Preflight check

The Run preflight parameter enables you to check the status of
key job components before the job is sent for printing.
During the preflight check, your job is RIPed and the missing
components are identified. The preflight check detects the status
of the following key job components:
High-resolution images or the wrong links to the high-resolution
●
images folder
Missing fonts
●
Spot colors that are not defined in the CX print server spot color
●
dictionary
Dynamic exception commands for a file that was submitted via
●
a dynamic page exceptions virtual printer

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 in
the Preflight Report dialog box. You can review the report and
resolve the missing components and thus save processing time
without error or failed messages constantly appearing.
If you run a preflight check and all key components are found, the
job is processed and printed according to the job flow that you
selected. If the test fails (missing key elements are detected), the
job is returned to the Storage area with the preflight report
available for inspection.
