Creating versions

You can create versions of a job if the original file has been built with spot colors or layers. If the job is flatwork or a booklet, it must be pre-imposed. The job is then imported into Fiery Command WorkStation Held list.

Note: To create versions of a job that has been laid out in Metrix Quick Impose, you must export the job from Metrix Quick Impose as JDF.

To create versions of a job:

Open the spooled job in Fiery Preview in one of the following ways:
- Right-click the job and select Preview.
- Select the job and choose Preview from the Actions menu.
- Select the job and click the Preview icon in the toolbar.
The job appears in the Fiery Preview window. Thumbnails of the job display in the left pane, and the selected page in the main pane.
Click the Version Editor icon in the upper-right corner of the Fiery Preview window. The job opens in the Version Editor window.
Click either the Spot colors tab or the Layers tab.
Select or clear the check boxes to preview the spot colors or layers.
To create a version, select the spot color or layer and click the Add (plus sign) icon.
Enter a name for the version in the Enter version name dialog box and click OK. If you have previously created a version in the Version Editor for this file, a dialog box opens and asks if you want to save this as the current version. Choose either Yes, overwrite the current version or No, create a new version.
Click the Export icon to print the versions you have created.
In the Export versions to held queue dialog box, select the versions you want to print and click OK. If multiple versions have been saved, you can select the versions in the Export versions to held queue dialog box. The versions are exported to the Held list as separate jobs.
Note: The versions you export can be processed and previewed using ImageViewer.
In Fiery Command WorkStation, you can select the job and specify job properties.
If you do not want to print the versions at this time, close the Version Editor window. The versions will be saved as part of the job. The user can choose to export and print the job at a later time.
Note: If the version is not exported as a new job, the original imported file will be printed without applying any of the versioning edits.
