Esko Proof Server Configuration

This configuration will connect your Automation Engine server (and Imaging Engine) to your Esko Proof Server, so that Imaging Engine can send files to the Proof Server, for proofing on your device.

For more flexibility, you can connect to several Proof Servers, and have access to all the workflows configured on these Proof Servers. When sending files through Imaging Engine's Proof for Content Approval task, you can then select which workflow of which Proof Server you want to use.

Important: You need to perform this configuration before you can use the Proof for Content Approval task.
  1. In the Automation Engine Pilot, go to Tools > Configure.
  2. Select Proof Servers in the left pane.
  3. For each Proof Server that you want to connect to:
    1. Click on the Add or + button at the bottom of the right pane.
    2. In the New Proof Server pop-up, enter the name of the server on which your Proof Server is running, and click Add.
      Note:

      If you get an error message like The shared folder "ProofFolder" on the host is not writable for the user BGSYSTEM, it means that Automation Engine cannot access the Proof Server share (where it needs to send files to proof).

      In this case, follow the steps in Giving Automation Engine Access to the Esko Proof Server Share.

    3. In the Status column, check that your Proof Server is Running.
    You also can Remove the connection to a Proof Server if needed by clicking on the Remove or - button on the right pane.
  4. Go to File > Save or use Ctrl+S (on PC) to save your configuration.
