Job Properties

Job Properties can be accessed from within Roland ColorChoice and are settings associated with a particular
job. The Job Properties come from either the Printing Properties set in client, or the Setup Properties set in
RIP Software. Within Job Properties you may preview the job by selecting Page Preview, Layout Preview or
No Preview (Macintosh only). Page Preview displays the image of the job. Layout Preview displays the job
relative to the output media. (See the Job Properties General Tab section for additional details).

Save As

The Save As command allows you to save an image into native file formats. Once a job has been printed, you
