Job workflow for document printing mode

1. Job preparation

   You can use PRISMAprepare, the remote printer driver, LPR, or hotfolders to submit jobs. The PDF documents can be created with specific graphical or office applications.

2. Workload planning

   PRISMAremote Manager / PRISMAsync Remote Manager Classic is used to monitor the connected print systems, paper trays, scheduled jobs, and upcoming actions to manage the workload across all connected print systems. With the PRISMAremote Monitoring app and PRISMAremote Manager / PRISMAsync Remote Manager Classic you monitor the print production of the PRISMAsync Print Server printers remotely.

3. Job planning

   Print jobs are visible on the control panel: in the list of waiting jobs, the list of scheduled jobs or in a DocBox folder. The job properties determine the destination of the job. Job properties can be changed when the job arrives at the destination.

4. Print production

   The printer prints the jobs according to the job sequence in the list of scheduled jobs. Job media are loaded in the paper trays, prints and waste are removed in time and there are sufficient supplies of consumables in the printer.
