Create a Local or Server Preset

If you are an Administrator, you can create, edit, rename, unpublish, publish, and delete Server Presets in Server > Device Center > Workflows > Job Presets. You can save a Local Preset in the Job Properties window only.

You create a Local Preset or Server Preset by choosing the settings in the Job Properties window, and then saving them in the Presets list.

Administrators can save a preset as a Local Preset or Server Preset. Operators can save only a Local Preset.

Create a local preset

Administrators and Operators can save settings in the Job Properties window as local presets.

  1. Double-click a job in the Held or Printed queue, or select the job and do one of the following:

    • Right-click to select Properties.

    • Click the Properties toolbar icon in Job Center.

    • Click Actions > Properties.

  2. Adjust the print settings for each tab as desired.
  3. Under Presets, choose Save Preset.
  4. Enter a descriptive name for the preset, and select Local Presets.
  5. Click Save.

The Local Presets are available any time you access the Job Properties window. They remain on your local hard disk until you delete them.

Create a server preset

Administrators can save settings in the Job Properties window as server presets. These presets are saved on the Fiery server and shared with its users.

  1. Click Server > Device Center > Workflows > Job Presets.
  2. Click New.
  3. Enter a descriptive name for the preset.

    Spaces are not allowed in preset names.

  4. Enter a description for the preset (optional).
  5. Choose the type of server preset by selecting one of the following:
    • Complete - The preset contains all the settings in Job Properties. When you apply this type of preset, it will override all current job settings.
    • Selective - The preset contains only Job Properties settings that you select. When you apply this type of preset, it will change only the defined settings. All other job settings are preserved.

    You cannot create a virtual printer from this preset if you choose Selective.

  6. Click Define to specify the job properties, and then click OK.
  7. Click OK to close the Job Preset Settings window.

The Server Presets are available any time you access Server > Device Center > Workflows > Job Presets or the Job Properties window. They remain on the Fiery server until an Administrator deletes them.

After a Server Preset is created, the Settings pane (located on the right side) shows the settings modified from the defaults, and locked settings. The Server Preset is published automatically so it can be shared with other users connected to the Fiery server.

Selective presets can be created only in Device Center. They cannot be created from Job Center.
