Error avoidance

Introduction

At print time, PRISMAdirect informs you about requests impossible to produce on the selected printer. This information is a warning. The warnings are displayed in the notification area just below the job information.

Error avoidance is not available on all the supported printer models. You will be notified about this in the notification area when you select that printer.

How does it work

The prerequisite to get correct error avoidance warnings is an up-to-date printer configuration (i.e. which finishers are available at the printer).

During the preparation and printing of a document you choose the most appropriate resources to obtain the requested result. Resources may be media, printers and finishers. Due to the multiplicity and complexity of the possible combinations of resources your choice may be not optimal or even impossible.

Also, a document may be prepared optimally for printer A and because this printer is not available it can be printed on printer B. Printer A and B may have different capabilities and limits that will impact the produced document.

At print time, PRISMAdirect informs you about requests impossible to produce on the selected printer. This information is a warning. The document can still be printed on the target printer. The exception is when the requested media is not supported; in this case the print job is blocked.

The error avoidance operation takes only the features of a printer into account that are supported by PRISMAdirect. The media mapping is taken into account for all new VarioPrint, imagePRESS and imageRUNNER printers.

The print settings requested via the printer driver are not covered by the error avoidance checks. Offline finishing is ignored during the error avoidance checks.
