Job templates

A template makes it faster and easier to create jobs with the same settings. Create a template with the job properties configured as required and then create jobs from the template.

Templates are used only to import a set of job properties as you create the job. Editing or deleting a template has no effect on jobs previously created from the template.

Tap and select Settings / Templates. The Templates screen shows the default templates provided with the software and any templates you have created.

  2. Enter the template name.

  3. To create the template from another template or the last used job, select the template or Last used job in the Copy from field.

    The properties from the selected template or job are copied into the job. Edit the properties as required.

  4. Tap Accept.
  1. Tap Import.
  2. In the Select job screen, select the job. Tap Accept.
