The term “flightcheck” can be simply defined as the process of checking a document prior to printing in hopes of catching any potential problems. All elements of the document must be precisely examined in order to prevent an unwanted printout. Needless to say, failing to properly and thoroughly “flightcheck” a document could necessitate having to return to the document’s application in order to make the appropriate corrections and to then reprint the document all over again. For some large jobs this could add up to a tremendous amount of wasted paper or film, lost time and consequently added expenses.
To fully understand the action of performing a proper “flightcheck” you need only consider the comparison of what it takes to get an airplane ready for takeoff. The service engineers walk around the plane with clipboards in hand inspecting each part for its proper working condition and when each item on their checklists have been checked off and given a successful “pass”, then and only then can the plane be officially approved as being “ready to fly”.
Of course, checking out an airplane is a far more serious activity than the mere printing of a document because people’s lives will be at stake if something goes wrong with the plane. On the other hand, there will no doubt come a day when you will be asked to print an extremely important document where your job may certainly be at risk if you don’t get it right.
But, relax and do not worry! Such an event will never occur, that is now that you have FLIGHTCHECK® to come to the rescue and help save the day!
