■ Job Error Report
Job Error Report contains the important troubleshooting information that the technical support personnel can use to solve
customer issues. When a user encounters a job error, system fault, or any unexpected output while printing a job, the user can
generate a report from Command WorkStation. The Job Error Report is a collection of job files, logs, and server information in a
zip file, and it is available from both Mac OS and Windows versions of Command WorkStation.
NOTE:
The error log entries are overwritten after a period of time. To ensure the error logs contain the relevant information, create the
job error report as soon as possible after the error is observed. Create the job error report before rebooting the imagePRESS Server
and if possible, before any additional print jobs are processed or printed.
● To create a job error report
1. In Command WorkStation, select a job in the Printed or Held list.
Only one job error report can be created at a time. If multiple jobs are selected in Job Center, the Create Error Report button
is not available.
2. If accessing from a Windows client computer, press Ctrl and right-click the job. If accessing from a Mac OS client
computer, press Command+Control and right-click the job.
3. In the shortcut menu, click Create Error Report.

Color profiles can be useful to include if they are custom profiles and the print colors are incorrect.

The email log can be useful to include if the file was submitted by email.

size of the report. In this case, it may be useful to provide it separately.

The job error report size can be up to 2GB. If the selections and attachments result in a report larger than 2GB, the report
must be reduced in order to be completed.

support.
