8 Job editor
The printing data is created and saved as a job in the job editor. A variety of Windows®
similar tools make the operation easier. A job can consist of a lot different objects e.g.
text blocks, graphics or barcodes whose contents and characters are changeable.
Functions as matrix, size, bold type, rotation etc. can be assigned to every single object
irrespectively of each other. Current jobs can be edited or created new also during
running production. All jobs are displayed in the WYSIWYG mode.
Note:
WYSIWYG = What you see is what you get (The display shows exactly what will be
printed)
