6

Autoflow

Sets whether to enable auto flow, and the automatic start conditions for the rendering process.

7

Automatically flow pages

Check the checkbox to enable the auto flow process.

Autoflow Process

When the auto flow process is enabled, the following processes are executed when input data is added to the [Source Files] pane.

  1. In the [Reading Order] pane, all pages of the input data are assigned.
  2. A section is added to the [Job Structure] pane, and all pages of the input data are assigned to that section.
  3. All pages are assigned to all products that can be set in the page assignment set in the [Job Workflow Manager].
  4. The job is in the page waiting status.
  5. [Complete Job] is displayed at the top of [Job Edit] screen.

When [Complete Job] is clicked, the job can be rendered. At the same time, the check mark is removed from the [Automatically flow pages].

If [Save] is then clicked, the job rendering process starts.

Note
  1. If a product that can be assigned with pages is added to the [Job Workflow Manager] when [Complete Job] is displayed, pages are automatically assigned to the product, as well.
  2. Even if [Save] is clicked when [Complete Job] is displayed, the rendering process is not performed on the job, and the job is saved in the page waiting status.
  3. If an imposition template is set for a job, if the total number of pages for input data is larger than the set number of sheets, sheets are automatically added. However, if the total number of pages is smaller, the number of blank deficit pages is automatically added in the [Reading Order] pane.
  4. If there are some sheets that do not have pages assigned, those sheets are automatically deleted.

8

Automatically complete job after

When this checkbox is checked and numerical values entered, at the point when the set number of documents or pages is input, the status changes to that when [Complete Job] is clicked (the job rendering process can be performed).

Documents: When the quantity of job input data reaches the setting value, the rendering process can be performed.

Pages: When the quantity of pages included in the job input data reaches the setting value, the rendering process can be performed.

Note
  1. When the quantity of job input data or number of pages in the input data exceeds the setting value of this item, the pages exceeding the setting value are assigned to [Reading Order] pane, [Job Structure] pane - [Sections], and the various workflow items.
  2. In variable jobs, the setting value of [Documents] is fixed to "1".

9

Processing Options

Select whether to execute the preflight/action list performed in the page preparation process, thumbnail generation, page rotation, and page label setting processes.

10

Skip 'Font Embedding' 'Preflight' and 'Action Lists' for 'OutlinePDF' documents

When this checkbox is checked, font embedding, preflight, and action list processes are not performed for the outline PDF.

Note
  1. Outline PDF refers to the PDF output from the workflow RIP system Trueflow manufactured by DAINIPPON SCREEN MFG. CO., LTD. All objects other than the images are configured from pass objects.
  2. Outline PDF includes files in the OutlinePDF-Advance format.

11

Skip 'Font Embedding' 'Preflight' and 'Action Lists' for 'RasterPDF' documents

When this checkbox is checked, font embedding, preflight, and action list processes are not performed for the raster PDF.

Note
  1. Raster PDF indicates the PDF output from XMF. All are configured from image objects.

12

Skip 'Font Embedding' 'Preflight' and 'Action Lists' for 'FinishedPDF/X' documents When this checkbox is checked, font embedding, preflight, and action list processes are not performed for the Finished PDF/X.

13

Generate Thumbnails When this checkbox is checked, thumbnails displayed in the [Job Edit] screen - [Source Files] pane and [Reading Order] pane are generated.

14

Create low resolution preview images for viewer

Check this checkbox to generate low resolution images for the viewer.

This will shorten the start-up time when opening the viewer.

Note
  • The low resolution image is generated after performing the page preparation. If a viewer is opened while generation is in progress, the image is not displayed. In this case, close the viewer and then open it again.
  • Low resolution images are only displayed when the viewer display mode is [Document Mode].
  • In viewers other than 3D Proofer, you can switch the image display modes (between low resolution and normal).
  • This cannot be set in variable jobs.

15

Rotate Pages When [] is clicked and the rotation angle is selected, the input data is rotated clockwise to the selected angle, and the page preparation process is executed.

16

Honour Document Page Labels When this checkbox is checked, the page number settings configured for the input data (PDF) are reflected in the [Page Properties] of pages displayed in the [Reading Order] pane.

17

Convert JPEG compression to Flate

When this checkbox is checked, the compression type of JPEG images included in the input data (PDF) is converted to the Flate format.

Note
  • Images in the JPEG 2000 format are not converted.

18

Convert Stroke To Fill

Performs RIP processing so that the calculation result approximates the display in Acrobat.

Note
  • During RIP processing, missing areas may occur on objects depending on the job. In such cases, you can select [Convert Stroke To Fill] to perform RIP processing without creating missing areas.
Restriction
  • To display this item, CML file settings must be configured in advance. For details, contact the service engineer.

19

Separated File Handling

Sets whether or not to recomposite (re-combine) in XMF and generate a PDF when the input file is a separated PS/PDF.

20

Re-combine separated files

Check the checkbox to recomposite (re-combine) in XMF and generate a PDF when a separated PS/PDF is input.

Note
  • This item can only be edited when creating a job template.
  • The recomposite process and PDFs after recomposition are as follows.
  • Page preparation and the process when saving a job are executed for the PDF after recomposition, not the separated PS/PDF, which is the input file. (When [Preflight & Action Lists] pane - [Preflight Options] - [Execution timing] is set to [First], only the preflight process is executed for the separated PDF.)
  • It may not be possible to recomposite a separated PS/PDF that was input with JDF.
  • Depending on the application used to create the file, recompositing may not be performed correctly.
  • Data that exceeds 1,000 pages or is 2 GB or larger cannot be recomposited.
  • 16-bit images and Illustrator gradient mesh effects cannot be properly recomposited.
  • For a separated PS/PDF that includes spot colour media, the spot colour is displayed according to the ink settings registered to [Inks] - [Job Ink Management] for the job setting or to [Ink Management] on [Administration] screen.
    A temporarily assigned colour is displayed if the ink for the given spot colour is not registered. [] is displayed at [Provisional] in [Inks] pane of the job setting for spot colours where provisional colours are assigned.
  • For jobs using a separated PS/PDF that includes spot colour media, the re-composite process may fail if the given spot colour is not in the ink pool selected in [Page Prep Preferences] - [Default Ink Mapping] in the job setting.
  • The overprint settings set in XMF are not applied.
  • If a PDF after recomposition is output as a vector PDF, colour conversion is not performed. Also, spot colours cannot be separated into process colours.
  • If a PDF after recomposition is output as a rasterised PDF, the CMYK values of the input file are treated as the CMYK values of the document colour space, without converting the colours from the input colour space to the document colour space.
  • A PDF after recomposition has a larger data size per page than a normal PDF. Therefore, depending on the colour conversion setting, the APPE may have insufficient memory and the rasterising process may result in an error. In this case, output may be possible by using Configuration Tool to increase the usage memory of the APPE. For details on Configuration Tool settings, contact the administrator.
