Parameters of the Inspectors in Signa Station
The inspectors are important control elements for editing a job in Signa Station. The changes you make in the inspectors always affect all the parts in the job.
You can find some parameters at several different places, for example, data about the folding sheet/folding scheme or press sheet/plate:
•In the relevant inspectors, e.g. Folding Sheet Inspector, Press Sheet Inspector
•In the workflow bar, for example, in the "Schemes" and "Plates" steps
You can create a new job only using the workflow bar. You then use the inspectors to check and correct your data or make additional specific settings.
Naturally, you can also create just one part of the job and generate certain parameters later with the Folding Scheme Editor and add them to the job, for example, a new folding scheme.
In addition, you can also turn an existing job into a new one with the inspectors. As you can see, you use them as it suits you.
