Chapter 4: Production
This chapter informs the user how to use the Production
application of the Controller software to monitor the
system and process jobs.
Monitor the System
The Production application in the Controller software allows you to process and
monitor jobs. You also can see the status of modules and whether supplies
need to be replaced. To customize elements of the production interface, refer
to “Production Preferences” on page 47.
Open the Production Station
If the Production tab in the Controller software is not visible, click the
Applications menu and select Production. To open the production station, click
the Production tab. The production station provides a visual representation of
the entire system.
Module Status
In the Production tab of the Production Application, each module in the system
is represented in graphic form. Color coding shows the status of each module.
Corresponding messages display in the lower message pane.
• If security is enabled on your system, you might not have access to all
of the options described in this chapter. Consult your system
administrator, if needed.
• You can access the information in this chapter also in the PB8500
Controller software. Click the Help menu and select Help.
• If you upgrade your Controller software in the future, the online help
will be current with the version to which you upgrade. You can
download a more current version of this guide from
http://www.TrustedCare.com. If you do not have access to this site,
please contact your Datacard representative.
Your system may have different modules, but the status reporting is
the same.
