Fail on Missing Images does not work for PostScript input unless "Do OPI" is ON

Error

 


Symptoms

 

When you submit a PostScript file with OPI comments and check only "fail on missing images" , but DO NOT turn on "do OPI", your pages process successfully, even if there are missing images.


Cause

  If the input is PDF, Prinergy will see the OPI comments in the PDF and report missing images, even if OPI is off.

If the input is PostScript, the Normalizer will strip out the OPI comments if OPI is not activated. So, by the time Prinergy is checking the file for missing images, there are no longer any OPI comments and Prinergy doesn't report a missing image error.


Solution

 

If your workflow depends on failing on missing images but NOT doing OPI, you could consider the following solutions:

1. Pre-distill the PS file to PDF (preserving OPI comments) before bringing it into Prinergy.

2. Use another OPI configuration to catch missing images (for example, turn on "fail on images below 150 dpi" to catch images that are likely low-res FPOs).
