Markzware FlightCheck 7.5 Mac Ground Controls:
Print Options

Thumbnails – This will warn you if someone has turned on Thumbnails. Thumbnails are usually used to do a rough proof a document and are not desirable for the final print job.

Collate – Collate can change the order in which pages print out. This may be undesirable in many workflows.

Back To Front – If a job is set to print Back To Front, the pages print in reverse order. This may cause issues with certain workflows.

Include Blank Pages – If blank pages are set to print, then this Ground Control will trigger. In some case this may cause useless waste of plates or film.

Print Colors as Grays – If the user has set colors to print as gray, this Ground Control will trigger. Printing colors as grays can cause issues when a job is processed for print as color images usually wind up only as grayscale and show up only on the black plate.

Black & White – If the user has set the job to print as black and white, this Ground Control will trigger. Just like print as grays everything winds up on the black plate.

Color – This is the normal output condition for color jobs and you usually want to leave this Ground Control turned off.
