4-9 Workflow scenarios
Perhaps this is a routine job and does not call for special handling. You right-click the
job and choose Print. You notice the RIP status bar animate, and almost immediately,
the Print status bar animates. The printed job is listed below the Print status bar and
the job pages emerge from the copier.
The next job is a large job that you have not seen before. The Instructions field
indicates that the originator of the job wants to check one printout of the job before
you print another 50 copies. You make sure the Copies field is set to 1, right-click the
job, and choose Print and Hold.
The RIP status bar animates and displays the job title, and then the Print status bar
and copy 1 of the job emerges from the copier. You call the sender of the job for
approval. When the job is approved, you set the number of copies to 50, right-click the
job now being held in the RIP area and choose Print.
Scenario 3 Everyone has discovered the copier on the network and jobs are coming in
rapidly. You right-click several routine jobs in the Spool area and choose Print to let the
server print them one after the other. You choose Print and Hold if you know you will
be reprinting the job soon. You remove printed jobs from the output trays and
replenish media.
While some jobs are flowing through the queues and printing, you are preparing for
jobs that require more attention, such as obtaining special paper, using DocBuilder Pro
to merge two documents, or notifying the originator of a job that a PostScript error
occurred.
Before you load special paper, you make sure all pending jobs are in holding areas.
When an especially important job is spooled for RIPping, you right-click Process Next.
NOTE: If a job that contains different page sizes is printed, be sure to reboot the
ColorPASS using the Reboot command from the Control Panel.
