Auto Preflight for Hot Folders and Virtual Printers
Prior to System 10, operators were able to apply Preflight to individual jobs they thought might have content problems that would cause
the file to print incorrectly, such as missing fonts and low-resolution images. Now, Fiery users can apply Preflight to any jobs that use Hot
Folders and Virtual Printers to automatically check files before processing. Files that fail the preflight can be routed to the Hold queue for
an operator to check before printing. Automatically preflighting jobs saves time, resources and money, and it increases productivity by
rerouting incorrect files before printing. Auto Preflight enhances the Preflight feature of the Fiery Graphic Arts Package, Premium Edition
by automating it through Hot Folders and Virtual Printers.
