Edit first

Specifies whether RICOH ProcessDirector is to edit a job before creating white space. Select Yes if you used the AFP Editor to create barcodes or hidden areas in the control file because placement of white space areas in the control file can depend on the location of barcodes and hidden areas.

Values:

Yes (default)
RICOH ProcessDirector edits a job before it makes other enhancements to it.
No
RICOH ProcessDirector does not edit a job.
Database name
Job.EditFirst

Usage notes:

  • This property applies only if the AFP Editor feature is installed. If you select Yes and the AFP Editor is not installed, RICOH ProcessDirector does not edit the job.
  • For better performance, select Yes to edit jobs in this step, and do not include a separate step based on the EditAFP step template in this workflow.
