Mimotek PP Output - This is where Mimotek places articles that it believes require post processing.  Putting files into Post Processing depends on the number of pages in the article and the automated reshaping performed by Mimotek. These articles are then loaded into one of two JPEG conversion directories called JPEG QUEUE  1 and JPEG QUEUE  2.

 

JPEG QUEUE  1 & JPEG QUEUE 2- These are the load balanced directories where article source PDF pages are converted to JPEGs. They are moved to Done once successfully converted.

Done - This is where the converted page PDFs are placed. These are then moved to Load Area.

Out - This is where the JPG versions of split and converted PDF pages are placed. These are then moved to another directory which is not displayed here as it is not a queue directory.

Problem - This is where PDF pages which fail JPEG conversion are placed. The problem pages are retried up to 5 times.

 

Load Area - This is where articles are stored as they wait to be picked up by the database loader which makes them available to the operators via a Post Processing Interface.

 

Unchecked by Operator - These are the files which have been loaded into the database and ready for post processing by the operators. Once an operator begins post processing an article, the article is removed from this list.

 

Recompression - This is where the individual post processed jpg articles are recompressed as TIFFs. Following successful conversion they are moved to PDF Merging.

 

PDF Merging - This is where the recompressed TIFFs are converted and merged into one PDF per article. Following successful merging, they are moved to Next Batch Transfer to London.

 

Next Batch Transfer to London - This is where the post processed article PDFs await delivery to London in the next batch.  They are moved to Current Batch Transfer to London once the current batch has been successfully delivered to London.

 

Current Batch Transfer to London - This is the batch of post processed articles which are currently being transferred to London.  Articles are only removed from this list once the entire current batch is successfully delivered to London.
