Switching to External or Internal Preflight

After installing TotalFlow BatchBuilder, you can switch between the preflight internal to TotalFlow BatchBuilder and an external preflight software.
Before switching to external or internal preflight, make sure that you save the current configuration details from the Admin ⇒ Preflight tab, for future reference.
To switch to internal preflight software or external preflight software:
  1. Go to Program Files ⇒ RICOH ⇒ TotalFlow BatchBuilder ⇒ bin.
  2. Run the switch-preflight.bat script file as an administrator.
    A warning message appears.
  3. If you are using the external preflight, type Yes after the following message:
    • Currently, the preflight feature is using EXTERNAL preflight software. Do you want to switch to the INTERNAL preflight software (yes/no)?
  4. If you are using the internal preflight, type Yes after the following message:
    • Currently, the preflight feature is using INTERNAL preflight software. Do you want to switch to the EXTERNAL preflight software (yes/no)?
    Note:
  • The Admin ⇒ Preflight tab displays the appropriate settings based on the current configuration.
  • If you switch the preflight configuration, the preflight feature becomes disabled. You must re-enable the feature after the switch.
  • During the preflight configuration switch, TotalFlow BatchBuilder is restarted.
