When do I have to go to "Job Combiner"?
Normally the Job Combiner checks the PPF files from the prepress system. Only in the exceptions described below do you have to make changes in the Job Combiner.
When using a pure PPF workflow
•If the PPF file was stopped because one or more special colors are not defined.
•If you wish to recombine sheets/jobs manually to a new job.
To add a varnish separation, for example.
•If you wish to process a sheet again.
Note: If the PPF workflow was configured correctly and all special colors are saved in the color tables, you only have to go to this section to combine sheets/jobs manually.
•If you have to assign a PPF file manually to a job.
This is the case if, for example, the job number in the PPF file from the prepress system differs from the job number of the JDF file from the Management Information System.
•If you wish to generate a new job from an unassigned PPF file.
This should only be employed in special cases. Otherwise, if a job number happens to have been used that is later used by the Management Information System (for example Prinect Prinance), this can result in problems when the Management Information System transfers the new job.
•If the PPF file was stopped because one or more special colors are not defined.
•If you wish to recombine sheets manually.
To add a varnish separation, for example.
Note: If the JDF-PPF workflow was configured correctly and all special colors are saved in the color tables, you only have to go to this section to combine sheets/jobs manually.
