O&M Manual Printing

Operational and Maintenance Manual Printing I OMM Printing

We can print your O&M Manuals with Covers, Spines and Tabs. O&M Manuals can be printed from files collated from any online Project Collaboration Software like Omtrak and Aconnex.
Pdf files are preferred to word documents as any font issues are avoided due to the fact that the fonts are included in the pdf file. This also avoids issues with Tab Printing

OMM Manual Printing Work Instruction

re-Print Process
The Idea is always to get all files provided from the customer, in an ordered, structured and consistent base level for manipulating. You want to be able to streamline and batch process every step of the way to avoid missing important steps, allowing things to go out of order or incorrectly printing files in the wrong orientation or for the wrong section.
OMM will almost always have Sections and Subsections. You should be provided with what we call the “spine document” with pages donating the different sections and subsections. These get printed as TABS. We offer 10-cut Tabs, 5-cut Tabs, 1-cut solid Tabs and 210gsm A4 extra pages.
Checklist: Before printing, you must have the following:

• OMM file attachments (PDF files) must be in folders / subfolders pertaining to that related discipline
• Spine Document (if not provided, we will create – wither with blank pages for the face, or use the contents page with highlighted respective sections)
• Cover Page (this can be used as design elements to create the spine also)
• Tab section names (these can be generated from Spine Document Bookmarks or exported to an excel then text file from the contents page.)

If and when you get a situation where the above does not check out, here’s what you do:

•  Attachments not in folders – This isn’t necessarily important so long as the file names dictate what sections they go into.
• Attachments not in folders – This isn’t necessarily important so long as the file names dictate what sections they go into.
• All attachments not PDF – Convert them. No Cover Page – Usually the first page stating what the project is
• Don’t know how to create spine and what size covers – we have indesign templates for this. 25mm, 38mm, 50mm, 65mm
• No TAB section names – as stated above, the contents page will give you a breakup, this can be copied to excel (so you can use the excel row count to ascertain how many tabs you’ll print) or create bookmarks in the spine PDF by highlighting the section name on the PDF page, click bookmarks tab and add new (will automatically populate and assign to the page displaying) note, use this bookmark creating function to make tiered bookmarks ie Section 3, 3.1, 3.2, 3.2.1, 3.2.2, 3.3 etc. These tiers can later be allocated to the different tab stocks in PrismaPrepare
