Command Imposed jobs
WorkStation When you print an imposed job, you must manually set print options, such as Page Order
and Face-Down Printing.
For some jobs printed on heavy media weights (especially cover stock), set Page Order to
Reverse Face-Down Printing to Face Down. This helps prevent the media from jamming.
Printing a job with a Draft watermark
When a job has a Draft watermark and it is printed using Command WorkStation, the
watermark’s halftones may not be uniform.
Using Print Next to change the job’s printing order
When a job is waiting to be processed and is marked “yellow” in the Active Jobs queue of
Command WorkStation, its print order can be changed by using Print Next. Jobs that are
waiting to print or are marked “green” cannot be moved because they are already in the print
queue for the digital press.
WebTools Configure Network Services Setup
WebTools Configure > Network > Services displays Multicast Discovery but when a
Configuration Page is printed, it displays SLP.
Viewing scanned .TIFF files
Scanned jobs with the .TIFF file format cannot be opened with the default image previewer
on Mac OS X and Windows computers.
Digital press Custom page sizes on Bypass tray
When you print a job on a custom page size from Tray 5, the digital press expects a page size
for which the dimensions are transposed from those of the original. For example, if the
custom size is 9"x11", the digital press expects 11"x 9".

Booklet Maker Document Size and Orientation
In Command WorkStation Job Properties and in the Mac OS X printer driver, the Document
Size and Orientation options are missing from the Booklet Maker Wizard. This is because of a
Mac OS limitation.
In Job Properties, you cannot change the Document Size or Orientation of a job. However,
you can override the Page Size.
Applications Acrobat 8 TWAIN plugin
Acrobat 8 TWAIN plugin cannot acquire a job from Remote Scan.
Mixed page size documents from Adobe Acrobat 8
To print documents with mixed page sizes from Acrobat 8, you must set the Custom Page size
on the digital press.

If you print a job from Acrobat 8.0 and select “Choose Paper Source by PDF page size,”
Command WorkStation displays “No Paper Custom size” in the activity monitor. To work
around this, do not select “Choose Paper Source by PDF page size.” Alternatively, print your
job from Acrobat 7.0.
Microsoft Word 2007 and Windows Vista printer driver

printer driver, the digital press wants to print the job from Tray 5, which does not have the
correct paper loaded.
