A
Overnight job scenario
In this scenario, the print service provider (PSP) is nearing the end of the business day and receives a new
order which requires delivery early the next day. The plotter is currently printing and there are jobs in the
queue which must also be delivered the next day. The best solution is to queue the new job and print it
overnight.
The following information describes the necessary tasks to ensure worry-free overnight printing.
Task 1: Handle the digital content
The following steps will help you to successfully handle the digital content.
1
. Open the PDF file in Adobe Acrobat.
2
. Ensure you have all the necessary information to submit the job, including fonts and high-resolution
images.
3
. Check the orientation, margins, typography, color and resolution to ensure that there are no printing
or finishing inconsistencies.
4
. Print a draft copy of the work on a small printer as a proof for validation.
5
. Generate the PDF for the RIP.
6
. Move the PDF file to the RIP station.
NOTE: Ensure the job can be completed and delivered on time given the current workload and
the paper and ink supplies.
Task 2: Handle the paper
Ensure that there is enough paper left in the current roll to accommodate all of the queued jobs and the
new order. If there is not enough paper left, pause the print queue and load a new roll.
