Preflight Check 381
The results of the preflight check are displayed in a
Preflight Report
. By
default, a preflight report is not issued for each job. To issue this report,
you need to run a preflight check for the job using the
Preflight
job
parameter.
To run a preflight check:
¾
In the
Preflight options
area, select
Run Preflight check
.
All four check boxes of the key job components are active but you can
clear any check box that you don’t want to include in the preflight
check.
Preflight Report
The preflight report is a job-related report that provides information about
the status (missing or found) of key job components prior to printing and
enables you to correct your files accordingly.
It is especially useful to run the preflight check before you print a complex
job with a large quantity of pages or copies. The preflight check detects the
missing job components and displays them all at once in the Preflight
Report dialog box. You can review the report and handle the missing
components and thus save inefficient printing time with constant error or
failed messages.
If you run a preflight check, and all key components are found, the job is
processed and printed according to the job flow you have selected. If the
test fails (missing key elements are detected), the job is returned to the
Storage window
with the preflight report available for inspection.
The preflight report always reflects the last preflight run, if more than one
preflight check is run on a job, the latest preflight report overrides the
previous. When a preflight report is produced, the date and time of the
preflight check are indicated in the Jobs History window.
Note: If one of the selected elements on the list is missing, the job status at
the end of the preflight check is “Failed” and the job is transferred to the
Storage window.
Note: Since the Preflight Report dialog box lists all key job components (missing
and found), you can choose to use this report to view the existing (found) key job
components, for example the list of the existing fonts in a job, and their
corresponding paths.
