During job processing, the Fiery Server uses JMF (JDF's Job Messaging Format) to send back status and audit information to the JDF job-submitting application.

When a JDF job is submitted to the Fiery Server, the job is checked for any errors or conflicts. If there are none, the operator can select additional print actions from the Actions menu in Command WorkStation, or choose to print the job directly.

If there is an error, the job is flagged in the Held list with an error icon.

The Job Errors window gives you a choice to fix or ignore JDF ticket conflicts. Ignoring a conflict may result in the job being printed, but with missing JDF information.

After a JDF job is printed, a message signaling job completion is automatically returned to the submitting application if the Fiery Server has been configured for Automate Job Close. For Manual Job Close, the operator needs to close the job through the Command WorkStation window when printing is completed to his satisfaction.
