Raster Preview
Raster Preview allows you to examine rasterized job data. Once Asanti has rendered one or more jobs, you can select and view the individual job pages by double-clicking the job results in the Job Layout pane. Asanti creates an exact, viewable image of the data on your front-end workstation. The requested raster data is displayed as a series of overlapping . You can open and view pages at different magnifications, and check individuals, ink coverage, and .
On the basis of this detailed job preview, you can approve and send the job directly to your output device (, , etc.) or abort the job before submitting it to output. You can also save the rendered job data to disk.
Preview supports all , modes, and page sizes. You can simultaneously preview several pages from the same job, and multiple previews of a single page. Images can be displayed at any zoom factor from 1:128 to 32:1.
You can preview one page of a job which has been rendered, while the following page is being rendered. Overlap between “rendering/previewing” and “imaging” is also supported on a page-by-page or flat-by-flat basis.
NOTE: Preview is a “read-only” application: Tools are provided for zooming and panning the image, and for displaying various types of image information. However, no changes can be made to the raster data. If errors are found in the previewed data, the job content must be corrected in the original application, and then re-submitted.
Post-Preview Options
When you have finished previewing the pages of a job, you can:
•Approve the results: You can approve the previewed page, or the entire job, and send it directly to your output device. Once it has been output, the raster data is automatically deleted, and will no longer be available for previewing or imaging.
•Reject the results: You can reject the previewed page, or the entire job. Rejected items are marked with a red stripe.
•Approve rejected results: You can approve a job or item which is currently marked as rejected. This item is then treated the same as an approved item.
