ONYX Switch Connect™ is an open system that provides a simple developer interface to connect a print service provider’s current business workflow solution to ONYX production software without replacing existing business workflows with a proprietary or RIP-specific solution. This is an optional module for ONYX Thrive™.

This enables business owners and production managers to gain greater insight into valuable production information such as estimated ink consumption, media usage, and production times with a simple developer interface.

Create automated job submission using JDF (Job Definition Format) technology and ONYX hot folders providing control of critical job settings and reducing errors introduced by manual intervention during the production process. JDF tickets will also enable automated updates to job status.

ONYX Thrive Production Manager browser-based capabilities are extended by adding remote access to the printed job information.

It can be used along the ONYX Switch Status app. This enables users to retrieve and utilize job status change notifications as jobs move through the print production workflow. Designed to work in tandem with ONYX Switch Connect, notifications include:
- when a job is printing, has printed, failed, or moved from the active to the buffered job queue. The buffered job queue in ONYX software includes completed, deleted, on-hold, or failed print status jobs.
