Print Server Manual 43 A741
11 Frequently Asked Questions: Image Viewing/Handling
11.1 Can we preview the document before plotting/printing?
Yes, the A741 Repro System program provides a 'thumbnail' -small preview- of
the document. For a more detailed view, the Imaging viewer can be activated
with a touch of a button. The Imaging viewer from Wang laboratories is a
standard utility of Windows NT, providing advanced image viewing options.
11.2 Can we modify the image before it will be printed?
Yes, either by using the application which was used to create the document or by
making changes to the TIFF file generated by the A741 Repro System program
(result of the RIP process). Changes made by using the original application can
be saved permanently. Changes to the internal TIFF file will remain available
until the source file is replaced or RIPped again. (see also 8.5, 8.9, 8.10, 13.3)
11.3 Which image handling options does A741 Repro have?
The A741 Repro software will allow some basic image handling/editing. These
functions are mainly designed to provide some cleanup of the image after
scanning or to make some final modifications to the raster file before it is being
printed.
The amount of De- Skew or De-Speckle cannot be controlled. A741 Repro is
using default settings for these options.
The table below will show which image handling options are available at which
level.
