●OPI: detects whether OPI is used. If so, the PDF analyzer detects the OPI version and determines whether any high- resolution images in the OPI path are missing

●Text and line art: identifies the size of text, the width of the lines, white text, and objects and flatness tolerance

●PDF/X: determines whether the file conforms to PDF/X-1a and whether the file contains PostScript fragments

Preflight Check

The Run preflight parameter enables you to check the status of key job components before the job is sent for printing.

During the preflight check, your job is RIPed and the missing components are identified. The preflight check detects the status of the following key job components:

●High-resolution images or the wrong links to the high-resolution images folder

●Missing fonts

●Spot colors that are not defined in the CX print server spot color dictionary

●Dynamic exception commands for a file that was submitted via a dynamic page exceptions virtual printer

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 in the Preflight Report dialog box. You can review the report and resolve the missing components and thus save processing time without error or failed messages constantly appearing.

If you run a preflight check and all key components are found, the job is processed and printed according to the job flow that you 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.
