3-4 Introduction to the Command WorkStation
NOTE: The term “PostScript” is used in this manual to refer to both PostScript and
PDF data jobs. PDF is a structured form of PostScript that provides the ability to
preview, scale, and reorder pages. Where applicable, the term “PDF” is specifically used
to refer to PDF data or jobs.
• RIPped jobs—Jobs listed below the RIP status bar are ready to print. They have
already been rasterized (RIPped, or processed for printing) and are waiting, in order,
for access to the printer. Rasterized jobs can also be held; held jobs are displayed on a
yellow background.
• Printed jobs—Jobs listed below the Print status bar have already been printed.
Printed jobs can be stored on the ColorPASS disk. The number of jobs that can be
stored (from 1 to 99) is defined in Setup.
You can interact with jobs in the window by selecting them and choosing from Job
menu commands or right-mouse menu commands, or by double-clicking them.
(However, if passwords have been set and you log in as Guest, you can only view jobs;
you cannot change or route them.) This chapter and the next explain the Command
WorkStation interface in detail.
Starting up and logging in
To start up the Command WorkStation application, click the Windows Start button
and choose Command WorkStation from the Programs menu; or, if you have created a
shortcut to the Command WorkStation application, double-click the Command
WorkStation icon.
