Editing Job Properties

With a RICOH TotalFlow Producer Advanced subscription, you can use the Job Properties Editor to specify various settings for PDF jobs, including layout, paper, finishing, color, print quality, and fifth station settings. You can also configure covers, slip sheets, and exception pages. Most of the changes are shown in real time so that you can preview the final output.
Note: Only users with a Job Manager role can edit jobs in the Job Properties Editor.
To edit job properties:
  1. In the Jobs or the Orders table, right-click a PDF job and select Job properties....
    You see the Job Properties Editor dialog.
  2. Open the printer menu at the top of the dialog and select the printer that you want to use to print the job.
    The list of printers includes all the printers configured for your account.

    When you select a printer, the settings available in the Job Properties Editor update to match the settings supported on the selected printer. Previously specified job settings that are no longer supported are marked with a red border.

    By default, a sample printer is also available. The sample printer enables all the job settings from the Job Properties Editor.
