Print Job Submission
Information to Know Before Printing a Job
Basic Job Workflow
The basic workflow for setting up a job and submitting it from the print server is:
1. Within the PredictPrint Media Manager on the print server, set up and define the stock properties for the paper you will use and assign that paper to the feeder tray.
2. At the press, load the appropriate paper to be used for the job that matches the tray property settings.
3. At the print server main window, customize your job such as inserting special pages and tabs and create your print queue that defines the attributes of those jobs sent to the queue.
4. Submit the job file from the print server to the networked press for printing.
One of the following print servers can be used with your press:
• Xerox® EX 4100 Print Server, Powered by Fiery®
• Xerox® EX-P 4100 Print Server, Powered by Fiery®
PredictPrint Media Manager
Begin your job workflow at the PredictPrint Media Manager. The PredictPrint Media Manager is a separate application residing on the print server desktop only and not at the press. At the PredictPrint Media Manager main window, set up and manage the stock types, profiles associated with a stock, the Stock Library, and the feeder tray attributes to use when printing a job.
Note:For complete information on the PredictPrint Media Manager and on how to set up your stock and paper tray settings for the print job, refer to
PredictPrint Media Manager.
Enable Paper Tray Features
At the press, the System Administrator can enable the Auto Tray Switching feature and prioritize the trays to switch over to using when one tray with the same paper becomes empty.
Define Jobs and Queues
Refer to the Print Server documentation to learn about programming various types of jobs including tab jobs and assembling different stock types from different trays for the same job.
