2.5.9 Preflight a PrintShop Mail document
The Preflight method is only available for PrintShop Mail documents and will verify the database and the
PrintShop Mail document. This process checks for possible errors on the layouts (e.g. text that doesn't fit its
bounding box). To preflight a print job before printing the jobs:
1. Click Order Manager in the Menu bar. The Order Manager page is shown.
2. Click In-plant in the side menu.
3. Click the plus-symbol next to the order ID to view the jobs of this order.
4. Select a job by clicking its ID or document name. The Job Properties page is displayed showing job
details and an Output history overview.
5. Click Generate Output in the Action bar. The Output dialog is shown.
6. Select Preflight in the Method pull-down-menu.

7. In the Output dialog the following sections becomes visible:
▪ Information Sheet: Along the top of the dialog a Sheet is added. The sheet contains additional
information. The information is shown by clicking the handle of the sheet.
▪ General:
▪ Method: Select the Output Method here.
▪ Printer: Select the Output Printer in the pull-down-menu. The printers shown in the pull-
down-menu are set by PrintShop Server. Stopping and starting PrintShop Server will refresh
the actual printer list. An overview of available printers is also visible in the Settings section.
Blacklisted printers are not shown. Printers can be blacklisted/disabled in the Printers section
of the Settings section.
▪ Copies and Range:
▪ Range method: The Range method determines the range of records that should be
checked. Default All is selected.
▪ Range: Specify the Range if needed.
8. Click OK to start preflighting the file. Once the process is completed the Preflight Result dialog is shown.
Any problems with the print job will be shown here.
Important: If images are used in PrintShop Mail based upon conditions, and these conditions
determine that the image should not be displayed (empty file name as a result), a notification
will be included in the preflighting data for each empty image. The notification displayed is "No
image specified". In order to avoid this notification you may want to use in PrintShop Mail a
transparent image as an alternative for the empty file name.
