Chapter 8 – Setting Parameters

Job Flow

The

Job Flow parameter enables you to specify a job flow for a job that is imported

to the Spire CX260 from the network or from the Spire CX260 folders.

¾

Select one of the job flow options:

ˆ

Process & Print: to set the Spire CX260 to RIP the PDL files, print them, and
store them in the

Storage window (unless the Job Deletion parameter is set

to

Delete after Complete)

ˆ

Process & Store: to RIP the PDL files and move them to the Storage window
as RTP jobs

ˆ

Spool & Store: places the PDL files directly into the Storage window without
processing them.

Preflight

¾

Select

Run preflight check to check the status of key job components before the

job is sent for printing.

Your job is RIPed and the missing components are identified.

You can set the preflight to detect the following problems:

ˆ

High-resolution images

ˆ

Incorrect links to the high-resolution images folder

ˆ

Missing fonts

ˆ

Spot colors that are not defined in the Spire CX260 spot color dictionary

The results of the preflight check are displayed in a Preflight Report. To generate this
report, right-click the RTP job in the Storage window and select

Preflight Report. For

more information on the Preflight Report, see Preflight Report on page 110.

Job Slug

1.

To print a slug in the margins of your job, select the desired options:

Color bar to print a measurable color bar. Looking at this bar, you can tell the
state of the printer and whether the quality is consistent. You might need to
calibrate the printer or perform color proofing.

Date and Time

2.

In the

Comment box, type comments up to 30 characters.

Note: This option can be defined only through the PPD parameters of the
virtual printer.

Note: If a job component is missing, the job fails before it is RIPed and an alert
message appears. The job is transferred to the Storage window. Information
about missing components will appear in the Job History window.

Note: This feature is only available for the Pro Basic and Pro Control Station
configurations.
