Viewing and Changing Job Information

You can view various information about jobs in TotalFlow Production Manager, including their status, properties, and log information.

Operators and administrators can change properties for the entire job or for selected pages.

In this section:

  1. Viewing Job Status
  2. Changing the Number of Copies for a Job
    You can change the number of copies for a job from the Properties for Job dialog, and also directly from the All Jobs pod.
  3. Viewing Job Properties
  4. Defaults and Overrides
  5. Editing Multiple Jobs
  6. Changing the Job Properties
  7. Editing Jobs in RICOH TotalFlow Prep
    In some cases, you can edit a job in TotalFlow Prep instead of in the Properties for Job dialog. The job must be in the TotalFlow Prep Waiting, in the Error state, or in the Stored state.
  8. Creating Special Instructions for a Job
    If a job requires the operator to do something special, the operator needs instructions. The job submitter can enter these instructions as the value of the Special instructions job property, or you can create special instructions after the job is queued to a printer. As an option, these instructions can be printed on a separator page just before the job is printed.
  9. Transforming Jobs to PDF
    You can print PostScript and PCL jobs on printer devices that support PDF by transforming them.
  10. Preflighting jobs
    Preflighting is the process of checking PDF jobs before printing to make sure that the files are complete and correct. Administrators can specify preflighting as part of a workflow. Operators and administrators can view preflight reports.
  11. Proofing Jobs
    Proofing is the process of printing a copy of the job, or of selected pages, in order to check that the job prints correctly before printing the whole job.
  12. Ordering finishing devices after printing
    If you want to apply finishing actions on printed jobs you can send job instructions to an external application previously installed.
  13. Modifying Jobs Using Workflow Properties
    The Job Workflow properties option provides several job configuration options, other than job ticket properties, that can be set directly from a customized workflow. These workflow options modify the job PDF output, but leave the job ticket unchanged.
  14. Editing Jobs with Advanced Imposition
    The Advanced Imposition settings let you create output files with complex layouts, barcodes, marks, and banner sheets. You can specify page scaling, page alignment, bleed, and image shift settings.
