•"Output Parameter Set": Click the folder button beside this box to load an output parameter set from the resources.
Generally, this box has a default output parameter set (see the Default for the Output Parameter Sets).
Note: If you want your output to be centered, make sure that the imaging window is centered with regard to the plate template (see also Plate Template Editor ).
•"Edit": This opens the Output Parameter Set Editor. You can modify the output parameter set specifically for this job in this editor. The modified output parameter set is saved together with the job if your job was output successfully. It displays as the default for the next job you output (see Default for the Output Parameter Sets).
•"Press Sheet List": You can select single press sheets for output. Output of all the press sheets is set by default.
You can also print the following parts of the press sheet separately:
·Surface (Front and Back)
·Separations (see the "View" item for details about displaying separated documents and composite documents on the screen).
•"Layer List": You also have a layer list when working with layers. You can select single layers for output. Output of the first layer is set by default.
•"Tile List": You also have a tile list when working with tiling. You can select single tiles for output. Output of all the tiles is set by default.
•"Select All": All the tiles in the list are selected when you click this button.
•"Deselect All": All the tiles in the list are deselected when you click this button.
•"View": Click this button to view your job as a PDF file on the screen.
You must have set the correct paths to the Adobe applications in "File > Preferences > Paths > Select External Executables" (see the Reference manual).
In the print preview, you must make a difference between composite documents and separated documents:
·Composite documents: In this case, Prinect Signa Station displays the imposed PDF press sheet in color. The single separations of the composite press sheet cannot be shown because Prinect Signa Station cannot create separations.
·Separated documents: In this case, the single separations of the press sheet are shown along with any comments in the Adobe message line. This means that the print preview shows exactly the data that will be sent to the RIP for printing. A color composite display of the separated page is not shown in this view. You can see a composite display of the separated pages in the graphic window.
Note: In some cases (e.g. if not all the colors on a surface are to be output) an empty preview displays.
Remedy: In Acrobat Reader as of version 8, you must change the default in "Edit > Preferences > Page Display > Overprint Preview" from "Only for PDF/X Files" to "Always" or "Automatic".
•"Save...": Like with "Print", you can output your job with "Save...". The "Save" dialog provides you with more settings:
·"Save to": This box lets you set a different output folder to the one defined in the output parameter set. The input is not saved.
·"File Name": You can edit the name of the output file in this box.
•"Output": The current job is output to the output folder. You already defined the output folder in the output parameter set > "General" tab.
You will find the "Output" folder that is created automatically for the output folder in "Preferences > Paths > Output".
•The progress bar at the bottom of the dialog indicates the period of time Signa Station will be busy with output and therefore will be locked for further work steps. In some cases (e.g. JDF with report), this process can take some time while the Signa Station can be operable again in other cases although output continues in the background.
