7-10 Fiery Spooler
While it is printing, a job consists of PostScript or PCL and raster data. The raster data
in RAM is not cleared until memory is needed to rasterize the next job. As long as the
raster data is intact, the job can be reprinted from the Printed queue. Printed jobs are
represented by a white PostScript icon (Icon 1). If the job was printed from a held
raster job (in the RIP area), the raster data in the RIP area remains and can be used to
reprint the job after the raster data has been cleared from the Printed queue.
Previewing, editing, and merging jobs
Fiery Spooler includes two thumbnail windows that allow you to preview and edit
raster data. You can use the thumbnail windows in the following ways:
• In Thumbnail A, you can view the currently printing job as it is RIPping, or any
raster data job.
• From Thumbnail A, you can open a full-screen preview of a raster file.
• Using Thumbnail A and Thumbnail B together, you can merge raster data from
more than one file, even if the files were printed from different applications on
different computer platforms.
The job merge features eliminates the limitations of certain software applications. You
can merge raster pages of documents of different types, and from different computer
operating systems. You can merge color pages from graphics programs with text pages
from a word processor.
Previewing raster jobs
You can use Thumbnail A to preview pages of the currently RIPping job. You can also
use Thumbnail A and Thumbnail B to preview any held raster data job in the RIP
area.
The thumbnail windows also allow you to open a thumbnail view of any held raster
data job in the RIP area and perform electronic collation or document merging. For
more information about this feature, see
Previewing the currently rasterizing job
To see the progress of jobs as they are RIPped, leave Thumbnail A open in RIP Preview
mode.
