Set defaults for all job properties

The Set Defaults feature allows you to customize the Fiery server by modifying the default job properties settings. After the Fiery server has been configured using Set Defaults, it determines the initial settings whenever creating Fiery Hot Folders, Virtual Printers, and Server Presets.

Jobs imported to the Fiery server with Apply default settings selected in the Import Files dialog box, or dragged into the Job Center will also inherit the current default settings as configured with the Set Defaults feature. Once the jobs are in the Fiery server queues, the job properties can be overridden.

You can view or edit default settings for all job properties. To change the default job settings, including color settings, select Set Defaults. The Set Defaults feature can be accessed from the following areas:
  • Device Center > Virtual Printers
  • Device Center > Server Presets
  • Device Center > Color Management
  • Server > Set Defaults

Set Defaults opens the Default settings window where you can select the desired default settings for the Fiery server. These settings apply to the Print queue and Hold queue, and act as the defaults for future server presets or virtual printers.

  1. Click the More icon (vertical three dots) next to the name of the Fiery server, then select Set Defaults, or select Server > Set Defaults.
  2. In the Default settings window, set options individually and choose whether to lock the option or leave it unlocked.

    You can also choose to Lock All or Unlock All.

    You cannot lock Output profile because the Fiery server always defaults to Use job defined settings.

    Note: To reset job properties to the settings before they were changed, click Reset.
  3. Click OK.
    Note: To back up the default settings, including color default settings, listed in Set Defaults, ensure you select Virtual Printers in Fiery System Restore. For more information, see Back up Fiery server settings from Command WorkStation (FS350/350 Pro and earlier).
