Proofer

This is where you select the Esko Proof Server workflow to which the task sends your RIP'ed output.

In the Proof Server Workflow list, you can see all of the valid workflows found on the Proof Server(s) you are connected to.
Note:
To use this task, you need to have created a printer, workflow and media in Fiery Command WorkStation (the client application of the Esko Proof Server). Make sure that the correct media is selected in the Media Associated option in the Print Settings tab of the workflow.

For information about creating a Proof Server workflow, please see the Esko Proof Server documentation, available from the Pack Proof documentation page.

Attention:
If you are connected to several Proof Servers, make sure that every workflow has a unique name, even across Proof Servers.

If there are workflows with the same name on several Proof Servers, you will not be able to select any of those workflows here (the name will be greyed out).
You can:
- select a workflow from the list,
- use SmartNames (that must resolve to the name of a valid Proof Server workflow),
- set the workflow using public parameters.
Tip:
When you select a workflow from the list, its proofing parameters (number of copies to print, rotation or scaling to apply to your file...), will be filled in by default in the Proof for Content Approval task, so that you don't have to go check them in the Proof Server workflow and copy them into the task.

You can of course change those parameters as desired in the Proof for Content Approval task.
In Submit Method, choose how you want to submit your print jobs to your Proof Server workflow.

You can either have the Esko Proof Server print them directly, or keep them in the "held" queue, so that you can make changes in Fiery Command WorkStation (for example, add them to a manual nesting).
- Choose Default from Proof Workflow to use the setting defined in the Proof Server workflow.
  
  Tip:
  You can find this setting in Fiery Command WorkStation's Server Manager view: select your proofer and workflow, then go to File > Job Detection.
  
  If Put all incoming jobs on hold is selected, print jobs will stay in the "held" queue until you print them manually from Command WorkStation. They will be shown as Spooled in Command WorkStation's Job Center list.
  
  If Put all incoming jobs on hold is deselected, they will be printed automatically as they arrive.
  
  For more information, see the Esko Proof Server documentation, available from the Pack Proof documentation page.
- Choose Hold in Proof queue if you want to disregard the Put all incoming jobs on hold setting in Command WorkStation, and always keep jobs (launched with this ticket) on hold in Command WorkStation's Job Center list (shown as Spooled).
  
  In Automation Engine's Tasks view, the task is in the waiting state until the job is printed in Command WorkStation.
- Choose Print if you want to disregard the Put all incoming jobs on hold setting in Command WorkStation, and have the Esko Proof Server always automatically print jobs (launched with this ticket).
