Publish Date | 8 | The publishing date that you are interfacing information for, in mmddyyyy format (month, day, year). |
Quantity | 5 | The draw quantity for this route. This quantity is used only for the mix records, and will not change the route’s actual or advance draw. |
Mix Name | 8 | The name of the insert mix for this route. You can have a record with “*” to cover routes with no insert mix. |
Mix Combination | 10 | The mix combination for this route. This corresponds to a certain combination of inserts being delivered by the route. This must be an integer. |
Paper Section | 8 | The section of the paper where the preprints will be inserted. If you are interfacing sizes for a regular (rather than advanced run), leave this field blank. |
Standard Size Minimum Size Maximum Size | 3 3 3 | In these fields, enter the bundle sizes for the route. Note: routes with the same mix combination should have the same bundle sizes. If the interface finds a route with the same combination but different sizes, it will prompt the user during runtime as to whether the sizes should be kept or updated. |
