3-17 Merging raster files with DocBuilder
Generally, the print option settings specified for the Thumbnail A job that are
adopted by the pages copied from Thumbnail B do not require reRIPping to
take effect. The one exception is the setting specified for the Save Fast Reprint
option, which requires reRIPping if you want to change it.
The print option settings that remain with the pages copied from Thumbnail
B into Thumbnail A are generally those that do require reRIPing to take
effect.
Attributes that do not require reRIPping can be changed for the newly
merged job without having to reRIP any original PostScript files. Attributes
that require reRIPping result in reRIPping of the original PostScript file(s)
associated with Thumbnail A.
4. To close the Thumbnail view, click once on the same tab you used to open it
(Thumbnail A or Thumbnail B tab).
5. If you have edited Thumbnail A, you are prompted to save the job (click Yes)
and enter a new name. Enter a new name and click OK.
The new raster file is now in the RIP area, ready to print, together with the
original source and target files.
NOTE: If you print the edited raster file, it appears in the Job Log with the
name of the original job, not the new name you specified for the edited job.
Since you cannot create a new PostScript file by merging two raster data jobs,
you must print the merged raster file, which has references to the original
PostScript files. If a merged job is reRIPped and printed, then only the pages
of the original PostScript job in Thumbnail A will be processed and printed.
NOTE: In cases where multiple users are connected to the iR C2100/2100S
via the Command WorkStation, Fiery WebSpooler, and/or Fiery Spooler, and
one user makes changes to a Thumbnail A job, not all users may see the
results of those changes. If you are unable to view changes in a job, or if
selecting a Thumbnail window results in a message indicating zero pages,
then close and relaunch the Command WorkStation, Fiery WebSpooler, or
Fiery Spooler.
