When Manual Close is turned on in Configure, the operator must close jobs in order for the submitting application to receive production information on the job, even if the job was canceled.

Other users can close jobs to record and return the actual completion status of the job to the sender. Print MIS Solution users receive production status during the run, and receive audit detail for costing when the job is closed out of the Fiery server.

You can close a job manually at any time during the Fiery JDF workflow, provided that any required information has been provided.

In Fiery JDF Setup, you specify either auto or manual closing for jobs, and what information, if any, is required to close a job.

The Close Job tab displays the following fields, which are automatically populated:

• Paper Catalog or Media Catalog - Lists the media specified in the JDF ticket. You can change this entry if a different media was used.

• Employee ID - Comes from the login the user used when logging in to Command WorkStation.

• Media Product ID - Refers to the Product ID in Paper Catalog or Media Catalog.

• Planned Sheets - Comes from the JDF ticket.

• Actual Sheets - Comes from the Fiery server Job Log.

You can override the entries for these fields if required, except for Media Product ID and Planned Sheets.
