Save As
The Save As command allows you to save an image into different file formats.
Once a job has been printed, you may want to save the RIPed file so that you
can reprint it without having to RIP the file again. Saving a file as Native format,
with a .PRT extension, allows you to save RIPed files for reprinting.
To Save a Job into a Different Format
1. Click on the job you would like to save into a different format.
2. From the File Menu select Save As.
3. From the Save as type drop-down box, select the file type you would like to
save the document as.
4. Click Save.
Send
Once jobs are in the Print Monitor, you can select individual jobs or groups of
jobs for printing. When selecting a group of jobs, they are printed in the order that
they appear in the queue.
To Send a Job to Print
1. Click on the job or jobs you would like to print.
2. From the File Menu select Send.
Pause
When printing a job, the software begins RIPing the file. RIP, which stands for
Raster Image Processor, is a process that converts the selected file into a series
of dots that are used to reproduce the file on the selected media. RIPing involves
a complex algorithmic process that requires a significant portion of your
computer’s processing capacity. Larger files, in terms of MB, take longer to RIP
than smaller files. The nature of the RIP process makes it impossible to pause
and restart. For this reason, the Pause button is dimmed to prevent you from
pausing a job during the RIP process. However, once a job is done RIPing and
has begun printing, you can use the Pause button to stop and restart the printing
process as often as desired.
To Pause a Print Job
1. Click on the job you would like to pause.
2. From the File Menu select Pause.
To resume a printing Job
§ Click on the paused print job. Click the Pause button again (Resume) to
resume the printing process.
