FAQ<br />
Frequently Asked Questions<br />
1 What is a job ticket?<br />
34<br />
<strong>Digital</strong> <strong>StoreFront</strong> Training Manual<br />
A job ticket is an electronic version of a print requisition form. It provides you with all<br />
the print options available to you based on the type of printing category you select.<br />
2 Do I need to embed my fonts in MS Word or PowerPoint before I use the<br />
PrintMessenger driver?<br />
When submitting Microsoft Word and PowerPoint documents via PrintMessenger, the<br />
following steps may be necessary if you are using the Monotype Corsiva font in the<br />
original document. From MS Word or PowerPoint click “File”, “Print”, Select “Options”<br />
and then click the “Save” tab. Check “Embed TrueType Fonts”. Uncheck “Do not<br />
embed common system fonts.” Click “OK”.<br />
3 I don’t have administrator rights to install the PrintMessenger driver on<br />
my computer. Now what?<br />
Call the ITS help desk (x.5555) to request assistance.<br />
4 What is a press-ready PDF?<br />
It’s a PDF created using Adobe Acrobat Pro software and enables you to choose<br />
the settings you wish to save your PDF as, such as the quality of the PDF (i.e. High<br />
quality, Standard, Press quality) and allows you to embed the fonts.<br />
5 I don’t have Adobe Acrobat installed on my computer. Can I use the<br />
“save as PDF” command from MS Word or PowerPoint?<br />
No. MS Word does not give the option of changing the settings (such as choosing the<br />
quality of PDF (press quality) or embedding the fonts) therefore it does not create a<br />
proper PDF. Please use the EFI PrintMessenger driver.<br />
6 Which VPN do I use?<br />
