Preflight Report
The preflight report is a job-related report that provides information
about the status (missing or found) of key job components prior to
printing and enables you to correct your files accordingly.
It is especially useful to run the preflight check before you print a complex
job with a large quantity of pages or copies. The preflight check detects the
missing job components and displays them all at once in the Preflight
Report dialog box. You can review the report and handle the missing
components and thus save printing time.
If you run a preflight check, and all key components are found, the job is
processed and printed according to the job flow you have selected. If the
test fails (missing key elements are detected), the job is returned to the
Storage window
with the preflight report available for inspection.
The preflight report always reflects the last preflight run, if more than one
preflight check is run on a job, the latest preflight report overrides the
previous. When a preflight report is produced, the date and time of the
preflight check are indicated in the Job History window.
To view the preflight report:
1. Right-click the job in the Storage window, and from the menu select
Preflight Report.
The Preflight Report dialog box appears. If you selected the
HiRes files
option in the Preflight Options area, the HiRes Report appears first.
Note: Since the Preflight Report dialog box lists all key job components (missing
and found), you can choose to use this report to view the existing (found) key job
components, for example the list of the existing fonts in a job, and their
corresponding paths.
