Error avoidance
At print time, PRISMAprepare informs you about:
• Settings that are not supported by the selected printer.
• Issues that you can solve for the selected printer.
Click icon [View all errors and warnings] to view the notifications. No icon is displayed when
there are no errors, warnings, or information messages.
Error avoidance is not available on all the supported printer models.
How does it work
The prerequisite to get correct error avoidance warnings is an up-to-date printer configuration
(i.e. which finishers are available at the printer).
During the preparation and printing of a document you choose the most appropriate resources to
obtain the requested result. Resources may be media, printers and finishers. Due to the
multiplicity and complexity of the possible combinations of resources your choice may be not
optimal or even impossible.
Also, a document may be prepared optimally for printer A and because this printer is not
available it can be printed on printer B. Printer A and B may have different capabilities and limits
that will impact the produced document. The document can still be printed on the target printer.
The exception is when the requested media is not supported; in this case the print job is blocked.
The error avoidance operation takes only the features of a printer into account that are supported
by PRISMAprepare. The media mapping is taken into account for all printers driven by a
PRISMAsync Print Server.
The print settings requested via the printer driver are not covered by the error avoidance checks.
Offline finishing is ignored during the error avoidance checks.
