This section provides a basic roadmap of procedures for creating jobs for the NXT based upon the different methods of entering data in the job.
These roadmaps listed are only for general reference and are only designed to help in the job creation process. There are cases when more or less steps are required depending on the situation.
The details for performing the unique NXT steps listed in the following procedures are in the following sections.
The name in the steps that are marked (NXT) are based on the name of that item in this manual. For details on procedures that are not marked (NXT), refer to the Fuji Flexa User Manual, Chapter 2. The procedure can be determined based upon the name of the corresponding step.
