Users of the print system
Print environments where the varioPRINT 140 series is installed differ in many aspects. Therefore,
it is difficult to describe general roles that are applicable to each situation. The varioPRINT 140
series has default user accounts that are related to the access of password-protected functionality
or settings. However, the default user groups can be adjusted by the system administrator
according to the number or type of users in your organization.
The tasks related to specific phases of the job workflow give a more uniform picture. Most print
environments split tasks between job preparation, job planning, print production, printer
maintenance, and printer configuration. Because of complexity of media definitions, many print
environments have experts on these areas as well.
Below you find five different roles that are used in this operation guide.
•
The tasks of the expert focus on how to translate media requirements of customers into
system and job settings.
•
The tasks of the prepress focus on the translation of specific customer requests into job
settings. They can work with PRISMAprepare or PRISMAproduction to prepare documents or
data for printing. When ready the documents are submitted to the printer.
•
The tasks of the operators focus on job planning, job editing, the print production, and printer
maintenance.
•
The tasks of the key operators focus on workflow settings and job defaults.
•
The tasks of the system administrators focus on the user authentication, data security, and
connection to other systems and servers.
