The optimal solution is always
depending on the application
parameter

Color
 b/w overprint on preprinted stock

Preflight and Color Make Ready for AFP
Why do we introduce it?

AFP applications are typically tuned already in the design phase

Demand to check file quality close before production (e.g. Direct
Mailers, Outsourced print shops)

Since there is no such solution in the market up to now, Océ
decided to develop its own solution for AFP based preflighting
and make ready
43
Preflight and Color Make Ready for AFP
Basic Preflight



Checks for presence of all external resources
Checks basic AFP syntax and structure
Generates report on page counts, duplexing, n-Up, X2up, resources,
bins, AIMS, finishing, medium maps, BCOCA

Navigation & Manual Reprint - Needs
Customer wants to reprint parts of a job




from a given start page number to given end page number
from a last successfully printed page to the next successfully printed
page without printed page numbers
all mail pieces corresponding to a provided reprint list of unique values
all mail pieces containing a dedicated piece of information
Customer wants to browse job by content


Check that the job contains a dedicated piece of information
Select items with a certain logical content from the job
55
How does it work?

If a job is selected for Navigation, the index information is extracted from
(an already indexed) AFP job to identify each mail piece. All index values
are alphabetically sorted (several index tags possible).

The user can choose one of index tags found in the job and browse values
corresponding to the selected tag.

Then the user can display and browse all mail pieces for a selected
tag/value pair.

Next step is to easily take over mail piece(s) in a reprint assembly

The final step is to submit the reprint assembly as reprint job
Customer benefits:

Easier reprint of damaged documents
