Chapter 8 – Setting Parameters

The 

Job Flow parameter enables you to specify a job flow for a job that is imported 

to the Spire CX260 from the network or from the Spire CX260 folders.

¾ Select one of the job flow options:

ˆ

Process & Print: to set the Spire CX260 to RIP the PDL files, print them, and 
store them in the 

Storage window (unless the Job Deletion parameter is set 

to 

Delete after Complete)

ˆ

Process & Store: to RIP the PDL files and move them to the Storage window 
as RTP jobs

ˆ

Spool & Store: places the PDL files directly into the Storage window without 
processing them.

 

¾ Select Run preflight check to check the status of key job components before the 

job is sent for printing.

Your job is RIPed and the missing components are identified. 

You can set the preflight to detect the following problems:

ˆ

High-resolution images

ˆ

Incorrect links to the high-resolution images folder

ˆ

Missing fonts

ˆ

Spot colors that are not defined in the Spire CX260 spot color dictionary

The results of the preflight check are displayed in a Preflight Report. To generate this 
report, right-click the RTP job in the Storage window and select 

Preflight Report. For 

more information on the Preflight Report, see Preflight Report on page 110.

To print a slug in the margins of your job, select the desired options:

•

Color bar to print a measurable color bar. Looking at this bar, you can tell the 
state of the printer and whether the quality is consistent. You might need to 
calibrate the printer or perform color proofing.

In the

 Comment box, type comments up to 30 characters.

Note:   This option can be defined only through the PPD parameters of the 
virtual printer.

Note:   If a job component is missing, the job fails before it is RIPed and an alert 
message appears. The job is transferred to the Storage window. Information 
about missing components will appear in the Job History window.

Note:  This feature is only available for the Pro Basic and Pro Control Station 
configurations.
