Set job options
You can configure settings for options that affect all jobs, such as whether to enable the Printed queue.
- From Configure, select Job Management > Printed Queue, then select the Save printed jobs check box.
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.
- 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.
- To receive reprinted jobs from the Printed queue more quickly, select the Save rasters with jobs in the Printed queue check box. The Fiery server will not need to reprocess the jobs when you reprint them.
-
To print a start page when the Fiery server is turned on or restarted, select Fiery
Server then 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.
-
To display a preview thumbnail of a job in Command WorkStation while it is being processed, select
Job Management then 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. -
To configure the Fiery server to begin processing (RIPping) large PS or PCL jobs before they are done spooling, select
Job Management then select the RIP while Receive check
box.
Consider these points 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, you can enable Sequential Print from Job Submission > Sequential Print and then select the Enable Sequential Print check box.
-
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.

-
To securely erase a job from the Fiery server after printing, do the following:
-
Select Security > Secure Erase and then select the Enable Secure Erase check box (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 in a separate document or may be part of Configuration and Setup. -
From Operational Mode, specify when the files are erased on the Fiery server (if the feature is supported by your Fiery server).
-
- 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, select Job Management > Sample Print, and then specify the following options:
Frequency - To perform a Sample Print only when requested by the operator, select On-demand. To perform a Sample Print after a certain number of pages, select Every (n) sheets, modify the number in the field, then select For all jobs or For the current job only.
Content - Select the type of job for which to perform a Sample Print. If you want to print a single sheet regardless of the type of job, select Sheet (for any kind of job). If you want to print a sheet for uncollated jobs, and an entire output set for collated jobs, select Sheet (for uncollated job / Set (for collated jobs). 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. - To enable users to specify how to handle jobs that cannot print because of missing media, select Job Management > Job Mismatch, and then select the Enable Job Mismatch check box.
- Save your changes.
