Print files by importing them directly to the Fiery server. You can import
multiple jobs at a time and maintain the format of
the files.
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
- The connected Fiery servers in the Servers
list
- The Printing or Processing queues
- The Held queue
However, for the best control over how files
import, use the Import icon
in the Job Center toolbar
or the Import Job icon in
the File menu. You are
immediately taken to the browse window on your
computer. When files are selected, they are
displayed in the Import
Files window. In this window, 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
window 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.
The Import
Files window appears. 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 window on your computer, select the
files you want to upload.
The Import
Files window appears.
-
Do one of the following:
- 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.
