You can import multiple jobs at a time. Importing
files to a queue is similar to printing through a printer driver or application, but jobs sent using
the Print command are converted to PostScript, unlike the Import function, which maintains the file
format. You can import files by dragging and dropping them to
- Connected Fiery servers in the Servers list
- Printing or Processing queues
- Held queue
However, for the best control over how files
import, use the Import icon in the Job Center toolbar,
or the Import Job in the File menu. You are
immediately taken to the browse dialog on your computer. When files are selected, they are displayed
in the Import Files dialog. In this dialog box, you can easily apply a
workflow (server preset or virtual printer) to files at the time of import. Generally, you cannot do
this when you import files by dragging and dropping (the Servers list is the
only exception to this rule).
-
Drag and drop files or folders from the computer
to the Printing or Processing queue, or the
Held list.
The supported file types are PS, PRN (when created
with a PostScript or PCL printer driver), PDF,
EPS, TIFF, PCL (when created with a PCL driver),
PDF/VT, PPML, ZIP, VPS, and Fiery FreeForm
Plus.
Note: The
PCL, PPML, ZIP, and VPS file types may not be
supported for all Fiery servers.
The Import
Files dialog box does not display when
you drag and drop files or folders to these
locations. The entire contents of folders are
imported.
-
Drag and drop files to a connected Fiery server in the
Servers list, Printing queue,
Processing queue or Held list.
The Import
Files dialog box is opened. See step
5.
- To import files directly from your computer, do
one of the following:
Click .
- Click the Import
toolbar icon in Job Center.
-
In the browse dialog on your computer, select the files you want to upload.
The Import
Files dialog box is opened.
-

- Select Apply default
settings to import files with attributes defined in the files. If a setting is not
defined, the default setting on the Fiery server is used.
- Select Use Server
Preset and then choose from a list of factory default presets or server presets that are
currently published on the Fiery server.
- Select Use Virtual Printer and then choose from a list of virtual
printers that are currently published on the Fiery server.
The Use Server Preset
and Use Virtual Printer
options above only appear if server presets or
virtual printers have been set up on the Fiery server.
-
Select a job action. For example:
- Process and Hold (default)
- Print
- Print and
Hold
- Print and
Delete
Other choices may appear based on the
capabilities of the Fiery server.
Note: The
last chosen action will be displayed.
