Fiery Preview

You can view the page and sheet content of a job in Fiery Preview and specify print options. You can perform additional make-ready tasks in preparation for printing jobs, including imposition.

Fiery Preview is a pre-raster image process (pre-RIP) preview and displays jobs that have been spooled, but not processed. If you have Fiery Impose and Fiery Compose or Fiery JobMaster enabled, you can integrate the functions of the combined workflows in the Preview window, and view the results of your actions before printing.

  • Fiery Impose converts jobs to PDF file format and allows you to create imposition layouts.
  • Fiery Compose allows you to set chapters, add blank pages, and specify different media for a job.
  • Fiery JobMaster offers access to complex document preparation tasks such as tab insertion, scanning, chapterization, page numbering, and late stage editing. JobMaster includes Fiery Compose options.
    Note: For information on Fiery Impose/Compose/JobMaster, see JobMaster Help.
Note: You can create a brand new print job in the Fiery Impose/Compose/JobMaster window by selecting the New Job icon in the Command WorkStation tool bar. Create a new job when you want to prepare a job from a scanned document, print a tabs-only job, or combine existing jobs, starting from an empty job.

Reader Preview is accessed from the main Fiery Preview window and displays jobs as they will look after they are printed.

If you select Preview for a processed job, the job opens in raster preview mode. Printed and archived jobs with raster data can be previewed. Archived jobs with raster data must be archived on the Fiery Server.

If you have Fiery Graphic Arts Package, Premium Edition, installed, you can view the raster image of a processed job in ImageViewer and adjust colors and perform other soft-proofing actions. ImageViewer is accessed from a button in the raster preview window.

To open a rasterized job and specify settings in Fiery Impose/JobMaster/Compose, select the job in Command WorkStation Job Center and select Remove Raster from the Actions menu.
