		USING THE SPLASH RPX-I	11

Utility toolbar

The Splash RPX-i utility toolbar allows you to access Splash applications and utilities.

TO USE THE TOOLBAR

• To open any of the utilities displayed in the toolbar, click the utility button.

The default toolbar displays buttons for the following utilities:

•ColorCal allows you to perform color calibration. For more information, see the

Color Guide.

•Profile Loader allows you to add ICC profiles. For more information, see the Color Guide.

•CopyCal allows you to create color profiles that simulate the output of any color printer. For more information, see the Color Guide.

•ColorTuner allows you to edit the color output of a RIPped job before all the copies are printed. For more information, see the Color Guide.

•Set Builder allows you to combine several jobs, printing them as a single, collated document. For more information, see page 73.

•Scan allows you to scan jobs directly from the Splash RPX-i. A separate Adobe Photoshop plug-in allows you to scan with Photoshop. For more information, see page 93.

You can add buttons for the following utilities and features:

•Spot Color Editor allows you to add and delete spot colors, as well as change the value output for any spot color. For more information, see the Color Guide.

•Color Profiles allows you to select color profiles. Includes a link to Profile Loader. For more information, see the Color Guide.

•Mixed Media allows you to specify different paper types and trays for individual pages or ranges of pages within a single job. For more information, see page 77.

•Schedule allows you to set a time to print a job and then have the job automatically print at that time. For more information, see page 86.

•Preflight checks jobs spooled at the Splash RPX-i for printing errors before the job is processed. For more information, see page 28.

•Color PostFlight outputs input colors as a tint of a specific primary output color depending on what type of job and what type of color the input is. For more information, see page 28 and the Color Guide.

		USING THE SPLASH RPX-I	12

Changing the toolbar display

You can change the toolbar display by adding or removing buttons in Splash RPX-i

Preferences.

For more information about setting preferences, see the Configuration Guide and the

Color Guide.

TO CHANGE THE TOOLBAR DISPLAY

1Choose Preferences from the Splash Server menu.

2Click Button Bar.

3To add or remove buttons from the toolbar, drag them to or from the Loaded Buttons list.

4Click OK.

		USING THE SPLASH RPX-I	13

Start/Stop button

The Start/Stop button allows you to start and stop processing files.

These actions are global, and will start or stop all print jobs currently on the Splash RPX-i.

Client workstations can send print jobs to the Splash RPX-i while processing is stopped. Jobs sent via Print and Save or Print and Delete are spooled to the startup disk and appear in the Active queue. To control client printing, you can configure the Splash RPX-i to spool and hold all incoming print jobs, allowing the administrator to review jobs and determine job priorities.

If a print job is listed in the Active queue when server processing is halted, the Splash RPX-i stops all jobs at the first logical stopping point and leaves them in the Active queue, except for currently RIPping or printing jobs, which may return to the Hold queue. Job order is not affected by this option.

TO START AND STOP JOB PROCESSING

1To start or resume processing, click the Start/Stop button or choose Server>Start Processing.

The logo background to the right of the button changes from red to green.

2To stop processing all jobs currently on the Splash RPX-i, click Start/Stop, or choose Stop Processing from the Server menu.

The logo background to the right of the button changes from green to red.

		USING THE SPLASH RPX-I	14

Print queues

The print queues in the main window display the Active, Hold, or Error status of all spooled jobs.

•Active queue displays the currently processing print job and jobs awaiting automatic processing.

•Hold queue lists print jobs that the server has processed and jobs queued to Process and Hold or Process and Save.

•Error queue lists print jobs that failed to print, either partially or completely.

Preferences for job processing that determine whether a job is sent to the Active queue or the Hold queue are set in the Splash RPX-i Server Preferences and in the File Handling print options. For more information, see the Configuration Guide and the Printing Guide.

When you set up a Hot Folder, you specify settings for job processing on the Extras tab.

Job management of the print queues is described in the following procedures.

TO RESIZE A PRINT QUEUE

•To resize a print queue, click the tab that separates it from another queue and drag up or down.

NOTE: You cannot resize a queue to hide another queue.

TO SELECT JOBS IN A PRINT QUEUE

•To select a job in one of the print queues, click the job.

•To select multiple jobs consecutively, click one job, press Shift, and click multiple jobs in the queue.

•Press Command and click to select multiple non-consecutive jobs.

If a selected job has a preview image, it appears in the Preview window of the main window.

TO MOVE JOBS BETWEEN QUEUES

•To print a job in the Hold queue, drag the job to the Active queue.

•To move a job to the Hold queue, drag the file from the Active or Error queues. You can also select a job in the Active queue and choose Hold from the Jobs menu.

•To resume processing of a job in the Hold queue, drag the job to the Active queue, choose Remove Hold from the Jobs menu, or press Command+R while the job is selected.

		USING THE SPLASH RPX-I	15

TO REORDER JOBS IN THE ACTIVE QUEUE

•Reorder jobs in the Active queue by dragging them to a new position within the queue.

Moving jobs in the Active queue allows you to reschedule jobs for RIPping or printing without putting them on Hold.

Reordering jobs in the Active queue does not affect the current state of the job. Once a job begins printing or RIPping, it continues to do so until it finishes or is placed on Hold.

When the currently RIPping job finishes and moved to the Print Pending stage, the job in the Active queue that is Pending (highest in the queue) begins RIPping, and so on through all the jobs in the Active queue.

TO DELETE A JOB

•To delete a job from the Hold or Error queues, select the job and press Delete.

A dialog box prompts you to confirm this action. If image files are saved, you are asked to delete the entire job or just the saved image.

•To delete a job that is currently processing in the Active queue, select the job, drag it to the Hold queue, and then choose Delete Job from the Jobs menu. Or you can select the job and press the Delete key on the keyboard.

You can also delete jobs by dragging them to the Trash icon on your Mac OS desktop. Jobs in the Active queue cannot be dragged to the Trash.

NOTE: If you attempt to delete multiple jobs and some jobs have saved rasters while others do not, a dialog box prompts you to delete the job or the images, as described previously. If you choose to delete images, the raster files are deleted from those jobs with raster files and the other files remain unchanged.

TO ACCESS PRINT QUEUE JOB OPTIONS

1Select a job in any print queue and click the arrow button on the upper-right side of the queue.

You can also access the options from the Jobs menu.

2Click an option to choose it.

3To edit job settings, click Edit Jobs.

Default job settings

Default job settings allow you to set default print options for jobs that are not sent with a Splash PPD, or for jobs that are sent with specific job options set to printer’s default. The settings include all color correction and printing modes, as well as paper types. The Default Job Settings dialog box appears when you choose Edit Defaults from the Jobs menu.

NOTE: You must log on with Administrator privileges to modify the default job settings.

Editing default job settings

The following procedure explains how to edit default job settings.

TO CUSTOMIZE DEFAULT JOB SETTINGS

1Choose Edit Defaults from the Jobs menu.

The Default Job Settings dialog box appears.

2Click the Page, Tray, Output, Color, Quality, and Extras tabs, and specify the settings on each.

3Click OK to save your settings.

The Splash RPX-i applies the default job settings in the following situations:

•To graphics files (EPS, TIFF, TIFF/IT, CT/NLW, PSD, PDF, PDF-X1/a, ExportPS, and PDF2Go formats) or PostScript files that are placed in the Drop Folder or dragged to the Active or Hold queues.

•To graphics files received from a client on a TCP/IP network.

Default job settings for PostScript printing

The default job settings are set at the Splash RPX-i. For jobs that are not sent with a

Splash RPX-i PPD, default job settings are applied. Job defaults are applied to jobs from the following sources:

•Jobs from UNIX clients

•Mac OS jobs using non-Splash PPDs

•Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003 jobs using non-Splash PPDs

•Jobs from clients with print options specified as printer’s default

		USING THE SPLASH RPX-I	26

Managing raster files

Raster files can be saved using the File Handling job options: Process and Hold, Print and Hold, or Color Postflight and Hold. Jobs with saved raster files can be reprinted without reRIPping, depending on the Splash RPX-i server preferences and job options selected. For example, calibration does not require reRIPping. When a job is edited in such a way as to require reRIPping, you are warned that this causes the raster files associated with the job to be deleted. You must confirm or cancel the edits.

The following options require reRIPing:

•Page: Page Range, Duplex, Force Paper Size, Scaling, Rotate, Staple, and Imposition options (If Imposition: Step and Repeat is selected, changing the Number of Copies causes the file to reRIP.)

•Tray: Tray Selection, Paper Type Selection

•Color: All options

•Quality: All options

•Extras: Process and Hold, Color Postflight and Hold, Separations, Single Page Separations, Progressives, Invert Image, Auto Grayscale Detect, Print Control Strip, Save as TIFF, Mirror Image, and Print Info Strip

•Info: User name and Job Comment, if the Print Info option is enabled for the job

Editing the Splash RPX-i server preferences does not cause jobs to be reRIPped. Some jobs may require that you delete the raster file and reRIP the file in order to have preference changes take effect.

TO DELETE RASTER FILES

•Select the job and choose Delete Job from the Jobs menu, or click Delete.

If any of the files selected have raster files, a dialog box prompts you to cancel, delete the image file only, or delete the entire job. You can also delete raster files by dragging the spool file to the Trash icon on your Mac OS desktop. Both spool and raster files are deleted with no warning message.

		USING THE SPLASH RPX-I	27

RIP-While-Print

Automatic RIP-While-Print reduces print wait time by ensuring that the Splash RPX-i is never idle while jobs are present. RIP-While-Print tracks all print jobs, including jobs that are in transit to the Splash RPX-i, and directs Adobe CPSI (Configurable PostScript Interpreter) processing of jobs, where the currently processing job has the highest priority.

RIP-While-Receive

Automatic RIP-While-Receive reduces print wait time by ensuring that the Splash RPX-i is never idle while print jobs are present. RIP-While-Receive tracks all print jobs, including jobs that are in transit to the Splash RPX-i, and directs CPSI processing. The currently processing job has the highest priority and is completed first, regardless of whether another job has been spooled completely.

NOTE: In environments where very large jobs are printed, consider disabling RIP-While- Receive to allow small jobs to print before large jobs finish spooling. Use the server preference on the network pane to disable RIP-While-Receive.

If an error occurs, a job is moved to the Error queue when spooling finishes. You can restart the job when the error is corrected. It is not necessary to resend the job from the client.

RIP-Across-Jobs

The Splash RPX-i automatically begins RIPping a second job as soon as the first job finishes RIPping. It does not wait for the first job to finish printing.

Instant Reprint

Instant Reprint allows RIPped files to print repeatedly without RIPping the job for each repetition. Jobs with an “I” shown in the Print queue Info–Detailed field print without reRIPping.

NOTE: Instant Reprint is a Splash RPX-i server function and requires no action from the user. Changing some job settings might cause the job to reRIP. For a list of these settings, see page 26.

Print Consecutive Jobs

The Splash RPX-i starts printing the next available job immediately. The Splash RPX-i does not require the copier to cycle down before printing the next job. But if a job does not become available within 30 seconds, the Splash RPX-i cycles down the copier.

		USING THE SPLASH RPX-I	28

Checking job errors

The Splash RPX-i provides two ways of checking for job errors before printing: Preflight and Color PostFlight. You can find out if errors exist in a file by using Preflight. To identify the elements in the file that are causing the problem, use Color PostFlight.

Preflight

The Preflight feature allows you to examine jobs before they print for potential problems, and produces a viewable and printable text report. Potential problems include the following:

•PostScript errors

•Missing fonts and font substitutions

•Color mode of each item (RGB, CMYK, Spot) in the file

•Page size

•Spot colors not defined by the Splash Server

TO SCREEN A JOB FOR POTENTIAL ERRORS

1Select the job in the print queue and choose Preflight from the Jobs menu.

The job is moved to the Active queue for preflight processing, then moved back to the Hold queue when processing is complete.

2Choose Show Preflight from the Jobs menu.

The Preflight Results dialog box appears.

3Click Print to print a hardcopy report.

4Click OK to exit.

You can now use the Preflight report to identify and fix any errors.

		USING THE SPLASH RPX-I	29

Color PostFlight

The Color Postflight feature allows you to determine where any problems are. When you run a Color Postflight check, a color-coded printout of the file is produced.

TO RUN A POSTFLIGHT CHECK

•Select the job in the Print queue and choose Color Postflght from the Jobs menu.

•Select the job in the print queue and click the Color Postflight icon in the toolbar.

•With the job open, select Postflight and Hold on the File Handling tab of the printer driver.

The job is moved to the Active queue for preflight processing and printing, and then moved back to the Hold queue when processing and printing are complete. As the job is processing, a preview of the Postflight is displayed in the Preview window.

In the printed Postflight of the job, all CMYK data (text, graphics, and images) prints in cyan, all RGB data prints in Red, all Spot data prints in yellow, and all grayscale data prints in grayscale.

If you decide to convert one mode of color data to another, for instance, CMYK to Spot color, use the Color Tuner application. For more information about Color Tuner, see the

Color Guide.

		ADVANCED FEATURES OF THE SPLASH RPX-I	30

ADVANCED FEATURES OF THE SPLASH RPX-I

This chapter describes some of the advanced job management tools provided on the

Splash RPX-i. These features include the following:

•Tray Alignment

•Print Info/Control Strip

•Secure Access

•Screening Preferences

•Job Log Options

•Imposition

Tray Alignment

Tray Alignment allows you to set vertical and horizontal print offsets that result in the accurate alignment of print margins and crop marks, for either single-sided jobs or duplex jobs. The offsets are different for Side 1/simplex and Side 2. When you first open the Tray Alignment dialog box, Side 1 is automatically selected. Align side 1, and then align Side 2.

Tray Alignment supports the configuration of individual offsets for each tray. You can send duplex jobs in automatic duplex mode to any tray or manually send duplex jobs to Tray 5 for paper stocks that cannot automatically duplex.

NOTE: Align Side 1 to correct small offsets that occur during normal printing. If offsets for

Side 1 are greater than a few pixels, service the copier. Clipping can occur with large offsets.
