Check out our SAMLight Video Tutorial regarding the Flash Compatible Mode: |
|---|
The flash compatible mode (FCM) is meant to:
•help creating jobs for the flash
•check the compatibility of existing jobs with flash
•check the compatibility of existing settings.
The flash compatible mode is reachable via toolbar which needs to be activated in Settings → System → View → Toolbars. Once activated, a new toolbar will be visible, see figure 380.
Figure 380: FCM toolbar disabled (gray)
The flash compatible mode itself is enabled and disabled by clicking on the checkbox next to the gray flash.
With this activation, options which are not available in flash are grayed out in SAMlight. So, the flash compatible mode helps in creating a valid flash job (*.unf).
In addition, the current settings and a currently loaded job will automatically be checked for compatibility with flash. If no incompatibility was found, the gray flash will turn green. If any incompatibility with flash was detected, the flash icon will turn red and a message box is coming up giving information on the incompatibilities. A click on the red flash will also do the check and bring up the message box.

FCM can be activated without Flash license so that the user can always check the compatibility. |

The message box consists of three columns and can look like the following example:

Table 59: Example strings of the FCM message box
The message box can be used to change the settings and the job such that it will be compatible with flash. The column item gives information on which item produces a conflict with flash, the column location gives information on where to find this item and the column reason gives a reason for the incompatibility.
To fix any incompatibility mentioned in the list:
•disable the flash compatible mode (click on the checkbox next to the flash icon)
•navigate to the location
•do changes according to the list.
