Set job options

You can configure settings for options that affect all jobs, such as whether to enable the Printed queue.

Important: There are two versions of Configure and they are specific to the Fiery Server you are connected to. This is a combined procedure that describes what to do when connected to a Fiery Server with FS100/100Pro or earlier, and notes about what to do with FS150/150 Pro or later. If you are not sure which version of Configure you are using, see Which version of Configure am I using?.
  1. From Configure, choose Server > Jobs.
  2. Select or clear Enable Printed Queue.
    Note: If you are connected to a Fiery Server with FS150/150Pro, you can find this setting in Job Management > Printed Queue instead. Select Save printed jobs.

    If this option is enabled, you can reprint jobs from the Printed queue without resending them to the Fiery Server. If this option is not enabled, jobs are deleted from the Fiery Server hard disk after they are printed.

  3. In the Jobs Saved in Printed Queue field, type the number of jobs you want to be saved in the Printed queue.
    Note: This option is available only if you enable the Printed queue. Be aware that jobs saved in the Printed queue occupy space on the Fiery Server hard disk.
  4. To print a start page when the Fiery Server is turned on or restarted, select Print Start Page.
    Note: If you are connected to a Fiery Server with FS150/150Pro, you can find this setting in Fiery Server instead. Select the Print Start Page check box.

    The start page lists the Fiery Server, the current date and time, the amount of memory installed, the network protocols enabled, and the print connections published.

  5. To display a preview thumbnail of a job in Command WorkStation while it is being processed, select Preview While Processing.
    Note: If you are connected to a Fiery Server with FS150/150Pro, you can find this setting in Job Management instead. Select the Preview while processing check box.

    If you do not enable this option, users can see a preview by processing and holding the job. Also, users with Impose can preview a held job that has not been processed.

    Note: Selecting this option may slow Fiery Server processing time.
  6. To configure the Fiery Server to begin processing (RIPping) large PS or PCL jobs before they are done spooling, select Enable RIP While Receive.
    Note: If you are connected to a Fiery Server with FS150/150Pro, you can find this setting in Job Management instead. Select the RIP while Receive check box.

    Be aware of the following limitations before enabling this option:

    • PDF and VDP jobs are not supported with Rip While Receive because these jobs must spool completely before they are processed.

    • Enable RIP While Receive may cause some jobs to print out of the order in which they were received over the network. If you need to ensure that jobs are printed sequentially in a "First In, First Out" (FIFO) workflow, enable Sequential Print.

      Note: If you are connected to a Fiery Server with FS150/150Pro, you can enable Sequential Print from Job Submission > Sequential Print.
    • Depending on the network environment and the speed of the client computer submitting the job to the Fiery Server, enabling RIP While Receive can monopolize Fiery Server resources for a long time, preventing smaller and/or faster jobs from "skipping ahead" and processing while the RIP While Receive job is still spooling.

  7. To securely erase a job from the Fiery Server after printing, do the following:
    • Select Secure Erase (if the feature is supported by your Fiery Server).

      Note: Selecting this option may slow Fiery Server processing time. For more information about this feature, see the Secure Erase document that accompanies your Fiery Server. The information may be a in separate document or may be part of Configuration and Setup.
      Note: If you are connected to a Fiery Server with FS150/150Pro, you can find this setting in Fiery Server > Security > Secure Erase instead.
    • From Operational Mode, specify when the files are erased on the Fiery Server (if the feature is supported by your Fiery Server).

  8. Sample Print enables users to print a sample to another output tray to verify the quality of a long print job while it is printing. To set up this feature, specify the following options:
    • Frequency - Specify whether to print a certain number of page sheets for all jobs or only the current job. To perform a Sample Print only when requested by the operator, select On-demand.

    • Content - Select the type of job for which to perform a Sample Print. If the job is collated, an entire output set is printed as the sample. If the job is uncollated, a single sheet is printed as a sample. If the sample content is a set, once the printed sheet interval triggers the Fiery Server to print a sample, the sample begins printing at the beginning of the next set.

    • Output Tray - Choose the tray for the Sample Print. If you select Disable for the Output Tray, the sample sheet is not printed. If the output tray of the job and the output tray for the sample page are the same, the sample page prints.

    Sample Print jobs output as an extra set and do not affect the collated output order.

    Note: Not all Fiery Servers support the Sample Print option.
    Note: If you are connected to a Fiery Server with FS150/150Pro, you can find this setting in Job Management > Sample Print instead.
  9. Job Mismatch enables users to specify how to handle jobs that cannot print because of missing media.
    Note: If you are connected to a Fiery Server with FS150/150Pro, you can find this setting in Job Management > Job Mismatch instead.
  10. Apply or save your changes.
