**Konica DPOF General Settings:**

- **Folder:** Enter the location of the desired DPOF folder where the orders will go. The default is c:\QDIF-3\QDPRINT.

\*\***Note:** It is recommended that the QDIF-3 folder be shared out so that the Konica printer can see it from across the network and access and modify the orders that will go into this folder.

- **Back Print:** Used to specify the desired back print format using the case-sensitive parameters listed below. (The default value is to print the APM order number and the item number, **%ORDER%, %ITEM%**)

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

- **GEN CRT** and **VUQ NUM:** Use the drop-down menus to select whether the orders will go to a QD-21 or an R1/R1. Please make sure to set both fields to the same value properly by leaving the default **KonicaR1SUPER** or entering **Konica QD-21**. Both fields are case sensitive.

- **Wait for Print:** If set to **True**, the APM and/or Lab 50 software will not print the next order until the Konica minilab has confirmed that it is at the printer. The recommended setting is **False**.

- **Use APM Order Number:** If set to **True**, the order folders will be renamed according to the last four numeric digits of the APM order number, as shown on printed receipts. It is ideal to leave it as **True** in order to match the orders through the printing process. If multiple APMs are printing to the Konica without Lab 50 acting as print management software, then leave this setting at **False**.

- **Render Images:** This option will pre-render all images before they are sent to the printer, providing the correct aspect ratio and border settings. Recommended setting is **True** (Default is **False**).

- **Render DPI:** Enter the desired render DPI in this field. The default is 300. This is only used if the **Render Images** is set to **True**.

- **Debug Mode:** If after changing all of the settings the Konica DPOF interface does not work, come back to this screen and set this to **True**. (Default is **False**.)

- **Purge Days:** Enter the number of days to keep the orders saved on the machine. Setting it to 0 will keep the files indefinitely. Otherwise, the APM and/or Lab 5 machine will delete any orders older than the set number of days when the software opens.
