Job Properties

The Job Properties page displays all the details for the selected document in an order. It also lets an Operator generate output for this document if the document is In-Plant status.

To generate the job's output, click Generate Output in the Action bar. The Output dialog is shown.

The Output dialog has the following options:

• General Group:
  • Method: Choose between these 5 output methods. The rest of the options will depend on the output method you choose.
    • Print: Sends the job to a physical printer installed on the PrintShop Mail Web server.
    • Print to File: Creates a postscript version of the job and saves it in the selected output folder.
    • Create PDF: Generates a PDF file of the job and saves it in the selected output folder.
    • Preflight: Does a verification of the document by simulating the output. However, it does not actually create any output. Will display a report with any error found.
  • Printer: Select the printer of which the drivers will be used to generate the job. Even when generating a PDF, the printer is necessary as it is the one who determines the page sizes and margins, etc. This printer selection should correspond to the printer selected when creating the document if it is a PrintShop Mail Design document that was used to create this job.
  • Job Option File (Create PDF output): When creating a PDF output, you can use one of the built-in job options files to adjust the quality of the PDF file.
  • Output Folder (Print to File and Create PDF outputs): This is where the output will be generated unless it is printed out. Output folder are created in the Output Folders section of the Settings window.
• Copies and Range Group:
  • Copies: The number of copies for the file. Note that they will automatically be collated.
  • Range: Select whether you want the whole job to be generated or just a subset of records (not pages).
  • From: The first record you wish to use in the set.
  • To: The last record to use in the set.
