SDFE-2033

The Setup pane Print Bars tab has been renamed to RIP Servers to better represent the settings in the tab. The Print Mode settings have been moved from the Setup pane General tab to the RIP Servers tab, and the Print Mode option for RIP Direct is visible when Offline mode is not supported in the printer profile.

Added a Disabled Ink Mode option to the printer profile that determines whether inks that don't appear in the media are blank or produce no separations. 

SDFE-2131

Jobs can be made LILO jobs via .complete submission, which allows viewing and setting the lead in and lead out page counts.

Known Limitations

In the Job Editor's Custom Color Editor, when you modify a color, the system will generate a new media file. This new file is a duplicate of the original target media, but with the adjusted color values that the user has specified. This ensures that the color's name remains consistent, and the original color values are retained in the original media for any potential reprinting needs.
