Workflow Process Parameters directly accesses the default print settings through the printer's public application programming interface (API). The default print profile settings can be used as they are or customized for printing. The client software generates a job ticket containing print data such as job settings, models and packing information. The job ticket is then transmitted to the printer where it passes through firmware validation before queuing for print. Activation Process Parameters are activated by default. Client application The client application is usually a build preparation software (Gravity, Materialise Magics, or Autodesk Netfabb for example). It can connect to the printer and read machine information such as the job list, print settings, supplies status etc. Print settings are customizable and you can create new profiles. The software can also be used to efficiently arrange the models in the virtual build platform. NOTICE: HP Smart Stream Build Manager does not handle Process Parameters. It can only use the default parameters in the default printing modes. Process Parameters configuration The Process Parameters configuration table contains the list of process parameters along with the corresponding ranges, defaults, and units.
