Finish verification in printing

摘要

A Finish Verification system used within a Variable Data Printing system that enables all of the sheets of a PPML/VDX job to be reliably tracked throughout the printing system such that any documents that are not properly finished are automatically detected and setup for re-print. A unique bar code on each sheet of a PPML/VDX job is read by a finishing device and compared to a Finish Verification File to verify that all of the required pages comprise each finished booklet. If any error prevents manufacturing any finished documents, a pre-press software application receives this information via an updated Finish Verification File and produces a new PPML/VDX job consisting of just the instance documents that need to be re-printed.
