PreviewPrint
A step that is based on this step template sends a selection of pages from a job to
a printer to be printed. You can use the output to determine whether the job properties
are set correctly. If they are not set correctly, you can modify them before you print
the entire job.

Usage notes
- You can include more than one step based on this step template in a workflow.
- If you change the value of the Requested page range for preview print property after the job arrives in the PreviewPrint step, you must process the job through the PreviewPrint step again.
- If you add this step to a workflow that sends PDF jobs to a Ricoh PDF or Custom PDF
printer on an application server, you must change the values of the Header page configuration file and Trailer page configuration file properties. Those properties must specify the drive letter of the application server
that the printer is running on and the file path to the header and trailer configuration
files. For example, the application server uses
Z:to connect to the/aiwdirectory on the primary computer, and the file paths to the configuration files on the primary computer are/aiw/aiw1/control_files/banner_pages/header.jrxmland/aiw/aiw1/control_files/banner_pages/trailer.jrxml. Change the values toZ:\aiw1\control_files\banner_pages\header.jrxmlandZ:\aiw1\control_files\banner_pages\trailer.jrxml. - The default values for the Header page configuration file and Trailer page configuration file properties change in the step template when you install the AFP Support feature. If you add this step to a workflow that sends jobs to a Ricoh PDF or Custom PDF printer on an application server after you install the AFP Support feature, you must change the values of the Header page configuration file and Trailer page configuration file properties. Those properties must point to JRXML files to generate banner pages. The values are not updated in steps that were added to workflows before the AFP Support feature was installed.
