Final steps for a job
Final steps in every job include saving the job and its template file and
printing the output.
When you save a job, it is saved with a .job file name extension, and it
can be opened, previewed, and edited in Preps Ganging, Preps Plus,
or Preps Pro. The job's template file, which contains its layout
information, is stored in a file with the same name as the job, with a
.tpl file name extension. You can also save a copy of the template
under a different name, for reuse in other jobs.
Depending on how you build the press sheet layouts in a job, the job
template that is automatically saved in the Templates folder can be
based on any number of templates. It contains or points to one
signature per press sheet layout.
You can print selected press sheets or sides or the entire job to the
connected printer or to an output file type (PDF, PostScript, JDF,
PJTF, or PPF). When you print a job, Preps Ganging checks that you
have specified a stock and media for each press sheet in the output.
Printing the output
Update note: Preps Ganging 5.3.2 adds the ability to configure
devices (media sizes) and to set a full range of preference and print
options, without using the Preps Plus or Pro software. For detailed
information about setting those options, see the Preps Help.
The following procedure applies to the Preps Ganging 5.3.1 Print
dialog box.
1. From the File menu, choose Print.
2. In the Send to list, select the output type: Printer, PDF, PS
(PostScript), JDF, PJTF, or PPF.
3. In the Press Sheet options area, specify the sheets that you want
to print: All, Current sheet, or Sheet Range.
4. In the Sides list, choose whether to print the fronts or backs of the
specified sheets, or both. The default is both Front and Back.
5. Click Print.
6. In the Select output location dialog box, specify a file name and
choose a location for the output.
7. Click OK.
