33-2 Preparing for Fiery Setup

In addition, you can enable the Printed queue, which is a storage area for the most recent jobs from the Print queue. The Printed queue makes it convenient to reprint those jobs. In Setup, you can enable the Printed queue and specify the maximum number of jobs retained in the queue (see page 4-6). Reprinting jobs in the Printed queue requires the job management tools.

NOTE: To use the Fiery utilities and Fiery WebTools, you must enable at least one of the print connections.

Hold queue

Jobs sent to the Hold queue are spooled to the Fiery hard disk for printing at a later time or for reprinting. Because the Hold queue is a storage place, jobs sent to it cannot proceed through the printing process until the operator intervenes using the job management tools (see the Job Management Guide).

Print queue

This is the standard Fiery queue. Jobs sent to the Print queue are processed and printed in the order they are received. Jobs prioritized by an operator with the job management tools and jobs sent via the Direct connection can take priority over jobs sent to the Print queue.

Direct connection

The Direct connection transmits jobs directly to the Fiery, but only when the Fiery is Idle. If the Fiery is busy, the job remains at the user workstation until the Fiery is ready. The job is then processed as soon as the previous job is finished and before the next queued job is processed.

NOTE: The Direct connection is not supported for LPR printing.

Jobs sent to the Direct connection are not stored on the Fiery hard disk, and cannot be selected for reprinting, moving, or deletion. Therefore, the Direct connection provides a measure of security for sensitive files. Jobs sent to the Direct connection do appear in the Job Log, for accounting purposes.

NOTE: To download fonts to the Fiery, you must publish the Direct connection.
