5. Assign the job a destination of RIP and Hold, Print, or Print and Hold.

Particularly with a variable data job, you may want to RIP and Hold the job so that

you can preview it before printing.

For more information on using FreeForm features, see the Printing Guide.

Downloading ﬁles and fonts

From the Command WorkStation you can download a variety of ﬁle types, as well as

fonts, to the ColorPASS. These ﬁles and fonts can be located anywhere on the network

or on an external device connected to the Command WorkStation computer. You

browse to locate the ﬁles and fonts, select them, and add them to a list of items to be

downloaded. You can specify a limited number of print option settings for ﬁles that

you download (see page 4-27).

To download fonts, the Direct connection must be used. If the Direct connection is

not currently published in Setup, see the Conﬁguration Guide for instructions on how

to publish it.

NOTE: You cannot download TrueType fonts. If you use TrueType fonts in Windows,

you can print them by converting them to Adobe Type 1 fonts. To do this with the

PostScript printer driver on Windows 95/98/Me, click the Fonts tab in the Properties

dialog box and set up the Font Substitution Table as necessary. For Windows NT 4.0,

go to the PostScript tab of the ColorPASS Properties dialog box, then select TrueType

fonts>TrueType fonts setting>Download Softfont. For Windows 2000, go to the

Advanced tab of the ColorPASS Printing Preferences dialog box, then select

Graphic>TrueType Font>Download as Softfont.

The Manage Fonts command (in the Server menu) provides another way to download

fonts to the ColorPASS (see page 4-28).
