8 Print Job Manager
8.1 Introduction
The Print Job Manager (PJM) is the common tool used to interactively define and submit
jobs to the PRISMAproduction system.
The description of a print job is saved as the ‘Job Ticket’. Depending on the licensed lan-
guage modules (i.e. APA-Module, POD-Module ...) different file formats can be processed.
The following description covers the formats which are available for the language module
described in this book.
The job ticket describes the print job for one print file or for a list of print files. The print job
contains the name of the print file, the type of data and the physical target of the printout.
Depending on the printer type a list of print files may contain different data formats. After
reformatting i.e. PostScript, PCL or TIFF files can printed on an IPDS printer system.
Apart from print jobs you can also store resources and reprints within the job ticket which
are released for production in a second step.
Based on a server/client concept these job tickets can be sent from any client to the server,
where they are analyzed and processed.
In connection with LCDS print jobs are interpeted in a more general way. They include also
the conversion of resources and compile jobs for the preparation of job description languag-
es.
