(Jobs – Job Travelers)
The job traveler provides your shop personnel with the manufacturing specifications needed to perform the job, including job header details, user-defined fields, outputs, sequences, tasks, components, and images. It is typically printed at time of job release and “travels” with the job as it progresses through the shop.
Job Control Panel Recommended
Even though you can print job travelers from this menu option, we recommend that you print job travelers in the Job Control Panel screen as the more efficient alternative. In that screen you can print job travelers in a single batch for all jobs selected for release to production.
