in the **DKS Path** setting, however, when an order priority type matches the setting specified in this field, the order will be sent to the path specified as the **DKS Alternate Priority Path**.

- **Primary** and **Secondary Priority, Cutoff, and Path:** For each of the three fulfillments, these settings are explained in the Setting Priorities section below. Unless there are specific time-sensitive or print count requirements in the order, then the priorities can all be set to **normal** and with a print cutoff of **0**.

- **Back Print Line 1 Template** and **Back Print Line 2 Template:** Used to specify the desired back print format using the case-sensitive parameters listed below.

The following is a list of available case-sensitive parameters that may be used:

- **%ORDER%** - Order Number
- **%PRODUCT%** - Product Name
- **%PROD\_ID%** - Product Id
- **%FINISH%** - Finish option (glossy/matte)
- **%QTY%** - Quantity
- **%ORIG\_FN%** - Original File Name
- **%ITEM%** - Item Index
- **%YEAR%** - Current 4 digit year
- **%MONTH%** - Current 2 digit month
- **%DAY%** - Current 2 digit day
- **%FNAME%** - Customer first name
- **%LNAME%** - Customer last name
- **%PHONE%** - Customer phone number

- **Glossy Index** and **Matte Index:** Set these options to **0** and **1**, respectively, so that they are in line with the default settings on the DKS.

- **Debug Mode:** If after changing all of the settings the KIS-DKS printer interface does not work, come back to this screen and set this to **True**. The default value is false.

- **Products Configured:** This is used to configure the paper size user for each product. See the Product Setup section of this appendix for detailed instructions.
