| Queues | | Opens the Queues window. In the Proofer Viewer, the Queues window lists all proofs that have been received by the proofer but have not yet been proofed. |
| Calibration | | Opens the Calibration window. The Calibration window displays all enabled media configurations that you can calibrate with your proofer. It also displays the status of the calibration for each media. For example, it shows whether a media needs to be calibrated or checked and when it needs to be calibrated again. |
