Print job canceled and purged when held for
preview
The printer can store up to 64 pages for preview. If  the job that you selected for preview contains more
than 64 pages, the job will be canceled and purg ed without notification when the printer starts to
process the sixty-fifth page. If you want to previe w a job that has more than 64 pages, press the
Continue  button before the printer starts to process  the sixty-fifth page. Because the preview image is
ready as soon as the first page is  processed, you should have enough  time to check the preview image.

							Printer alerts
Your printer can communicate two types of alerts:
● Errors:  Mainly alerting you to the fact that the printe r is unable to print. However, in the driver,
errors can also alert you to conditions that could ruin  the print, such as clipping, even if the printer
is able to print.
● Warnings:  Alert you when the printer needs attentio n either for an adjustment, such as a
calibration or for a possible unprintable situation , such as a preventive maintenance or low ink.
There are four different alert communicators within your printers system.
● Front-panel display:  The front panel shows only the most relevant alert at a time. It generally
requires the user to press the  OK key for confirmation, but in the  case of a warning, it disappears
after a timeout. There are permanent alerts, such  as ink cartridge low on ink, that reappear
when the printer becomes idle and ther e is not another more severe alert.
● Embedded Web Server:  The upper-right corner of the Embedded Web Server window shows
the printer status. If there is an alert in  the printer, the status shows the alert text.
● Driver:  The driver shows alerts. The driver warns about job configuration settings that may
produce a problem in the final output. If the printe r is not ready to print, it displays a warning.
● HP Utility:  To see alerts, go to the Overview  tab and review the Items needing attention
list on the right-hand side.
By default, alerts are displayed only when you are printing and there are printing problems, for
example: cartridge low or out of ink or printer out of paper. If alerts are enabled and there is a
problem that prevents printing, you see a pop-up  window, which explains why the printer is not
going to print. Follow the instructions  to achieve your required result.
NOTE:There are environments that do not support  bidirectional communication, for example: a
Windows computer connected to the printer with US B. In those cases, alerts do not reach the job
owner.

							A Overnight job scenario
In this scenario, the print service provider (PSP) is nearing the end of the business day and receives a
new order which requires delivery  early the next day. The printer is currently printing and there are
jobs in the queue which must also be delivered the next day. The best solution is to queue the new job
and print it overnight.
The following information describes the necessary  tasks to ensure worry-free overnight printing.
Task 1: Handle the digital content
The following steps will help you to successfully handle the digital content.
1. Open the PDF file in Adobe Acrobat.
2. Ensure you have all the necessary information to 
submit the job, including fonts and high-resolution
images.
3. Check the orientation, margins, typography, colo
r and resolution to ensure that there are no
printing or finishing inconsistencies.
4. Print a draft copy of the work on a small printer as a proof for validation.
5. Generate the PDF for the RIP.
6. Move the PDF file to the RIP station.
NOTE:
Ensure the job can be complete d and delivered on time given the current workload and the
paper and ink supplies.
Task 2: Handle the paper
Ensure that there is enough paper left in the curren t roll to accommodate all of the queued jobs and the
new order. If there is not enough paper le ft, pause the print queue and load a new roll.
The table below identifies sections of this user’s guid e which will help you to quickly find information on
handling paper.
