agree  Erik Macki: Exactly; I would keep the "setup" in, myself. It's a bit different from a preview window, which woulds be created after all the setup is done.

agree  Ken Cox: If the audience is technical, 'print dialog' is sufficient, and I'd say 'window' instead of 'box'

  -> Thanks! 'Dialog box' or 'dialog window' - the term is not really fixed; Microsoft promotes the former, and i think it is more widespread.

Explanation:
Microsoft glossaries include "processing" as one of the possible translations for "Vorlauf".
After analyzing the context of "Vorlauffenster", I searched the Internet for "Processing Window" and found many sources similar to this context.

"The display of the status informs the user of the current stage of the print job under creation, that is, the stage before selection of the template or the stage after selection of the template. The interrupted creation of a print job is resumed by the job resumption module in response to selection of the print job in the job list field. The resumption procedure reads the current status of the print job under creation from the corresponding work management field based on the job ID, opens a PROCESSING WINDOW corresponding to the current status of the print job, and reproduces the print job under creation with the respective pages stored in the corresponding page storage field."
