An archived job contains the source file received by the Fiery server, along with the job properties (job ticket) set for the job.

Job tickets may reference server-based resources such as color profiles, entries for Substrate Catalog, and calibration settings. The archived file does not save these server resources even though the job ticket refers to them. If the job ticket points to an unavailable resource, the job will use the default settings for that resource.

Archives contain server-specific information and settings only applied when restoring the job to its original server. You can restore or import an archive job to a different server. If the server is a different model, the server will retain common job ticket settings from both servers, and the server default settings will replace other settings that are not present.

When you archive a job, you can save thumbnails and previews of processed jobs, which also saves the raster images of the job, so that the job does not need to be processed later. Preserving thumbnails and previews increases the file size of the archived files.
