The application or Adobe PS printer driver may not set up the file properly for printing on the Fiery X3eTY, resulting in unexpected printing errors and longer processing time. NOTE: If paper loaded in the selected tray is a different size, orientation, or media type than that of the job that you are sending, the Fiery X3eTY displays an error message and the job does not print. Load the correct paper in the selected tray or cancel the job. If you specify incompatible print settings, a dialog box may appear. Follow the on-screen instructions to resolve the conflict. 9 Click Print.

SPOOLER 35 SPOOLER Spooler duplicates many of the functions and features of Command WorkStation. Spooler provides additional flexibility by allowing job tracking and management over the Internet or an intranet. Spooler is installed from the User Software (Drivers & Utilities) CD, and is available for Mac OS 9 computers only. To use Spooler, users need only a network connection to the Fiery X3eTY. SPOOLER 36 Tracking and managing jobs with Spooler Use Spooler to perform the following functions from your workstation: · Override current job option settings. · Delete jobs and cancel processing. · Duplicate or rename jobs. · RIP a job and hold the raster data. · Hold jobs in the spooled area or the RIPped area. · Remove raster data from RIPped files. · Change the priority of jobs. · Edit and merge raster data jobs. · Display, print, export, or delete the Job Log. Most of these functions require an Administrator or Operator password. However, even without a password, you can log on to Spooler as a Guest with view-only privileges. NOTE: Most Spooler commands are identical to those of Command WorkStation. For more information about specific commands, see the Command WorkStation, Windows Edition and Command WorkStation, Macintosh Edition chapters in Utilities.

About the Spooler window Similar to Command WorkStation, Spooler allows you to view Fiery X3eTY and copier/ printer functions, and acts as an interface from which you can control those functions. The Spooler window is divided into three areas by Spool, RIP, and Print status bars. When the Fiery X3eTY receives print jobs, the Spooler window becomes a dynamic display, filled with the names of jobs and their characteristics. The Spool, RIP, and Print areas of the Spooler window represent the stages of printing a job. Jobs come in at the top level (Spool) and drop down to the Print level, unless they are held along the way. The job icons displayed in the Spooler window are explained on page 43. The RAM status bar indicates the amount of memory in use. The Drive status bar indicates the amount of hard disk space in use. NOTE: In the Spooler window, the background color for the yellow and white printer icons is the same. Spooled jobs: Jobs listed in the area below the Spool status bar are PostScript files stored on the Fiery X3eTY hard disk. These jobs were sent to the Print queue (white icons) or the Hold queue (yellow icons). RIPped jobs: Jobs listed in the area below the RIP status bar are ready to print. They have been rasterized (RIPped, or processed for printing) and are waiting, in order, for access to the printer. Rasterized jobs can also be held. Held jobs are indicated by a yellow icon. SPOOLER 41 Printed jobs: Jobs listed in the area below the Print status bar have already been printed. Printed jobs can be stored on the Fiery X3eTY hard disk. The number of jobs that you can store (from 1 to 99) is defined in Setup. If you log on as Administrator or Operator, you can interact with a job wherever it appears in the window by selecting the job and choosing a command from the Job menu, or by doubleclicking the job and setting override options. For more information, see "Manipulating job options and job flow" on page 41. Errors: Jobs with an error are shown in red. To display the error, double-click the job. You cannot check the job properties or hold a job with an error. NOTE: If your job does not appear in the Spooler window, it may have already printed. If so, it appears in the Job Log. To view the Job Log, choose Show Job Log from the Window menu. For more information about the Job Log, see page 51. If the job does not appear in the Job Log, it may have been moved to the Archive window by the operator. The Archive window cannot be viewed with Spooler. To check the archived jobs, contact the operator or go to the Command WorkStation screen. Manipulating job options and job flow Using the commands in the Job menu, you can alter the destinations, priorities, and characteristics of jobs that appear in the Spooler window. To understand the effect each of these commands has on a job, you must understand the way the Fiery X3eTY handles PostScript and raster data, and how jobs are activated or held in the various stages of processing. Before manipulating jobs with Spooler, see Command WorkStation Help. Choose this command from the Job menu Delete Job(s) Cancel Printing Cancel RIPping Duplicate Job(s) To do this Delete the job(s) from the list. Cancel the currently printing job. Cancel the currently processing job. Duplicate one or more selected PostScript data jobs in the Spool or Print areas (creates a reference to the original job, with the same name). Rename the job (PostScript file with or without raster). Raster data is Deleted Deleted Deleted n/a (Duplicate is not available for raster jobs.) Rename Unaffected, but associated with the new name SPOOLER 42 Choose this command from the Job menu Hold To do this Hold the job in the current place (except for a printed job, which is moved to the Spool or RIP area). RIP the job and hold it in the RIP area. Print the job in its turn (RIP the job first if it does not have raster data). Keep the printed job in the Print area until the job limit is reached. Print the job in its turn (RIP the job first if it does not have raster data). After printing, hold the PostScript data and the raster in the RIP area. Give top priority to this job. Print the job (or RIP and print) as soon as the processor and copier/printer are free, before other , waiting jobs. Raster data is Held in RIP area indefinitely, if included with job RIP and Hold Print Held in RIP area indefinitely Temporarily held on the server until the job has completed printing Held in the RIP area indefinitely (saved to disk) Print and Hold (like the PPD option Save Fast Reprint) Process Next Held in RAM after printing (can be selected in the Print area while it remains there), or held in RIP area (saved to disk) if destination was RIP and Hold Deleted Deleted and regenerated (if the newly selected options require reRIPping) or reprinted with the new settings (if none require reRIPping) Remove Raster Override Print Settings Remove the raster from a job that has raster data. Leave the PostScript job in place. Change the print options for the job (see page 43). Thumbnail A Changed if job is edited, unaffected if job is Open the selected held raster data job in the Thumbnail A window, where you can view a full- only viewed screen preview of the job, edit the job, or merge it with raster data from other jobs. Open the selected raster data job (not necessarily a held job) in the Thumbnail B window for viewing or for merging into a job in the Thumbnail A window. Unchanged Thumbnail B SPOOLER 43 Overriding job option settings · To change the job options of a job, select the job and choose Override Print Settings from the Job menu. Click the tabs in the Override Print Settings dialog box to see all the job options. NOTE: An icon to the left of an option name indicates that changing the option's setting requires that the job be reRIPped. When you override these types of options, the job is automatically reRIPped for printing. The options set here are the same ones you set from the Print dialog box when you print from an application. For information about specific print options, see Print Options. Job icons Three types of icons are used for both active jobs and jobs on hold. Icon Active jobs (white icons and rows) PostScript or raster data headed for printing (top) or after printing (bottom) Printer icons PostScript and raster data after printing, ready for fast reprint Raster icon PostScript data already rasterized and held Jobs on hold (yellow icons and rows) PostScript data headed for Print and Hold or job on Hold after printing (Hold) SPOOLER 44 Spool area The job icons in the Spool area are as follows: Spool area icon 1 What it indicates PostScript data from a user on the network (no destination is defined) PostScript data headed for Print How long you see the job Until a destination is chosen 2 Until the RIP is free 3 PostScript data headed for RIP and Hold 4 PostScript data headed for Print and Hold The Spool area is both the receiving area for jobs from users on the network (Hold queue) and the waiting area for jobs that are to be RIPped. Hold queue jobs: When printing requires an operator (because the Print queue and Direct connection are disabled), the operator must assign a destination to all jobs received from users on the network (Icon 1). Once assigned, jobs move down the Spool queue for processing (Icons 2, 3, and 4). All jobs printed to the Hold queue require routing by an operator. Print queue jobs: When printing does not require an operator, network jobs sent to the Print queue appear in the Spool area, where they are displayed with a white printer icon (Icon 2). When jobs reach the head of the queue, they are RIPped and printed without operator intervention. Direct Connection: Jobs printed to the Direct connection are not displayed in the job lists. They are displayed briefly in the status bars (where they cannot be selected) and are included in the Job Log. SPOOLER 45 RIP area The job icons in the RIP area are as follows: RIP area icon 1 What it indicates Raster data, no destination defined. May have been printed before and held. Raster data headed for Print in its turn. No hold defined. How long you see the job Until it is deleted, moved to the Archive window, or stripped of its raster data and sent to the Spool area Until copier/printer is free to print the job 2 After a job is rasterized, it goes into the RIP area. The RIP area holds only jobs with raster data. Jobs in the RIP area are either waiting for the copier/printer to be free (Print queue jobs, Icon 2), or they are being held (Icon 1). Held jobs in the RIP area have already been rasterized (RIP and Hold), or they have been printed and their raster data has been routed back to the RIP area (Print and Hold). NOTE: Raster jobs in the RIP area that are waiting to print (Icon 2) cannot be manipulated by job commands. Print area The job icon in the Print area is as follows: Print area icon 1 What it indicates PostScript data only. Raster data has been deleted. How long you see the job Until the job limit is reached The Print area, also referred to as the Printed queue, contains jobs that have already been printed. These jobs were assigned the Print destination (white printer icon in the Spool or RIP areas) without any Hold instructions; therefore, they all have white icons. NOTE: A job row that appears in light red indicates that an error occurred while printing the job. To see the error, double-click anywhere in the row. While it is printing, a job consists of PostScript and raster data. The raster data in RAM is not cleared until memory is needed to rasterize the next job. As long as the raster data is intact, the job can be reprinted from the Printed queue. Printed jobs are represented by a white PostScript icon (Icon 1). If the job was printed from a held raster job (in the RIP area), the raster data in the RIP area remains and can be used to reprint the job after the raster data has been cleared from the Printed queue. SPOOLER 46 Previewing, editing, and merging jobs Spooler includes two thumbnail windows that allow you to preview and edit raster data. Use the thumbnail windows in the following ways: · In Thumbnail A, you can view the currently printing job as it is RIPping, or any raster data job. · From Thumbnail A, you can open a full-screen preview of a raster file. · Using Thumbnail A and Thumbnail B together, you can merge raster data from more than one file, even if the files were printed from different applications on different computer platforms. The job merge features eliminates the limitations of certain software applications. You can merge raster pages of documents of different types, and from different computer operating systems. You can merge color pages from graphics programs with text pages from a word processor. Previewing raster jobs You can use Thumbnail A to preview pages of the currently RIPping job. You can also use Thumbnail A and Thumbnail B to preview any held raster data job in the RIP area. The thumbnail windows also allow you to open a thumbnail view of any held raster data job in the RIP area and perform electronic collation or document merging. For more information about this feature, see page 48. Previewing the currently rasterizing job To see the progress of jobs as they are RIPped, leave Thumbnail A open in RIP Preview mode. TO VIEW THUMBNAILS OF THE CURRENTLY RIPPING FILE 1 Click the Thumbnail A tab at the right of the Spooler window. 2 Click the RIP preview icon at the left side of the Thumbnail A window. In this mode, Thumbnail A displays each page of the currently processing job after it is RIPped. 1 2 Click to display the currently rasterizing job Click to close the thumbnail window 1 2 SPOOLER 47 3 Choose a PostScript file in the Spool or Print area and select RIP and Hold, Print, or Print and Hold. As pages are RIPped, they are displayed in Thumbnail A. 4 When you finish viewing, click the Thumbnail A tab to close the thumbnail window. TO VIEW THUMBNAILS OF ANY RASTER DATA FILE 1 Select any raster data job in the RIP area. 2 Choose Thumbnail A or Thumbnail B from the Job menu. NOTE: Wait until all pages have been displayed before opening another raster file with Thumbnail A. If the job contains many pages, it may take some time for the entire job to be displayed. 1 2 Click to open a full-screen preview Click to close thumbnail window 1 2 3 When you finish viewing, click the Thumbnail A or Thumbnail B tab to close the thumbnail window. Displaying full-screen previews You can open a full-screen preview of any page in the Thumbnail A window. The full-screen preview is a view-only display, and it takes time to retrieve the data. TO OPEN A FULL-SCREEN PREVIEW 1 In Thumbnail A, select a page and click the Full Preview icon at the left of the window. You can also display full-screen previews by double-clicking the page in Thumbnail A. NOTE: If you edit a job using the thumbnail windows, you must save the edited file before you can view full-screen previews of all its pages.
