Principles concepts and methods of the printing process to other Printing Service Specialist in

And experience of all printing documents from beginning of the printing process to the end of

the process. My positions gave me the ability to evaluate and enhance methods of

meeting customers needs to increase program effectives by knowing what is needed to produce

and run a job with the correct materials, machinery and knowledge of the procedures needed

for effectiveness.

Correspond back and forth with the Planners/Jacket writers to address and insure proper

materials are correct and with the job to meet prioritize dates.

I use the PEPS system, Oracle, M/S Word, M/S Excel, M/S PowerPoint and Adobe to

prepare jobs for printing. I also use the PEPS system to add remarks and pages on the

job to track and see the status of jobs being printed or jobs that needs to be located to be

revised for various reasons, from the customer to the Planners.

I Input work in our sections Share Drive for tracking purposes, this drive includes all the

Information on the job from start to finish, this really helps because we have several shifts

if another shift has any questions on the job such as the pages, time frame, materials, CDs,

address where job is to be sent. Because in between sections things get misplaced or lost, so

the Share Drive helps us in many ways.

As a Printing Service Specialist, I handle many jobs such as outside contractors, Office of the

Federal Register, Public Papers of the President, IRS Agency jobs, List of Section Affected,

Public Laws, Senate Docs, House Docs, Senate Hearings, House Hearings, Presidential Docs,

Federal Index, Scans, Read Only, Congressional Record, Advance Record. I also write up

EPD Jackets, these jackets are kind of like a paper trail for sections to sign off of after

Completing the work in their section. It includes materials and manuscript to be followed with

the jacket.

Maintain the closing of work jackets than forwarding them to financial management for the

customer to be billed.

Required to open the system for various sections when locked out of the PEPS System.

In my current position, I have the ability to reopen jobs going back into the plant such as

(Back-To Press). Jobs on the OK-List that needs reopen for printing. Job’s that are locked out

of the system or proofed out on accident. I work directly with Text Processing, Keyboard

Section, Congressional Publication Section, Markup and Proof room Sections, PED Section,

Copy Prep, Plate Room, Press Room, Digital Pre-Press Section and Creative Service and

Bindery Sections. These are all the sections that contacts me on a frequent basis about jobs

being hung in PEPS or just simply wanting to know the status of a certain job. These

actions was processed on our PEPS System. My 19 years of working with United States

Government Printing Office was with all aspects of the Printing Sections.

However, I have the knowledge from being a Photocomposition Keyboard Operator of

sending, updating to processing incoming work from the files sent from OFR to be processed

in EPD Productions and Divisions.
