When you have a large print job and you want to check whether the job is printed correctly, it is advised to check the first set before printing all other sets. When a job is sent to the printer, the submitter can indicate in the job submission application that the first set must be checked. However, the workflow profile that is selected on the control panel determines how the printer handles these requests.
Depending on the selected workflow profile, the [Check first set] setting can have the following values:
[On]
[Off]
[As in job]
When you use the function [Check first set], the printed set is subtracted from the indicated total number of sets for a job. For example, when you need 10 sets, the printer will print the first set and then stop. When you continue the job, the nine remaining sets are printed. This is different from printing a proof.
You can use one of the following methods to indicate that you want to check the first set.
Use a workflow profile where [Check first set] is enabled. Then the printer stops after the first set.
Enable the function [Check first set] in the [Edit] window for a specific job only. However, you can only change the [Check first set] setting there when a workflow profile is selected where the [Check first set] setting is [As in job].
NOTE
You cannot change this setting for the active print job
.
The text changes from [Off] to [On]. A check mark indicates that the checking of the first set is enabled.
The [Number of sets] button has a check mark.
