3.4 [Warning/Detection]

Image Warning
Image Warning is the function to display and print warning target objects when a file contains
objects specified as the warning target.
You can check such objects in the image by printing them in the specified color, or by extracting
and printing only these objects, or deleting them from the image.

RGB Warning
The RGB Warning function is used to detect RGB or CIE images during printing in order to avoid
errors.
RGB images may be output in color K during color separations output printing. Therefore, al-
though the color images are printed from a composite printer, they may appear in black and
white during color separations output in offset pressing.
RGB and CIE images containing errors that occurred during printing is printed in a warning color.
RGB images included in RGB photos and objects are printed in magenta, and CIE images in cyan.

RGB CIE

Normal print With Warning settings

Note

• When [Color] > [2 Color Print Simulation] is available during composite output, the RGB Warning will be avail-
able regardless of the 2 Color Print Simulation settings.
When performing color separations output from applications, the print quality will be the same as when color
separations output is performed in the imagesetter because the RGB and CIE images are converted into color
K by the applications.
• When [Color] > [Color Mode] is [Grayscale], the RGB Warning will be unavailable.
• The RGB Warning function is available for jobs printed in composite colors. When performing color separations
output from applications, the print quality will be the same as when color separations output is performed in
the imagesetter because the RGB and CIE images are converted into color K by the applications.
• When RGB Warning is enabled, the setting of [Color] > [RGBS] > [RGB] > [RGB Simulation] is disabled.
• A CIE image is an image whose colors are represented in the CIE Color Space. For example, if you enable the
PostScript Color Management function in Photoshop, RGB images are automatically converted into CIE imag-
es, and CMYK images into CIE images with color profiles embedded.
• The following applications are registered so that RGB Warning is enabled:
‐ Illustrator, InDesign, PageMaker, and QuarkXPress

 Spot Color Warning
Spot color can be printed in the warning color. You can detect problems if you reused data with
the spot color by accident. Separations other than CMYK can be prevented in offset pressing.

Warning Color

‐ When [Image Quality] > [Advanced] > [Combine Color Separations] in the composite output job is set to
[Composite Separation].
• White object (C=0, M=0, Y=0, K=0) is out of subject of the Spot Color Warning.
• Spot color objects whose tint value is 0% are not the target of the spot color warning.

Note

• This item is not available for APPE job.

• This function only applies to strokes. It does not apply to photos and graphics. For example, this is unavailable
for filled square objects (not strokes).
• When you check [Color] > [2 Color Print Simulation]:
‐ In composite output, the Hairline Warning function is available regardless of the 2 Color Print Simulation
settings.
‐ In the color separation output, the Hairline Warning function is available only the color separations with warn-
ing colors are set in 2 Color Print Simulation.
• Hairline Warning deletion when Background exists: If there are other color objects in the background of the
warning object, this function deletes the hairline object without knocking out the background (The line object
depicted in white in background). This is to simulate the phenomenon which is not reproduced the knock-out
line for the background.
• This function is available in both Composite Mode and Combine Color Separations Mode.

Overprint Warning
Objects with overprint or trapping applied that are difficult to distinguish on the monitor or
during normal printing will be extracted or printed in the warning color.

Click [Color] > [Spot Color].

„ [Spot Color Correction]

Checking this box will print data with color of the spot color registered with the server. For
each spot color, you can make an adjustment so that color closer to the spot color ink or your
favorite color is reproduced.
If you use a spot color not registered with the server, an Unregistered Spot Color Error oc-
curs.
If this item is unchecked, the alternate colors contained in the PDL data are used to print.

Note

• Deselecting the checkmark on [Fail if Unregistered Spot Color is Set for Jobs] under [System Settings] > [Job
Settings] > [Server] saves from errors occurring.
• To color-correct spot colors in the combine separations mode, select [Image Quality] > [Advanced] > [Com-
bine Color Separations] > [Auto] then put a checkmark to [Spot Color Correction]. The same color correction
as spot color correction is performed in addition to combine separations of spot color plates.
• For printing from QuarkXPress in the composite mode, EPS files of double tone from Photoshop will be output
in the CIE colors, and therefore the spot color correction will be ineffective. On the other hand, for printing
from QuarkXPress in the color separations mode, files will be output on a spot color plate and the color sepa-
rations will be combined, and therefore the spot color correction will be effective.
• Any new spot colors used on page 100 and the subsequent pages in a PostScript file or on page 5,000 and the
subsequent pages in a PDF file, may be printed in alternate colors with no spot color correction applied.
• Even if the name of spot color used in a job is different with the name of spot color registered in the list by de-
fault, they are decided as the same color automatically. (Note that the spot color created and registered newly
is decided as the different spot color.)
‐ Example 1:When a spot color named "DIC 1s" is included in a job, "DIC 1" in the spot color list is used.
‐ Example 2: When a spot color named "TOYO 0005" is included in a job, "TOYO 0005*" in the sport color list is
used.
• When an area in a dark spot color is overlaid by other objects by means of a transparent effect or an overprint
option, the overlaid area may appear blackish.
• Spot color profiles provided by default on Print Server are assumed to be used to ensure color matching in op-
eration with standard calibration and advanced calibration. If you want to perform G7 calibration and then use
the results to make color correction of spot color, you must create a new destination profile for G7 calibration.

Check the box to replace the RGB gray with pure K gray to print. The CMYK-gray created in
the RGB mode is replaced with pure black toner (C=M=Y=0%, K=*%) so that the obscure
CMYK-gray turns to clearer pure K gray.

Note

• When you print a file with this item on and with [Color] > [RGB] > [RGB Simulation] selected in the Job Set-
tings, it results in the following:
‐ RGB Grayscale file is printed in black and white.
‐ RGB Grayscale file with color correction profile (such as ICC Profile) may be printed in color mode.
• Check the box to replace the RGB gray with pure K gray to print for data of applications (such as Word) where
the color definition is set to RGB.
However, if you uncheck [Apply to Image and Shading], to the RGB gray of the image object (including ruled
lines), the replacement is invalid, and therefore the paper will be printed in color.
• CMYK Color Correction also applies to objects in K that was substituted for RGB gray, except for Raster and
Shading.

ƒ [Apply to Image and Shading]

Check the box to replace raster and shading.
Types and colors of objects to be replaced are as follows.
Status Pure K objects Colors to be replaced

Checked Characters, lines, fills, RGB images, R=G=B for both black and gray (black:
shading pattern* 100%), and surrounding colors

* A shading pattern is a type of an object of PostScript or PDF. It is created when, for example, you specify
gradation in aDTP application. It is created when, for example, you specify gradation in a DTP applica-
tion.

„ [RGB Black to K (Text/Graphics)]

Check the box to replace the RGB black with K100% black to print. The CMYK-black created
in the RGB mode is replaced with pure black toner (C=M=Y=0%, K=100%) so that the ob-
scure CMYK-black turns to clearer K100% black.

Combine Color Separations

[Combine Color Separations] combines the color plates output separately from the application.
Because the color separation function provided by imposition applications such as PageMaker,
Illustrator, FreeHand, QuarkXPress, and InDesign is specially designed for film output from an
imagesetter. Each of the color pages is output in grayscale by separating into the same sheets as
the colors (normally 4 sheets). If you output this page by the printer without the Combine Color
Separation function, the same number of sheets of the colors used in the document page is out-
put in grayscale.
Using the Combine Color Separation function, you can combine these separated grayscale pages
into one color page before printing or for printing. The color calibration created by this function
can substitute for the color calibration created by film output. You can also check the Trapping
results because the object specified for Overprint can be reproduced in the output.
With this function, you can also make the data created in composite output format separate into
each color plate.

Any inserts set in [Paper] > [Pages to Apply Special Settings] are not included in the page count.

y [PDL Specified]
This option is effective for PPML jobs, as well as Form Print (i.e., [Layout] > [Form] > [Use
Form] is checked) jobs. When you select this option for other jobs, they will be moved to the
Error List as an error.
For a PPML job, each set will be delivered by automatically retrieving the length per record
from PPML data.
For a Form Print job, each set will be delivered by dividing the stream based on the number
of pages of form that is set in [Layout] > [Form].
When the record divide information cannot be retrieved from the PPML, the job results in an
error.

Note

You can select this option when [None] is selected in [Layout] > [Imposition Settings].

ƒ [Number of Pages]
When [Number of Pages] is selected, enter the number of pages per record.

ƒ [Record to Print]
Checking the box allows you to specify the range of records to be printed.

Note

This option cannot be set for a job for which [Settings] > [Document Page Range] is set to other than [All Pag-
es], or for which [Paper] > [Output Page Range] is set to other than [All Pages].

ƒ [Record No.]
Enter the records number.
Use commas to separate each record and hyphens for consecutive records. For example,
[-5] means "From Record 1 to 5", and [5-] means "From Record 5 and after".

„ [Print Sample]
Select how samples are to be printed.
To check if the job will print as expected, you can perform a sample print before initiating the
print run.
y [None]
A sample print is not generated.
y [By Copies]
A sample is printed at an interval of the number of copies entered in [Print Interval (Copies)].

User Guide - Job Properties 83

 y [By Sheets]
Samples corresponding to the number of sheets entered in [Number of Sheets] are printed
at an interval of the number of sheets entered in [Print Interval (Sheets)].

„ [Prevent Paper Sticking and Uneven Gloss (Blocking Solution)]

Configure the setting for processing to prevent paper blocking (paper sticking to each other).
y [Printer Default]
The setting in [Ink Setoff Prevention] on the printer control panel is used for processing.
y [Off]
The blocking measure processing is not performed.
y [Required Paper Type Only]
Slowing down the printing speed prevents blocking only for coated paper, films, and other
types of papers that tend to cause blocking.
y [All Paper Types]
Regardless of the setting of paper type, slowing down the printing speed of all types of pa-
pers prevents blocking.

ƒ [Paper Sticking and Uneven Gloss Prevention Level]

When [Required Paper Type Only] or [All Paper Types] is selected, set the level of slowing
down the printing speed. Setting the level to [Strong] makes the blocking prevention effect
stronger in processing, however, the printing speed is significantly decreased.

9.1 [Stapling/Hole Punch/Folding]

Note

Items that you can set depend on what optional units are equipped.

Click [Output] > [Stapling/Hole Punch/Folding].

„ [Stapling]
Select the stapling positions.

Note

• Some stapling positions are not available depending on the type of Finisher.
• If selecting an item other than [Saddle Stitch (Image Inside)] or [Saddle Stitch (Image Outside)], you cannot
set [Output] > [Output Method].
• In [Saddle Stitch (Image Inside)] or [Saddle Stitch (Image Outside)], the page order is changed automatically
depending on the type of the finisher installed and the front and back of the left and right ejection sides of the
last page.
If you do not change the page order, select [Saddle Stitch].

84 [Output]
 • If [Saddle Stitch] is selected in [Bind Method] of the imposition settings, the settings specified in [Imposition
Settings] is prioritized, and the reading order specified in [Saddle Stitch (Image Inside)] or [Saddle Stitch (Im-
age Outside)] is ignored.
• The output data is not stapled by every record unit even in the job set to other than [Disable] in [Output] >
[Divide by Records].
• In 2-sided printing, the position of front and back sides is swapped when Side 1 is ejected. This swap can often
cause issues of unexpected stapling positions, so make sure you check the output preview while specifying
staple position; you need to select a reverse position between top and bottom, and left and right, for example,
a position on the "right" side if you want to staple on the "left" side of the prints.

„ [Hole Punch]
Select where to punch holes.

„ [Folding]
Select the type of fold.

Note

• Some stapling positions are not available depending on the type of Finisher.
• If selecting an item other than [Disable] or [Single Fold], you cannot set [Output] > [Output Method].
• When you select an item other than [Single Fold], the page order will be changed automatically depending on
the type of the installed finisher, the position of the last page (right or left), or the inversion setting.
When you do not want to change the page order, select [Single Fold].
• If [Saddle Stitch] is selected in [Bind Method] of the imposition settings, the settings specified in [Imposition
Settings] is prioritized, and the reading order specified in [Saddle Stitch (Image Inside)] or [Single Fold (Image
Outside)] is ignored.
• If [Single Fold] is selected, the output data is not divided by records but folded in single even in the job set to
other than [Disable] in [Output] > [Divide by Records].

Note

• Measure the position of the crease while the printed sample is in an unfolded condition.
• Measure at the center position of the uneven part of the crease.

(2) From the measured figure, calculate the value to be entered, and enter the value in [Distance
from Paper Edge].
The value to be entered is "Initial value - (target right value - measured right value) + corrected value
of the side on the right". (Enter the value from the crease on the right side)
Example: a: 89.5mm, b: 90mm, c: 89mm
‐ 3: Initial value "207" - (target right value c "90" - measured right value c "89") = 207 - 1 = 206.00
‐ 2: Initial value "117" - (target right value b "90" - measured right value b "90") + corrected value
of the side on the right 3 "-1" = 117 - 1 = 116.00
‐ 1: Initial value "27" - "target right value a "90" - measured right value a "89.5" + corrected value of
the side on the right 2 "-1" = 27 - 1.5 = 25.50

Note

• When adjusting the crease position of a booklet that is selectable from [Crease Type], go to Printer User Inter-
face and select [Profiles] > [Fold Adjustment].
In [Fold Adjustment], you can automatically calculate the adjustment value of the crease misalignment, and
align the crease correctly.
• Even if you enter a value to match the length of each side in [Distance from Paper Edge], the crease may still
be misaligned. (Even if you match the length of each side and print, the length of each side of the output paper
is different due to the adjustment value of the crease misalignment.)
• In [Crease Type], when you select [4-Fold Accordion Fold] or [5-Fold Accordion Fold], the value displayed in
[Distance from Paper Edge] is not evenly assigned. (The displayed values indicate the positions where the
paper leading and trail edges come to approximately 2 mm inside of crease.)

 10 Notes and Restrictions
Note

For notes and restrictions specific to the driver, see "readme" or the "install_update" text supplied with the
driver.

Printer Driver
• When printing from the Mac client or later using the following applications with the output
paper size set to [Custom], the print results may be reduced or enlarged so that they fit to the
paper size even when the reduce/enlarge setting is not selected.
‐ Illustrator CS5 or later
‐ InDesign CS5 or later
‐ Acrobat X or later
‐ Adobe Reader X or later
To avoid the phenomenon, print in one of the following ways.
‐ Do not select the custom size, or set up the size in [Paper] > [Output Paper Size] > [Custom
Size] in Job Properties after sending the PDF file to Print Server.
‐ Adobe Reader/Acrobat, open the [Print] dialog box > [Advanced Print Setup] and check
[Print as image]. (The print image quality differs from the one with [Print as image] un-
checked.)
‐ Open the PDF in the preview mode by using a PDF viewing application installed in macOS
and then print it with custom size specified. (The print image quality differs from those from
Adobe Reader/Acrobat.)
• Print image orientation of a job sent from the printer driver is occasionally different from that
you specify. This is because the printer description described later (ViewingOrientation) be-
comes effective regardless of the specified orientation.
If this occurs when you are sending jobs from Adobe Reader/Acrobat, unchecking [Choose
paper source by PDF page size] in the [Print] dialog box (i.e. does not specify ViewingOrienta-
tion) may resolve the problem.
• Imposition jobs whose [Bind Method] is [Catalog Printing] may not be properly printed. To
solve this issue, convert the job into a PDF file, import it directly into Print Server, and then
print it on Print Server.
• As for the settings in [Paper] > [Pages to Apply Special Settings], some of the job properties
from the printer driver for Windows can be specified.
‐ Up to five combinations of "Front Cover/Back Cover/Inserts/Pages to Add Exceptions/Re-
peat" can be specified.
‐ The maximum number of characters allowed for [Add Exceptions] > [Page Range] > [Specif-
ic Pages] is 40. Any excess text may be ignored.
• The [2 Sided] setting in job properties for Print Station may not be able to function in conjunc-
tion with job properties in a printer driver for macOS, so you must set it in job properties for
Print Station.

PDF Printer Driver

Notes on Paper
• As for the settings in [Paper] > [Pages to Apply Special Settings], some of the job properties
from the PDF printer driver for Windows can be specified.
‐ Up to five combinations of "Front Cover/Back Cover/Inserts/Pages to Add Exceptions/Re-
peat" can be specified.
‐ The maximum number of characters allowed for [Add Exceptions] > [Page Range] > [Specif-
ic Pages] is 40. Any excess text may be ignored.

94 Notes and Restrictions

Restrictions unique to each application
ƒ Photoshop
When you print documents with the changed printer driver setting from the initial setting,
the same setting is kept when you open the same file next time even if you did not save the
previous setting. In this case, click [Defaults] on the printer driver.

Others
• If you print from an application that does not support pass-through method, the color space
will be RGB regardless of the job property settings. The overprint settings will also be disabled.
• Secure PDF files may not be able to be printed with pass-through.
• Printing a list (Print) cannot be performed (Logical Printer, System Settings, Resources, Job
Properties).

RIP

Common Restrictions
• If many spot colors are used in a job, it may take a long time to print data.
(The number of spot colors that can be processed is up to 100, which is the total number of
the spot colors contained in the original and those set for the job.)
• Some applications may not be able to auto-determine head and toe of files or may rotate page
images 90 degrees, and therefore stapling or punching may not be done on the intended posi-
tion. In this case, check the output page preview on the Print Station (Output Direction is indi-
cated by an arrow).
• Printing area of PDF file is the inner area of the CropBox specified by PDF. When CropBox is
not specified, it becomes the inner side area of MediaBox. However, when [Layout] > [Use
Document TrimBox] is checked in Job Properties, the inner area in TrimBOX is used.
• When you manage colors on Host with ICC profile, uncheck [Color] > [CMYK] > [CMYK Simu-
lation] (or [RGB] > [RGB Simulation]), and check [Color] > [CMYK] > [Use Embedded Profile]
(or [RGB] > [Use Embedded Profile]) in Job Properties.
• Jobs created using different form in each page may be an error because the work space is not
enough while printing.
• When printing with TrueType font that is not supported the font embed to PDF file is done, the
character specifying this font may not 5be printed correctly. For the information whether the
using font supports PDF or not, contact font vendor.
• When an object to which spot colors are applied in a PDF is deleted in an Acrobat operation,
[Unregistered Spot Color Error] may appear if the spot color information remains. However,
unregistered spot colors cannot be registered because detecting spot colors is not available in
the PS preflight.
To solve this issue, register the spot colors in [Color] > [Spot Color] in the Main Menu, or un-
check [Fail if Unregistered Spot Color is Set for Jobs] in the [Settings] icon > [System Settings]
> [Job Settings] > [Server] in the link menu.
• When you register a spot color in [Register Unregistered Spot Colors] under [View PS Preflight
Report], a different color from that you specified in the application is occasionally registered.
In this case, register the target spot color using [Color] > [Spot Color] in the Main Menu.
• When the orientation of paper set in the selected paper tray differs from that of RIP docu-
ments at the time of printing, the document orientation is automatically rotated according to
the paper.
However, when the following RIP jobs are printed, they cannot be rotated and an error occurs.
‐ When [Layout] > [Page Settings for Imposed Page], [Page Number], [Form], [Watermark],
and [Job Slug / Color Strip] are selected in Job Properties.
‐ When an imposition template on which [Marks and Slugs] tab > [Collating/Signature Mark
Settings] > [Signature Mark] and [Additional Information Settings] are selected.
• PS/PDF data that does not meet the language specification may not be able to be processed
successfully even if it can be displayed in the viewer.

User Guide - Job Properties 95

 • When you check the [Enable XObject Cache] box, depending on the PDF structure, unexpect-
ed drawing results may occur or a job may fail with an error. In such a case, uncheck the box,
and submit the job again.

CPSI Job
• Processing of the transparent effects on image uses quite a lot of work space. Therefore, a de-
compose error may occur due to lack of work space. When a decompose error occurs, reduce
the transparent area or separate or unify the transparent with the optimization.
• Color difference may occur on the printed sheet when you print a file with transparent object
specified or with an embedded profile.
• When an object with the Transparency Setting cannot be printed properly, save it as a PDF file,
and print the file with the APPE job.
• When [Image Quality] > [Advanced] > [Trapping] is [Use Template] and use a trapping settings
file by clicking [Select] in the job properties, and if the setting of the selected trapping settings
file is set as [Trap Images To Images] in the [Trap Settings] tab, data may not be printed prop-
erly.
• Green, "blue", "red", and "registration color" are not recognized as spot colors. Therefore, they
are not detected as spot colors at the time of Preflight processing.
• The PostScript Data refers directly to a file may have an error when referring file and not en-
able to print property.
• If you check [Color] > [CMYK] > [Use Embedded Profile] (or [RGB] > [Use Embedded Profile]),
specifying [CMYK Rendering Intent] and [Use Embedded Rendering Intent] (or [RGB] > [RGB
Rendering Intent] and [Use Embedded Rendering Intent]) is not reflected for the CMYK (or
RGB) embedded profile.
• When Roman is specified in the PDF, checking [Fail Jobs if No Font Exists] (in the link menu,
the [Settings] icon > [System Settings] > [Job] > [Printer]) will not fail jobs and printing may
be carried out using an alternative font.
• When you check [Settings] > [Warning/Detection] > [RGB Warning] in Job Properties, and if
you check [Color] > [CMYK] > [Use Embedded Profile], CIE image warning is not applied to
CMYK objects whose profile is embedded in PDF.
• If any unregistered spot color included in your original has an overprint setting specified, or if
you uncheck [Spot Color] > [Spot Color Correction] in Job Properties, overprint may not be re-
produced even if [Image Quality] > [Composite Overprint] is checked in Job Properties.

APPE Job
• When a PDF file is set to the custom paper size, the print result may be output in an image ori-
entation different from the CPSI job.
• When [Image Quality] > [Composite Overprint] in the Job Properties is checked, [Always
Knock out white object] is only applied to the white object when Color Space is DeviceCMYK.
• When you check [Image Quality] > [RGB Black to K (Text/Graphics)] or [RGB Gray to K (Text/
Graphics)], and replace RGB object specified to overprint with K, the object is overprinted.
• When the object that has all CMYK colors are specified to overprint, the overprint warning may
not work correctly.
• Color correction with [Color] > [CMYK] > [CMYK Simulation] in Job Properties is not applied
to the spot colors not registered in Print Server even if the alternative color space specified in
PDF is CMYK or Gray.
• If multiple spot color names making up the DeviceN color space contained in the original are
specified as the source of replacement with the identical specialty toner plate, the job results
in an error. To avoid the phenomenon, you must register the registered specialty toner as
CMYK=0/0/0/0, Color=100.

ƒ PDF job using transparency effects

• Processing of the transparent effects on image uses quite a lot of work space. Therefore,
a decompose error may occur due to lack of work space. When a decompose error oc-
curs, reduce the transparent area or separate or unify the transparent with the optimiza-
tion.

96 Notes and Restrictions

Restrictions applied when you uncheck [Color] > [CMYK] > [Prioritize Over-
print Image Quality] in Job Properties
• RIP processing may take time.
• Among process color objects for which overprint is specified, for objects where one or more
CMYK plates are missing, color may be reproduced differently. Also, "OPM (OverPrint Mode) =
1" overprint may not be reproduced.
• With APPE jobs, on areas overlapped on CMYK, overprint of the Separation color space may
not be enabled.
• With APPE jobs, overprint is not enabled even when you check [Image Quality] > [Black Over-
print] in Job Properties.
• With CPSI jobs, use the steps below to enable overprint.
‐ When using an ICC profile, click [Configure Processing Conditions] under [Color] > [CMYK]
> [CMYK Simulation] in the job properties, and then select the [Fast Profile Creation] box, or
select [Enable] in [Reproduce Target Pure K with Printer Pure K].
‐ When using a device link profile, at the time you create the profile, select [Enable] in [Setting
1] > [Reproduce Target Pure K with Printer Pure K].

Importing of PX Print Server Jobs

• Among former PX Print Server models from Fuji Xerox, only jobs created with the following
models can be imported:
‐ PX140 Print Server V6.0 or later
• Combined Jobs cannot be imported. Combined Jobs are not imported even as error jobs. They
just cause an error message, and they do not appear even in Job List.)
• Job files inLZHformat created by compressing files and saved using PX Print Server cannot be
imported.
Before you can import such a file, you must uncompress the file into JBF format.
• Job format files based on 1bit TIFF, that you can create using PX140 Print Server (extension is
".tbf"), cannot be imported. (Jobs are not imported even as error jobs. They just cause an error
message, and they do not appear even in Job List.)

Settings of Job Properties (Called as Print Options with PX Print Server)

• Settings for features that are available only on PX Print Server are not migrated.
• Settings for features that are available only on the machine are reverted to their defaults.
• As to settings for features that depend on the connected printer, for example, paper type, pa-
per weight and paper tray, some of them are migrated, and others are not.
For example, a paper weight specified as a weight range is reverted to default (90).
• As to settings for identical features, some of them are migrated exactly as they are, and others
are not. Also, depending on job conditions, occasionally some settings may not be migrated or
some settings may be altered.
• As to items that are registered and managed in [Color] or [Layout] on the machine, and then
selected and used from the Job Properties, their settings are not migrated even if PX Print
Server has features identical to them.
• Although the following features are identical between PX Print Server and the machine, their
settings are not migrated.
‐ All items in [Job Information]

Notes on Migration
• After you have migrated features, make sure you check the Job Properties in [Summary] be-
fore printing jobs.
• Even if feature have been successfully migrated, depending on features that take a priority or
differences in output processing rules, you may encounter unexpected print results or unex-
pected rotation angle during Ripping.
‐ Jobs whose settings are "Staple: Yes, Output Destination: output tray in the Finisher" (i.e.
jobs that originally can be delivered to finisher tray in the Finisher only after being stapled)
are delivered to "Staple: Yes, Output Destination: finisher tray in the Finisher" (stapling takes
a priority) on PX Print Server, or "Staple: Noe, Output Destination: output tray in the Finish-
er" (destination takes a priority) on the machine.
‐ Jobs using features that does not have options for "Image Inside" or "Image Outside" are
printed as "inside regardless of the face up / down output setting" on PX Print Server, or as
"Face Up: Image Outside, Face Down: Image Inside" on the machine.
‐ When the adjusting criterion for [Shift & Scale] is set to "Output Direction", vertical and hor-
izontal adjustment values work in an opposite manner. (The value set for "Landscape" on PX
Print Server will be set for "Portrait" on the machine)
‐ When using [Divide by Records], jobs are printed "from the last page within the record" on
PX Print Server, or printed "from the last page in the whole job" on the machine.
• Page structure changes made in [Job] > [Thumbnail] > [Edit Thumbnail] on PX Print Server are
not migrated.
• On the machine, jobs for which alternate fonts are specified are processed according to [Fail
Jobs if No Font Exists] in System Settings.

Changes to Overprint
• As opposed to that you select an output color to be overprinted ([Process] or [Process + Spot
Color]) in [Composite Overprint] on PX Print Server, on the machine, when you check [Color] >
[CMYK] > [CMYK Simulation], and [Spot Color] > [Spot Color Correction], the color mode will
be overprinted.
Also, on the machine, the default of [Composite Overprint] has now been hanged to On.
• For PX Print Server, we have accepted an characteristic of Illustrator, where there are color dif-
ferences in spot colors between overprint areas and other areas (i.e. only overprint areas are
converted to CMYK). On the machine, spot colors are now printed as spot colors so that there
are no color differences.
When you uncheck [Spot Color Correction], all object colors are converted to CMYK, resulting
in no color differences. You can also avoid color differences by checking [Separations] > [Select
Convert All Spot Colors To Process] in the [Print Preferences] dialog box on Illustrator.
