troubleshooting and problem solving safety devices that need to be in place when working on the machine paper misfeed, how to access and clear it problems with front to back registration problems that can occur if substrate weight and machine specifications do not match problems that can occur downloading files from a digital front end and how can they be solved distinguishing between a problem with downloading from a digital front end and a problem with the printing module action if a digital front end loses communication with the printing module quality control precautions that can be taken to maintain fit, proportion and position of printed images ensuring that the machine has been calibrated to manufacturer's specifications what to do if image colour is not consistent ensuring that correct dimensions and measurements have been set up in the pre-press stage quality issues that can arise if improper substrate handling procedures are not performed information sources machine manuals, safety and other documentation that are relevant to machine operation and maintenance and where are they kept finding information relating to industry software applications incorrect version of software or need an update, locating and acquiring this other sources of information can you identify job requirements and processing systems actions if vital information was missing from the job ticket (manual or electronic) checks to be undertaken prior to set up (availability of material, maintenance) file does not transfer correctly action should to be taken to correct the problem data access and manipulation checks to be made to ensure the data is in a format that can be used in digital printing benefits of using electronic data rather than scanning hard copy ways to submit a PDF file to the digital printer communication and client interaction measure that can be taken to ensure clients have correct procedures for providing electronic files explaining to a client about differences in colour displayed on a computer monitor to printed output recommendations to a client who has created an electronic file in an incompatible software application estimating a turnaround time for a client with a tight deadline steps that would need to be followed for a client approval of the print proofing and adjustment circumstances where a job would be modified before printing why margins would be changed when the job reaches the printer what the proof checked against final approval for basic jobs adjusting colour, toner/ink coverage or density problems substrate transportation, delivery, in-line and on-line processes actions if the required substrate were unavailable maximum and minimum weight of substrate that can be printed on a specific machine maximum feeding and delivery quantities for the machine possible problems with incorrect feeding and delivery OHS procedures to be followed when setting up in-line processes in-line options are available on the machine on-line finishing options that are available on the machine document finishing and client delivery various types of binding procedures that would be followed if the binding method required by the client was not available at your site options that could you suggested if the document size was too thick to staple? packaging of finished print work is important
