Media and color expert Prepress Print operator Job planning Media loading Finishing and delivery Refilling toner and staples [4] Task-based workflow The prepress staff knows the quality requirements of the jobs and the way to submit the jobs. The print operators can concentrate on the job planning and the print production. Therefore, the print operator does the following tasks: • Starts up the print system. • Prints the jobs and prepares copy and scan jobs. • Makes proof prints. • Performs last-minute job changes. • Makes sure that all consumables needed for the jobs are available during the day. • Carries out maintenance routines, such as a daily calibration procedure or a media registration. Trained operators are allowed to carry out specific maintenance tasks for operators. For example, correction procedures to clean machine parts or to improve the image quality. Expert tasks, such as media catalog management and advanced color management, belong to the role of the system administrator and the key operator. The key operator is also responsible for mechanical maintenance tasks and maintenance procedures via the control panel (local key operator settings). (See System configuration and maintenance on page 180 ) NOTE This guide is based on the roles and tasks as described above. However, you may work in a print environment that has different needs. For example, in small organizations operators can do prepress tasks as well as print operator tasks. imagePRESS C800 Series Chapter 2 - Explore the print system 31
